10 A FRIDAY. APRIL S. 1863 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Difference Between Sexes in Dreaming Noted by Scientists Z3 Br DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York -TOPD- There is a difference between the sex es in dreaming. Men dream I mostly of oth- men but women divide ' their dream ( characters al- ; most evenly i between men and women. I Drs. Calvin iHall and Bill I D o m hoff of nfioi smith the Institute of Dream Research, Boston, found this out by analyzing 6,939 dreams which contained 11,153 characters and which were dreamed by 1,399 males and 1,418 females. In the 3,874 dreams of the males the dream performers were 84 per cent male. In the 3,065 dreams of the females, 48 per cent of the characters were clearly female and 52 per cent were male. Percentage - wise, that's a walloping difference and the scientists were even more im pressed by how consistently it held through all age groups and a variety of human races, I Some of the dreamers were only two years old. Others were as old as 80. Some of tbem were Hopi Indians and some were Yir Yoront abo rigines of Australia, Most of the dreamers were American whites in apparent physical and mental health. Only 15 were scientifically classified as neurotic. The scientists asked, "What Is the explanation?" There had to be a reason for this personal sex difference, for nothing can be more person ally individual than a dream. Practically everything psy chological science now knows about dreaming centers on the idea "that dreams are pri marily concerned with the preoccupations, anxieties, con flicts and unsatisfied wishes of the dreamer," Hall and Domhoff said in reporting to the American Psychological association. "We dream during the night as wc think during the day about our unresolved prob' lems If this i thp ratjn ihpn I iil.M flnHlnifa .ill, noil that tha VM1 ouba..o. in... unresolved problems of males center more around their re lationships with men than with women, and those of fe males arc focused upon their relationships with both sexes about equally." They went deeper into dream analysis by dividing dream contents into actions which involved the dreamers in aggressions against the characters of their dreams, and those in which the dream er was in wholly friendly re lationships with dream char acters. This showed that males in their dreams had a higher proportion of their aggressive conflicts with men than with women, whereas dreaming women divided their aggres sions almost evenly between men and women. And the re verse held the men were notably more friendly toward women in their dreams than toward men but women in friendliness didn't distinguish between the sexes. The scientists didn't inter pret this as a compliment for womankind, however. "Wom en dream about males and females with almost the same frequency because their rela tionships with both sexes arc equally conflictual," they said. ..... , . ,. , I L 18 X f- 1 WL -A. iH ! K 'M.

Communists Said In Birch Society Elizabeth City, N.C. - IUPI) - Mrs. Stella O'Neal, 20, gave birth to a son in a helicopter Thursday while being taken from a remote Coast Guard ' station to an inland hospital. Newton, Mass. - IUPH - The founder of the John Birch Society said Wednesday night Communists have infiltrated the ultra conservative organ ization but failed to control or disrupt it. "We have Communist infil trators, but we don't know how many, Robert Welch told 1,500 students at Boston College. The Communists, unlike their successes with some oth- organizations that fought them, have not been able to get inside the John Birch bo cicty to the extent that they cannot divide it into factions or divert is purposes by in ternal disputes," he said. Welch said the society's membership, .slowed down by what he termed "a vicious smear campaign in the leftist and liberal press and radio," was gaining momentum. It has chapters in 48 states, ex cluding Hawaii and Alaska, and eventually hopes to have one million members, he said. i!7" fmnm asu Z ......

OIPD A Ro man Catholic priest whose hobby is exploring caves has constructed an electronic de vice with which he can cor relate points underground with local surface topography. The priest, the Rev. Paul VVightman, O.M.I., teaches mathematics at St. Henry's Preparatory seminary here. Father Wiehtinan, 33, has been interested in caves since 1848 and has explored and mapped them throughout Monroe county, Illinois. Father Wightman recently completed an assignment for a Missouri cave operator who wants to build a fallout shel ter in his underground emporium. Lester B. Dill, of Meramec caverns, Stanton, Mo., wanted to locate spots in the cave for drilling escape hatches and air purification vents. Con ventional survey methods were tried but three shafts that were sunk failed to strike the cavern. Dill then asked Dr Albert J. Frank, associate professor of geology and geological en gineering at Saint Louis uni versity, to make the survey. Dr. Frank immediately thought of Father Wightman, who had just completed an electronic system of direction al radio transmitters and re ceivers for location of points on the surface corresponding to locutions underground. Fa ther Wightman and Dr. Frank then made the successful survey. Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall Syndicate, Inc. FIGHT OVER BANK REFORM A loud argument is now going on among America's sup posedly conservative, unchanging banks o-er the inequities, inconsistencies and inconveniences of our 100-year-old bank ing system - a system under which we have not only state and nationally-chartered banks but also regulations by the states and a wide variety of federal agencies. What's behind the fight? Here are some enlightening ob servations by Gabriel Haugc, a former economic adviser to President Eisenhower, now vice chairman and in July slated to become president of Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. of New York, the nation's fourth largest bank. Porter: What's right and wrong with our dual banking system? Hauge: Its great strength lies in the fact that it is a re flection of our basic political concept - a federation of states and a union of states. Dual banking grew up naturally as a result of that political structure. It offers a division of power and it encourages competition, for banks are free to change from one type of charter to another. The advantage of this is that it tends to keep both the national and state regulatory powers progressive. But it would be disastrous if the competing powers got to be rivals in laxity. As is now stands, we have a mixed system under which we get a variety of laws and regulations all the way from frustration to nazara. Porttr: Is this current controversy just a power fight between rival banking authorities or de we really need bank ing reforms? , Hauge: We need banking reform. Unquestionably. But this is an exceedingly complex matter. There are proposals at the state level and at the federal level. There are differ ences of opinion between the different federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice. A simple couple of sentences on "banking reform" would be impossible under the circumstances. Porter: These conflicts suggest no action by the Kennedy administration on bank reform soon, despite the loud talk? Hauge: In his January message to Congress, the President made no recommendations in this field - an indication that his advisers are finding the going rough in reconciling the conflicting viewpoints among the regulatory agencies. But debate on what should be done will start this year, I think. Porter: Would a central authority be more efficient? Hauge: It probably would be more efficient, but it would violate our political heritage. Moreover, state authorities have a much better feci for the needs in their own areas. Of course, there has to be some federal functioning in banking because money and credit arc central functions, and lately there has been a tendency to centralization of power at the federal level. Porter: What's a solution then? Hauge: Building an effective bridge of some kind be tween the federal authorities - which almost all state-chartered banks have to deal with under existing laws - and the state regulatory authorities. But even if we can achieve this arrive at some consensus at the federal level, there still will remain the question of the role of the Justice Department. I don't know how that can be resolved - perhaps by a series of court actions on maybe congressional action which would clarify the situation. Porter: Complex Indeed! On another subject of interest to millions, do you think that banks will reduce the rates they pay on savings? Many are finding it hard to maintainn their net earnings In view ot the higher rates they started paying on savings deposits in 1962. Hauge: Banks have made a great effort to live with this Increased expense and they're doing it pretty well. But if demands for loans don't pick up, there may have to be retrenchment. As of now, I don't see any sharp increase in loan demands, but they well might pick up if there is a tax cut and it stimulates the economy. Still, banks are going to have continued tight going in improving net earnings, and if gross revenues don't improve substantially, there almost inevitably will be serious reconsideration of some interest rates paid. Oil-Street Parking Nearer Reality in GP Grants Pass - The Grants Pass city council Wednesday night adopted legislation to make the development of off street parking a reality.
