Concord, N.H (UPIl From
the eolrf denarius to the mod'
em dollar, man and his
money have almost always
been parted by the simple
prospect of a lot-tor-a-little.
Ancient civilizations, in
cludina the Roman and other
earlier ones, recognized man's
willingness to bet. The lottery
is as old as that.
It Ls not too surprising
therefore, and certainly not
uniaue. that one of the SO
Accident Causes
Power Outage in
Hamrick Rd. Area
Two automobile accidents
Involving Pacific Power and
Light company poles were in
vestigated by valley police
Tuesday.
One on Hamrick rd. about
9 p.m. caused a power out
age to about 4S0 customers
in the area.
According to state police,
the power pole was sheared
off when hit by a car operated
by Donald Lee Twedell, 17,
of Central Point. The car was
southbound on Hamrick rd.
when the driver lost control
of it, hitting the pole, officers
. said. .
Twedell, who had 'several
teeth knocked out in the im
pact, was taken to Crater
f Osteopathic hospital by his
parents.
Power Is Restored
I PP & L officials said the
1 majority of the customers had
: electricity restored within the I
f hour, but about 20 customers
' closest to the accident were
:' without electricity for about
1V4 hours.
. A power pole near 'the in

sts. was not damaged when it
, was hit by a vehicle about 2

states has decided to set up
a public sweepstakes to raise
needed revenue,
What is surprising is that
the slate is New Hampshire,
a conservative Yankee region
that is predominantly of Pro
testant faiths whose clergy.
men are strongly opposed to
gambling.
Lotlery Opposed
The sweepstakes approved
by the New Hampshire legis
lature and signed into law by
Gov. John W. King April 30
is the first public sanctioned
lottery in the United States
in this century. The last one
was in 1890 In Louisiana and
it folded after two years in
a welter of corruption.
King, a Roman Catholic
and the first Democratic gov
ernor here in 40 years, has
vowed this will not happen
to New Hampshire.
Here is how this state's
sweepstakes would work:
Tickets would be $3 each
with a limit on the number to
be sold any one person. There
would be two races annually
to be run at one of the state's
three race tracks. The prize in
each race would probably be
about 150,000. The proceeds,
estimated at between $4 mil
lion and $8 million annually,
would be used solely for edu
cation and could be distribut
ed to local communities.
No Sales Tex
What does the sweepstakes
mean to the New Hampshire
resident? If revenue estimates
are accurate, nis properly
taxes, now very moderate,
will dip even further. There
Police Investigate
Prospect Burglary
State police are investigat
ing the burglary of Mill
Creek Falls cafe at Prospect
and the attempted burglary
of Cove Motor company Fly
ing A service station at Shady
Cove.
Thieves took approximately
$90 in cash from a cash reg
ister and Juke box in the cafe
some time between midnight
Monday and 3:15 a.m. Tues
day. They entered by prying
a rear door, police said.
Thieves attempted to pry
the front door of the service
station In Shady Cove, but
were unable to gain entry,
state police said. The two in
cidents may be related, they
added.
are no sales taxes or Income
taxes in New Hampshire. The
state relies heavily on reve
nue from liquor sales, cigar
ettes and racing to finance its
operations. Much of this
money comes from out-of-state.
King must appoint a com
mission to work out the de
tails of the lottery and this
task promises to be extreme
ly difficult. Enactment of the
sweepstakes into law opened
up a trunk of troubles
that will take months to
straighten out.
Here are the main diffi
culties: The Protestant clergy, a
powerful force in the state, is
mounting a vast campaign
aimed at forcing repeal of the
law.
The Federal government
has pointed out a myriad of
laws which if obeyed would
keep every New Hampshire
sweepstake ticket within the
state's boundaries.
