BALTIMORE, April 2-Production
in dogs of two fundamental types Of
neurosis common in humans was
reported to the American Physiological
Society. meeting here today. by DR..
w. Horsley CAN'T of Johns Hopkins
University.
The method used was that Of "con-
ditioning." A dog was taught to
discriminate between two tones of a
bell. If he responded to one tone
he was fed. A response to the other
meant punishment. Gradually the
tones were brought closer and closer
together until point was reached
where the dog no longer could make
clear discrimination.
Problem Too Difficult.
AS so often happens in human life.
the animal was faced with a problem
too difficult for it to solve The re-
suit was condition very close to an
anxiety neurosis," said to be the
prevalent human disorder, which stops
just short of insanity of the present.
Suddenly the dog would stop trying
to discriminate. There would be la
bored breathing. palpitation of the
heart and whining.
In one dog, DR.. CAN'T and his as
sociates reported today, the condi-
ton has lasted for five years with
no repetition of the original pro-
cedure. AS soon as the bell is sound
ed within this animals hearing, or
even as soon as it is placed in the
same environment, the same symp-
toms are repeated. Other dogs have
had nearly as bad records.
Of greatest significance for the un-
derstanding of mental disease, it was
reported, is the fact that the neurosis
soon spreads to other physiological
functions than those connected with
food. The evidence is that there is
archaeological unit, mind and body
working together in a disintegrative
process.
Experiments Similar.
The two types OF neuroSls were pro-
duced by very similar experiments.
The dogs ordinary activities were
punished until they became inhibited
Thus conflict was introduced be-
tween two deeply established habits.
This resulted in nervous break
downs very similar to two funda-
mental types seen in humans. and
which, in their extreme degrees, con-
stitute the two most prevalent types
of insanity. One way of meeting a
supposedly impossible situation is by
becoming overactive and aggressive
Another is to run away from it seek
ing refuge in solitude or sleep. The
first way, carried to its ultimate eX-
treme, is the manic-depressive type
of insanity. The second is schizo-
phrenia, or dementia precox.
DR.. CAN'T and his associates pro-
duced reactions in both these direc-
tions by the same sort of procedure
The way followed depended on the
temperament OF the dog itself. One
syndrome was made up of loud bark
ing. whining and biting. like the be-
havior of the manic. The other way

By the Associated Pr
MEXICO CITY, April 2.-Mexico
learned with relief today that trouble
with the United States over oil ex-
preparation was on the way toward
friendly settlement
But managers of the oil companies
nationalized were anything but graft
fed.
One charged bitterly that Wash
tngton let us down"
Another declared: eve might as
we'll have thanked President Cardenas
for expropriating our properties"
Mexicans, however, were generally
"comforted," as one observer phrased
1t, by United States recognition of
Mexico's right to appropriate foreign
owned property and willingness to see
the companies claims scaled down.
With national pride salved and in
cipient hostility toward the United
States checked, there arose new spec
ulation over how Mexico can solve her
problem of paying for the oil prop
critics.
One suggestion heard was that the
government, having established title
to the properties. rent" them back to
the II companies-13 of which we're

ing percentage of crude oil produced
for amortization of the debt
President Cardenas, in a note last
night to the United States, reiterated
his country's intention to compensate
the companies, but he gave no indica-
ton as to how it would be done.
Officials of the appropriated COM
panies valued American properties at
$150,000,000 Other foreign interests
in Mexico's oil industry mostly British,
were estimated at about 100000.

trical Workers announced that stop
pages in the cities of Tampico. Puebla,
Zacatecas, MaZatlan, Vera Cruz and
Gomez Palacio had been set for

The workers alleged abuses by en-
ployers and demanded wage increases.
At the same time the government
denied that any agreement had been
made with Francis w. Rickett, Brit
ish promoter, and Bernard E. Smith,
New York stock broker, for disposal
of Mexican petroleum.
The most serious problem confront
ing Mexico's nationalized oil industry
is to find foreign markets.

cession with Ethiopia in 1885, and Mr..
Smith declined to comment on the

 "The county has been saved sev- eral thousands dollars by the guilty plea and it is highly probable that at the end of long trial the best we could get was a second-degree verdict. That's what we have now The thing is all washed up."
 At county jail awaiting transfer to state prison to begin the con- pulsory sentence of life imprison- ment, Bathelt said in an interview that he pleaded guilty because he couldn't see my friends dragged down with me-"
 Bathelt pleaded guilty to second degree murder in Hampshire County courthouse yesterday and was sen- fenced immediately. Had he been convicted of first-degree murder, he would have faced a mandatory sen- tence of death in the electric chair.
 Married Heiress
 He slew Morris, 48-year-old race tipster and horse trader June 21, 1897, six days before his marriage to New York heiress after whirl- wind courtship, and entombed the body in the cement floor of a south Hadley camp.
 The murder was disclosed when he exhumed the body wrapped it in two bundles and tossed them into Connecticut river. One of the bun- dies was found exactly a year and day after the murder. State police planned to drag for the second to- day.
 It was theorized originally that the motive for the crime involved horse race bets. It also was known that Bathelt profted to the extent of at least $1,450 by the murder. He received $755 of the victims savings account when a default was entered against Morris in a court suit, and later sold Morris auto- mobile for $700.
