Cigarette Smokers
Said To Be Less
Rigid Emotionally

By DELOS SMITH
UPI ScUnc Editor
New York - IUPI) - A new
statistical check-up on a single
phase of human behavior sug
gests men who
smoke cigar
ettes are more
, out-going, less
rigid emotion'
ally, but no
more neurotic
than men who
i d o n't smoke
anything.
The best
Ueioi omiui known of the
singlcphasc statistics are those
of Dr. Alfred Kinsey on sex
ual behavior. This one was on
smoking behavior and carries
the scientific prestige of its
author, Dr. H. J. Eysenck who
has an international reputa
tion in the science of psychol
ogy. He began with his own
much - discussed dimensional
theory of human personality
which he has been formulat
ing for some 20 years. Re
duced to ils nub, it holds that
many bchaviorial traits are
in-born - influenced, perhaps,
but not formed by environ
mental circumstances.
Among these traits arc
those of being extraverted
(out - going) or introverted
(turned inward on the self).
Mental rigidity and the emo
tional instabilities lumped
under the word, neurotic, have
inborn components, too, ac
cording to the plausibly argu
ed theory of Eysenck.
On this theoretic basis, he
figured extraverts should
smoke cigarettes in numbers
matching their degrees of ex
traversion, since extraverts

'Drag Racing'
Possible Cause of
Crash Killing 8
New Iberia, La. - (UPII - Po
lice said today "drag racing"
may have caused the four-car
crash, possibly the worst high
way accident in Louisiana his
tory, that killed eight persons
and injured two others so bad
ly one wasn't expected to sur
vive. It happened on n two-lane
stale highway just inside the
city limits Monday night. The
four cars were so badly man
gled that police at first
thought five cars were in
volved. What they first
thought wits two cars, turned
out to be one car cut In half.
Killed were the Rev. Doug
las Taylor, 28, a Pentecostal
minister from Tupelo, Miss.;
George Babineaux, 17; Alvin
Bodin, 18; and Bastiano La
Porte, all of New Iberia, and
four members of a Patoutville,
La., family, Aron Williams
Sr., and his three sons, Lloyd,
28, Roger, 26, and Aaron Jr.,

Patrick Henry, a teen-ager

Archie Alexander, 24, New
Iberia were injured: Henry
wasn't expected to live.
State police headquarters
In Baton Rouge said it is be
lieved to be the worst high

weren't sure what caused the

Romanian Congress
In Closed Session
Bucharest, Romania - IUPD -The
Romanian Communist
party congress met in closed
session today and unofficial
congress sources said Soviet
Premier Nlkila Khrushchev
probably would address the
meeting.
Western observers looked
to Khrushchev's speech to
shed light on his meetings
here with the top leaders of
the Communist nations.
Polish Communist party
chief Wladyslaw Gomulku
was expected to Join the
ranks of the satellite officials
Thursday.
Khrushchev has kept In the
background o( the congress
Communism's largest gather

meeting for private talks with
other Soviet bloc leaders.
Polio Patients To

National Guard C-47 will fly
to Downey, Calif., today and
return four Oregon polio pa

Two of the patients, a man
and a woman, are from Salem.

outside world." He reasoned
further the neurotic would
smoke more than the non
neurotic because "smoking
reduces the strength of an
aroused emotion."
As for the mentally rigid,
he based himself on "the fact
that smoking as indeed all
pleasurable activities, tends to
be regarded as slightly sinful,
and would therefore tend to
be shunned by the rigid, puri
tanically minded type of per
son." The next step was to prove
or disprove these ideas in
people. Toward that end, he
and his associates worked out
an elaborate questionnaire de
signed to draw from answerers
their degrees of extra-version,
introversion, neurotic imbal
ance, and rigidity of mind.
Answerers Divided
The answerers were divid
cd among heavy, medium and
light cigarette smokers, pipe
smokers, and non-smokers.
These divisions were sub
divided into age groups (40
to 59 and 60-70) occupations,
and social class. In all, some
2400 men answered. Our in
terest is in the results.
These hooked up cigarette
smoking with extraversion.
With less certainty, they con
nected non - smoking with
emotional rigidity. But Ihey
failed to show a link between
cigarette smoking and neu
rotic personalities. However,
they showed pipe smokers
were highly introverted, that
is, turned inward.
Eysenck said the results
demonstrated there are essen
tial inborn personality differ
ences "between smokers and
non - smokers, and between
cigarette smokers and pipe
smokers." Each is a "kind" of
person distinct from any of
the others.
Eysenck is a professor at
the Institute of Psychiatry in
London where the study was
made. The results were pub

