Psychotrists Say Sex OHenses
Can Impair Futures of Victims

Two leading psychiatrists agreed
today that sex offenses against chill
dren classed as minor under District
laws can affect child's mind Sc
verely enough to impair the child's
chances of a happy life.
Both DR.. Winfred Overholser,
superintendent of st. Elizabeths
Hospital, and DR.. Sidney Berman,
director of the Institute Of Mental
Hygiene, cited cases where adults
are still suffering the effects of a
childhood experience.
Attacks of this sort are often
permanent in their results" DR..
Overholser declared. "Psychiatrists
not infrequenNy find cases where
the effects of attacks have impaired
the whole future development of the
victim or else remained in the I'M
conscious to crop out later in the
form of painful symptoms in the
course of mental illnesses"
Parents Given Warning.
DR.. Berman emphasized that un-
less parents control their own feel
ings of mental anguish after a child
has suffered such an experience,
the "childs emotional development
can be distorted to affect the child's
future happiness.
Experiences with these offenders,
DR.. Berman said, are so potentially
harmful to the young victims that
both the child and its parents should
have psychological guidance to
minimize the emotional damage Of
the episode.
Offenses against children, short Of
rape and hard-to-proye sodomy, are
now classed as misdemeanors pun
ishable by short jail terms or light
fines under District Laws. The United
States Attorneys office is now
working on a statute which would
carry severe penalties for persons
molesting children.
:, > Committee to Meet.
A special District Bar Association
committee, established to. assist in
the drafting of stronger law deal
ing with sex offenders, will hold its
first meeting tomorrow at 2 pm. in
the bar association Office at 1881 G
street NV.
What are now considered minor
ofenses," commented DR.. Berman,
"can be major offenses in their
damaging effect on a child"
He cited the case of 37-year-old
woman who came to the institute
complaining of sleeplessness and
disturbing dreams. She wanted a
home and family but she uncon-
sciously moved away from all social
contacts that might lead to mar
riage. Her circle of friends con-
sisted of unmarried >women just as
unhappy as she was.
Dr.. Berman discovered that when
she was 5 years old she was the
victim in an indecent exposure case.
He explained that she could not
bring herself to marriage because

HEIFETZ AND BAER
CLOWN FOR CHARITY

During the war when Sam Heif-
etz, E. 9th, hit shore for a few
days in Calf. after strenuous con-
voying chores, his old friend Max
Baer, former heavyweight champ,
insisted that they put on a benefit
at the Hollywood U. S. o. They
were snapped in the above pose.
Heifetz, who was in the Navy
for three years as a boatswain's
mate, is now in business with his
father-in-law, Louis Edelberg,
featuring painting, decorating,
signs, wall-papering, etc.
AS member of the crew of
destroyer DD-247 which roamed
all over the oceans looking for
trouble, Heifetz had plenty of
interesting experiences.
For a short time he was MEM
Der of the "Green Paint Squad
ron" which accounted for the bag
ging of plenty of submarines.
Here's the way the Green Paint
Squadron" operated: when the
destroyer caught the sound of
submarine motors in it's vicinity,
it Immediately tossed overheard
barrels of green paint. The sub
marine, through it's periScope,
seeing the green paint on t h e
waters surface, instantly figured
that their torpedo had sunk anoth-
er ship, and began surfacing.
AS soon as sub came near the
surface, the green paint would get
all over it's periscope so they be-
lieved they were still under water,
and kept on coming up, much
further than they really intended.
AS soon as they hit surface, the
Green Paint Squadron" would
be all over them with anti-aircraft
guns and force them to surrender
in great surprise.
Heifetz was born in Brooklyn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heifetz are proudest
of their beautiful 18-month old
daughter, born in N. Y. c.

Rabbi Breger was asked for a
statement. He replied he had no
comment to make.
Meyer Cohen in response to in
quiry said with this ordinance,
we would have a kosher food law,
that when one advertised kosher,
we would know it was kosher
and not Wool pulled over our
ewes. Other cities have it. We
have it in Florida. I feel that a
town like this with so many
strangers and tourists should be
guided by the sign they see. This
law will make it mean what 1t
says"
Mr.. Irwin Cohen who spoke Ill
opposition to kosher ordinance
made a statement to the Arizona
Post as follows: "The ordinance
provides that in general that
any establishment where kosher
food is dispensed, all rules OF
koshroth are to be observed.
'How would such an ordinance
be enforced?" he continued. EN-
forcement could only be by the
Synagogue. In getting that right
they are given a power they
shouldn't have. They could dictate
who could go in business
could stay in business. In large
city there is no such danger. II
one synagogue or organization re-
fuses, another one will approve"
Mr.. Cohen is a builder, though
not active in it at present.
Harry Shift, president of Con-
gregation Anshei Israel, told the
Post: "The Synagogue is vitally
interested that there should not
be Misrepresentation on the part
of any tradespeople to advertise
that they are selling kosher pro-
ducts or serving kosher food.
Therefore, we are anxious to pass
this ordinance making such rep
resentation a misdemeanor.
"Those that misrepresent should
be punished by law. Even though,
under the religious jurisdiction OF
Rabbi Breger enforcement could
be made by publication, we want
to go further than that and have
legal procedures"
Joe Fishman, also present at
the Council meeting and las t
years president of Congregation
Anshei Israel replied when asked
for an opinion as follows: I am
hoping that the city OF Tucson
will pass the koher ordinance be-
cause I believe that it is the only
way that those who want to keep
koshroth, according to the Jewish
laws, can be assured they will not
be misled by wrong signs or ad-
vertisements"
Readers of the Arizona Post
are invited to give their opinion
in favor or against this ordinance.
