The Reader's Corner By United Press International Master ol This Vessel, by Gwyn Griffin (Holt. Rinehart and Win ston I: The setting of this absorb ing novel is a somewhat run-down passenger liner bound from Na ples to Australia. Manned by Ital ians and with mostly English pas sengers, there is not much mu tual admiration between passen gers and crew or among the offi cers for that matter. When a tropical hurricane seizes the ship and all but destroys it, the con flicts of personalities are inten sified in the face of death. Pre siding over the scene is 26-year-old acting Capt. Serafino Cicco lanti, who has top command thrust on him during his apprenticeship and has to learn his job at a time when there is no margin for error. It's a stirring story well told. Lilith, by J. R. Salamanca (Si mon and Schuster): The story of; .an eerie and ill-fated love. The hero, a shy and rather naive youth named Vincent Bruce, is an Survey Says Degree Pays NEW YORK (UPIi-Have you ever wondered if a college de gree pays for itself? Does a college graduate earn enough In a lifetime to compen sate for the four or more years when he was paying to learn, rather than being paid to work? As a rule, he does. Under 1958 conditions, a man who had grad uated from high school could ex pect a lifetime income of $231,500. During that same time, from age 18 to 64. a college graduate could expect to earn $383,000 more than $150,000 more than the hih school graduate. The figures come from a recent analysis of income surveys con ducted bv the Bureau of the Cen sus since 1945. The analysis also showed that the demand for college-trained workers has kept pace with the increased supply of these workers Their income advantage over workers with less schooling has continued. Power Drops From Record NEW YORK (APi-The nation's production of electricity receded last week from its record high total of the week before, the Edi son Electric Institute said Wed nesday.

Among the patients at the lodge is Lilith Arthur, a lovely young blonde who has abandoned reality for a self-created fantasy world of pcotry and passion. Vin cent learned early that he was more successful than others on the lodge staff in persuading Li lith to lake an interest in the real world. Before long they were hav ing an affair. "Lilith" is an, odd ly compelling novel, told with such vividness as to make it ap pear probable that Salamanca's fiction is a close approximation of facts he has known. Books on Russia The Grand Tactician, by Lazar Pistrak (Praeger): A study of the circumstances which enabled Khrushchev to rise to supreme power in Russia. It provides a rare picture of dog-eat-dog poli tics in a totalitarian state. Khrush chev's victory was not achieved without intelligence, tenacity, cour age and ruthlessness. This book offers a discerning insight into the personality and ability of the man with whom western leaders mustl bargain for the future. Star in Eclipse, by Joseph B. Schechtman (Yoseloffl: The au thor, a Russian-born journalist, left his homeland in 1920. He re turned in 1959 for a private visit. His book relates his impressions of the plight of his fellow Jews in the Soviet Union today. He says lhat although the Jewish population is considered a na tionality, it is not permitted any national federation, has limited cultural freedom and is denied the privilege of emigration.

Killer Bear Gets Solitary LOS ANGELES (UPIi-Ivan, a 900-pound polar bear who rates as the Griffith Park Zoo's No. 1 heel for killing his mate and a smaller male, will spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement.

