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.

ested, he said, and 1 m sure
the American people wouldn't be
interested in having the crack removed."

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (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.
