HOW TO UNDERSTAND A TEEN-AGER
Continued fross page fourteen

the warm family circle then and is on the
road to becoming well-adjusted adult. The
l6-year-old boy and girl may even lavish
respect and affection on their parents.
Not only parents but the l6-year-olds
themselves - especially girls - are now
conscious of the great improvement in their
attitudes Typical was l6-year-old girl
who confessed. II didn't treat my mother
very well last year but we're getting on lot
better now"
Yet because they are still immature in
judgment, l6-year -olds shouldn't be given
too much responsibility.
WHY do these year-to-year adolescent
swings take place? That's one of the great
mysteries of growth. explains psychologist
Louise Bates Ames, the Gesell Institutes
dynamic director of research. Science hasn't
answered this important question yet but
has just begun to describe it,"
OF course. the swings needn't be as violent
as the preceding l0-l6 chart sometimes inn
plies. But, surprisingly. well-balanced and
'superior" adolescents often show the swings
more definitely. BY contrast. in many mar
ticulate adolescents of different endowment,
these behavior changes may be hardly
noticeable.
All of the Gesell scientists findings didn't
come out of their laboratories They sup
plemented their studies by observing their
own children IN action. DR.. Cesell has mar
RED son and daughter and five grandchildren
- four Of whom are adolescents.
Parents always seem to be relieved when
they find out we have children of our own,"
laughs Dr. Ames, who with Dr. Ilg now
writes sprightly child-behavior newspaper
column. DR.. Ilg's l6-year-old daughter once
complained to her, You understand me too
mach, Mother!''
Foux Peints Seg Paxens
HERE are four constructive conclusions
emerging from the Gesell adolescent study:
I. Even in happy. well-adjusted families,
there exists greater rebellion against mothers
than against fathers, especially by teen-age
sons. This means that fathers have greater
opportunity to help. and therefore greater
responsibility toward their adolescents'
well-being than they generally realize.
Z. 1t doesn't help much to combat teen
age craze at it's height. It's wiser for parent
to wait until the craze Gains down.
;. Parents shouldn't think of adolescent
ages simply in terms of good" and bad"
They should try to understand them in terms
Of growth. Adolescent growth doesn't run in
straight line: it shuttles back and forth. If
fathers and mothers know in advance some
thing Of what to expect in trends and stages,
they won't blame or punish their children
unwisely. or feel they're losing their grip as
parents.
One Of the commonest mistakes parents
make is expecting too much. The Gesell
Institutes new adolescent study is actually
sort of road map showing parents roughly
what to expect and when to expect it. If

also greatly reduced. Western programs are
out.
Thirteen isn't the age to work up an in
innate relation with a child. And wise par
ents don't pry into their youngsters secrets
then. It's smart to keep out" at this age
when they don't want you. IF you try to
follow them too far in their retirement, the
l3-year-old may build up a resentment
against you"

alities, the appetites of l4-year-olds for ex-
periences are Unsuitable. These teen-agers
tend to be all over the place and every place
at once. Bursting with enthusiasm for school
activities. intellectual problems and great
causes, they can hardly find time to do the
things they want. Their schedules keep them
busy from morning to midnight. Now becom-
ing adjusted to our culture. they want re-
sponsibility but aren't quite ready for it.
They are often uncomfortable with grown
ups because they are neither grown-up them

Ifyou have l4-year-old. you may expect
your child to display variety of gestures
such as waving arms, swinging legs, shouting
and just plain getting IN everybody's way.
Fouteen-year- girls. at least by their own
account, conform better than boys.
Very few appreciate their parents at this
age Your jokes are dismissed as terrible, the
family car is appraised as rattle trap and
both of you are considered hopelessly old
fashioned. Moreover. these teen-agers are
obsessed with the idea that they don't have
the privileges of other boys and girls of their
age. Fourteen-year-olds are also beginning
to depart from parental standards in decid-
ing what is right and wrong. And they are
now evaluating you effectively.
And something to bear in mind: part of
their criticism is probably justified. lisa
good time to check up on yourself!
The ls-Ysaz-0ld
HE teen-ager is now becoming neater espe-
cially where clothes are concerned.
But Is is the age period when your child is
farthest away from you. Your son can look
you straight in the eye and ask: Were you
talking to me?" Your daughter can sit in the
same room and yet be absent. When boys
and girls of this age speak, it frequently to
argue with their parents. teachers or other
15-year-olds. Nearly all children are more
argumentative at fifteen than during the
preceding years"
What can parents do at this somewhat
negative age? Don't ask too many ques-
tons, appear disinterested and refrain from
offering advice unless it is asked for" This
l5-year-old behavior is all perfectly natural

Schine. unlike other recruits
during the basic training period,
was permitted to leave evenings
and receive weekend passes.
Secretary Stevens was quoted
as saying that, If necessary, Pvt,
Schine would be permitted to
leave the post on week-ends to
carry on his work as an unpaid
censultant to the Mccarthy SUBJ
committee.

