Writer Enters Plea
On Tax Evasion
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - John
Hawkins, 52, a freelance televi
sion writer who has done scripts
for "Bonanza" and other shows,
Tuesday pleaded nolo contendre
(no contest) to a charge of
evading state income tax o n
$270,000 earned since 1959.
The former Oregon man ap
peared before Municipal Judge
James D. Tane to enter h i s
plea on four counts. He h a d
been scheduled to have a prelim
inary hearing. Three other
counts were dismissed.
Hawkins, free on $5,000 bail,
assertedly owes the state $14,
000 in back taxes. Investigators
claim he never filed a state in
come tax return from the time
he came to California in 1956
to the time of the complaint
Sentencing is set for Nov. 5

The implication is that the

question: What's best for the

her that love can't be forced

Grandma. It must be earned,

happen overnight. Love is a
sum total of many small ap
preciations, pleasures, insights

Grace treasures the bond Willi

ested scientists have become
aware that other factors must
be involved, too.
At the University of California,
Los Angeles campus, the five
scientists "restrained,, monkeys
in chairs with loose straps. The
idea was to trace central ner
vous system influences on how
various blood fats moved about
in their blood streams.
To be "restrained," even
loosely, is a stressful experi
ence (or a Rhesus monkey which
normally bounces around. The
scientists realized at once that
this "stress" was influencing
the amounts of their blood cho
lesterol. This led to a formal experi
ment with six male and six
female monkeys. Their usual
blood cholesterol levels were es
tablished in advance. Diet and
body weight were precisely
"controlled" so these influences
on blood cholesterol would be
uniform.
That left only "stress" as the
measurable influences The mon
keys were "restrained" (or per
iods of 10 days to 45 days and
their blood chemistries were
studied systematically.
Level Drops
The blood cholesterol level o(
the males dropped 35.5 per cent
under "stress." It dropped in
the females, too, but not nearly
as much, the drop amounting to
19 per cent. After the monkeys
were released from "restraint"
their blood cholesterol levels re
turned to what they had been.
The scientists didn't know
what to make of these findings,
but they intend to find out just
how body chemistry's handling
of choleserol was altered by
stress. They also were conscious
of contradictions. Human sur
gical patients have showed de
creases in cholesterol levels in
response to "surgical stress,"
but there also have been in
dications that "occupational
stresses" may increase human
levels.
However, it was clear to Rita
M. Meier, J. H. Greenhoot,
Irma Shonley, J. R. Goodman
and R. W. Porter that "cerebral
factors" meaning the most
complex part of the complicated
human brain play a part in
controlling the chemistry of
blood fats and, as the result,
has a say-so in the extent and
speed of artery-hardening.
Colds Big Factor
