Five Level Application Psychotherapy can be applied on any or all of five levels "in- sight." "educational," "emotion- al," "environment," and "physi- cal.' They cited psychoanalysis as an example of "insight' psy- chotherapy in which a person is made aware of the meanings of "various competing tendencies" within himself. The "educational" level is when psychotherapy uncovers "a real lack of knowledge. Com- mon instances of this sort are j sex information, other biologic facts, and the differences in thinking of children as com pared with adults." The "emotional" level permits the person "to talk more openly about his fantasies, and in some cases to accept direct advice when this is urgently necessary. "Although it is accepted that psychotherapists should avoid direct advice and direction be cause it tends to 'infantilize' the patient and 'encourage depend ency rather than independency, there are times when it is nec- base.

Miss Wilson and Fallon first announced they would fight for the baby they adopted June 28, three days after her birth, and then changed their minds for "the child's benefit." They turned the blacke-eyed little girl back to Miss Leabow last Thursday in a tearful scene in a doctor's office near the coed's campus. him to fight the Packinghouse Workers and another later signed up members for the Bak ery Workers. The Morton case was the open ing gun in an investigation of Shefferman, 70, Chicago labor relations counselor to some 300 firms across the nation. Long, now an unemployed resident of Whittier, Calif., said a Shefferman employee named Jack Nevett interviewed Morton workers about their feelings to ward the union. He said when essary to accept the responsibil ity that a sick patient may be regressed and, like a little child. may need to be controlled and led until he can do better by himself."

Signed Them Into Bakeri He said he helped Binns check a list of workers for pro-union sentiment, and two union ring leaders were fired. Long said he got a substantial pay raise for his efforts. Long said that though Binns person. Having done that, he shifts his part and "it then be comes related to that of the teacher, the parent, and the friend. "We believe that psychothera peutic effects derive from the whole range of human experi ence," the doctors said. "The parent raising the child, the teacher instructing his student, the friend befriending his friend, the doctor treating his patient all are instances of constructive psychotherapeutic activity." The professional medical psy chotherapist differs from parent, teacher, friend because his train ing and experience permits him to work with a knowledge of what he is doing and to have both "working principles" and "a well-defined goal."

REVOLUTIONARY NEW "SHOCK-ABSORBER GIVES EXTRA PROTECTION TO FRAGILE FREIGHT Careful handling of freight has always been a prime concern of Southern Pacific.

Cross or be kicked out. Long said Binns explained that "his hands were tied" and he could not oppose the Bakery Workers. Another Shefferman employee, Charles Bromley, appeared and was given the right to sign up workers in the plant something never granted the other union, Long said. The company signed a con tract with the Bakery Workers for a nickel-an-hour raise, Long said, though the employees were never allowed to vote on wheth er to join that union.

Its forthcoming hearings will in volve unions to some extent, as its earler inquiries brought in management's role in some "im proper" activities. Kennedy told newsmen the committee "expects to go into the activities of the Mennen Co. with Shefferman." One of the di rectors of the Mennen Co. is Wil liams, five times elected Demo cratic governor of Michigan with cribed at heavy CIO support Williams said Monday he had notified committee chairman John L.