Dr. William Kaufman of Bridgeport, Conn., had recourse to the relatively new science of psychosomatic medicine of which he is a leading advocate. He de plored the medical conscience which considers a placebo pre scription "disgraceful, dishonest, fraudulent and unethical." Such a medical conscience can be eased in two steps, he said You don't say, "placebo medica tion" you say "symbolic medi cation." And you recognize that in many patients inert chemical substances are anything but in ert. Psychologically they can be highly potent. Kaufman tabulated a large number of drug-testing expert ments in which a placebo was used as a "control," to demon strate that about 33 per cent of patients will have their symptoms relieved by an inert substance! taken as medicine. What s more some 15 per cent will experience "side effects. Psychosomatic studies have shown that not all these "place-l bo-reactors" are neurotic. In fact. he continued in a series of lec tures in the technical organ of; the Connecticut Medical Society, many of them are psychological ly normal they're responding to suggestion which everyone knows is a powerful psychologi cal tool. In effect, the physician is treat ing the ills of his patients' bodies by way of their minds when he resorts to "symbolic medication." For the short term it is as work able as the mind-treatment which psychiatrists apply to the emo tionally disturbed. D u r i I. g that short term of help, the physician has time to find out what if any thing is wrong physically. 'When a doctor prescribes a symbolic medication (or, for 'that matter, any medication,) in ef fect he is saying to his patient, I will take care ol you, Kauf man said. "Tile symbolic medica tion is a complex psychological cue which to the patient means lhat his doctor acting in good faith is providing the wisdom, emotional support and the healing substance that will make him well. "Symbolic medication" has to be used wisely, naturally it has to be fitted to individual patients, particularly to I heir emotional states which obscure the physical causes (if any) of the distressing symptoms that took them to a doctor. By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI-Like the vast majority of other people. I have gone through life without ever inventing anything except perhaps a few flimsy excuses. It is, therefore, a pleasure for me to join in the salutes being tendered this week to Dr. Ken neth R. Eldredge of Palo Alto, Calif., who is a member of the small minority. Eldredge has just been award ed the 3.000.000th patent issued by the U.S. Patent Office and thus has been firmly planted as a milestone in the annals of crea tive thinking. A ceremony attending the sign ing of his "letters patent" was held Tuesday in Die office of Pat ent Commissioner David L. Ladd. It was an impressive affair. Bounce Checks Faster Eldredge, a staff scientist at! the Stanford Research Institute, obtained the patent as the inven tor of an electronic instrument which makes it possible for banks to bounce checks faster than was hitherto possible. Actually, the machine does much more than just bounce, checks, but that is the part I found impressive. It means that some of us depositors who take a calculated risk now and then will have to start getting to the bank a little earlier on payday. ine machine was described :n a press release as being "no larg er than a watermelon," but Uiis is misleading. The model I saw on display in Ladd's office was somewhat bigger than a bread- box. It was no accident that El dredge received the 3.000,000lh patent. Ladd explained that rath er than leave the matter to hap penstance, tent officials shuf fled the pending applications around to make certain the hon or would fall to an invention they considered worthy of commemo ration. Pass Others Over In doing so, they passed over several other new inventions that I regard as equally deserving. Take, for instance, patent No. 2,999,263 issued to John Raymond Smith of Rockingham, N.C. It is a hair brush with a built- in vacuum cleaner for removing loose dandruff. Surely that is just as meritorious as a check boun ing machine. Other new inventions include a portable rest room, a combination dust pan and brush, and won der of wonders! a device lo keep dogs away from trees. These also are things the world long has needed. By mentioning them, however. I do not mean in any way to downgrade Eldredge's invention, the value of which was pointed up by a banking official who attend ed the ceremony. The banker said his bank be came interested in electronic check processing because of the big turnover in young women who previously were employed to han dle that chore. He said the girls usually stayed on the job only for a short period "between high school and-or mar riage and pregnancy." There is no danger of Eldredge's machine quitting work for either reason. it's Money That Kills SEATTLE (AP) They say you can't take money with you when you die, but a Woodland Park zoo seal proved them all wrong. Of course, it was the mon ey that killed him, but . . , Frank Vincenzi. zoo director. said Thursday an autopsy re-1 vcaled that the money-hungry seal died of copper poisoning aft er swallowing 321 pennies, 12 nickels, 8 dimes and 1 West Ger man Pfennig (penny). And then there were a button, a metal washer and 16 pebbles thrown In for good measure. It all came to 2 pounds 9tt ounces of dead literally weight in the animal's stomach. DANCES IN "GIDGET" HOLLYWOOD (UPD-The sin gle dance number Michael Callan had with Shirley Jones In "Pepe" prompted producer Jerry Bres ler to assign him three numbers in Columbia's "Gidget Goes Hawaiian." LEAP TO FREEDOM This photo which brought instant fame to German press pho tographer, Peter Leibing, landed on the world's front pages. The shot shows an East German border guard hurdling to freedom, and illustrates the perfect timing of a press cameraman's response in an emergency action. The picture dramatized the Ber lin crisis with the power of a visual editorial. It is press photography at its peak. Press Photography Exciting Job By IRVING DESFOR AP Newsfeatures Photo classroom, attention! Our topic this week is "Press Photography." What is the trend in press cam eras favored by newspaper pho tographers today? Are press pho tographers required to know dark room work? Do they have special lighting equipment? How do they tackle an assignment? What spe cial requirements should they have for sports photography? Must they know about color reproduction in newspapers? What are the legal restrictions in picture taking? And what are the job opportunities in photojournalism? It would take a book" by ex perts who know the field thorough ly to explain all these and other facets of press photography in imple down-to-earth language. Fortunately, the very thing need ed is at hand among the new pub lications "Press Photography" by Robert B. Rhode and Floyd H. Mc- Call (Macmillan. N.Y.). McCall. a 30-ycar-professional. is chief photographer of the Denver Post and was chairman of the edu cation committee of the National Press Photographers Association. Rhode, with a newspaper back ground as writer and photograph er, is an associate professor of journalism at the University of Colorado. Together, they explore the subject nd come up with the answers based on practical expe rience. II might well serve as a textbook for photo fans, high school and college journalism stu dents and newspapermen who would like to understand the photo graphy end of the business. There has been a change in the equipment of newspaper photogra phers in the past few years, par ticularly on the larger metropoli tan papers and the wire services. The old familiar trademark, the Speed Graphic, once the distin guishing badge of a press camera man, has been discarded for the twin-lens reflex or 35mm camera. Actually, there is no present "press camera." There is instead a press photographer who must be versatile enough to use any of today's modern equipment to get the most effective, storytelling pic ture for any assignment. Any camera is but a tool. Good photographers must know their tools thoroughly and be aware of when lo use each one for a spe cific job. which it can do best. They must also understand what takes place in the darkroom and be able to transform their efforts into negatives and prints even thourji there may be specialists who actually do the processing and printing. It's the understanding that will help them perform their picture taking job with greater certainly and perfection. Light is another essential tool in photography which the cameraman must learn to evaluate and con trol. In this area, experience is an invaluable aid but the modern press photographer no longer scorns the help of science in the shape of an exposure meter. This, too, was unheard of but a few short years ago. He must learn to judge light by its source, its in tensity, its direction and its mood. He must use natural or available light or add to it, if necessary, with electronic flash or the new. smaller flashbulbs. The goal? A storytelling picture in which the lighting helps convey the proper mood. Changes have taken place in pho tography and in photojournalism hut there are many more ahead predict the authors. Photographers must exercise their imaginations to a greater extent to avoid the old photo cliches. They must learn more about the world around them for a more complete understand ing of everything they photograph, for it is only through understand ing that they can interpret events through significant pictures.
