10 A Byrnes Sees Fall Of South America Newberry, S.C. -JUPil-James F. Byrnes, former U. S. sec retary of state, said Sunday the presence of Russians in Cuba may make Latin Ameri ca republics doubt this coun try's ability to protect them from Communist enroacii ment. ".""ley will be subverted one by one until all of South America is lost and the Com munist goal of isolating the U. S. has been attained," the former South Carolina gov ernor, said at commencement exercises at Newberry Col lege. Byrnes said he hoped Presi dent Kennedy "will take whatever steps are necessary to force withdrawal of all Soviet offensive weapons and combat troops from Cuba." He said the President can act with assurance that Ameri cans will support any action he takes. MONDAY. JUNE 3, 1963 HEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORO.

Grabowskl (D Conn.) said Sunday he had prepared a bill to grant tax relief for expenses incurred In adoption of children. Gra bowskl said In a statement it seemed "unjust" that persons who adopted children were denied tax advantages given to parents for the expenses of childbirth. A'virei ncK nave ou- tained results which suggest that eight out of 10 nervously or mentally disturbed persons can be returned to a useful life with the new procedure whicil they call Prefrontal Sonic Treatment (PST). For the past nine years, Dr. Lind strom has been using it as a substitute for the operation of prefrontal lobotomy. First, the surgeon drills out three 1-inch-in-diameter "but tons of bone" from the skull. These are later replHccd like as many tiny manhole covers. Through these holes go ultra sound waves which cause nerve tracts in the brain to work more normally. The first treatment is given under gen eral anesthesia; later ones are so nearly painless that they can be given without anes thesia. The patient is kept in the hospital nine days. As Dr. Llndslrom says, the favorable reaction of 80 per cent of these patients is most remarkable. They are so hap py when they find their great anxieties arc gone - they are amazed and most grateful. So far, no bad results have been seen. Relapses have recurred In 20 per cent of the cases, but these can be corrected with another treatment.

DIVIDENDS SOARING If I were to ask you what group In America is now en joying the fastest rate of rise in personal income, I'll wager most of you would say promptly "the wage-earner or salar ied worker." Some of you who recently have been hit by heavy medical bills might answer "the doctor or dentist. Others of you who are paying more rent than you can com fortably carry might choose "the landlord." All of your answers would be reasonable and all, wrong. The group whose rate of income rlse is now dwarfing those you might reasonably mention is: the U. S. stockholder. Cash dividend payments on corporation slocks are climb ing to all-time peaks. In the first five months dividend pay ments have been way above $5 billion. On June 10, when General Motors will pay an extra 50 cent "special dividend" on top of Its regular quarterly dividend of 50 cents, SUM! million will go to GM stockholders alone. In 1003 dividend payments are likely to approach $17 billion against l!)tl2's record high of $15.9 billion which in turn was 6 per cent above 1961. In 10B3 America's stockholders are getting s much larger share of this nation's personal Income than the $12.7 billion going to all our farmers or the $13.1 billion going to all our landlords. The 19B3 payout will represent on average nf $1,000 for each of our country's 17 million shareholders and while not al! corporations pay dividends and not all share owners receive dividends, this average does underline the Importance of dividends in the composition of personal in come today. Most startling, though, it the central fact that divi dends art so rapidly rising a source of perional In come, for this Is in direct contrail to the trend of the 19S0t. In 1957-58, dividend income actually declined. Now consider these comparisons. From January through December 19G2, tolal personal in come rose 5 per cent and this also was the percentage rise in wages and salaries. Rental income increased a minor 2 pet cent. Proprtetor's Income (received by business and profes sional persons and farmers) rose 4 per cent. , In the same period dividend income jumped 9 per cent, almost twice the rise in tolal personal Income or in wages and salaries. Why the spectacular improvement? A first obvious reason is the upsurge in corporation prof its. At last official reporting dale in late 19H2, corporate profits were running at an all-time record of $53.2 billion a year and the level Is sharply higher now. The Influence of profits on dividend payments is illustrated by the way pay ments vary from Industry to Industry. In 1IIU2 the flush auto industry hiked its dividend payments 19 per cent above HMil and this year the Chrysler-General Motors moves guarantee a further hike. At the same time the profit-squeezed steel In dustry slashed Its dividend payments 5 per cent under llltil and this year Heel is Just beginning to pull out of its pro longed slump. A second obvious reason is corporation confidence In the economy's future. Even when companies are loaded with cash, they don't pay extra dividends unless thrv anticinate a continued high level of profits. In the first four months of j 1963, 487 companies boosted their dividends, H3 more than! in me comparable period of 1962. A third tiltlly significant factor was the Treas ury's liberalisation In 1962 of the rules governing corporation depreciation which permits companies to deduct larger sums from their pre-tax income to write down investments in plants and equipment. As result, companies need not depend to much on their after-tax income to iinanca plant expansion and mod ernisation and they have a bigger portion of after tax Income left to distribute to there ttockholderi. To emphasize how significant this is, in late 1962 almost two-thirds of after-tax prolila were paid to stockholders in comparison with an average of only 54 per cent in 1950-61. Many companies don't pay any dividends, attract stock holders by promises of long-term growth. But more than 1,000 companies have paid regular dividends on their com mon stocks for 25 years or longer. Of corporations listed on the New York Stock Exchange, 514 have paid cash dividends In each year for 25 years or more. (P. S.

