Head Hunters of New Guinea Are
Particular About Child Training

Except for some of the youths
who have recently adopted the Gus
tom from the whites, neither men
nor women of this tribe wear
clothes of any kind. But they have
developed an elaborate etiquette
of modesty which demands that no
one stare at a person of the OPP
posite sex, Doctor Whiting found.
Men and women, therefore, on the
occasion of social visit, sit fac
ing in opposite directions carrying
on conversation over their
shoulders.
Living in scattered hamlets on
the sides of steep mountain ridge,
these primitives have developed a
system of communication to over
come the barriers of distance. They
beat messages in a telegraph-like
code on huge wooden gongs. On one
occasion three or four men were
sitting by the fire in front of Doc
tor Writings matched hut when a
gong was heard beating down the
mountainside. One of the men rose
with a sigh and trudged off-his
wife was irately demanding why
he was out so late.-Science SerV-

EADHUNTERS of New Guinea


A. going without clothing, yet
very particular about training their
children in habits of cleanliness
and modesty, were the subject of
study by DR.. John Whiting and S.
w. Reed, graduate students of Yale
university, who lived for seven
months among a small primitive
tribe of less than 400 persons in a
mountain range far up the Sepik
river.
Spankings and rewards are the
basis of child discipline among
these primitives, the Yale investi-
gators discovered, but early in life
the child learns to recognize a
word of praise or scolding as an
effective substitute for physical
punishment or caress.
Food taboos and cleanliness are
taught early in childhood and these
morals" are almost never neg
lected in after life, they found.
Sexual and aggressive activities
are controlled primarily at Adde'S
cence and later, and the restric-
tons in these matters are never so
binding-they are quite often
violated.
The tribe still hunt human heads
and Doctor Whiting participated
in spear dance which the natives
performed before setting out on a
raid against a neighboring tribe.
No male is accepted as being fully
adult and manly unless he has &C.
complished the feat of spearing an
enemy and bringing back his head
as trophy, Doctor Whiting said.
The tribe live on the produce of
their yam gardens, the boiled pith
of the sage palm, and the roasted
meat of the wild pig. Snakes and
lizards also form part of their
diet, and roasted white grubs are
considered delicacy. Doctor Whit
ing and Mr.. Reed found it difficult
to overcome their own food pref
udices when the grubs were served
them, but were surprised to find
that they were Indeed excellent. I"

TAXATION:
Profit Sharing

Last autumn a special senate
committee inspired by Michigan's
presidency-aspiring Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg began studying profit
sharing as a means of curing CAPT.
tal-labor trouble. The basic idea:
Industrialists would get tax credits
for sharing their profits or (if re-
garded in another Light would be
penalized if they did not share prof
its). Though pointedly socialistic,
the idea caught fire when one wit
ness after another told how profit
sharing had worked successfully.
Soon Republican Vandenberg's idea
began looking good to his Demo-
cratic colleagues, Iowa's Sen. Clyde
Herring and Colorado's Edwin C.
Johnson, both Of whom knew the
administration needed a clever card
trick to soothe tax-irritated bust
ness.
BY mid-June Mr.. Vandenberg had
lost the ball entirely, for Senators
Herring and johnson issued the
committees cautiously worded re-
port. It's gist was that some "pru-
dent experiment" in incentive tax
alton could be tried Gin the spirit
of exploration. Points with crit
les concensus in italics):
/. Exemption from all income
taxes of the payments industrialists
make to employees from accumulat-
ed proft-sharing retirement funds
or annuities. Good idea Although it
would temporarily make social security a
duplication, that agency iOould eventually
grop smaller as provision for old age re-
turned to private hands,
2. Issuance and sale of govern
ment proft-sharing bonds which
would be available only to profit
sharing funds and would be issued
for the purpose of protecting invest
ments by employees. Good and bad.

eminent expendimres.J
Essentially a successful idea in
private application, profit sharing
will probably be boosted by both
Democrats and Republicans in the
next campaign. Chief issue (and no
one yet knows which party will take
which side) will be on the applica-
ton of government incentive taxa
ton. Said the report:
Zone school of thought insists that
the taxing power should never be
used for either incentive or punt
tive purposes, and that one is the
complement of the other. The other
school of thought insists that we al
ready have the punitive tax and that
confronting condition rather
than a theory-we should also have
the incentive tax, either as an Offset
or a substitute"
