New York U.R) Two pro lessors of psychology want their science of the human mind and human behavior to learn how to call its shots that is, acquire the knowledge with which it can say precisely what is meant when this person or that person is said to be "abnormal" or "nor mal" or "sick" or "well" or "maladjusted" or "disturbed." When people use words like those about some other person, no one can know exactly what they're talking about except in "the most extreme instances" not even the people doing the talking, not even psychiatrists and psychologists when they use the words, said Profs. Kenneth R. Hammond and Lawrence I. O'Kelly in a formal communica tion to members of the American Psychological Association. Communications Hampered Acquiring the knowledge with which to define those words with dictionary exactness is going to be extremely difficult if not im possible, they granted. But it ought to be tried. As of now, the lack of exact meanings for those mum: l iivwraMnmsmt IS'l Hi (tI msmmsm 1.1101111 -sr" "CITY OF PORTLAND" S I 1 11 EXTRA COMFORT yoor choice of roomy sleeping car accommodations . . . berths, roomettes, bedrooms, suites, compartments; also reserved coach seats of the most modem design, deep-cushioned, adjustable, with fall-length leg rests.

But "one statement can be made with confidence," they said "the degree of abnormality of any patient (or person) is always ultimately measured with refer ence to some observer." This "observer" may be either a "community person" or a "com munity instrument." A "community person" is a composite of the persons around the person who is being judged "abnormal" or "normal," "sick" or "well" of mind. A "commun ity instrument" is composed of psychiatrists who have the offi cial power in extreme in stances of saying which person is so "normal" he can be con sidered sane, or so very "ab normal" he has to be tabbed in sane. The professors analyzed only the "community instrument," since such judging is the business of the psychiatrist. He can ask his patient about dates, historical persons, where his home and workplace are located, and what does nine and seven add up to? "Unfortunately," they said, "the factors of behavior which can be thus evaluated are, for the most part, trivial." The psychiatrist also needs to evaluate how well the patient is in tune with his own "personal and social realities." Necessarily this psychiatric judge must have "a particular frame of reference" and that has to be his own "con ception of society's thresholds of tolerance of deviant behavior." Therefore, they reasoned, psy chiatrists themselves might be considered the standard of the "normal," against which the nor malcy of all other persons might be measured. They granted at once that anyone could question if psychiatrists actually repre sented a standard of "social real ity." They said: "It must be con fessed that no one knows how valid" their judgments are, yet the quest for "true validity seems fruitless." However, it is possible to at tempt "to measure the degree to which the psychiatrists achieves the standards of other groups, as, for example, the community person, religious groups, legal groups, other psychiatric or psy chological groups, etc." Then they suggested technical ways of doing it. Hammond is associate profes sor of psychology at the Univer sity of Illinois. Gov. Paiferson Eyes Cold Spell Problems Salem (U.P.) Gov. Paul Pat terson yesterday expressed hope that the new marketing depart ment of the State Department of Agriculture would be able to as sist in any marketing problems brought about by the current cold spell. Gov. Patterson, addressing the 24th annual meeting of the Ore gon Farm Bureau Federation, also said he was hopeful that the department set up by the 1955 Legislature would go a long "way toward correcting the need for surplus and price pressures. Turning to the freight car shortage in Oregon, Gov. Patter son pointed out there was no ready answer to the problem, which has faced the state for the past 40 years. Federation president Ben Rob inson said earlier that the group hopes to find markets in chan nels of trade, rather than through commodity credit. Robinson added that the fed eration was more concerned over constantly rising costs of mate rials and labor, than over the present falling level of farm products. Oregon Ex-Convict Faces Murder Charge Yakima (U.P.) Prosecuting Attorney Don Clark yesterday charged Buster Allen Shirley, 28, an Oregon ex-convict, with second degree murder in connec tion with the slaying of Hollis Boone, 36, of Shatter, Calif. Clark set Shirley's bail at S15, 000. Clark, however, did not file any charges against Shirley's companion, Miss Myrtle L. Blunk, Hawthorne, Calif. Shortly after making the charge, Clark and John Thomp son, chief investigator for the Yakima county sheriff's office, left the city by plane for Los Angeles to question the couple in connection with the murder. The pair was arrested by Los Angeles county sheriff's officers in Hawthorne last night. Boone's body was found In the trunk of his car Saturday after the Washington state patrol found the automobile abandoned near the Yakima fairgrounds. HALE AT 100 South Haven, Mich. U.P.)

Use Tribune Want Ads Low in CosfJ BPA Eleclriciiy Gets Record Use Portland (U.R) Bonneville Power Administration said cold weather over the Pacific North west caused record use of BPA electricity yesterday. A record generation of 4,263, 000 kilwatts was reported be tween 10 and 11 a.m. yesterday. BPA said the November peak of last year was 3,477,000 kilo watts.

Passage of Cigarette Tax Proposal Urged Portland !U.R) The legisla tive committee of the Oregon Ed ucation Association recommends passage of the cigarette tax pro posal, which will be voted upon during the next general election.
