Certain Amount of Unreality Must Exist, Sociologist Claims BY DELOS SMITH United Preit Science Editor New York IP! Those experts who preach that the very essence of mental health is knowing 1"-'' VTK'sETl reality when you see it and and rejecting all things which are not equal, have been challeng by an expert of another stripe. Dr. Claude Deloi Smith C. Bowman, of Temple University, admitted he was no mental health expert although he is a sociologist and anthropologist. Various psychiatric ideas of mental health to the contrary, a certain amount of unreality just has to exist in mental processes if minds are going to be healthy and have high morale, said Bow man. Unreality If Reality Indeed, unreality is the reality of every day life as most of us know it, he continued, and call ed the attention of scientific reality proponents to their own (and Bowman's) little world, which is the world of scholar ship. "As subject-matter in various fields of knowledge has broken down into more specialties, schol ars tend to concentrate upon knowing more and more about less and less," he said. "Under these circumstances it is easy, and perhaps necessary to over value the particular segment of knowledge where one's own pro ficiency lies. "Such over evaluation seems integral to professional adjust ment in the academic world as it exists. In short, academic people "like other practical men of affairs, accept the reality principle only so far as it is practical to do so." But take love, he said. It is "fashionable" for scientific ex perts to "decry romantic illusions such as,, "Love is blind," and urge a more realistic point of view." 'Realism' Doesn't Understand But this "realism" fails to un derstand that love is loaded with unrealities. Nor are these "ele- many instances they are distinct ly advantageous to both per sons." Furthermore the m e n t a lly healthy "tend to be somewhat unrealistic about good friends, thinking the best of them and criticizing those who criticize them. Bowman addressed himself di rectly to the psychiatric science, which contains most of the strict adherents to "the reality princi ple," through the technical jour nal of the American Psychiatric Association. He was not in agree ment, he said most flatly, "with those who believe that good men tal health must be based upon re alistic conceptions of environ ments necessarily harmful; intment and self."

OPKIFI An el derly hospital patient was criti cally burned Tuesday night when he apparently struck a match under his oxygen tent. Hospital officials identified the man as Luther Brazil, 71, who was under treatment for pneu monia and a heart ailment. By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York W) It may be a true symbol of our shaky-tense age, a time when every man seems bent on mooning around in exploration of the outer spaces of his own mind, that a new comedy team has estab lished itself in the everyday world of the common joke. The team consists of the psy chiatrist and his patient, plus the standard props of psychia trist's couch and notebook. The combo sometimes v a r i e s pa tient and patient; or doctor and doctor but the basic idea is the same. Simple. If Not Pure That great old workhorse joke team, Pat and Mike, whose do ings and sayings were simple, if not always too pure, has just about ended its orbiting. The mother-in-law and son-in-law team, a hardy fact of life, seems a bit worn in its routine. The traveling salesman, in person, has been disappearing from the American scene during the last generation and so, na turally, have the jokes about him and the farmer's daughter. But the psychiatrist is having a heyday from the simple ex change of greetings to the long and winding story. The simple exchange may be J.

Second patient (musing): "Now, what did he mean my that?" Or it may be doctor-to-doctor. Two psychiatrists meet, and one opens the conversation: "Hello. You're fine; how'm I?" Slopped Into Goldwynism The thing has, logically enough, slopped over into the field of the simple Goldwynism. Sam Goldwyn is alleged to have said: "Anybody who would go to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined." And then, there is the young lady whose family urged her to go to a psychiatrist because she liked pancakes. She plopped onto the couch. Psychiatrist: "Now tell me Officers Seeking Youth Suspected Of Killing Child Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. (IP) -Authorities said today a gun - wielding teen-aged boy, sought as the suspected slayer of a 22-month-old girl, may be try ing to flee to Florida. Police and sheriff's deputies said John Lawrence Larry Mil ler, 15, a fugitive from a Whit tier, Cailf., reform school, ap parently had escaped a local dragnet after the strangulation death of little Laura Helen Wetzel. Authorities Alerted Authorities in Nevada, Ari zona and parts of California were alerted to be on the lookout for the youth, who probably still is carrying a knife and tiny .22 caliber French automatic pistol. Deputies said they had learned he recently told friends he might go to Miami. Fla., to see relatives. At the same time, the youth's stunned father, Harold Miller of nearby Long Beach, issued an impassioned plea to oficers to "Catch my boy before anyone else gets hurt.' ' The body of the victim was found in an empty next-door house Monday shortly after the young suspect, reportedly armed with a knife and gun, menaced Laura's mother, Mrs. Charles W. Wetzel, and neighbors and then fled into surrounding hills. 'Positively' Identifed Sheriffs detectives said Mil ler has been identified "positive ly" as the killer suspect through fingerprints found in the murder house and photographs of the boy shown to neighbors who- saw the youth flee from the scene of the slaying. Miller escaped from the Fred C. Nelles school for boys Sunday night. He had been serving a term in the refrom school for auto theft. The victim's father is an Air Force officer. The Wetzels are the parents of three other children. Legislators Limited On Special Services Salem HP) A member of the Legislative Assembly is not eligible to serve as a paid em ployee of a legislative interim committee. That was the opinion today of Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton who said that the con stitutional provision fixing salaries and expenses of mem bers of the Legislature limits their compensation for any service they may perform. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport about yourself.". Girl: "My folks say I should see you because I like pan cakes." Psychiatrist: "Because you like pancakes." Girl: "Yes. I'm quite fond of them." Psychiatrist: "Look, my dear. That's perfectly natural. Almost everybody likes pancakes. I like them very much myself." Girl "Well! You must come to my house. I've got 500 trunks full." Sometimes the theme goes into a proud-parent routine. One lady meets another: "I must tell you what a wonderful son I have! Twice a week he goes to this head-doctor; and he pays $50 an hour, and he lies there on a couch and all he does is talk about me." Governors Discuss NW Freight Rates - Salem (t? Govs. "Albert Rosellini of Washington and Robert D. Holmes of Oregon got together here this afternoon to lay the groundwork for joint action against discriminatory freight rates in the Northwest. Holmes said he invited the Washington chief executive to Oregon after his development tour of Oregon in September convinced him that east-west interstate freight rate discrimi nations were major obstructions to the state's economic and in dustrial development. "Gov. Rosellini and I hope, through this conference," Gov. Holmes said, "to initiate joint action before the Interstate Com merce Commission and if neces sary, in the federal courts, to secure the removal of discrimi nations against the West which have grown up during the past 10 years through percentage freight rate increases applied 'across the board' by the ICC." The governor said ending the discrimination would be a "great boon" to economic and indus trial development of both states. Young Hit-Run Victim Succumbs in Portland Portland HP) A hit-run victim, Elizabeth Ann Dietz, 17, died in a hospital Tuesday. The Woodrow Wilson high school student was struck by a car Nov. 1.
