o TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. November 10. 1953 ' Unworrisd Therapist Best for Patients Stanford University, Calif. XI.R) The psychotherapist who worries least is the one best qual ified to make his patients forget their own worries, says a Stan fard psychologist. Prof. Albert Bandura released his findings after tests with 42 practicing psychotherapists. He chose three common types of human anxiety for his experi ment fear of dependency on others, fear of others' hostility and sex fears. He said the effectiveness of psychotherapy depends upon modifying or eliminating fears in the patient. If a therapist has strong fears of his own. however, certain pa tients may arouse these fears, Gleason-Como Video Baffle Moves Info Seventh Round; Perry Narrowing Margin New York (U.R) Tele vision's hottest battle Jackie Gleason versus Perry Como moves into its seventh round this Saturday. Since Oct. 1, when the two performers faced each other across the channel stretch for causing him to interrupt his in terview with questions that change the subject, Bandura said. the first time, they have been waging a see-saw battle for aud ience favor. Gleason ran away with the most of the marbles the first week. Como piled up a 15.3 Trendex rating in his first half hour segment, but Gleason's "stage show" showed a 26.0. Gleason's "Honeymooners," did even better the Kramdens grabbed 37.2 of the televiewing audience while Como was sink ing to a lowly 13.5. But then something happened to Gleason his audience began falling away. Sudden Slip In fact, it slipped so badly that only two weeks ago, on Oct. 29, Gleason was leading Como in his second half hour by only 1.7 points. On that date, "The Honeymooners" showed a 24.5 share of the audience; Como's second half hour, a 22.8. You can take your pick of I reasons for the Gleason plum met. Some say it's because he switched to film that his new sketch lacks the spontaneity of his old show. But Gleason's per sonal manager, George Durgom, pooh-poohs this. Another reason given for the Gleason slip is Como himself. "Mr. Nice Guy" has the most relaxed hour show on TV. And he has managed to corral some of the top guest talent around to support him Rosemary Clooney, Fred Allen, Frankie Laine, Jean Simmons and off beat visitors like Gino Prato. Perfect Timing The producers of the Como hour have been timing their ef forts skillfully, too. Approxi mately at 26 after the hour, they will try to spot their best guests so viewers won't switch over to the opening of "The Honey mooners." NBC-TV officials, of course, are licking their chops over the situation. They've been trying for years to cut into Gleason s CBS-TV audience. ONew York columnists report each week on the situation and the sponsors for both sides are talking it up, too. Sawdust MEDFORD FUEL 00. Tel. 2-2111 .
