NEW YORK, R-In an editor ial, the Wall Street Journal took a relative view of the speculation it said is going around whether the Democratic presidential nomi- nee is big enough for the White House.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Chance Played Role
In Jockson's Career

Judge Joseph r. Jackson's
description of himself as "a
creature of chance" would seem
to be still applicable with his
assignment as presiding judge
at the coming trial of James r.
Hoffa.
The judge started out to be
a surgeon when he was grad
uated from New York's Man
haitian College in 1900. But
chance changed the course of
his life. Pure chance. too, has
landed the Hoffa case in the
79-year-old judges courtroom.
Mr.. Hoffa charged that District
Court Judge F. Dickinson Let's
was guilty of prejudice against
the Teamsters Union leader and
the case was assigned to Judge
jackson.
Chance in the West
Judge Jackson's first brush
with chance came when he tired
of his studies after graduation
from Manhattan College.
II had a friend who had
relatives in Butte, Mont, so I
just blew out West and started
working in a copper mine," the
judge said.
1--WE didn't have any 40-hour
week. We worked eight-hour
shifts every day of the month,
and it didn't hurt our health
or our manners, either"
But chance had something
else in mind for the young
miner, moving him to Butte
High School as director of
athletics"
THE president of the Butte
Board of Education asked me to
take on the job because he
knew I'd played football in
college and they needed a new
COACH" Judge Jackson said.
Il had to teach mathematics,
too, by the way"
1t was the judges way with
boys that led to his next career
after a year at the high school.
Heads Reform School
The bad boys" in the school
used to be sent down by the
teachers to Coach" Jackson
for discipline, and he managed
to straighten them out. So he
was then appointed to head
Butte's school for delinquent
boys.
The first thing I did was to
take the bars off the windows.
I turned it from a prison into
a boarding school," the judge
said.
Setting up athletic teams, he
put his coaching experience to
good stead, with the Butte In
dustrial School teams being the

tops in competition with other
schools.
But the judge had time on
his hands during the years
from 1908 to 1910 that he ran
the reform school. During long
horseback rides into the noun
tains around Butte he con-
cluded this wasn't the life for
him. He decided to become a
lawyer.
Started as Apprentice
Since there was no law school
in Montana, Judge Jackson took
the only available route to-
ward this goal. He became an
apprentice to several local law
yerS in his spare time and in
1906 became a member of the
Montana Bar.

Hypnosis Not q PorIor Game!
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEIhcRoHN

A DOCTOR can learn the
techniques Of hypnosis in
about four hours. But that
doesn't make him an expert.
The paramount question is
not CAN you hypnotic the
patient: but SHOULD you
hypnotic him. There seems
to be no doubt that hypnosis
is becoming a valuable ad-
junct in the treatment Of
patients. But there is poten-
tial bad in most good things.
Hypnosis is no exception.
You can harm a person who
may be a poor subject.
Therefore. if you are in
terested in breaking q bad
habit, don't submit to hyp-
nosis unless it is recon-
mended-and performed-by
a well-qualified physician.
For example, it is possible
you may be cured of the to-
bacco habit and turn instead
to alcohol or other drugs.
NEVER, NEVER offer
yourself as the subject in a
parlor game, to one who is
not a doctor and claims to be
an expert. Whenever I see
grownups playing with hyp-
nosis I visualize a roomful Of
children playing with dyna-
mite.
There are many little ways
to prevent and overcome the
daily tensions most Of us
undergo. For example, con-
slider ill-1itting shoes. I re-
call scores of men who had
to be on their feet all day
who we're exhausted at night
because tight shoes kept
choking their feet.
A policeman and a mail
carrier were about ready to
give I'D their Jobs; proper
fitting shoes produced a
miraculous change in their
comfort and spirit. Many
women are the victims of I'M
comfortable shoes. At least
they have the good sense to
kick them of at every OPP
portunity. But there'd be less
feminine fatigue if the ladies
resolved not to allow foot
styles to interfere with COM
fort.

Abby, why don't parents

do it when they reached the

they could call us collect and
we would come and get them

many times for the assurance
this knowledge gave them
although they never had to

grandfather knew when he
made out his will that the
Omaha relative would not at

He didn't. The grandfather

relatives who attended his

Of such patients who got into

blood transfusions pulled him

son, never pluck a hair out

DON'T BELIEVE in out

hear people say that most
doctors are hard-hearted, be-
cause their faces are impas-
Sive while all around them
other human beings are over

tions. AS I may have men
toned some other time, this
outward calm often hides an
inner turbulence.
The great DR.. William Os-
Ter used to preach "equa-
nimity" to his medical stu
dents. If the doctor should
allow himself to go to pieces.
just imagine what effect it
would have on the patient
and family. You cannot
measure the amount of grief
by the amount Of tears one
sheds. Neither should you
estimate the amount Of a
doctors sympathy by the ex-
preston on his face.