The state must find some
way to deal with counterfeit
lottery tickets and racketeer
ing. 1
Voters Must Approve
The earliest the sweep
stakes can get under way is
next year because of a local
option section in the enabling
act. The tickets can only be
sold in New Hampshire's 49
state-operated liquor stores or
at the three racetracks. But
the sale of tickets in any of
these places is subject to ap
proval of the voters in the
community where the store
or race track is located.
The Protestant clergy, led
by the Rev. Hartley T. Gran
din, executive secretary of the
New Hampshire Council of
Churches, may try to cripple
the sweepstakes through a
pulpit campaign designed to
take advantage of the local
option provison.
"You can bet we aren't
going to take this sitting
down," the Rev. Mr. Grandin
said. "This fight has just be
gun and we plan a strong
comeback."
Perhaps the federal govern
ment may prove to be an
even greater roadblock in the
path of the sweepstakes than
will those who object on
moral grounds.
Banned by Mails
It was immediately pointed
out that no lottery tickets can
be sent legally through the
mails. Neither can New
Hampshire use the mails to
advertise the sweepstakes or
notify winners.
It is also a federal offense
to carry a lottery ticket, sold
or unsold, across a state line.
Thus, under the law, no lot
tery tickets may leave New
Hampshire.
Obviously, this would be
difficult if not impossible to
enforce and that is why the
state and the U.S. justice de
partment are destined for
many more discussions.
Attorney Joseph A. Milli
met, legislative counsel to
Gov. King, talked with fed
eral officials before the gov
ernor's decision to sign the
bill.
Milllmet says it may be ne
cessary to establish deposi
tories of some type in the
state so visitors who purchase
tickets can then leave their
tickets in New Hampshire to
avoid violating any federal
laws when returning to their
homes. .
Repository Planned
Informed sources here be
lieve some type of depository
will be established to satisfy
the letter of the federal law.
The state then cannot be ac
cused of being a party to law-
Religion in America
Real Meaning for Existence
Believed Man's Deepest Need
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
For half a century, Freud
ian psychiatry has tried to in
terpret human life in terms
of the instinctive drives which
man shares with the beasts.
Now a new school of psy
chiatry has arisen in Vienna.
In a strange echo of words
that Jesus spoke 2,000 years
ago, it is saying that man does
not live by bread alone . . .
that his deepest need is not
to achieve sexual fulfillment
but to find an authentic mean
ing for his existence.
This new school of psychi
atry, which takes man's spir
itual nature seriously, is
known as "logothcraphy." Its
founder and chief apostle is
Dr. Viktor E. Frankl, profes
sor of psychiatry at the Uni
versity of Vienna, and presi
dent of the Austrian Medical
Society for Psychotherapy.
A layman's introduction to
Dr. Frankl'a thinking is now
available in the form of a
paperback book entitled
"Man's Search for Meaning."
It begins with a vivid auto
biographical account of Dr.
Frankl's experiences as pris
oner No. 119,104 in the Nazi
concentration camp at Ausch
witz. It was there, in the
shadow, of the gas ovens that
his wife, father, mother and
brother died, that the Vien
nese psychiatrist came to ap
preciate the phil osopher
Nietzsche's words: "He who
has a why to live for can bear
with almost any how."
Survived Auschwits
Dr. Frankl survived. Ausch
witz because he discovered
that life always has meaning,
even when it seems to be
bounded on all sides by suf
fering. Nor ls this meaning some
thing which man invents to

self-constructed carrot on the
slick of existence.
"If the meaning that is wait
ing to be fulfilled by man
were really nothing more
than a projection of his wish
ful thinking," says Dr.
Frankl, "it would immediate
ly lose its demanding and
challanging Chirac ter. It
could not longer call man
forth or summon man.
"he meaning of our exist
ence Is not invented by our
selves, but rather detected."
Since Dr. Frankl is writing
a book of psychiatry rather
than religion, he does not
argue about what name
should be applied to the Ulti
mate Source of the meaning
which man "detects" in his
existence. Dut his own name
for it is God, a word which
he uses often and unashamed
ly in his phychiatric texts.
