debt increasing at a rate which
will put it beyond the ceiling set
by law-$275 billion-by June 80
1858.

ther into debt, thereby boosting in
terest payments $500 million a year
At present the taxpayers are sock
ed S6.2 billion year just to pay
the interest on the federal debt
Irony is that this colossal debt
is swollen by waste, then COM
pounded by interest payments on
the waste. A strong Army, Navy
and Air Force are absolutely es-
sential, but they can defeat the
nation they are built to defend if
the nation goes bankrupt. The fol-
lowing illustrations of Army waste
are not meant as reflection on
the many thousands of patriotic
officers and men who are trying
to save money, but rather TO TO-
Gus attention on those who are not.
Anyway, here are some things the

lydallied, let prices go up, finally
bought the same boot for a high

shoe costs $6.08. They are almost
identical except for some stitch

bought 100000 dress shoes, thus
could have saved $1,700,0O0 if it
had bought the Navy's shoe. The
Army buys sheet metal by the

the Air Force buys it by the square

each other. Yet the dollars all

Much Neurotic Teusion Today
Is Caused By individuals Trying
to Adhere To Ideals of King
I. Arthur's Time.
DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Your
correspondent j. E. January 23),
speaking from 38 years professional
work in the field of human rela'-
tions, says men are becoming more
passive or feminine, and women
more aggressive or masculine, at
least in our society. And he sees
this as the source of many of the
ills of family life. accelerating the
rise of neurotic disorders.
j. E. argues that family stability
and the welfare of children depend
upon the degree of real femininity,
true masculinity and emotional ma
turity in parents. And to curb the
trend towards neuter gender, he in
sists that young people should be
fully informed concerning the at
tributes of real masculinity in a
husband and father. His observa-
tions do indeed deserve a hearing
but you have forcussed precisely
on the flaw in his treatise when
you ask "How about defining
basic rnasculinity for our readers"
Masculine and feminine charac-
ter, aside from the biologic fun
ction, are for the most part cul-
turally determined. And in a
changing society like ours, the role
of the sexes naturally is changing
also which largely accounts for
the phenomenon J. E. reports.
Much neurotic distress today is
caused by individuals trying to adj
here to cultural ideals of King
Arthur's times, when the twentieth
century situation seems to call for
radically different behavior. Thus
to lecture young people on real
mascuiinity, in terms Of rigid or
obsolete criteria, is to increase
confusion instead of giving light.
SELF AWARE PERSON
RETAINS INTEGRITY
For example. the fellow who be-
lieves that to be manly Is to be
tough, aggressive, dominant. ETC.,
Is forced to dissociate himself
from feelings of tenderness or SEN
sitiyity. Or another may feel OBJ
liged to act polite or chivalrous in
circumstances that call for sterner
measures. Similarly a woman who
thinks she must be sweetly SUBJ
missive is constantly at war with
herself in a situation where she
should talk turkey. These are the
emasculated, Intellectual people that
j. E. discusses, the anxious
neurotics who have lost their in
tegrity, due to having denied a
truly constructive part of them
selves.
The solution to the problem is
not simply to teach what eis mas
culine or feminine: not to provide
children with idealized sex-types
of parent figures, with whom to
identify. Rather, good parents are
those who recognize and utilize
their desirable and constructive
