I times downrignt outrage.
I These are the views of Ger
ald Stahl of Gerald Stahl as
sociations, New York. Stahl,
who has been in Industrial
design for 18 years, expressed
them In an Interview and in
a speech at the Advertising
Federation of America con
vention In Atlanta, Ga,
Indifferent, Angry, Eta,
Three to five years ago the
consumers' reaction to new
products was ono pf general
interest, Slnhl said. Now,
she's often Indifferent, often
angry, confused and immune
to the producer's appeal to
her. As a result, he said, the
manufacturer is not getting
across to her confidence ,ln
his name.
"Both product and compa
ny Identification got obscured
by overly dramatic advertis
ing, superlative sell copy, and
over-glamorized packaging,"
Stahl Bald.
"In effect, they all say the
same thing. Today, every
body's selling the outdoors.
This advertising doesn't even
relate to the consumer. She's
not dangling her feet in a
cool mountain stream," suld
Stahl, In reference to some of
today's ads.
Because so few products
and companies stand out to
day, brand loyalties barely
exist," said Stahl. "And no
wonder. We keep Introducing
new stuff nil the time, quick
ly duplicated by other com
panies, to the point where
nobody can remember who's
who and what's what."
Too many products are
kindred," said the Industrial
designer. "As much as 10 per
cent of the space of a super
market will be given over
to soaps and synthetic deter
gents. Now, 1 m a pro, and
honestly I can't tell you what
difference there is In the
brands.
"The obvious comment of
the consumer is, 'I wish they'd
Just give us a package I can
read. Tell me what's in It." "
Towels and Detergents
He said the package for a
detergent may be given over
almost altogether to offering
few towels Instead of tell
ing what the product does.
The packaxes marked
"three cents off regular price,"
or five or seven cents off arc
another of Stahl's complaints.
"All these disillusion the
customer," he said. "No, It's
not an attempt to deceive, but
to make the package more
attractive. One does this, so
competition forces others into
the same technique. I was
happy to notice the other day
one large manufacture r an
nounced he would not partici
pate In the.oi price otf reg
ular deals."

Br BOB METCALFE
Tokyo - flirtl - Japan seems
to have found a system that
could cure much of the United
Stater divorce ills, says a Cal-
ifornian who has researched
11 countries in the past six
months for divorce laws and
customs that tend to save marriages.
. Jay Burchett, a 47-year-old
engineering professor at Pasa
dena City college, is vice-president
of United States Divorce
Reform Inc., a non-profit or
ganization launched two years
ago .to tackle America's high
divorce rate. (He said it aver
ages about 28 out of every
100 marriages).
Burchett, on leave from his
college at half-pay, ended here
his world-wide research into
divorce customs and laws. The
tour took him to ; see judges
and government officials in
Britain, Germany, : Switzer
land, Scandinavia and central
Europe. '
Will. Write
He intends to write a book
and lecture in the United
States, hopeful the ideas he
has picked up will be adopted
as state laws.
Burchett likes Japan's fam
ily courts system, he said, be
cause it "tries to save" floun
dering marriages with case
teams of psychiatrists, doctors
and priests-and has . account
ants to divide property when
divorce is unavoidable.
As in Britain, judges spe
cialize in divorce and act only
on case-worker recommendations.
And the system can func
tion without lawyers. Divorce
lawyers would starve in Ja
pan, said Burchett, since the
Japanese can get a divorce I
for as little as a $25 court fee.
Grounds here include divorce
by consent, though a three
month waiting period is man
datory.
Japan's family court system,
set up in 1948 when the Japa
nese constitution was written,
is based largely on studies

made around 1900 by Judge
Ben B. Lindsay of Chicago.
Japan's divorce rate (69.000
in 1961) is one of the lowest
of any country Burchett vis
ited. "Japan takes a positive ap
proach," said Burchett. "In
America we have an adver
sary system that pits husband
against wife tor the material
things they can salvage from
a divorce. It seldom tries to
solve the petty differences
that often lead to divorce. We
destroy, rather than save mar
riages." American couples get pre
cious little help from lawyers
in solving their problems in
stead of going ahead with di
vorce, he said.

a year, he mainiainea. law
yers are paid to liquidate mar
riages.
Said Burchett, "We want to
take divorce out of the world
of lawyers and put it into the
hands of people specializing
in personal relations."
Sweden Highest
Among the countries he vis
ited, Burchett found Sweden's
divorce rate one of the high
est. Britain had one of the
lowest.
Burchett said he found in
his tour that European women
were not so downtrodden but
pretty happy with their lot.
He said it was not a valid
argument to blame U. S. di
vorces on American women's
independence - "foreign wom
en married to U. S. citizens
have the same divorce rate, so
the system's to blame."
He saw hope in the fact
that a family court started in
Toledo, Ohio, by Judge Paul
Alexander in 1951 had re
duced the divorce rate there,
and that other U.S. cities wera
taking notice of the court's
operation.
Candidate
Burchett's interest in di
vorce reform prompted him to
run for the California legisla
ture last June. He said ha
spent $280, drew 5,500 votes
and finished fourth among tha
seven candidates. His plat
form was based strictly on
divorce law reform.
Burchett has a personal in
terest in divorce law reform.
His parents were divorced
when he was six. He is di
vorced, and has custody of his
five-year-old son.