Avoids Abstractions
He avoids any attempt to
express the meaning of life
in general or abstract terms.
The meaning of life dtt
fcrs from man to man, from
day to day and from hour
to hour," he says. " What mat
ters is not the meaning of life
in - general but rather the
specific meaning of a person's
life at a given moment . . .
Life ultimately means taking
Hie responsibility to find the
right answer to the very real
and concrete problems which
are constantly being set be
fore us as individuals."
Dr. Frankl flatly repudiates
the basic Freudian doctrine
that man's main concern is
to "gain pleasure and avoid
pain." He contends that the
real primary urge is the "will
to meaning" and that it is
powerful that "man is
even ready to suffer on the
condition that his suffering
has a meaning."
He tells of an elderly pa
tient who was overcome with
severe depression because of
the death of his wife. Dr.
Frankl asked him what would
have happened to the wife if
her husband had died first.
The patient replied that it
would have been "terrible"
for her.
You see," Dr. Frankl re
plied, "such a suffering has
been spared her and it is you
who have spared her this suf
fering, but now you have to
pay for it by surviving and
mourning her."
"He said no word," Dr.
Frankl recalls, "but shook my
hand and calmly left my of
fice. Suffering ceases to be
suffering in some way at the
moment it finds a meaning, j
such as the meaning of a sac
rifice." v
Rejects Freudian Notion
Dr. Frankl also rejects vig
orously the Freudian notion
that human love is "a mere
side effect, or sublimation, of
sex."
Love is as primary a phe
nomenon as sex, lie de
clares. "No one can become
fully aware of the very es
sence of another human being
unless he loves him. By the
spiritual act of love he Is
enabled to see the essential
traits and features in the be
loved person; and even more,
he sees that which Is poten
tial in him ... By his love,
the loving person enables the
beloved person to make these
potentialities come true."
Freud' warnings against "In
hibitions" and "repression"
have been -died by many
years as an alibi for free in
dulgence of sexual appetites.
But the man who now ranks
as Europe's leading psychia
trists is no friend of liber
tines. "Sex," says Viktor Frankl.
"is sanctified as soon as - but
only as long as - it is a vehicle
breaking by knowingly sell-
ing tickets that will go
across state lines.
What is more important,
both federal and state offi
cials feel, is to prevent racke
teering in connection with the
lottery. Legal officials plan to
map a program to prevent
this.
There were reports from
Washington that U.S. Atty.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy
would try to block the sweep
stakes before it gets under
way. Yet prior to his signing
the bill into law, King appar
ently was not pressured by
the Kennedy administration.
There can be little doubt
that New Hampshire is de
pending on out-of-state money
to make the sweepstakes a
success. New Hampshire has
only 600,000 residents and if
even 50 per cent of them pur
chased a sweepstakes ticket,
the . lottery would not ap.
proach the anticipated
revenue.
There ar about 1 million
visitors to the state each year.
Since New Hampshire is both
a winter and summer vaca
tionland it is hoped the twice-a-year
"stakes will not lack
for bettors.
No one has come up with a
solution to the problem of
counterfeiting. The only state
law against duplication of the
tickets by unauthorized per
sons concerns "public docu
ments." The penalty for this
is a seven-year prison term.
Legislation will be needed,
therefore, to establish penal
ties for sweepstakes counter
feiters. What happens if the tickets
are counterfeited out-of-state?
This is another unanswered
problem.
Massachusetts public safety
was particularly concerned.
He feared professional gam
blers which Boston does not
lack will take over the illicit
sale of tickets in Massachu
setts. Arrests Planned
All of the main roads north
to New Hampshire pass
through Massachusetts. Giles
says his troopers will be in
structed ' to arrest anyone
caught with a lottery ticket.
Since Louisiana abolished
its lottery in 1890. efforts
have been under way in many
states and in the Congress to
