Most misbehavior is Entirely normal. Once in a great while, misbehavior is the surface Qjv-mptom of emotional illness which requires professional treatment. Unfortunately for parents it is not always easy to distinguish neurotic conduct from normal mischief. But there are signifi cant differences which can be spotted. For this, you have the word of Dr. Fritz Redl, whom many regard as the world's leading au thority on "disturbed" children. Redl is chief of the laboratory for child research at the Nation al Institute of Mental Health. "The first thing I would im press upon parents," he said in an interview, "is that you cannot judge the 'seriousness' of a child's misbehavior by the de gree to which it happens to an noy you. Normal vs. Abnormal "Some of the most 'normal' things that children do are a great nuisance to adults. On the other hand, conduct that is very Asia Need Benefits Of Democratic Vay San Francisco (IP) "Half thfi world cannot move around irf-bxearts, while the other half rides in Cadillacs," Indian Woman Diplomat Madam Pandit told the U.S. Commission for NUESCO at its final session here. Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, High Commissioner for India in the United Kingdom and sister of Indian Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru, addressed the UNESCO commission conference degates at the Curran theater here. The peoples of Asia "need to fee and taste and feel on their bodies some of the benefits of democracy," Mrs. Pandit said, adding that "their chief hope for meeting their urgent material needs is through industrializa tion." Discussing the problems of in dustralizing a country like India, Mrs. Pandit said that private en terprise alone "cannot possibly meet the requirements." There has been little in the history of South and Southeast Asia "with its long colonial past, which could inspire faith in the (Jfliins to be derived from total dependence upon private enter prise." 1 f r Uit if your rT AC fnikj " 1 I' fitted ;Ur?&J 5: S2' B . pot the heaUJj2L 1 i AND YOUR FUEL L Ordinary beaters pile the beat op on the ceiling tmtil some of it finally seeps down to the living level If you own an ordinary beater, you know how costly and uncomfortable that system is!

WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (IP) Here's a sug gestion for a Near Year's resolu tion that comes from Wall Street's canyons: OTsWtert "We resolve never again to let Mr. Khrush chev write our market letters for us."

But if he breaks into song, tsk, tsk, the joint may have to pay federal cabaret tax even if he is just a customer and is sing ing such a customer-type melody as the old-timer quoted above. There are so many alarming items abroad nowadays that this one a shocker to all us golden voiced tavern singers has been generally ignored. And yet, here it is, as quoted from the middle of a long tax roundup in the Wall Street Journal: Songfesis Taxable "Impromptu songfests of tav ern customers may constitute entertainment for purposes of federal cabaret tax enforcement, lick Turkey, and those Sputniks, to mention a few. The Market community has been talking more about Russia than it has about anything else, including golf in Westchester county. The idea for the foregoing resolution is taken from a state ment by J. C. Luitweiler, econ omist for Hayden, Stone & Co. who advises: "Use time-tested standards to judge, investment values and make decisions to invest or not to invest without the benefit of Mr. Khrushchev as our market letter writer." Criticizes Depresson Talk Luitweiler also criticizes those who are "playing into Russia's hands by talking ourselves into a depression and undermining each other's confidence in our selves and our government." Another thing that is getting market attention is the tax prob lem and here also Russia enters the discussion. Conservative Wall Streeters favor cutting non-defense gov ernment spending to the point where additional sums can be spent on defense with enough left over to make a possible tax cut. The Street calls attention in this respect to a statement in the current letter of the first National Bank of New York which says: "Reducing expenditures and taxes is the way to pare the na tional debt. Well-designed tax rate reductions encouraging peo ple to earn and report taxable income, rarely cost as much in revenue loss as they are calcu lated to do. Calls for Lower Taxes "It was the experience of the 1954 tax and expenditure reduc tions that lower taxes reinvigor ated the economy, rebalanced the budget, and stabilized the dollar. The experiment needs re peating." Postponing tax relief, the bank letter states, "is another way to give comfort to the Marxists." Wall Street generally would welcome tax relief, but the rank and file of traders, despite what the conservative experts say, hold that inflation is a thing that puts stocks up even if it never has been fully proved that stocks are a hedge against in flation.

Tahcl, 42, said that when he helped deliver his wife's third child, his nerves were kept un der control by his wife's sooth ing: "Keep calm, now, and take Only ment which a healthy child finds in a mischievous prank." For example, Redl said, most young children who are on the verge of misbehavior can be checked by diverting their atten tion to something else. But the "driven" child is likely to be "undivertable."

Main Conduct, invariably starts a large fire," as in the child who chronically flies into rages over trivial disap pointments. "Age-appropriaeness" is a third gauge of normal vs. neurotic conduct. It is normal for a 3-year-old to ignore the difference between fantasy and fact; it is not a trait which you expect to find in an 8-year-old. Similarly, it is normal for a boy in early adolescence to form intimate friendships with other boys "as a defense against being with girls in situations which cause him to panic." But you might begin to worry if unvary ing preference for male compan ionship persisted into the later teens. Children mature at different rates, and you should allow con siderable latitude in determin ing whether a child's conduct is appropriate to his age, Redl warned. He urged similar caution in applying the other tests.
