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.

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.

Three Millionth Patent Issued
By DLLOS SMITH
I'PI Science Editor
NEW YORK (UPI'-One physi
cian has shown all others how to
square the medical conscience
with the "placebo," a Latin word
meaning any substance pre-1
scribed as medicine which is a
chemical blank presumably inca
pable of doing anything for or
against a patient.
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

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.
