Panama Fair Wins
 House Nod For l96O Official Event

JUNEAU, R Matanuska may be 1959's official fairground, but Fairbanks is only a year be- hind. The House Friday voted to call the 1860 Panama Valley Fair the official state event for 1860.
 The recognition was extended in a resolution offered by Rep. Robert Giersdorf. The opposition was led, strangely enough, by Rep. James Hurley of Palmer, site of the Matanuska Valley Fair.
 Hurley said the fair question was important enough to merit the attention of lawmakers, who are hurrying to adjourn by April IS.
 Both houses have approved the 1859 designation for the Matanus- ka event and at one time it was argued official recognition should go to each fair on alternate years.
 Which fair will eventually win out apparently will be decided by future legislators.

Atom Sub Skipjack Plunges To New
 Depth, Speed Mark

GROTON, Conn, tR - The atomic submarine Skipjack, with seven Congressmen aboard, plunged effortlessly to new ocean depths at record speeds over the weekend.
 The whale-shaped Skipjack, to be commissioned Wednesday, ploughed deeper and reached speeds greater than any known submarine in history. Members of the joint Congressional committee on atomic energy who made the trial run and took turns at the controls, were visibly impressed.
 The Navy would give no details but Sen. Clinton P. Anderson O- MD, chairman Of the committee, said in a statement: '|For security reasons I can only say that we were deeper than 400 feet and moving faster than 20 knots"
 The Navy, as early as four years ago, listed such speeds and depths for their first atomic submarines. Exact figures have always been classified.
 The committee took a similar trial run in 1855 on the atomic underseas craft Nautilus. Ander- son said the speed of the Skip jack was substantially above the speed achieved in the Nautilus"

A proposal by the National
Capital Housing Authority to
purchase an 84-unit privately
owned apartment project in
Southeast Washington ran into
nearly the same opposition
which scuttled a similar prop
osition 10 months ago.
About a dozen witnesses APP
peared at a District Commits
sioners' hearing on NCHA's
proposal to buy Shapol Gardens
at E street and Ridge road Sc.
James Ring, NCHA director
said the housing authority
again is seeking to purchase
privately owned apartments be-
cause Of "the critical scarcity
of sites" and the high cost of
developing new projects on the
few available sites.
The houing authority was re-
buffed in 1857 when it asked
the District Commissioners to
approve the authority's acqui-
sition of the 103-unit Terrace
Apartments at Twenty third
and Congress streets Sc. The
Commissioners voted two to one
against the proposal on grounds
that the site was not suitable
for public housing.

The gun factory. which was
established in 1899 as the
Washington Navy Yard, no
longer manufactures new guns.
The Navy said its present work
is primarily in the field of
guided missiles, electronics and
other modern weapons.
The 125-acre, 152-building
ordnance complex has $500
employees and does about $50
million worth of work every
year.

The last name change came
in 1945, when the Navy Yard
title was dropped in favor of
the Gun Factory name.

Democrat of Maryland, who
has led the fight for continued
use of the Gun Factory, said
he hopes the new home will

NCHA Proposal to Buy
ShopoI Gardens Fought

The housing authority's pro-
poSal was strongly Endorsed
today by Charles A. Horsky,
president of the Washington
Housing Association. He urged
the Commissioners approval as
a means of solving what he
called a desperate problem" in
providing housing for low
income and displaced families.
Within the next three to
five years. we must find ways
to house more than 1000 fam
lilies whose incomes are not
adequate to enable them to find
decent, safe and sanitary pri-
vate accommodations"
Mr.. Horsky said additional
public housing is necessary to
keep the highway and urban
renewal programs going and
that the District should not
"evict a family and destroy its
home unless it provides a de-
cent place for that family to
CO."
Groups opposing the NCHA
request included the Washing
ton Board of Trade. The trade
group said it was opposed be-
cause the site was "inappropri-
ate" for public housing, would
result in a tax loss to the Dis
trict, and "downgrading Of
property in the vicinity"
President Mclaughlin Of the
Board of Commissioners said
the only question before the
city officials was whether the
site was appropriate for public
housing. He said the Com
missioners would make their
decision within 10 days to two
weeks.

HE LEFT THE BAG Of

HE LEFT THE BAG Of
potatoes in front of the store
window with his boy sitting
on it and tiptoed anxiously
to the thick carpeting inside.
Several customers had ar
rived, but no one was carry
ing a big bag Of potatoes.
He asked a saleswoman for
the coat advertised on the
radio for 437 potatoes. She
was a bit puzzled but then
said:
ION, that one. It's 497."
Cecil dashed out of the
store, left his boy sitting on
the bag, and took a cab back
to the market. He was back
in a few minutes with go
more potatoes in a paper
sack. He gave them to his
boy and re-entered.
He was still winning. He
saw no one with potatoes.
But there was a catch. The
saleslady told him the tax
was 800. He produced his
weekly pay check which was
$50 and asked if they would
take that until he got the
balance of the tax from the
bank.
But what about the $497?"
he was asked.
1.-THE potatoes" he said,

Right then and there
everybody began to realize
that there was a misunder-

little apartment.
But passersby, puzzled by

on the topic. He said he's now

world relations.
What is he teaching current
ly? Hypnotisnn, psychology and
marriage counseling.
The role I had chosen for my
interviews came from q case
book on marriage counseling.
In the casebook, the woman.
under a years psychiatric
treatment by a member of the
American Association of Mar
rage Counselors - had gotten
over her suicidal impulses, her
handwriting block and her ma
rital unhappiness. BY the end
of the second session, her coun-
selor was intimately aware Of
her problems and had estab-
lished a definite pattern OF
Treatment.
What had my counselor
done? I sought comment from
several members of the Amer
lean Association of Marriage
Counselors here.
"This was ridiculous" said
one. Like crystal-ball gazing.
Appalled, by Lecture
The veteran marriage coun-
celors were appalled, at the lee
turer on the ego and the i'd
not only because he was con-
fused in what he was talking
about but because the expert
counselors studiously avoid
what they refer to as tech
nical jargon."
AS for the dream, a PSYCHE
artist commented:
I'VE go easy on explaining
the meaning Of dreams, but his
explanation was completely SUI
perfcial anyhow. The feeling
expressed by the dream was re-
lated to deep anxiety in which
sex played an important part
1t was silly to relate it to fear
of death. And he didn't ask
who you thought was stabbing
you, where you dreamt that you
were, who else was present"
On the use of the lecture. sew
eral experts commented that
only a poorly trained person
would talk so much instead Of
trying to dig out the patients
true feelings. When the coun-
selor does all the talking, they
explained, the patient tends to
shut up. The counselor, they
said, appeared simply to be try
ing to sell a bill of goods.
Experts Shocked
The experts were shocked
that the counselor skirted the
question of sex when he was
supposedly dealing with marital
difficulties. They called it in
conceivable that he had asked
no direct questions about the
woman's relationship to her
husband.
They concluded:
The problems I presented
were beyond him and he either
didn't recognize it or wouldn't
admit it.
His treatment" was worse
than useless. 1t was dangerous
because it deferred proper treat
ment for a woman whose deep
seated emotional difficulties
were driving her toward suicide.
