However, continued Dr Richard Asher, "speed and complexity," are not the same as "stress and strain." An Old Problem "Cavemen probably suffer ed as much strain over the problem of choosing the right cave as business men suffer today over choosing the right stocks," he said in lecturing a scientific audience in Lon don. , Tension, to him, is a vague word." But if there has been any increase in "ten sion" due to modern living it "is more apparent than real. Under different names, it has troubled men for centuries.' The difference now is that publicity has made it "respec table." His refernce was to the tranquilizing drugs. "If there is any real increase in tension it may well be the result of tranquilizers because their withdrawal encourages the symptoms to develop," he said. Talk About Troubles Tranquility can also be pro duced by massage, by heat, by "appropriate sights and sounds." There are many means of producing it, but it is "more logical to quieten a mind directly than by stupe fying its physical casing." The technique for that is psychotherapy. He said he Which is Which?

CHRISTENSEN 601 East Main St. Phone SP 2-9169 Too Much, ints Out had applied it to a young man and had been thanked for it by the young; man's fa ther in these words: "I think it's done him a lot of good being able to tell aill his trou bles to someone. When I was his age, I used to tell all my troubles to a larj;e rubber duck, and it seemed a great help. I suppose you're much the same sort of thing." This, said 'the eminent doc tor, had made him feel "ra ther small"; it wan "humb ling" but it also was "en lightening." Tranquilizing psy chotherapy is not applied sim ply by listening. "The doctor, however effective a rubber duck he may be, has to emit arl occasional quack." Necessary At Times Like tranquilizing, stimula tion can be achievd by a number of means drugs, cold baths, and such psycholo gical things as music and con versation. But "one man's sedative, and like tranquiliz ing drugs, stimulating" drugs "should be used only to tide a patient through a critical phase, not as a permanent re quirement like insulin' for a diabetic." "He granted that "stirriulants are necessary to savorr the humdrum and to enliven the drab. But they must ba used sparingly. Over - stimulated senses are less perceptive." Turkish Coffee Is Becoming Legend Because of By MERYEM ABIGADOL Istanbul, Turkey (UPI) In the bazaars and casbahs of the east, Turkish coffee is a legend. Alas, it may soon be only a fable. Turkey is running out of coffee. This is quite a blow, since the day used to begin with a cup of sweet, foaming, Turk ish coffee for the merchants crowding the bazaars of Is tanbul. Lqvingly prepared and with the proper quantity of sugar added, it chased the clouds away and cleared their mimjls for the day's complicated transactions. But now it appears they will have to conduct their business without sipping their favorite brew because coffee does not grow in Turkey. Must Be Imported The 8,400 tons of coffee con sumed by the Turks each year all had to be imported, mostly from Brazil. The Turks, very exacting when it comes to their favorite beverage, found that African coffee did not contain enough caffeine. The coffee from Yemen, consid- Ordnance Experts Resume Search Middletown, N. J.-(UPI) Thirty ordnance experts to day resumed searching the wreckage from , last Thurs day's Nike-Ajax missiles ex plosion that killed six soldiers and four civilians. An Army spokesman Sun day denied reports that the "triggering mechanism" of one of the missiles had been found. , A public information cap tain at Ft. Wadsworth said, "we have no confirmation of that (finding the mechanism). And we haven't heard from the site as -to whether they have found anything else in the way of explosives or trig gering mechanisms." The statement was issued to squelch unconfirmed reports that an important fragment had been found which would provide an insight into the causes of the blast. Man Perishes When He Calls Firemen Portland (UPI) A man perished .early Sunday in his home here while calling the fire department to say that his house was on fire. John J. Atkins, 73, was found dead at the kitchen table amid charred ruins. A telephone with the instru ment removed from the cradle was-in front of Atkins on the table. The cord was wrapped around ' one wrist. Atkins had been alone in the house. Deputy Multnomah county coroner Paul Haslinger said death ' could haVe resulted either from asphyxiation or a severe burn. The fire which caused j S5.500 damage resulted from j smoker's carelessness, firemen j said.

