Wives Have Emotional Stake In Husbands' Drunkenness wife should feel that way, but the other wives weren't inter ested. The idea of "group psycho therapy" is to promote each member's insight into herself and her emotional drives by a thorough airing of the mutual problems of all members in this case, drunken hus bands. MacDonald said very little ""insight" was produced. MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York OR The psychological scientist who stirred a furor by proposing that the wives of some alcho lics have an emotional stake in their husbands' drunken ness, confesses that his first efforts to prepare such wives to live with sobered husbands didn't get very far. Donald E. MacDonald of the North Carolina state hospital at Butner was seeking to sober permanently a group of two-fisted drinkers by psy chological means. Once a week he gathered their wives around him to discuss just what they'd do if the treat ment worked. Technically, this is called "group psycho-therapy," and MacDonald's role was that of "group leader." The group first was disrupted by a wife who through session after ses sion, demanded that the lead er "prove that I want my hus band to drink." She had heard of MacDonald's theory. Later her husband caught her spiking his iced tea with whiskey. She said it was an "accident," but she never mentioned that at the group session for wives. There were 10 wives in all. Each monopolized at least one session by explaining in de tail why her husband was the worst drunk of the lot and why, -therefore, she was the wife who was having the un happiest time. "Some women came a few times apparently simply to demonstrate to themselves the futility of trying to do any thing about their situation, MacDonald reported to the Yale University Center of Studies on alcohol. "Others had a 'chip on the shoulder' defensiveness." Woman Becomes Dissatisfied One woman was frankly dissatisfied because her hus band was succeeding in leav ing drink alone. Her talk threatened "a complete dis ruption" but fortunately she stopped going to the meetings. MacDonald tried to get the other .wives to discuss why a i-i. 14 FrMjy, May 23, 7938 I ' '4 hk kainii '"r MEETING newsmen at his Beverly Hills, Calif, home, tt. Gen.

(International) Senate Group Set for Approval On Foreign Aid Bill Washington (IF) The Senate foreign relations com mittee prepared to stamp final approval Thursday on its own version of President Eisenhower's foreign aid bill. Prospects were good the Pres ident might get even more than he asked from the Sen ate group. But new storm clouds boil ed up in the house over actual funds for the aid prgoram. Although all decisions were tentative, the senate commit tee Thursday restored all of the 339 million dollars slash ed by the House from the President's original bill. It also okayed a House increase of eight million dollars for the "Point Four" program of technical assistance to for eign countries. The senators tentatively trimmed two million dollars from the millions asked by Eisenhower and voted by the house for administrative ex penses of the international co operation administration, which administers the aid pro gram. That left the Senate measure at a tentative total subject to possible revision Friday of $3,945,000,000. That was six million dollars more than the President's original request and 345 mil lion dollars more than the House voted. Harry Truman Opens Campaign Chicago (W Former President Truman Thursday night opened the Democrats' congressional campaign with a free-wheeling attack on the Republicans for "alienating our allies, stripping our na tional defense and puncturing world prosperity." The 74-year-old ex-President, although in a fighting mood, appeared to lack some of his customary zip in his address before 2,600 party faithful at a $100-a- plate fund-raising dinner. He called for the over whelming election of a Demo cratic congress to "save the country" from an administra tion that 'is dedicated to doing nothing at all or only half enough." Truman charged the Eisen hower administration is run ning the nation's foreign af fairs like an "overbearing banker with a glass-eye." On the home front, he said, the GOP has achieved both reces sion and inflation at the same time.