Probably you have been
hearing more and more lately
that where there is a problem
of teen-age delinquency in
the family, better evaluate
the characteristics Of the
parents. Often, immaturity
of adults is the specific cause
of trouble in their young
sters. Unfortunately, I re-
member too many cases
where children, undergoing
psychiatric treatment, might
have found an easier cure If
their parents had taken
treatment instead.

human endeavor. For me,
one Of the most distressing
is trying to fall asleep again

Her husband Is very handsome
and quite a lady's man. The
first time I met him, I noticed
that he took quite a shine to
me. He made a lot Of remarks
about my appearance. After
that, he didn't say anything,
but his eyes were always on
me when I was around.
I felt sorry for Ann and
spoke to her kid sister about
it. AIMS sister, Marie, is
my age and I thought she
would be the right person
to put Ann wise. So what
does Ann do2 She tells my
mother I'm a brat and ought
to be spanked. Now I'm not
allowed to date for the rest
of the term.
Mrs. L. Ell don't feel
the punishment is too harsh
for what Karen did. She is
old enough to know she
shouldn't talk like that.
I felt like Furnishing Karen
much more severely because
I know it is the result of her
listening in on some gossip
around the house. AIMS hus-
band has quite a reputation
and I notice that every time
he becomes the topic Of con-
versation, Karen is all ears.
Ann closes her eyes to
nearly everything that goes
on about her husband, but
she shouldn't be completely
blind and should make him
keep away from teen-agers.
So in a way I'm not too sor- O.
ry Karen acted up.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Mrs. L. E. seems to talk out
Of two sides Of her mouth in
this case, and as a result her
punishment" will be totally
ineffective. Karen now has
every reason to believe she is
being condemned for the sake
of public opinion. Inconsis-
tencies like these can create
great moral dilemmaS for
youngsters.
If Mrs. L. E. believes AIMS
husband spoke or behaved in
an unsuitable way to Karen.
she should have told the man
so directly and in no uncer-
tain terms. If she does not
believe this, she must know
that Karen is weaving an
erotic fantasy.
Teen-agerS are prone to
daydream, and for the most
part this is harmless, but
they must be alert to the dis
tinction between dream and
reality.
1t is. however, much more
alarming when an adult Slurs
over this distinction-and we
think this has happened to
Mrs. L. E. The gossip" she
describes is a lurid form of
daydreaming and has no
place in the life of any ma
ture, principled person.
Karen, of course, should
have told her story only to
her mother.

IN A SEASIDE TOWN of
HOO persons. everybody
knows everybody elese. The
friendships and the enmitieS
are old. Politics is not a mat
ter Of right and wrong, but Of
friend and foe.
Mayor Thomas Farrell has
run little Sea Bright for over
20 years. He's a Democrat, a
man who blinks and broodS
behind horn-rimmed glasses.
Most Of the six councilmen
are Republican. All Of them
work at administering the af-
fairs of the town at night.
They have day jobS-one Is
a bridge tender, one works at
a race track, one is a retired
naval officer, a few labor with
their hands.
The mayor drops a heavy
briefcase on top Of his desk,
facing the people. His eyes
dance over their faces to see
what kind Of evening he is
going to have. The council
men sit at the bottom of the
T, facing one another.
A dark, buxom woman sits
beside the mayor. She is Mrs.
Joan Axelsen, town clerk. She
knows more about day-to-day
town affairs than anyone.
On the far side Of the mayor,
Henry Giordano slouches. He
is the borough attorney.
The mayor begins the hum
drum business of calling the
roll and approval of the
minutes of the last meeting.
All of the business is small.
Mrs. Axelsen sits up prim-
ly to read the bank state
ment. She reads debts, cred
its, cash on hand swiftly.
The cash on hand is $46, 100.
Each department. is asked to

Jack Ryan, he says, has done

A fight is brewing in this
room. Everyone knows it. At
one side a stout man sits.
He wears a crew cut and a
florid shirt. He is Arthur
Axelson, tax assessor. There
is a rumor that the mayor
and council are going to re-
place him with a three-man
board of tax assessors.

fight. He silently reads his
notes, which will shred the

ally. Last year. Mr.. Axelsen
ran against the mayor. A
citizen stands and says he is
the one that asked the mayor
to replace the assessor with
a board.
This embarrasses Mr.. Axel-
sen because the mayor is no
longer the villain. The bor-
ough attorney reads the
State law permitting small
towns to replace assessors
with three men, who are to
be appointed by the council.
MAYOR FARRELL asks
the council their pleasure.
Each in turn votes against
replacing Mr.. Axelsen. Each
piously asserts that he
thought the board of asses
sors would be voted by the
people, not appointed by the
council. Mr.. Axelsen is asked
by the mayor If he has any
thing to say. He is confused,
and says it is all a misunder-
