A MOTHER'S JOY Dr. Alberto Gainza Paz is hugged by
his mother, Mrs. Zelmira Paz de Anchorena, on his arrival
at the Ezeiza Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Several
thousand well-wishers were on hand to greet Paz and broke
through police lines to surround embracing mother and
son, both of whom shed tears oi joy. Paz was returning
from exile in the United States to reclaim his newspaper,
La Prensa, which had been confiscated by Peron.
SCIENCE AT WORK
New York (U.R) Many peo
pie are fat because being fat
servi)a useful, purpose from the
infantile viewpoint of their un
conscious minds. Dr. Bernard V.
Strauss, psychiatrist and teacher
of psychiatry, told an audience
of physicians.
"There is the individual whose
major orientation to me seems
to center about oral activities,"
said the doctor. "He loves to eat,
drink, talk, smoke( suck, bite,
chew, swallow, incorporate.
"For him food represents in
take in a symbolic as well as an
actual sense. It means adding to
himself. It means getting bigger,
being stronger. It means what
the popular expression signifies
to throw one's weight around."
Strauss spoke also of "the indi
vidual for whom food intake is
specifically equated with the
warm . feeling of love," of being
Jield, of being protected, of being
safe.
Other Types
"He miS eat excessively as a
riae, or he may stuff himself
wnen he feels anxious, lonely,
deserted, rejected, unappreciat
ed, unrecognized, unloved. In
earliest years there was estab
lished in his unconscious (mind)
the equation .'food equals love'."
And then, there is the person
who will nqj) permit himself to
be deprived. The doctor can talk
all he wants to about the physi
cal dangers of being too fat
this patient won't "relinquish
one gumdrop." e
"He must have what he
wants," said Strauss. "His need
is compulsive, unreasoned, indis
criminate. It is as if some dread
catastrophe would befall him if
he were to accede to the reality
demand that he forego what he
wants.
"Thisr) confusion which con-

trols him, did at one time in his
life make a kind of sense for him.
He needed such an omnipotent
defense to ward off what for him
may well have been an utterly
intolerable realization of his vul
nerability, his precarious .de
pendence on the will and fancy
of someone he feared and hated.
In his compulsive eating he is
lord and master. No one can
make him do anything."
Treatment Complex
In adults, obesity "may be an
outgrowth of a childhood prob
lem specifically centered about
feeding." But it isn't as simple
as that, from the view of the
physicain seeking to thin a fat
patient and thus preserve his
health. The reason it isn't is that
psychologic reaction to the state
of obesity itself is a common occurrence."
These are taken into the dy-'
namics of the mind and have
many expressions, Strauss said
in outlining some of them. He
then 'warned the physicians that
it "is not always a safe and harm
less procedure to attempt to re
move forcibly or dramatically a
longstanding, tenaciously pre
served symptom."
Dr. Strauss began his lecture
on the premise that most physi
cians these days accept the pow
ers of mind and body but then
give the obese patient a rou
tine physical examination and
laboratory tests and then, with
out further ado, put her on a
standard treatment regimen.
Sometimes she doesn't stay put.
and the scale tells the story.
Joint Responsibility
Held in Plane Crash
Washington (U.R) The Su
preme Court has held that gov
ernment airport tower operators
and an Eastern Airlines pilot
shared the blame for a 1949
crash that killed 56 persons here.
The decision, handed down
Monday, entitles the estates of
the victims to bring suit against
the airline as well as the govern
ment. As much as 52,000,000 in
damages may be involved. -
In another case yesterday, the
court agreed to decide whether
Nebraska's "right-to-work" ' law
and union shop provisions of the
federal Railway Labor Act are
in conflict. It will be the first
time the high court has reviewed
any of 17 controversial state
laws which forbid compulsory
union membership.
Man's Hobby Violates
Regulations in Iowa
Elizabethtown, 111. (U.R) J. T.
Hearell, a former sheriff has an
unusual hobby. He obtained a
flag which flew over the Capitol
in Washington, D.C., and started
it on the rounds to the various
states, asking that it be flown
over the capitol buildings and
returned to him. ,
So far, 37 states have obliged
Hearell, but Iowa turned down
his request. The flag is 5-by-10
feet, and Iowa regulations call
for flags of only 5-by-8 feet to
be flown over its capitol.

city council has passed an ordin
ance granting the Owyhee Bot
tled Gas company a 20-year fran
