Hitler and MussOlini
Miss A Bet

Hitler and Mussolini missed a bet
when they overlooked Gest alt psy-
chology as a moans of justifying
their ruthless suppres sion of indi-
vidualism, Mrs. Pearl Weber, Uni
versity of Omaha psychologist, de-
clared today.
"The notion of the Gestaltists,
with fhtir emphasis on the whole
mcss' of things, could very easily
be used to support Fascist to-
talitarianism." said Mrs. Weber.
The Gestalt school of psychology
which was developed in Germany
before the World War, recently
has been gaining ground among
American psychologists. Gestal,ists
say that it is the 'whele' Of a thing
and no, its parts which is impor-
tant.
Foa example, a man must be
considered as a "whole" and not
as JUS a combination of arms,
legs, head, body, etc. No part of
his body is significant except as
it is a part of the man as a whole.
Moreover, safe the Gestalt'sts, a
man IS much more than merely the
UNI of his parts.
If this idea is carried over into
society, as it may be, according
ID some Gestaltists, the individual
loses hrs importance. Thus The
Fascists assert that the individual
or part) is not import ant-only
the state Tor whole) is important.

tween Gestalt and tOtalitarian

Jim Grow came into full view this
week at the Now Worlds Fair
when it was learned that separate
toilets for employees, marked "col-
ored" and white" have been set
up by Standards Brands Inc, in

Standard Brands includes such
well-known products, as Chase
and Sanborn's Coffee, Tender Leaf
Tea, Fleischmann's Yeast, Royal

Under 18-Month Rule
Are Ordered Anew
State Heads Told Pruning
To Be Done This Month;
$4,000 to Be Dropped

By the Associated Press
State w. P. A. administrators got
new orders today to cut from the
Work Relief rolls all persons who had
been on them continuously for 18
months or more. War veterans are
exempt.
The dismissals were required by
the Relief Act recently passed by
Congress, but had been suspended
while the possibility remained that
Congress would ease the require
ments. A proposal to revise the
law was defeated last week.
With the adjournment of Congress,
Col. F. G. Harrington, the Works
Projects commissioner, telegraphed
his State aides that the dismissals
must be effected by August 81. Others
must be dismissed, he added, as they
reached the 18-month deadline for
w. p. A. service.
Persons discharged because of the
18-month rule will not be rehired for
80 days. Then they must be certi-
