No one per son was entirely unresponsive to all 20 of them. You can under stand that this sort of measure ment can't possibly be all white or all black. Scientifically it can be measured only statistically and statistically Meissner ob tained quite "significant" results indicating that the words did arouse unconscious anxiety. The question remained: did the unconscious mind associate the words with death: After the re laxed testing on the comfortable bed, he gave his subjects lists of words and asked them to write in what they associated the words with. A significant (statistically) number wrote "death" after the death symbol words a significant (statistically) number of times, Meissner reported the results to the American Psychological Asso-ciation. Ry DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD-Somc new ly obtained facts now bolster a psychological theory that certain words mean death to all of us (although we don't know it) and those words stir anxiety deep down inside us because we're so very much afraid of death. The theory conies out of psy choanalysis. Psychiatrists who use that technique discovered certain words produced in neurotic pa tients what is known in the trade as "the anxiety reaction." The pa tients didn't know why or how. and that's where theorizing be gins. The words, it was theorized were symbols to the unconscious minds of the patients they sym bolized death. Thus they aroused the fear of death unconsciously and this fear boiled up to the sur face and caused an exaggerated anxiety which had neither rhyme nor reason. Dr. W. W. Meissner. psycholo gist of St. Louis University, St l.ouis. Mo., tesled this theory in 40 non-neurotic men hetween 2.1 and 45. You nay ask bow he could do that if the mental pro cess is unconscious, and it is a good question. He made use of the probability that a jolt of anxiety In the unconscious mind will in crease the electrical charge which is always running through the kin. He took thrm one by one Into a sound proof room where tern perature and humidity were main tained at ideal levels, laid them comfortably on a bed. altaehed electrodes to their hands, and pro nounced the words in the most "neutral" lone of voice he could Use. Tho words he obtained from psychoanalytic literature. All were theoretically proved to ne symbol e of death. He got 20 sets ol fliem altogether and mixed them MP with 30 words selrcted because they could have no emotional meaning of any kind. Our Flag By JIM COURTNEY United Press International The nation came to attention to salute its flag. June 14 was Flag Day in the United States . , , the one day each year when we honor a sym bol that speaks for all Americans. Floating softly and undisturbed in peace it has special meaning for each of us. For some it's the security of America, for others a bold banner of belief, for many a link with past glory. Even changing through the years, it is the same. It's the same flag which Americans strug gled to plant on top of Mount Suri bachi on a place called Iwo .lima, or carried ashore at Tripoli in 1805, or died defending at Pearl Harbor. Only its arrangement of stars and stripes has changed in the years since June 14, 1777, when the flag was born. Gen. George Washington de scribed the symbolism of our flag by saying: "We take the stars from heaven, tho red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to pos terity, representing liberty." Our flag is old. It's the third oldest nalional standard in the world. Older than Britain's Union Jack or (he Tricolor of France. Only Denmark and Turkey claim older nalional flags. Vermont and Kentucky made a 15-star circle on the "Star Span gled Banner" which (lew over Fort Mcllcnry near Baltimore and in spired Francis Scott Key. It also had 15 stripes, two new ones for the two new stales. . Enemy fire tore much of its 30 by 42 feet of color, sewn by Baltimore lady named Marv Piekersgill. But enough of its broad stripes and bright stars still remained alter a night bombard ment lo catch the dawn's early light proving it was slill there. The tlag of the United States is still there today, perhaps flying more proudly as it celebrates its 181st birthday, accepting proud tribute from sons who were horn under it. lived by it, and fought lor It. The American flag is silent to day. But not mute, lis spirit, in the words of Jefferson, speaks to almost 17 million citizens when it declares: "I swear, before the altar of God, eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind o( man." Ital Imlgiiieiii By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst .WASHINGTON lB-The best that can be said for Sherman Adams, the President's No. 1 assistant, is that his judgement was bad. Some Republicans want him thrown out. Democrats will use him as a campaign issue in the 1958 elections. Any man in public office, like Adams, must decide about ac cepting gifts or favors from an individual whose interests may conflict with the public interest. Adams accepted. From what followed Adams left himself open to suspicion of using his influence to repay the gifts or favors, although no one knows better than Adams that the men around a president can ill afford to be in that position. It was this same highly moral istic New Englander who helped heap suspicion on the men around President Truman in the 1952 cam paign when the main Republican theme was "Throw the rascals out." Many men who feel they have a public trust have a simple rule of life or yardstick which, if em ployed by Adams, might have saved him