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."

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

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

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

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.

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.
