Some dogs and some Siamese cats I will not even approach be cause I can see that they do not want anyone to touch them. Sometimes,' when I talk lo the owner of an unpleasant animal he will say, "You may be interested to know that the breeder who sold him to me, told me he came of stock in which there were many shy or fearful or unpleasant ani mals." I, myself, once bought a cat like that, and later had to give her away because I could never make friends with her, and she was always scratching me badly. A cat breeder who looked at her pedigree said, "Oh, yes; she comes of a line of unpleasant cats; I know them." The next cat I got, a lovely Persian, had such a sweet loving dis position she would never have thought of scratching me or anyone else. It is much the same way with the apes: some are friend ly and always seeking affec tion, while others are shy or unfriendly, and after a few years some become so bad tempered as to be dangerous. That such differences in tem perament can be hereditary has been shown by breeders. I once knew of a man who had a Bassett bitch who was particularly shy, fearful and unfriendly. He bred her to several dogs and kept a rec ord of the temperament of all her puppies. He found that a goodly percentage of these pups were shy and unfriendly-just like the mother. The others, although brought up in the same basket, were play ful and friendly; they hadn't inherited their mother's bad traits. Sees Same Thing Among many of my pati ents' familes. I see the same thing. I see, perhaps, a mean, violent, alcoholic father and a sweet mother who have, let us say, five children, all brought up in the same home. A psychiatrist may s a y; "Look; two of them are good-for-nothing alcoholics; see what a bad home will 'n for a-child." But 1 say: "Hold on a minute; you are closing your eyes to two facts. One is that the two bad offspring look like chips off the old block; and the other is that here are three offspring, now adults, who in spite of the fact that they grew up in a hellish home, are lovely, well adjusted and successful per sons, just like their mother and her fine people." Sometimes I will show one of my friends, an able psychia trist, a family in which three fine and able children were neglected, "rejected" and left by their parents largely to bring themselves up, and to work their way through Pchool. The parents spent all their money, and lavished all their affection on one mental ly retarded or problem child. According to all I read in psy chiatric literature, those three rejected children should now be in serious mental trouble, but so far a I e . um o are fine, sane, well-adjusted and successful people. Ask them about their rejection in childhood, and they will say, "Oh, we understood that; and we never blamed our folks; it seemed so natural that they should give everything they had to try to make something of their one lame duckling." Fine Human Being When people tell me that a hard environment is every thing and heredity is noth ing, I like to tell them of the friendly and merry and unusually well-adjusted vio linist whom I once had as a patient. He was a line hu man being. He told me that one night in Germany some Nazis broke into his home; they kicked his mother and father to death; they raped his sister; and then they kick ed him around until they were satisfied he was dead. Friends hid him until he recovered, and then he suffered terribly from lack of money and food as he slowly made his way through Switzerland, Portu gal, Venezuela, Central Amer ica, and finally, into the Unit ed States. He should have been terribly scarred mental ly by his experiences, but, so far as I could see, he wasn't scarred at all: I imagine be cause he had been born with excellent materials in him. He could "take it." Those "hunger pains" you've been experiencing may be an ulcer crying out for treat ment. Never ignore a symp tom of any nature-see your doctor. For information about ulcers and their treatment, read "Ulcers of the Stomach and Duodenum" by Dr. Al varez. It may be obtained by sending 25 cents and a large, stamped, self-addressed enve lope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept.

Building Damaged At Albany Center Albany-OIPIl-Fire destroyed the roof of an Albany Metal lurgy Research Center office building Saturday night. Dam age was estimated at $15,000. The building was formerly a dormitory at the now de funct Albany College. Fire officials said the blaze at the four-story brick struc ture, which holds about 50 office rooms, probably began due to faulty wiring in the attic.