from his present em barrassment. It's this: never accept a gift or favor if it can remotely affect your private conscience or the public interest or even give an im pression of doing so. Some mem bers of Congress feel that way. So do some newspapermen. Here's an example: Tako newspaperman Smith. If Jones, a public relations man, gave him an expensive gift and then came around later with a story, Smith would be confronted with this problem: If he used the story, he might ever afterwards feel he had been influenced to do so, even though only subconsciously, by a sense of gratitude for the gift: if he threw Ihe story away, to avoid such a feeling, he might be unfair to Jones. So, such a newsman would rea son, he never should let himself be in a position of having to worry about judging a story on anything except its merits. Adams took free hotel accom modations, amounting to $2,000. from' a man he called, an old family friend: Bernard Goldfine, Boston businessman. The White House has neither confirmed nor denied reports that Adams also accepted a $700 vicuna coat and a $2,400 rug. On Goldfinc's behalf Adams made inquiries at two government agencies to Federal Trade Com mission and the Securities and Ex change Commission with whom Goldfine was having trouble, and arranged for an interview with the FTC chairman. Adams denies any insinuations he used his influence and he has tremendous influence in the gov ernmentwith the two agencies to benefit Goldfine. But the fact thai Adams, President Eisenhow er's No. 1. man, even inquired about Goldfine's troubles raises a question: What is inlluence? Would the commissioners consider such an inquiry from Adams pressure for Goldfine or a simple, routine query? The commissioners depend on Ihe While House for their jobs, since it's the President who ap points them. I hey know Adams doesn t in- Pogo . s.V3iJ Hi AINT oWNNA HA KflW TWf flM T tfOTAu.

It seems pretty certain comparatively few businessmen in trouble ever can get within a mile of Adams, much less get him in terested in their case. This is not the first time Adams has figured in the news for going to a government agency for some special group or individual. Yet, because of his job as assistant to the President, he enjoys a sanctu ary most citizens don't have. No congressional investigating committee can force him to ap pear and answer questions about his conduct. He takes the posi tion he can't be compelled to tes tify about the affairs of the execu tive branch of the government. But Adams wouldn't even face newsmen to answer their ques tions. He let his side of the case and it's not clear that it's all been revealed yet be stated through a public letter and President Eisen hower's press secretary. Ih'iiillock By CHARLES M. McCANN UPI Foreign News Analyst A months-long deadlock on the negotiation of cold war issues be tween the Western allies and So viet Russia is about to be broken. It appears to be settled that ex perts representing East and West will meet in Geneva, Switzerland, on July 1 to start technical talks on the possibility of an agree mcnt to stop the testing of nu clear weapons. These talks could lead to a new start toward a disarmament treaty after a lapse which started when Russia walked out of United Nations disarmament talks last fall. At the same time, the possibil ity that a summit conference of heads of government on a wide range of cold war issues will be held this year seems to be fad ing rapidly. A month or two ago, it seemed to be almost certain that a sum mit conference would be held this tall. Fellow allied governments were putting strong pressure on the United- States to agree to the con ference, for which Russia had been calling since last December when former Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin sent the first of a series of letters to various heads of government. But this pressure has not al most stopped. One big reason is that Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles seems to have convinced other Allied leaders that it would be a serious mistake to agree to a summit conference until Russia has given assurance that it is ready to negotiate big issues in good faith. Another has now arisen in the accession of Gen. Charles de Gaulle as Premier of France in one of the big political upheavals of recent years. It will be necessary for Presi dent Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmil lan to try to coordinate policy with De Gaulle before there can be any agreement lo hold the summit meeting. First in prospect at present is a series of talks which Dulles. Macmillan and Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer will hold in the next few weeks with De Gaulle. Presumably Ihe talks of the United States. British and French ambassadors in Moscow with So viet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko on the issues to be dis cussed at a summit meeting will continue. But even if they make progress. Ihe next step after the De Gaulle talks would be a meeting of Al lied foreign ministers on detailed arrangements for a heads of-gov crnment conference. There is no sign that it w ill be feasible to hold the foreign minis ters conference for many weeks That conference depends on Ihe progress made in the talks be tween Gromyko and the Allied en voys. Soviet Premier N i k i t a S Khrushchev made a new bid to speed up preparations for the sunlit conference last weekend. Khrushchev sent voluminous let ters 18 pages long, with 20 pages of annexes lo Kisenhow er, Macmillan and De Gaulle.
