The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-10

Andrew Salter, native of Water bury, and founder of one-nan school of auto-hypnotic therapeu- tics currently enjoying a tremendous vogue, is the subject of lengthy essay in the latest issue of Life mag aNne.
 The 27-year-old psychologist, Francis Sill Wickware, author of the article reveals, is the son of a local watchmaker. Three uncles, also res- idents of this city, practiced the same trade.
 Salter, who without benefit of @ medical degree has succeeded in making members of vne profession sit up and take notice, attended primary schools in Waterbury, and in early days showed aptitudes for unraveling cryptograms and com posing poetry. The latter tendency earned him a Christmas card from Robert Frost, noted New England poet.
 Later Salter studied psychology at New York University, with the end in view of becoming professor in that subject. Impatient to begin independent research into his new ly-acquired interest, hypnosis, he abandoned the regular curriculum, and embarked upon exhaustive, pri- vate studies of his own.
 The outcome of Salter's solitary investigations was the discovery that a subject could be taught to hypnotize himself, and by the ap- plication of hypnotic and post-hyp- notic suggestion could cure himself of neurotic impediments like stut- tering, insomnia and excessive tip- bling.
 Testifying to the immediate popu- larity enjoyed by his findings, is the fact that Salter no wcommandS fees ranging from $500 to $750 @ case.
 His methods are comparatively simple. Salter Long ago discovered that when psychiatrist planted 6 suggestion in the mind of a sub- ject in g hypnotic trance, the cure of the psychoneurosis was effective, but of only short duration. When the influence of the suggestion wore off, which 1t inevitably did, the patient was obliged to return for further treatment.
 This process, repeated over a fairly long period of time, tended to make the subject undersirably dependent upon the hypnotist, and in addition was costly and incon- venie1lt.
 Like many another pioneer in the rigidly conventionalized fields of science, Salter, owning no doctorate, encountered much difficulty in ob- taing professional recognition of his achievement. Finally, through the good offices ef Professor Clark Leonard Hull of the Yale Psychol- ogy department, the results Of hif research were published in an issue of tlaa Journal os General PBychoi.

.Arias Sailing Home
In Face Of Possible
Arrest or Exile
so Seized During Coup
Being Freed os Peril
Of Revolt Diminishes
BY the Associated Press.

PANAMA CITY, Panama, Oct.
11.-Dr. Arnulfo Arias, ousted as
president of Panama in a bloodlesS
coup Tuesday while he was in Cuba,
sailed toward home tonight facing
possible arrest or exile under one of
his own laws.
Most informed sources predicted
his arrest, and some said he could
be sent forever from the country
under the law he had sponsored
permitting exile of Panamanians.
Meanwhile, as the danger OF
armed opposition to the new
Panama regime dwindled, au-
thorities began the release of more
than so persons arrested during the
coup. Among these were members
of the staff of DR.. AriaS' newspaper,
La Tribuna.
DR.. Arias sailed abroad the
steamship Cefalu of the Standard
Fruit Steamship Line of New
Orleans.
Police Make Inquiries.
Official reaction to the ousted
presidents proposed return here was
not available Immediately. but it
was learned that the Panamanian
secret police had made inquiries as
to whether the Cefalu was stopping
between Cuba and Panama.
Unofficial quarters believed DR..
Arias might be asked to postpone
his homecoming.
In Havana, the operators of the
ship said she would go direct to
Cristobal in the Canal Zone. No
request to deviate has been made, 1t
was added.
Presumably, however, DR.. Arias
might tarry in the Canal Zone or
fv from there to Costa Rica,
Panama's western neighbor, II
pressed 10 do SO by the new
Panamanian regime.
Nav Go to Costa Rica.
The newspaper Diario de Costa
Rica of San Jose last night quoted
DR.. Arias as saying he was con-
sidering going to Costa Rica after
having been refused permission to
return to Panama.
The treasurer OF Panama Clty
| Alcibiades Arosemena. who was In
Cuba buying cattle during Thurs
days coup accompanied DR.. Arlas
on his departure from Havana.
Panamas new President, Ricardo
Adolfo de la Guardia, said formally
we have had no communication re-
garding DR. Arias' return, and there
| fore l am unable to comment off,
cially."
A source close to the new govern
ment head said, however Il cannot
see how he can be allowed to come
| back now"
The general feeling in government
| circles was that the new admins
tration would ask Canal Zone au-
thorities to refuse DR.. Arias permis-
sion to land when his ship docks at
CriStobal.
President de la Guardia disclosed
| that he had summoned cabinet
meeting for Monday morning to
study the question of arming Pa
namanian vessels used in the war

Pct. Tire Price Boost

Price Administrator Leon Hen

notified tire manufacturers they
could increase consumer prices on
tires and tubes by as much as 9 per
cent over June 16 levels without
objection from him.
Manufacturers will be required to
clear their new price schedules with
the Office of Price Administration
so that the increase will not be-
come effective until about October
20, the announcement stated.
The action, it was explained, was
taken as a result of higher costs for

per cent in wholesale prices ap-
proved by the o. P. A. late in July.