Negotiations End With No Settlement Seattle (UPI) Negotia tions between striking Team sters Local 174 and the North west Produce Association and Distributors' Association end ed Saturday with no settle ment of the labor dispute in sight. - Federal mediator James MacPherson said the week end meeting was unsuccessful and no further sessions were scheduled. .Local 174 went out on strike last Monday, shortly after the Warehouse Drivers and Helpers Union had settled its strike with the produce association. Eugene Man's Plane Crashes on Trip Reedsport, Ore. (UPI) A private airplane advertising Salmon Harbor Fleet Days at nearby Winchester Bay was wrecked about 12 miles north of Susanville, Calif., Satur day, word received here said No one was hurt. The Pilot was Warren Schisler, Eugene city councilman. Passengers were Harry Ludwig, Reeds port, manager of the Salmon Harbor sports fishing facility; Howard Lichty, Reedsport, and Ray Brandow, Winches ter Bay. The Fleet Days observance will be held June 20-22. Expense ered the best-suited for foam ing Turkish coffee, was too expensive. . But with Brazil demanding payment in cash for its coffee and the Turks needing scarce foreign exchange to purchase capital goods and other essen tials for .the industrialization and modernization programs of the country, it became in creasingly more difficult to obtain import licenses. Many true coffee addicts resorted to buying their cof fee on the black market at prices ranging from $8 to $11 a pound. Switch to Tea The government soon stepped in to stop the smug gling. Now that all further im ports have been suspended, some Turks are switching from coffee to tea, which is grown in Turkey. Others re sort to a synthetic, coffee-like product they have named "pleasure." This is not the first time coffee imports have been banned in Turkey. In the early 17th century, a coffee shop owner in Istanbul accidentally started a fire which destroyed one-fifth of the city. The sultan, Mur at the Fourth, thereupon ordered all coffee houses the meeting places of the literary world to be closed. He also destroyed and banned all further im-' ports of coffee. Shop Owners Taxed The ban had to be lifted after a short while because coffee, once the; drink of a select few, had already be come the favorite drinks of all Turks. And it was a source of considerable in come for the government which collected two gold coins daily in taxes from coffee shop owners. Remembering what hap pened then, the descendants of the men who coined the phrase, "A cup of coffee is not forgotten for 40 years," are now hoping their government will not permit the taste of coffee to become a mere mem ory for 40 years. mm neptune REIGNS AT CHARLESTON where COOS BAY MEETS THE SEA CHARLESTON DAYS May 30, 31 - June 1 .

Top Steelmen Believe Steel Price Will Rise Because of Wage Boost Cleveland, Ohio (UPI) Several top steelmen believe steel prices will go up as a re sult of automatic wage boosts due steelworkers in July, Steel magazine said today. The magazine said Charles M. White, board chairman of Republic Steel Corp., expects Market Men Are Taking Inventory Of Performance New York (UPI) With only a few days left in May, market men are taking inven tory of the list's performance and . possibilities. The market is down a lit tle more than . eight per cent in the indus trial average and down about 21 per cent" in the rails from the e v e 1 s of a year ago. , Last year Elmer Walzer the market was in a rise that carried through to July 12 and the industrial average all but set a record high missed it by 28-100th point. The market has been in a rise so far this month a month when, past history shows the prospect' of a gain or loss for the list , is about a draw. Gains Equal Losses The same holds true for the month of June. In the past gains and losses for that month have been about even ly divided. Last year the industrial average reached 520.77 on July 12. It turned down and by Oct. 22 the average had lost just about exactly 100 points from its high. This year the rise set in after Feb. 25 for the indus trials. Rails and utilities set their 1958 lows on Jan. 2, the first trading day of the year. This year the business sta tistics are far less favorable for the rise to continue as it did in 1957, market experts assert. Some of them are getting bearish. Many continue bull ish, s . There are a lot of bears among the trading element who are betting high stakes there will be a big decline in the not distant future. . Short Interest High The short interest is the second highest on record To Wall Street, the short interest represents two things a vote of a lack of confi dence by a lot of people for one thing, and secondly, the short position represents just that much potential buying when sometime in the future .the shorts decide to cover their commitments. These bears have great for titude, say the market men. They just haven't been fright ened by rising prices except in a few instances. Those who have the idea that a big short interest pre cludes a decline of broad pro portions are hit by the sta tistic showing that the list has been known to decline as much as 50- per cent in the face of the highest recorded number of short positions.

Gray, president of Armco Steel Corp., thinks the price hike is "inevitable," while Avery C. Adams, presi dent of Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp., believes the hike is justified. Arthur B. Homer, Bethlehem Steel Corp. presi dent, says, "We'd just have to raise prices if wages increase." The metalworking weekly said it's believed that Detroit's big three will close their plants from one to three months earlier than usual in order to prepare for produc tion of 1959 models. Economy Recovering It said general Motors probably will start closing its assembly plants in July; Chrysler will go dawn in late July or early August, and Ford will follow in Septem ber. The magazine predicted the United Auto Workers union will be notified not to strike even if present contracts are allowed to expire. According to the magazine, the industrial recovery is gaining momentum. For the first time in 41 weeks with the exception of the post Christmas period every seg ment of the magazine's indus-' trial production index in creased from the previous week's reading. Steel Output Rising Steel said the combined ef fect of improvement in steel output, electric power output, freight carloadings, and auto assemblies raised the index three points to a preliminary 125 4or the week ended May 17. The index is based on a figure of 100 for 1947-49. The magazine said it was the third consecutive rise and marked the highest level in seven weeks. A year ago, the index stood at 152. The magazine said' steel output rose for the fourth consecutive week. The oper ating rate last week jumped three points to 54.5 per cent of capacity the highest level of production since March 2. The output was 1,470000 net tons of steel for ingots and castings. - , According to the magazine, the higher rate of production is the result of gains in de mand for construction prod uces and scattered improve ments in miscellaneous buy ing.

Customers Hedging It also said some customers are hedging against a possible price increase on July 1. The magazine said that if operations continue at the present rate, May production will reach six million tons and the June output will top May figures by two or three per cent. However, market analysts are less optimistic about July because of the predicted start of the automakers shutdown, slow consumption in other in dustries due to vacations, and the fact customers who bought heavily in .June as a hedge against higher prices will be out of the market during July. - ONE FOR THE ROAD Bentwaters, England (UPI) It will be good cheer and plenty of it this Whitsun holi day for Bill Brownlow, a road man " with the ' local county council here.