Mr.. Stevens also said. the re-

The report said that on De-

telephoned the Pentagon and
said that "the matter of han

increasingly difficult since the
soldier was leaving the post

Gen. Ryan was quoted as add
ing that unless Secretary Stew

young Schine's passes on week

Gen. Ryan was informed, the
report said, that from that mo-

Secretary was concerned, Schine
was no longer available for the

also was reported as trying to

Shown In Dual Role.
The report pictured Senator
Mccarthy as playing a sort Of
double role regarding young
Schine. urging special treatment
for him when Mr.. Cohn was
present. and taking a different
attitude when his chief counsel
was elsewhere
The report quoted Senator
Mccarthy as saying once, when
Mr.. Conn was not present, that
young Schine was "of no help to
the committee but was interested
in :. I. getting his pictures in
the papers and that things had
reached the point where Mr..
Schine was q pest"
Another time, the report said,
Senator Mccarthy described Mr..
Schine as "a nuisance" The
report added that Senator Nc

to know Of these views on Mr..
Schine."

The report was made public
last night after a triple play

The report said that before

that Mr.. Adams thought he was
acting in the best interests of the
Army to try to terminate the
committee investigation. The
Senator said he was wrong in
that.
Asked by reporters if Mr.. Cohn
would remain on duty pending
a subcommittee decision on the
Army charges. Senator Mccarthy
replied:
so far as I am concerned
Mr.. Cohn will be around the
Capitol for a long time investi-
eating communism"
Senator Mccarthy said that
after Mr.. Adams first told him
about the Cohn report he put it
up to his counsel. The Senator
said Mr.. COINS version was
completely contrary to the Army
account which he described as
being not a report but Mr..
Adams version of what occurred.
Leaving For Wisconsin.
Senator Mccarthy said he will
grant the request of Senator
Potter. Republican of Michigan
and other members for a SUBJ
committee meeting on the affair.
But he said he is leaving at S
o'clock this afternoon to make
two speeches in Wisconsin and
will be back Monday.
The Wisconsin Senator said
he would like all committee
members to digest the committee
file before the meeting is held.
Senator Mccarthy agreed
that If the Army report is true
"Cohn would not have been act
ing properly" But the Senator
insisted that what he called the
Adams claims were not true. He
described the report as twist
ed, distorted, untrue version of
what occurred"
Senator Mccarthy also read
to reporters a telegram he sent
to Secretary Stevens this morn
ing. saying he would appreciate
it If the Army Secretary would
make 1t clear to the press that
the only time he. Senator Nc
Carthy, ever discussed a COM
mission for Mr.. Schine with
Mr.. Stevens was in Mr.. Schine's
presence. The Senator's tele-
gram said he urged and Mr..
Stevens agreed that Mr.. Schine's
case would have to be handled
the same as any draftee and that
any other course would be bad
for the committee and for the
Army in view Of the investiga-
ton Of the Army The telegram
added that Mr.. Schine fully
agreed.

Mccarthy and COIN
Called On 10 Present
Moss Case Evidence

Senator Mccarthy and the
chief counsel of his Senate In
vestgating Subcommittee. Roy
M. Cohn, were under fire today
to produce "corroborative evil
dence" they claim they have
against Mrs. Annie Lee Moss.
suspended Pentagon code clerk.
The demand was voiced yeSter-
day by Democratic members Of
the subcommittee after Mrs.
Moss, colored. vehemently de-
MED accusations of being a men,
Der of the Communist Party.
In an uproarious climax to
Mrs. Moss voluntary appearance
before the subcommittee, SEN
ator Mcclellan, Democrat, Of
Arkansas, dashed out at Mr..
Cohn and denounced as unfair
the "convicting of people by
rumor, hearsay and innuendo."
Symington Joins Attack.
Senators Symington of Mis-
souri, and Jackson of Washing
ton, other Democratic members
of the subcommittee, joined
with Senator Mcclellan in. as
sailing the nature and incom-
pletenesS of the evidence Mr..
Cohn sought to introduce against
Mrs. Moss.
Senator Symington interjected
at one point this remark to Mrs.
Moss:
II may be sticking my neck
out, but I think you are telling
the truth. If you are not taken
back into your job in the Army.
you come around and see me and
I'm going to see that you get
another one"
The Democrats raised the point
that the accusations that Mrs.
Moss was a member of North
east Washington Communist
club in the 1940s may be the
result of mistaken identity.
Won't Identify Witness.
The f1areup came when Mr..
Cohn sought to say that the sub
committee has received teSti-
mony behind closed doors from a
witness who has not been iden-
titled publicly that Mrs. Moss
was member of the Communist
Party unit.
Senator Mcclellan quickly in
terrupted to say that the ac-
cused had the right to have
the testimony produced in her
presence He also said the pub
lie had a right to know what
it was to weigh it's value.
Il don't like to try people by
hearsay evidence" he declared.
Mr.. Cohn and Senator Mundt,
Republican. of South Dakota,
the acting chairman. said the
"corroborative evidence" had
been obtained from a former
undercover informant for the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
For that reason. they said, there
was a question as to whether
the evidence could be produced
because the unidentified witness
was still being questioned by
the FBl.
AppIauded by Audience.
Senator Mcclellan retorted
that the matter should not have
been brought up in public
hearing unless the entire testt-
mony could be revealed.
Applause from the audience
punctuated Senator McClel-
lan's statements. Senator Mundt
made no effort to silence the
crowd.
Senator Mccarthy was not
present at the time, having left
the hearing after a few min
utes.
