TOGO to Seed in Middle Life

DR.. English stated, people should
think about what they can do to
bring about improvement.
They should ask themselves
what new skills and activities
could be learned which would
make life more meaningful now
as well as later" he said.
They should stop to consider
what they can do for other peo-
pie which would improve the sense
Of well-being of these other people
instead of wishing so much OF
the time for something to come
along and make them feel better
Old Age After 10.
"The philosophy of learning
growing, expanding and develop
ing mentally should become a
more prevalent working concept ir
our culture" he declared.
Biologically. middle age could be
placed between the ages of 40 and
10, with old age after 10, he said
Psychologically, middle age could
be described as starting after the
period Of academic and technical
preparation and thus cover the
greatest period of physical activity
and Of mental productivity.
DR.. English pointed out that the
problems of middle life center
around work advancement and
prestige, success and satisfaction

OF an interesting and challenging
life.

PHILADELPHIA, April 10
(NANA) Too many people "go
to seed" psychologically in their
sos and 40s. DR.. O. Spurgeon
English, professor of psychiatry
at Temple University, believes.
The situation could be pre-
vented by a greater emphasis on
mental growth, expansion and
development throughout life, he
said.
"One of the most important de-
cisions a human being has to
make concerns his attitude
toward the second half of life, "
DR.. English declared.
TOO many people Of 40 are
settled, SNUG, emotionally apa-
thetic, uninspired and impose
middle-age fear and pessimism on
the young.
TOO many people, while ad-
vancing through the years go to
seed during their third and fourth
decade. People fear too much
friendliness. too much adventure
It's Easier to Complain.
TOO many people want life to
make them happy and contended,
whereas they refuse to give
thought and study to how one
might find life more satisfying
and rewarding. It is easier to
criticize and complain"

Patterson CONTEMPT
Arguments Marked by
Courtroom Fireworks

Final arguments in the William
L. Patterson contempt of Congress
trial today wound up in "a furry
|of courtroom fireworks in which
the trial judge admonished defense
counsel against ''inflammatory
remarks" to the jury.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff was
due to charge the jury after the
luncheon recess in the case in
which Patterson, colored, executive
secretary Of the Civil Rights Con-
gresss. is charged with refusing to
provide records to a subcommittee
OF the House Lobby Investigating
Committee last August.
Defense Attorney Vito Marcan-
tonic started his closing argument
by accusing Representative Lam
ham, Democrat of Georgia. acting
chairman of the committee, Of
framing" his client at the hear
ings.
Refers to Stormy Hearing.
The lawyer referred to the
stormy closing session of the Au-
gust 4 hearings in which Mr.. Lam
ham made move toward Mr..
Patterson after the witness called
him liar. Earlier, Mr.. Marcan-
tonic said the Congressman had
called the witness a "vile name"
"The hearing was abruptly
terminated only because the act
ing committee chairman could
get away with it," Mr.. Marcan-
tonic shouted to the jury.
He added that even when the
Congressman was on the court
witness stand yesterday testifying
about the episode, "he could not
refer to Mr.. Patterson as negro
but used the word 'nigra.'"
AS the lawyer enunciated the
last statement he pounded each
word home by slamming the edge
OF the jury box.
Please don't pound the furni-
ture." Judge Holtzoff interjected.
Judge Warns Marcantonio.
Whereupon. his voice still raised
at high pitch, Mr.. Marcantonio
rejoined: "The rights and dignity
OF human beings are more impor-
tant than the furniture.
Judge Holtzof redeemed at this
and sternly warned the lawyer to
stop making infammatory re-
marks or I will have to make YOU
STOP"
Assistant United States Attor-
ney William Hitz earlier had told
the jury not to be distracted"
from the real issues of the case
which. he said, narrowed down to
question of whether Patterson
had willfully refused to hand over
to the committee the records it
had subpoenaed.
Judge Holtzof late yesterday
threw out .one count of the two
count indictment.
The count ruled out charged
Patterson with failing to produce
the records on August 3 when
he had accepted a subpoena di-
reeted to the organization itself.

termed chronic intestinal con-
dition."
One of Mr.. Rosoff's boasts was
that he never went to school. But
he made and lost several fortunes
and was rich when he died, al
though he said it was fun to make
money, not to keep it.
Mr.. Rosoff left his native Rus
sia as a youth after his father
died. He worked his way to Eng
land on a cattle boat.
Came to u. s. in 1900's.
He arrived in the United States
in the early 1900's and since then
had:
Worked as a candy and news
paper butcher on trains;
Made some money raising a
sunken vessel in the Gulf Of St.
Lawrence-then lost it all on a
flyer in Irish potatoes.
Using what one biographer
called gall and promissory notes, I"
turned a 5000, 900 profit by buying
Iup scrap stone from quarries and
selling it for use in Cape Cod
Canal breakwaters.
Built what is believed to have
been more miles of subway than
any other man.
Constructed roads. canals, aque-
ducts and water tunnels in many
countries.
Turned down a Russian offer of
5000 million to build subways and
a water system in Moscow.
Scrapped Railway for Metal.
Scrapped 41-mile railroad he
owned (the Delaware & Northern)
for metal for World War II guns.
Invested millions in such things
as excursion boat lines. lumber
mills, railroads. breweries. racing
stables and Broadway shows.
II haven't got any education, -
he once said. What got is
what it takes to make guys with
an education do the job I want
DONE"
Nearing completion here is one
of his last jobs-the construction
of a 17-mile tunnel under North
Baltimore and its suburbs that
win link the city's water supply
system with the Patapsco River.
He described the 5000. 900 un-
dertaking as a rather small job
as such projects go.
Much of the network of subways
honeycombing the rock UNDER
meath New York City was built by
Mr.. Rosof and his "sandhogs."
Had Quarrel With "Sandhogs."
He was frequently accused Of
Using political contacts to get his
contracts. On this subject he once
told q reporter:
II am a member Of Tammany
Hall and proud Of it. am a MEM
ber Of the Republican Party, and
proud Of it. When I donate, I
donate to both"
He had quarrel with a leader
of the "sandhogs"- men who
dug his tunnels-in 1887. A few
days later r. Norman Redwood,
Ithe union leader with whom he
had argued, was shot to death as
he stepped out Of an automobile
in front of his New Jersey home.
Mr.. Rosoff was picked up in
New York as a material witness.
He was soon released. Later he
offered a 5000 reward for in
formation about Mr.. Redwood's s
death. The crime has never been
solved.
In recent years much Of his
buying and building has been in
Mexico.
He is survived by his widow and
two sons, Stanley Rosoff of
Stevenson, Md. and Nathanial
Rosoff Of New York.
Funeral services will be held
Thursday at Riverside Memorial
Chapel, New York. Burial will be
in Mount Lebanon Cemetery,
