By BILL JENKINS It son-climes seems to me that the American people have quit cherishing independence as a per sonal state and have substituted worship of the demi-gods of tele vision, motivational research, the American League, non-fattening beer substitutes and a few hundred other modern obscenities instead. Plus the fact that we have be come a nation of neurotics whose principal aim in life is a paid up annuity in the Garden of Eden by age 40 and whose greatest fear is that we might slip up somewhere and bring down the wrath of the boss on our heads, thus endanger ing this lively dream of paradise on earth. If you don't think so just try to get a yes or no answer out of the average man on any matter per taining to his business. A little ex perimentation will prove, I'm sure, that eight times out of ten you'll gel the old stall until he hat1 time to clear his answer with the pow ers that be, e.g. his immediate su perior. So firmly entrenched has this! Idea of security at any cost be come that we are mighty likely to lose not only our independence but our lives as well. The Spartan life is a thing of the past and Spartan thinking is becoming unfashionable. It might offend cither the boss or the neighborhood group and knock a gold star or two off your secur ity chart. Along with this feverish attitude toward security has grown the na tional attitude of littleness. The sort of attitude that leads men to think of individual effort as useless. If it Isn't done by a group with a name then it isn't worth doing at all. All of which, of course, leads up to the Inevitable conclusion that it will be best to let them, whoever they are, take care of it. This is known as the theory of big government. I suppose it is a perfectly natural reaction since playing possum is always easier than fighting back. Or running. Next to playing in traffic I sup pose it is the most dangerous pas time we know today. I for S50 each while still a student at Dartmouth. After graduation he clicked with the slick paper magazines, worked on a dozen film scripts, then hit big with his first novel, "What Makes Sammy Run." The film version of a later novel, "On The Waterfront," won an Academy award. Schulberg, a man with a vast appetite for living, likes to work hard and play hard. His prodigi ous researches have made him acquainted with enough rogues and rascals, caught and uncaught, to overflow Sing Sing. He goes for the off-beat character, whether the guy's a prisoner, prince or prelate. ( "Sometimes 1 don't know wheth er the research I do is really work," he said, "or a form of pro crastination to delay the actual writing. "But I'm pretty fast once I start writing. I write my first draft in pencil on one of those long yellow legal pads. In fact I'm blocked without one can't write until I do find one." Budd makes corrections in his second draft, which he turns out on the typewriter. Then he makes interlinear changes in it before having his third and final draft typed. He turns out about 5,000 words a week when things are going well, "but it's hard to keep up that average. "Balzac wrote from midnight to dawn," he remarked, "But I've come to like more usual hours. If I don't have something going by mid-morning, I (eel frustrated." Here is his advice to a begin ning writer: "Love or hate something. Learn as much as you can and crystal lize your own attitudes so you won t imitate anybody else. Then take the thing you know the best and feel strongest about and write it in your own way. If you don't feel strongly about any thing, you probably won't be able to write well about it." If we elected a two headed calf to the government (and we probab ly will one of these days) there would be a distressingly large pro portion of the population who would be perfectly willing to let it make their decisions for them. It looked for a while as if the gigantic strides being made in the field of medical research would turn up cures faster than we could find diseases to match them with. But human nature came to the rescue and today the only disease that the average man has much fear of is known as stricture of the bank balance. To date no cure has been found. But men are still trying. And if laying down and Inline the government assume your sense of independence lor you is any use at all it would seem as if we are just about to achieve the national and independent security that has been sold as the salvation of the 20th century. Either that or a condition known as being dead. And maybe there isn't much to choose between the two. frcnlivc Writing By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (API What uie main prooiem ot a creative writer in this country'.'