Mutual Funds Expected To Be
S100 Billion Business by 1980
By ELMER C. WALZER
UPI Financial Editor
New York - IUPD -By 1980,
mutual funds could easily be
a $100 billion business, says
Arthur Wiescnberger, senior
partner of the New York
Stock Exchange firm that
bears his name.
To attain such growth, he
points out, would involve a
continuing compounded an
nual growth rate of 10 per
cent, against a 21 per cent
rate during the past five
years.
Mutual funds at the end of
1959 had aggregate assets of
$15,817,962,000 against $447,
959,000 in 1940, a rise of 3,
431 per cent in the past 20
years.
Wiescnberger brings out
these observations in the 20th
anniversary edition of "Invest
ment Companies 1960 Edi
tion.'.' The book a $25 job, is
regarded as the "bible of the
investment company industry.
Bull Market Credited
Wiescnberger admits that a
generous portion of the past
growth of mutual funds has
been due to the long bull
market in common slocks, and
he hastens to add that "it
cannot be expected that the
next two decades will dupli
cate the 400 per cent advance
Man Arraigned on
Morals Charge
Willard Cherclie St. Arnold,
47, of 349 West Pine St., Cen
tral Point, was arraigned in
Jackson county district court
Monday morning on a morals
charge, state police reported.
They stated that St. Ar
nold waived preliminary
hearing and was bound over
to the grand jury. Bail was
set at $2,500 and he was lodg
ed in the county jail.
Officers r eported that the
man was arrested in a field
across the railroad ' tracks
west of slate police headquarters.
In the Dow-Jones Industrial
average of the past 20 years,
which started at the low
level of 131 and reached 679
at the 1959 year-end.
"There will doubtless be
periods of declining prices
when mutual fund assets
growth will be slowed or tern
porarily reversed.
"But one lesson of the
fairly recent past has been
that times of falling stock
prices tend to attract the 'dis
illusioned' to mutual fund
ownership - the many inves
tors who had previously be
lieved they could obtain bet
ter results through their own
efforts."
If the mutual fund total
should rise from the current
$16 billion to $100 billion,
it would represent a spurt of
6,150 per cent.
And, if the valuation of
listed stocks rose in propor
tion - which no one antici
pates - it would reach the
staggering total of 18 tril
lion dollars or 62V4 times the
current figure of around $300
billion.
Lockheed Strike
Settlement Fades
Los Angeles (UPU - Negotia
tions between Lockheed mis
siles and space division and
striking machinists resumed
today, but chances of a hoped
for early settlement dwindled
because union members booed
down the company's wage of
fer.
The strike of some 10,000
machinists against Lockheed
was the only unsettled labor
troubles In the missile-aircraft
Industry. Two other prime de
fense contractors settled with
the machinists late last week.
The International Associa
tion of Machinists Monday
night at mass meetings in Sun
nyvale and Burbank, Calif.,
rejected a previously undis
closed offer from Lockheed.
Mutual funds are what the
market calls open-end invest
ment companies. An invest
ment company sells its stock
to the public and invests the
proceeds in stocks or bonds
or both. If it has a fixed num
ber of shares, it is called
closed-end company. These
usually are traded on regular
markets.
Open-end investment com
panies sell their stock stead
ily and stand ready to redeem
it at the going value of their
portfolio.
Closed-end companies have
grown by 177 per cent over
the past 20 years and now
aggregate $1,697,463,000 in
assets.
Both the types of invest
ment companies maintain
close supervision over their
portfolios. They buy and sell
stocks after careful research
Over the years a group of
favorite issues stands out. At
the end of 1959, there were
10 favorites in which invest
ment companies held $2 bil
lion, or nine per cent of their
total assets.
The favorite ten In the or
der of their demand were In
ternational Business Ma
chines, U. S. Steel, Texaco,
Du Pont, Goodyear, Interna
tional Paper, General Electric,
Standard Oil N. J., General
Motors, and Ford.
