THURSDAY, JANUARY 8. 195!) HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 9 A Talking In Generalities May Show Maladjustment TEMPE. Ariz. (AP) - Like to talk in generalities? Thai's okav U you don't believe them other wise it may be an indication of tocial maladjustment. That's the conclusion of Dr. Wal ter F. Johnson, education profes sor at Michigan State and presi dent ot ine American Personnel and Guidance Assn. His findings recently were announced by Michi can State and Arizona State. He said a language test devised to indicate social adjustment con tinned 100 statements with such phrases as: "Iron is strong. A circle is round. A leaf is green. Humans can talk. A boy who never lies is good. Women are mothers." If you believe all these state ments are "always true," Dr Johnson said, then you may be maladjusted. He explained: Credit Group Buys Stock The Klamath Production Credit1 Association and 29 other associ ations in Idaho, Montana, Oregon nnd Washington have just made their third and final cash invest ment in capital stock of the Fed eral Intermediate Credit Bank of Spokane. Don W. Knder, secretary-treasurer of the local association, said this stock purchase program was instituted two years ago under the r arm Credit Act of 1956 and will, When completed, give the nroriuc- tion credit associations their own bank of discount through which they obtain the funds to loan to their farmer and rancher members. The 30 associations now have $1, 444,175 in credit bank stock, of which $1,204,470 is represented by cash purchases and $239,705 by pa tronage refunds, according to Kri der, who explained that, with cash purchases completed, patronage re funds out of bank earnings is the medium through which the associ ation will eventually acquire com plete ownership of the bank. As the association investment in bank stock accumulates, govern ment stock in the bank will be retired, he said. The bank was fully capitalized by Uncle Sam from its organization in 1923 until the associations started their stock purchases program two years ago. On December 31, government cap ital in the bank had been reduced to $5,345,530. ' Both a normal and maladjusted person might say, "The salesmen in that store are always terrible when it might be more correct to say, "The salesman in that store's hardware department acted rudely Saturday morning However, he added, the adjusted person would realize he was stat ing a generality. The test, devised by Dr. Thomas M. Weiss, assistant professor o( education at Arizona State, recent ly was given to 409 teenagers ir detention homes and 494 high school students in Michigan. It was repeated in other detention homes, high schools and a state mental hospital in Michigan. The results: A significantly higher proportion in the maladjusted group an swered "always true" to general izations in the test. The tests are based on theories of Alfred Korzybski, a language expert who maintains "words are not reality. He claims language has about the same relationship to reality as a map to the terrain it represents. Johnson said language experts believe most normal persons have some awareness of weaknesses in language structure ' but persons who don't come to "wrong" con-' elusions and show evidence ot mal-1 adjustment.

(AP) Marie Torre, who went to jail rather than reveal the source of an item in her radio-TV column, has received more than 500 let ters praising her for her stand. This was made known Wednes day by the 34-year-old newspaper woman's husband, TV producer Hal Friedman, who visited her at the Hudson County Jail here. Friedman said his wife had re ceived only one letter critical ot her position. She misses her two infant chil dren, Friedman said, but is oth erwise cheerful. Miss Torre shares with other prisoners the candy and fruit sent her by well wishers. Friedman was accompanied to the prison by Ogden Reid, former president and editor of the New York Herald Tribune, and several personal friends of the columnist Miss lorre writes for the New York Herald Tribune syndicate She chose a 10-day jail term rather than reveal the source of an item she wrote about singer Judy Garland, saying she hoped the move "will lead to legis lation protecting a newpapcr man's sources." Just such legislation was offered the House in Washington Wednes day. Rep. Francis E. Dorn (R-Ky) introduced a bill exempting news paper, radio and television report ers from being compelled by fed eral courts (o reveal their sources, except in cases affecting national security. Dorn said his bill would extend to the federal courts a recognition of newsmen's privileges already provided by law in 12 states. He said the legislation would facilitate newsgathering and "give lurlher legal recognition to the host journalistic ethics which pro vide for the protection of confiden tial news sources." Support for legislation of this type came Wednesday night from the New York County Council of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Some 350 VFW members passed a resolution at a special meeting calling for laws to protect news men who find themselves in Miss Torre's position. The resolution specifically named national security matters as an instance in which such ex emption should not be granted newsmen.
