NEW YORK. May 80 (AP)
IA 9-year-old boy watched in
terror last night as his father
Twas fatally shot while strug-
gling with q holdup man in q
midtown Manhattan drugstore
MY daddy's a good wres-
ltler," sobbed little Martin Hy-
ImowitZ. II thought he'd win. "
| Minutes after the shooting
police captured James Sulli-
Ivan. 26. in a four1block chase
that led through holiday
crowds and ended near Times
Square. He had a gun in his
pocket and blood on his shirt.
For the last week Sullivan,
described as a narcotics ad-
dict, had been living with his
infant daughter in a hotel
room.
Drug clerk Abraham Hymo-
witz, As, was on duty with his
son visiting him when the gun
man entered. Martin was sip
ping a soda in a back room
when the gunman entered,
brandished two pistols and
asked for money.
Mr.. Hymowitz said he had
none and was ordered to lie on
the floor. When a woman and
two men customers entered a
moment later they were COM
manded to move to the back.
At this point, Martin ap-
peared, terrified and weeping.
He was told to be quiet and lie
down next to his father.
Then, as If to prove the
weapons were real, the gunman
fired shot into a wall. At this,
Mr.. Hymowtiz sprang at the
man, wrested a gun from his
hand and started clubbing him.
He hit him three times before
two bullets from the second gun
hit him in the head and chest.
He died 80 minutes later.
Sullivan was charged with,
homicide. He had been regis
tered at a.West Side hotel with
his 3-month-old daughter. Po-
lice said his wife had left him
and he didn't know where she
was.
The infant, who appeared to
be in good condition, was taken
to a founding hospital.

Mr.. Berding, in a radio-TV

Ele ction-year precedents
point to congressional passage
of a social security bill this
year, even If an old age health
insurance measure fails to
materialize.
A bill to broaden and other
wise revise the social security
system is scheduled to leave the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee with practically unani-
nous approval of the is Demo-
cratic and 10 Republican mem
bers. Congress is expected to
pass it before adjournment in
July, Just as it passed such
legislation in each election year
since 1850.
But unlike most of its pre-
decessors the 1860 bill will not
increase social security taxes
or boost the $4,000 annual
earnings base on which the
taxes are levied.
While it will bring more peo-
pie under social security COW
erage, it will affect only a few
comparatively small groups.
It will increase or expand
benefits in some categories
without providing any general
overall increase. 1t will entail
increased costs in some in
stances but most of these would
be Offset by decreases or tech
nical improvements elsewhere
in the law.
Widows to Benefit
Most of the proposed reyi-
sionS were publicized several
months ago in committee hear
ings. One would remove the So
year age requirement for dis
ability insurance. Another

Sonable to expect that an
abundance of this floating
guilt will completely vitiate
the charm that may be at
tempting a break through.
We've all done things we're
ashamed Of. What some of us
don't have is the capacity to
distinguish between justified
and unjustified guilt. And
after we've resolved this diff
ference we must forgive our
selves and, with a little prac-
tice. forget.
A lot of well-intentioned
people beat themselves over
the head with feelings of
guilt and constantly luxuriate
in a bubble bath of self-re-
elimination. Nothing could be
less charming.
If you victimize yourself in
this way, sit down and take
a Sunbath in the warm light
of reason.
You've made mistakes and
you've done some rather
stupid and inexcusable things
in the past. Fine. You're in
good company. There's Moth
ing you can do about these
now. except to take advantage
of past experience and avoid
similar mishaps in the future.
But don't dwell on them,
even if you get a certain
masochistic pleasure out Of
it.
You've wasted a lot of time.
Fine. Cut down on it in the
future. Or the present time is
a precious commodity. When
you clear away the brush,
time is really all that any of
US have, and darn little Of
it at that.
You'll feel better and less
guilty if you make productive
and creative use of it. The
time to do that. at the risk
Of a cliche, is now.
Practice catching yourself
in the act of wasting it and
Immediately shift gears.
The quilts Of the past are
fruitlesS: the quilts of the fu-
ture avoidable.
In the meantime you owe
it to yourself to forgive your
self, or you'll have a three
ton anchor around your neck,
which makes maneuvering
difficult.
Take yourself to the mir
ror, look yourself straight in
the eye actually, this is not
only the infallible way TO see
yourself-it is the only way
to see otherS-straight on
and say: You made a mis-
take and you're a bit OF a
,lunkhead, but I feel you're
a good sort who will mend
your ways-so I forgive you" 4"
- =
For some odd reason that
has escaped the sages Of the
past and me, too. forgiving
yourself is one of the hardest
things in the world to do.
- On the surface it might
seem easy. but it never is.
Only by consciously and
forcefully making yourself
aware of the fact that you
must do this can you make
any decent progress on the
path to being your real self
and to being fulfilled as far
~as your natural charm is con-
cerned.
A great many Of us often
feel guilty about getting some
pleasure out of life or enjoy
ing ourselves.
We might even learn a
lesson from ancient Hindu
philosophy. They claim that
Evening star., 1960-08-09

Guilt Exists, So Face 1t

pleasure is one of the four
legitimate ends of life. They
suggest that you go after it,
If you really want it.
But they feel that if you
are absolutely honest with
yourself. you will sooner or
later realize that. as a total
goal. you will be bored stiff
with it. And this has been
proven time and again to be
true.
But at least you need not
feel guilty in enjoying what
you can as you become more
emotionally mature. and, as q
result, more charming.
Correct Faults
I believe that it is never too
late to correct things until
you're dead and buried.
Guilt is really part of con-
ceit. in a sense. If you keep
berating yourself, you get
nowhere; if you correct YOUR
self, you'll get satisfaction.
You can't let your whole
life be ruined by your past
mistakes. You've simply got
to find a way to say: II made
a mistake. The world is not
coming to an end because of
it and I'm not going to, waste
any more good time over it,"
Since charm is so depend
ent on the removal of excess
Sive guilt. you might try
separating your quilts into
two piles and studying them
carefully.
In one pile. put your justi-
fed quilts, You owe a letter.
Write it. You owe some
money you can't pay at the
moment. Write or talk to the
person about it and explain
your exact circumstances.
Don't duck it. Don't bury it.
You offended somebody
months ago and haven't had
the courage to face her since.
Face her. Get her to laugh
with you at the length Of
time it's taken you to get up
up the steam to speak to her
about it.
You've failed to correct
certain tendencies in your
children. perhaps through
laziness. Gradually set out on
a program to correct this.
Take a good deep breath,
and make a clean breast of
every justified guilt you can
unearth. You'll not only feel
good, you'll feel charming.
AS for the other pile-the
unjustifled guilts-take a
good, long look at them.
You accidentally made a
fool of yourself at a dinner
party by Spilling a bowl of
gravy. All right. so you're not
neat. Say you're sorry.
They know you didn't do it
on purpose, so don't spend
the rest Of the evening re-
living the awkward moment.
You've spent too much
time envying a new house
your neighbors have been
able to move to. Recognize
that envy is a natural thing,
nothing to be ashamed of,
unless you dwell on it.