AP Business New Analyst NEW YORK (AP) The' U.S Treasury's financing problems and the growing belief (hat a new round of inflation is starting have brought the yield on bonds today strikingly close to that on stocks. That is. bond prices have gone down, making a return on their fixed interest rales higher if bought today. And slock prices have gone up while corporate earnings were falling and dividend payments were mostly static or dwindling, making a return on stocks at today's prices smaller. Traders in slocks and bonds are disturbed both over the growing belief that inflation is inevitable and over possible effects on the money market of the steps that the Treasury, aided by the Feder al Reserve Board, may have to take in the months ahead to fi nance the growing federal debt. At first the U.S. bond market's troubles were blamed on specula tors who bought on slim margins hoping for a quick kill. When the price of newly issued government securities, which they had thought were priced below the market, went dow n instead of up, they were torced to sell at a loss, further upetling the market. But some observers are looking for more far-reaching causes. They cite the Treasury's suhse- But the National City Bank of New Y'ork points out today in its August bank letter that the Fed eral Reserve held many of the ex changed securities and had bought more of the old ones just before offering to help the Treasury. Counting out the securities held by the Fed, which automatically exchanged for the new, 29 per cent of those held outside the system were turned in for cash. And the bank adds that the Fed also bought more than a billion dollars of the new offering from outside holders on a when-issued basis, which are being turned in for the new securities. The bank figures this brings public holders demanding cash to 42 per cent of their original holdings. Out of this came renewed down ward pressure on bond prices, both government and corporate and hence higher yields at today's prices. U.S. government bonds are the safest in the land. They will be repaid in full. But the bank points out that in times ot creeping in flation the fixed return on bonds looks unattractive to those who see the market value of the dollar receding. The rise in stock prices last week owed some of its umph to the turmoil in bonds perhaps more to belief that government deficit spending means more in tlation. egged on by some recent price rises and by a hoped-for up surge in business this fall. Normally when the bond and slock yields get this close, many investors switch to the safer bonds. But the fact that still more U.S. securities will swell the mar ket supply, and belief that infla tion may erode their returns, causes some observers to feel that this may not happen so markediy this time. The bank notes as the core problem "getting federal govern ment expenditures and financial commitments of every type under control." It holds, "It is not fair to ask anyone to buy bonds of a government which seems to be embarked on deficits as a way of life." Many will dispute the bank's views, but that'i how it feels about it. pact countries to preserve their pro-Western governments from in ternal overthrow, if requested to do so. just as the United States moved into Lebanon upon request. What will be the effect of Amer ican partnership in the pact? It can be stated on excellent author ity that the Eisenhower adminis tralion feels there will be a good psychological effect, perhaps more important than any practical ef fect. This would seem to mean the administration believes the pres ent pact countries, friendly to the West, would, with American part nership, be strengthened against Soviet pressure from without and subversive efforts from within. But the Arab nations with the exception of Iraq prior to its July revolt have been hostile to this military alliance on the northern fringe of the Middle East sitting just above the Arab world And the Soviet Union, of course, was and is violent in its denuncia tion of such a military alliance on. its southern frontier. This can be understood. It's not hard to imagine the re action in this country if the Sov iet Union had sponsored and then joined a military alliance of the Latin-American countries just south of the United States from Mexico to the ' Panama Canal. An agreement between the Sov iet Union and the West to ban arms shipments to the Middle East has been mentioned as one way of preserving peace and some stability in that area. Such an agreement now seems impossible. Before the Soviet Union agreed to a ban on arms shipments to the Middle East it almost certa: ly would want the pact countries in the area just south of it Turkey, Iran and Pakistan eluded among the nations which no longer could get arms. But how can this country, after virtually joining the pact, now do an about-face and, even at the price of getting peace in the Mid die East, agree to an arms em bargo that applied to its new pact partners?

The United States helped create the Baghdad Pact which was born in 1955 but has avoided becoming an outright memher. The members were Britain, Tur key, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan. All but Britain lie across the southern Soviet frontier. The pur pose was to unite them in a mu tual aeiense agreement against any Soviet attack. It would also serve as a military wall against Soviet invasion of the Middle East We supplied arms to the pact countries, but stayed out of actual membership. Then the July revolt in Iraq all but ended that nation's participation. It probably will pull out. This brought the whole ar rangement to the edge of disaster. lo avoid collapse of the pact Secretary of Slate Dulles last week signed an agreement com mining the United states to de. fense of Iran, Turkey and Pakis tan.

JORDAN, M. D "Can grief, worry or despair cause death as the result of "broken heart?" Most of the references I have seen to this question have not been in medical books or journ als, but rather in romantic nov els which tell of some young man or woman disappointed in love who died of a "broken heart.' I doubt that this can occur. If a young person dies from heart disease after a disappointing love affair, he or she probably had the heart disease before the love affair. But I do not want to be too rigid about this because the emo tions do influence bodily functions. In one form of heart disease, an gina pectoris (and possibly in others', emotional factors certainly can bring on symptoms of disorder. For example, one leading phy sician who had angina pectoris himself many years ago is said to have stated that "his life was in the hands of any rascal who chose to annoy him." All this has been brought on by a 70-year-old correspondent who wrote that she has had a heart condition for the past eight years which she was told was "broken" heart which has "mend ed." However, she adds that she sometimes has chest pains which are relieved by taking nitroelvc- erin. u seems almost certain, even at a distance, that this good ladv nas angina pectoris. Angina is a symptom resulting trom a narrowing of the coronal arteries supplying the heart. Pa usually does not develop when the person is resting or exercisinc on slightly. It comes on when the heart musrie is working harder and needs greater quantities of blood Thus someone who has angina pectoris nas to learn how much exertion he or she can take with out producing the pain. It was often thought that a per son with angina pectoris could not live long and could not avoid se vere suffering. Both of these be liefs have proved too pessimistic Most angina victims, if they get proper care and adjust their act ivities. can enjoy hie as much as before and have little discom fort, and that only rarely. Furth ermore. the outlook for life is not nearly so dismal as was for merly believed. In addition to the better out look which is now rerncnr-H methods of improved management are being developed.