Dental Services Declared Legal Salem - IUHI - Atty Gen. Robert Y. Thornton has ruled Dental Services, Inc., of Port land legal, reversing a Dec. 5 opinion. Thornton's office earlier ruled that Dental Services, which offers group and indi vidual dental health plans to its members, was a corpora tion illegally engaged in prac ticing dentistry. In the latest opinion, Thorn ton said Dental Services "is a validly incorporated hospi tal association and is author ized to furnish dental services to its members by contracting with licensed dentists of the state of Oregon for the per formances of these services." Thornton said he was re versing an opinion written by a subordinate.

Railroad Tells of Bankruptcy Threat Washington - IUP1I - The na tion's railroads said Monday they will face bankruptcy un less so-called "feather bed ding" work practices are elim inated from union-negotiated contracts. The statement was made by Howard Neitzert, special coun sel for the carriers al the open ing of hearings by the Presi dential Railroad Commission on proposals to revamp work rules. The unions are vigorously resisting major charges. "Complete insolvency can be avoided only by eliminat ing unwarranted and unjusti fied operating costs," Neitzerl said.

Each of them will go through the modern "manhood ritual" of registering for the draft. But barring some interna tional cataclysm that requires an all-out U. S. mobilization not one of them will actually be drafted into the armed forces for at least four years. The present average age of induction is 23. The age may vary from one local board to another by as much as 2 or 3 months. "But we are not taking any one under 22 involuntarily," a a Selective Service spokesman said. Thousands of teen - age youths do enter the armed forces each year.- But they do so on their own lniuauve, choosing to discharge their military obligation by volun tary enlistment rather than wait to be drafted in their twenties. Age Level Rising As long as the aimed serv ices remain at their present size, the age at which men are liable to involuntary induc tion is extremely unlikely to fall below 23. On the con- Kennedy Submits Jobless Pay Plan Washington -lUI'll- President Kennedy submitted to Con gress Monday detailed propos als to extend unemployment compensation benefits and provide federal aid for needy children of out-of-work par ents. Kennedy requested swift enactment of the measures in letters to Vice President Lyn don B. Johnson and House Speaker Sam Rayburn. His re quest was accompanied by suggested drafts of the legisla tion and supporting state ments by the secretaries of La bor, and Health, Education and Welfare. Kennedy previously had an nounced his intention lo take this action as part of a broad- scale federal effort to relieve the impact of the current recession. trary, it is likely to rise slow ly over the next few years. In filling their quotas, draft boards tap the oldest men available in the pool of eligi bles. 1 the manpower pool is growing, as it is and will con tinue to do, the age at which men get summonded tends to grow steadily higher. Previous experience indi cates that approximately half of this year's crop of 18-year- olds will mentally and physi cally qualified for military service. That means that about 700,000 men will be added to the manpower pool. But the number of men en tering the armed forces by induction or voluntary enlist ment will be only about 500,-000. Scratch another 50,000 for miscellaneous exemptions and deferments, and you have a net increment of about 150,- 000 a year for the manpower pool. Does this mean that a young man who sits it out has a good chance of avoiding the draft altogether? Fathers May Escape 1 he official answer is that "virtually no non - fathers, qualified and available for service, are likely to escape their service obligation dur ing the next few years. There are some important I qualifying words in that sen tence. Under current Selective Service regulations, fathers automatically go into a special category, lo be drafted only if the pool of eligible non fathers has been exhausted Since there is no likelihood of that happening, the prac tical effect is to make fathers draft-proof. Also, as indicated above, roughly half of the young men in the draft age groups are disqualified for military service under the rigorous high standards now enforced by the armed forces. Because they have an abun dance of manpower lo draw on, draft boards also are quite liberal about granting repeat ed deferments which ultim ately amount to draft exemp tion for men who pursue ad vanced studies in higher edu cation, or who enter careers in teaching, science, engineer ing, or othr fields, regarded as vital lo national security. ,uu "'st0'" y v--...,.,.,, . . iT-'fviirirlitH'i'iitf - ni-inin-amiiiiiiiiiiini iiiinrniifiiir GET THE mm WHEELS WITH THE DODGE Sr. SiKVw on top Do you prefer a compact car or a full-size car?
