Jews Rarely Alcoholic,
Psychiatrist Finds

BOSTON (JTA)-The Jew rare
ly becomes drunkard because of
the hatred of alcoholics which is
part of his social tradition, accord
ing to study made by DR.. Alb
raham Myerson, director of the
Psychiatric Research Division of
the Boston State Hospital. DR..
Myerson, who recently addressed
a scientific convention in Atlantic
City, N. j., on ''The Social Psy-
chology of Alcoholism" said in
his paper that although the Jew
suffers as much as anyone from
painful psychological states and
responds like members of other
races to the effects of drink, the
Jew seldom drinks to excess.
II believe the answer to lie,"
he said, "in the social tradition
of the Jew in respect to alcohol.
Jews are rarely total abstainers.
There are no Jewish total abstain
ence societies, and not even any
Jewish temperance societies. But
nowheres and amongst no people
is there more contempt, loathing
and even hatred for the alcoholic.
"The term Err list Elm Shikur'
(He is a drunkard) designates an
individual whom no responsible
girl will marry, whom no business
man will employ, who loses his
friends, who is condemned in
harsh and unsparing terms. To
be a drunkard is to cease being a
Jew, is to leave the fold of Jewry
or to be pushed out.
"The attitude is that it is en-
tirely unworthy of a Jew, man or
woman, to get drunk, and while
amongst the younger Jews get
ting tight is not regarded with
the same loathing and contempt
as amongst the elder Jews, never
thelesS the tradition holds over
and operates very strongly against
alcoholism of a chronic or recur-
ring type"

Put O'Hara Back Committee Works At 'Gansett Track

Providence, R. l., Jan. 16-(UP)- Supporters of Walter E. O'Hara, de- posed president and managing direc- tor of Narragansett Park Horse Rac- ing track, have demanded that a stockholders meeting be called to consider his reelection.
 O'Hara's successor, Judge James E. Dooley, has promised to answer the request next Saturday. Should the answer be unfavorable, William L. Taub of Atlantic City, N. J., chair man of the "OHara reflection con- mittee," said he would ask the courts to order such meeting.
 O'Hara resigned as $75,000-a-year head of Narragansett year ago as stockholders were preparing to oust him for his feud with Governor Robert E. Quinn, a tiff that was climaxed by Quinn's declaration of martial law to prevent holding of the 1886 meet at the track.
 Taub said that holders of 172,217 shares of the associations stock had replied to letter sent by the com- mittee in which support of the move was asked and that owners of 169, IF of these shares replied favorably.
 It also was disclosed by Taub that a Californai group had indicated a desire to buy control of the track. Though Taub declined to say whether such purchase might be eliminated, he said that one stipu- lation would be that O'Hara be man. aging director.

WILDCATS WON. FROM SCHOFIELD. SQUAD 40 TO 34.
Reserves Win Game for Wildcats-Naugatuck
 Here Wednesday
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

With Crosby taking on the Valley League leaders from Naugatuck on Wednesday in this city and Wilby going to the borough Saturday some stellar high school basketball can be looked for, but regardless of what happens, it can hardly provide the hoop thrills that came from the Crosby-Wilb game Saturday nCht which was won by Wilby 40-34 De- fore the largest crowd in years which saw the best game played by the lo- cal rivals since 1880.
 Wilby won, thanks to some great work by three reserves, Sonny Rim aldi, Eddie Bartkus and Jackie Brickel who not only scored IS points between them but kept possession of the ball when it counted most and the team was "in the clutch" during sizzling fourth period in which the Crosby team tired and handicapped when 1t lost Captain Jimmy Day on personal fouls. Will by's captain Buggy McGrath also drew disqualification for the same reason. which is where Rinaldi came into the picture, and was fol- lowed by Bartkus who ran the Cros- by boys into the ground while SCOT ing five points in about four min- utes. Brickels floor work and passing was invaluable in addition to his five points after coming out of the preliminary game, with four points and 32 minutes of play.
 Crosby started in whirlwind fash ion scored a 12-7 lead in the first period, which Wilby cut down to an 1915 count at half time but Crosby held the Wildcats at bay until mid- way in the final heat when Wilby came on with a great scoring splurge and fresh reserves to out score Crosby and win going away though Crosby's Roland and Carr made themselves felt while they were in the game.
 The game, nicely handled by Phil CaSman and Albie Booth attracted the largest crowd in years, close to HOO customers being on hand for the first whistle of the big game. Summary:

Naugatuck, Jan. 16-The Nauga- tuck High school hoop team. leaders of the Naugatuck Valley league by virtue of its 35-33 win over Torring- ton Saturday night here meets Crosby High of Waterbury, its an- cient rival Wednesday night, in Waterbury. It will be the first game the Foleymen have played away from home this season.
 Although Naugatuck may be the favorite, the outcome of game be- tween these schools is always in doubt and the game is expected to be a thriller. It will not be likely to top for excitement the game here against Torrington Saturday when the Garnet came rom behind in the final period and held by an eyelash to its lead until the final whistle blew.
 Visitors Lead
 Torrington showed superiority in the first half with smooth-work- ing team which ran up an 1913 lead but in the third period Nauga- tuck began to chop into the lead. Basket by Loman, Dunn and Farrar, foul shot by Cuddy enabled Nau- gatuck to take a 24-23 read and al- though Torrington went ahead, Farrar countered with a neat toss to give the Garnet 27-26 lead at the end of the third period.
 The last period had the crowd roaring. Samele tallied 8 field goal to give the visitors a one-point advantage but Naugatuck went ahead with Dunn shooting one in. Czaplick added another basket and although Torrington later tied the score, Naugatuck was never headed after that. Loman sank field goal Farrar shot a foul try, Bonjai of the visitors made it close with basket but Czaplick made good on a foul try and the game ended five seconds later. Bonyai of Torrington and Loman of Naugatuck each scored 12 points.
 The Torrington reserves edged the Naugatuck reserves 39-37, second half rally by the Garnet just falling short, Torrington led 25-17 at half-time.
