Some Menially III
Business Successes
Carbondale, III. (U.R) A
Southern Illinois University so
cialogist has found that some
mentally ill persons "carry on
managerial and professional jobs
with apparent success.
Dr. Herman Lantz reported on
the first mental study ever made
of a large group of non-hospitalized
men. His subjects were 1,000
World War II Air Force officers
and enlisted men from various
culture regions and walks of life.
"Some mentally ill persons
make the grade in high - status
positions because somehow they
are able to integrate their de
vient personalities with their oc
cupations," Lantz said in a re
port in the journal, Social Problems.
The sociologist found 36.1 per
cent of the 119 men who held
high-status positions in civilian
life were severely psychoneurot
ic; Zl per cent were muaiy so,
and 8.4 per cent were actually
psychotics the most advanced
form of mental illness.
Lantz said his findings "call
for an analysis of such people to
learn how they are able to inte
grate their psychoneuroses with
their jobs."
His study shows persons en
gaged in agricultural vocations
are least psychotic of any occu
pation. Lantz believes this is due
more to rural family and group
life than to occupation. He
found few students and clerical
workers were mentally ill.

Washington (U.R) Margaret

Seems that back there in the

showed up and scared the wits
out of a Capitol floor-scrubber.

KEFAUVER MISSES CAP
Detroit (U.R) Sen. Estes Ke

ed up that he threw in his broom,
disappeared and hasn't been
seen since.
According to some fine re
search done by an unknown re
porter for the National Tribune
on Sept. 8, 1927, a black cat.
or some other form of ghost
was on the prowl nightly in
Statuary Hall where live the
marble and bronze likenesses of
the great in our history.
According to the reporter,
who made a thorough study of
the problem, the cat was black,
as, indeed, all cats are in the
dark of night.
Cat Wandered
The fellow who wrote the
story said that the cat was all
over the place every night.
Frightening the daylights, or
nightlights out of night care
takers. Before the floor-washer dis
appeared, the reporter got hold
of the man. The cat, although he
never saw her, he said, must
have been "big as a big tiger"
on account of she flashed green
eyes "as big as saucers" when
she went running around statues
of the likes of Uriah M- Rose of
Alabama, the jurist, writer and
world traveler. Not to mention
Gen. James Shields, the only
man who ever served in the
Senate from three states.
The cat, and her offsprings.
according to the latest reports,
also became quite fond of Gen.
Lew Wallace, the soldier, states
man author.
Maybe the pussy had read, or
heard about the wonderful trib
ute paid to the general Jan. 11,
1910 by Sen. Albert J. Bever
idge, of Indiana, from whence
the general sprang. "General
Lew Wallace loved liberty for
all men and fought for it."
Escape Sought
Mayhap the cat dearly loved
liberty, too, and was looking for
a way out of the gloomy hall of
the immortals which looks so
eerie in the after hours. -
Samuel Adams, according to
the old-time chroniclers, also
was a favorite haunt of the kitty
and her tribe. How could she
and her young help but be im
pressed by the likeness of a man
who signed the declaration, and
was the press agent, you might
say, for what happened at the
Boston tea party? After all, Sam
was known as the "father of
the American Revolution," and
it says to right there under his
statue.
Any smart cat also couldn't
help but cuddle to the likeness
of Daniel Webster, "an expound
er of the Constitution." It is said
that old Dan had a bunch of cats
in his back yard and fed them
catnip and other feline delica
cies by the hour.
But, cats or ghosts I'll go
along with old Charles Ander
son Dana, who once said: "I
don't believe in ghosts, but I've
been afraid of them all of my
life."
