Around Hollywood
Hollywood (UP.) Walt Dis
ney answered the critics to his
Disneyland project today: "The
public likes it,
it's a success"
and "The crit

crazy."
It s been a
month and a
half since the
cartoon king's
amusement
park opened
Aline Mosby - at nearby Ana-
heim at what most reporters and
critics called one of the worst
, fiascos in Hollywood history.
Visitors to the park on pre
view day were bogged down in
a traffic jam. There were long
les for the rides and not
enousrh drinking fountains. The
entire project was dubbed "too
commercial", and "too expen-
five."
His Own Poll
Since that premiere, Disney
revealed, he's been hanging
around the park and conducting
"my own poll" of the custom
ers. Altiough many first-nighters
complained about the park, he
said, "Gosh, the people think it s
wonderful."
"You can't please everybody,"
0 Disney declared today. "I go
generally by the reaction of the
public. I've never done any-
q thing in my life that wasn't pan
ned by somebody.
"I have blind faith in the pub

Automation Seen As
'Great Contribution'
Chicago (U.R) An automa
tion consultant believes Ameri
can business should take the of
fensive, instead of a defensive
ole, in relation to automation.
John Diebold told a recent Na
tional Association of Manufac
turers conference that in the
perspective of history "automa
tion will be viewed as one of
the great contributions of indus
try and technology."
"Why then," he asked," do we
find ourselves defending it?"
Automation, the integration of
machines with one another into
fully automatic systems, has re
cently caused much concern in
labor circles because of the fear
of unemployment.
"Little has been done by man
agement to- emphasize the pro
mise of more jobs, better work
ing conditions and shorter hours
which the new technology
makes possible," Diebold said.
"It is here that management
can shift from the defensive to
the offensive."
Diebold listed five responsi
bilities which must be recog
nized as management faces this
task. They are:
1. Realistic advance planning.
2. Comprehensive retain i n g
programs.
3. Job shift studies for the
present work force. '
4. Coordination of hiring with
internal company readjustments
to minimize lay-offs.
5. Information programs to
acquaint labor with the new
tnd more interesting jobs and
etter working conditions which
automation makes possible.

Cowbird is Sneak;
Lets Others Work
Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.P.)
The cowbird is a "sneak? among
birds, said Harry W, Hann, as
sistant professor of zoology at
the University of Michigan.
The. cowbird lays her eggs in
other birds' nests and leaves the
incubating and raising of the
young to the unsuspecting
"hosts." This is normal behavior
pattern for the cowbird, which
frequently picks out a likely
nest while still under construc
tion. She also has no qualms
about removing one of the eggs
from the nest to make room for
hers, said Hann.
Some birds, such as the robin,
aren't fooled and promptly re
move the egg, which comes to an
untimely end. Others who ap
parently don't notice a thing are
the song sparrow, chipping spar
row, red-eyed vireo, ovenbird
and the yellow-throat.
Hosts Feeds Young
As if hatching the cowbird's
egg isn't enough, a "host" bird
also feeds the youngster, the pro
fessor stated. This can be a prob
lem, for young cowbirds in the
nest commonly are larger than
the young of the host and can
reach higher and call louder for
food. Sometimes this results in
the starving of the host's young.
Occasionally young of the
host may be crowded out of the
nest, but the cowbird makes no
effort to throw them out.
The cowbird, a member of the
blackbird family, is about the
same size as the red winged
blackbird. The female is slate
colored, and the male is black
with a brownish head.
For a delectable new pudding
use one pound of rhubarb,
which you've cooked and drained
add fc-cup homemade straw
berry jam and place in a greased
baking dish. Sprinkle 34 cup
finely crushed cornflakes on top
and spread two tablespoons of
melted butter over this. Bake in
a moderate oven for about. 15
minutes, or until browned.
Serve warm, with cream.

SCIENCE AT WORK
Br DELOS SMITH
United Pre Science Editor
New York (U.P.) A scientific
way to relax is to
Lie flat on your back on a
fairly hard bed with a small pil
low under your neck with a
smaller one under your knees.
Have your arms at your sides,
with the elbows half bent, the
hands half closed. Have your
knees slightly separated and all
joints partly flexed.
Now think of your shoulders.
Think that they're opening out
wardly. Next think of your arms
think they're falling away
from your shoulders. Now think
your back is sinking through the
bed. After that, think your legs,
knees, and feet are falling out
ward by their own weight.
Think of the dent your head is
making in the pillow. Now,
think of your eyelids closing of
theif own weight, then of your
face hanging by the cheek-bones,
then of your jaws hanging loose.
Do all these things by turn,- giv
ing each one about two minutes
of thought. Then start all over
again.
Meanwhile, breathe by letting
the chest wall collapse of its own
weight with each expiring
breath. Pause for two seconds
before drawing in the next
breath or as long as you can
comfortably.
"Get a feeling of general re
laxation, letting all the joints
give a little more with each out
going breath," said the doctor
Who was prescribing this way
of relaxing. "This (way of
breathing) should be done six
times. Note the train of sensa
tion in the limbs usually heav
iness followed by lightness or
'floating'; faint, transient pins-and-needles
in the hands; feeling
of warmth, passing up from the
extremities. A pleasant, torrid
day-dreaming state generally en
sues, and any tendency to direct
thinking should be deliberately
diverted into a day dream."-

it is all but impossible for them
to relax. Rorie did his instruct
ing in the pages of the British
Medical Journal.
Watch Concentration
He took the relaxing exercises
from a standard British work on
the medical management of preg
nant women, and there the exer
cises are designed to lessen mus
cular and mental tension in child
birth. Among anxiety neurotics,
"many of the more intelligent
patients benefit" from them, he
said. "Muscular tension is re
duced and a calm state of mind
induced which often leads to
sleep."
This writer showed the pre
scription to three American "doc
tors who said they ought to work
for anyone, provided not too
much mental concentration was
employed in jumping from
thoughts about arms to thoughts
about the back, and so forth.
Incidentally, in the last 10
years in Britain "the general
practitioner has become aware
that a large part of his time is
taken up by patients suffering
from psychoneuroses," Dr. Rorie
said. But only the most obvious
cases get any treatment, beyond
a prescription for a sedative,
since under the British system
of state medicine, the general
practitioner is hard-pressed for
time.
Roller Skating Helps
Polio-Crippled Girl
Akron, O. (U.R) A seven-year-old
Akron girl has discov
ered her own therapy for crip
pling polio.
Barbara Louise Etter walks on
crutches with a heavy brace on
her left leg, but she discards the
walking aids and dons roller
skates twice a week.
The determined little girl was
an experienced skater before
she was crippled with polio last
July. During long months of con
valesence she reminded her
mother that she would be back
on skates soon.
Just after Barbara left the hos
pital her mother, Mrs. J. J. Dahl,
spoke to doctors about her
daughter's wish to continue skat
ing. The medical men agreed to
give it a try.
Barbara then started the long
weeks of exercise with skates
until she is now able to skate
for half -hour periods twice a
week and even do some tricks on
skates. '
Weekly checks at the hospital
keeps nurses and doctors in con
stant surprise. One physician re
ports that the child's weak foot
muscles have been strengthened
to such a degree that she may
eventually drop her crutches and
braces and walk normally.
He said Barbara's success
with the roller skating therapy
might provide equal success for
other polio-crippled children.