Muslims Await Verdict of Jury Los Angeles -HOT- An all white jury of 10 women and 2 men continue today to de liberate the fate of 14 Black Muslims accused of assault in a riot last year In which one sect member was killed. The case went to the panel May 25 after a six-week trial. The Black Muslims were tried on charges ranging from felony assault to assault with intent to commit murder. Besides the one fulalily, six sect members were wound ed and several police officers were injured in the riot April 27, 1962. RAIL TALKS RESUME Washington - H'Pl' - Labor Secretary W.

Most of the nervous pa tients treated were seriously ill persons who had been liv ing on tranquilizers and bar biturates. Some 57 per cent had received shock treat ments; 11 per cent had at tempted suicide; and 28 per cent were in danger of com mitting suicide. The symp'oms that respond most favorably to this treat ment are these: anxiety, de pression, obsessions and com pulsions to do silly things, phobias (unreasoning fears), hypochondriasis (a conviction that the person has some ter rible illness), some drug addic tions and some cases of alco holism, many schizophrenias, and many severe neuroses. Persons not helped were neurotic persons with person ality disorders, character de fects, negativism (refusal to do necessary acts), certain al coholics, and poranoiacs (peo ple who think enemies are threatening them). The outlook is not hopeful in the use of this method when the patient never was nervously well, and it is bad when ufter the operation the person has to go back Into a bad environment. It looks as if a great step forward has been taken in the rehabilitation and return ing to a useful life of millions of now greatly disturbed and utterly miserable persons. Eye Banks Kindly people who want to get in touch with an eye bank can write to the Eye Bank As sociation of America at 18 State St., Rochester 14, N.Y. There arc now between 75 and 80 eye banks In the Unit ed Slates. Anyone who wunls to get the address of the near est one to him (or her) should send a self-addressed, stamp ed envelope to Mis. uhoads in Rochester. Percy L. Douglas, the presi dent of the organization, says that during the last year they received more Ihun 1,100 eyes, which Is a record. This num ber will doubtless keep in creasing.

By DICK WEST Washington - ITO - Some body has got to wash the dishes. There's no getting around that. I t i , e i ... - n '"iAs this in mind as we proceed now to look further ! nt o the question of whether A m- VMai I are vetims of laaaV ael a c o nspiracy wot to keep them "trapped in endless and empty housewifery." In a recent debate before the Women's National Press Club here, a strong case for the affirmative was presented by Mrs. Betty Friedan, author of a new book entitled "The Feminine Mystique." What I regard as an equally strong case for the negative EDIBLE SCULPTURE London - HJPti - Twelve stu dents at the Slade School of Fine Arts have entered a competition in which they must carve sculptures from 40-pound blocks of rindless cheese. was made by Robert Stein, fed itor of Redbook Magazine, and one of the targets of Mrs. Friedan's attack. It was the balanced weight of the two arguments that I found disturbing. If this ends in a tie. the sink it go ing to get awfully full. As I understand Mrs. Frie dan, she passionately believes that women should not have a choice between homemaking and a career. They should have both. ' Mrs. Friedan charged that women's magazines, such as the one edited by Stein, are trying to sell the ladies a bill of goods on staying at home to empty the ashtrays rather than working a 9-to-5 shift at the poolhall. Or, as she put it, "taking a full and equal place in so ciety." Stein said that wasn't so. He agreed "it's wrong to try to convince every woman that she will find fulfillment in having babies and baking bread." But he said, "it's equally wrong to try to convince every woman that she will find fulfillment in practicing a profession or pursuing a ca reer. All of this started me to wondering why it is that tuch discussions always in volved the woman't place in borne vertus career. Doesn't anyone ever worry over whether a man can suc cessfully mix marriage with a career. In all my life I have never heard of a man giving up a Job to get married. Oftentimes the opposite is true. The magazines seem to take it for granted that men are capable of holding down a job without interference with their roles as husbands and fathers. We men may foster this illusion to keep from having to do the dishes, but down deep in our hearts we know it isn't true. I myself probably would ba president of General Motors today were it not for the fact that I chose to devote myself to my family instead. I am not sorry I did it. I'm not complaining one bit.
