Animals Temperamentally
Different As Men
And Women Are
When I hear a psychiatrist
saying that there is nothing
to heredity, and hence when

zees.
a lad is shy,
fear ful, un
friendiy, or
delinquent it
must be be
cause lie suf
fered sexual
injuries as a
child, I wish
the doctor
knew some
thing about
and cats and chimpan-
1 love animals and so
they usually take to me in
stantly, but every so often I
meet a dog or cat who just
will not make friends. 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,

Building Damaged
At Albany Center
Albany-OIPIl-Fire destroyed
the roof of an Albany Metal

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

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

Railroad Tells of
Bankruptcy Threat
Washington - IUP1I - The na

they will face bankruptcy un
less so-called "feather bed

contracts.
The statement was made by
Howard Neitzert, special coun

ing of hearings by the Presi
dential Railroad Commission

rules.
The unions are vigorously
resisting major charges.
"Complete insolvency can
be avoided only by eliminat

said. He added that out dated
work rules cost at least $600
million a year, equal to the
current annual net income of
all Class I railroads.

1,420,000 Youths
Will Register for
Draft During 1961
Washington-ll'Pll - About 1,
420.000 American boys will
celebrate their 18th birthdays
in 1981.
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.
