In a previous column l
said that many patients be-
come unpopular with their
fellows If they make their ILL
ness (preSent or paSt) the
main core of their conversa-
ton.
BUT I TRIED to make the
point that those of us who
are well should have COM
passion for those who suffer
mental or physical disabili-
ties. Here are two letters on
the subject which should in
.terest you. They arrived on
the same day:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
to do about people who suffer
from self-pity? So much so
that they can talk of Moth
ing else but of past ailments
or sick spells. Or of trouble
in the family that should
have been forgiven and for
gotten long ago.
I try to be a Christian
woman, but for some reason
this is my pet peeve, when I
am with such people. I could
write more. but this is the
sum and substance of my
problem.-Mrs. X.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: In re-
gard to the letter written to
you by Mrs. o. of Arizona
some weeks ago, concerning
her impatience with chronic
complainers, and saying it
had often lessened her friend
ships. I want to say Give me
a chronic complainer every
time!"
I know people who seldom
complain, but on the slight
est provocation, become ir-
ritable, fault-finding and
cranky. One can hardly stand
them. You feel like crying
out: What in the heck is
eating you?"
1t is better to speak out
and complain. Confession is
good for the soul. 1t is hard
for me to tolerate or have
symathy for people who keep
quiet about their ailments
but take it out on the
bystanders. Their peevish ac-
tions are louder than any
complaints.
People who have suffered,
or are suffering, or have
similar problems, have much
in common, and there is a
bond of sympathy between
them. I would prefer that
kind Of person to a light
hearted one who has no un-
derstanding, no sympathy
just surface cheerfulness. 1

ARGUMENT: Opera COM
poser Giuseppe Verdi was for
several years a member of the
Italian Parliament. The role
of legislator did not suit him,
however.
With each passing year, he

One day. two of his fellow
legislators became embroiled
in a heated debate. While
they argued, Verdi idly scrib-

Suddenly. with a start, he
realized what he was doing.
He was setting the debate to
music. That settled it. Shortly
after he handed in his resig-

make sure the structure of our

The offering of a 13-year
bond priced to give buyers close
to 4 per cent a year is a clear
attempt to encourage banks
and others to "lock up" their
funds in longer-term United
States securities. At the same
time, the Treasury is actively
maneuvering to maintain a firm
floor under Short-ter inter-
est rates so short-term inves-
tors stay home in securities.
The central bankers of the
West are acutely aware of what
the Treasury is saying OF them

now-and they approve.
Planning for Future

tackle its massive debt opera

TALKING OF BUSINESS
LittIe-Used Car
Versus Rental Plan
By TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star staff Writer

Is the absence of a car in
the garage the latest word in
status?
A recent scheme unveiled by
a national car-rental firm
seems to point that way. The
statistics may be conveniently
arranged for promotional pur-
poses, but they are enough to
give any harassed auto owner
food for thought.
The Hertz Corp. the Nations
largest car and truck renting
and leasing company, a few
days ago announced an Auto
Bank" plan encouraging own
ers of little-used, low mileage
cars to trade them in and try
renting. In place of cash. the
company gives credit for Is per
cent above the used car market
value of the vehicle to be ap-
piled against future car rentals.
The theory behind all this
is that some city drivers don't
use their autos enough to make
all that depreciation, repair
and other expense worth while.
The plan is scheduled to go into
operation here November 16.
according to Daniel Huntoon.
Washington manager.
In Higher Brackets
Many of our residential
renters" says Donald A. Petrie.
Hertz executive vice president,
"are in the higher income
brackets and realize that the
high-cost ownership of a little
used car is no longer a prestige
necessity"
Mr.. Petrie thinks that keep
ing up with the Joneses, in big
cities, at least, consists in other
things, such as a good address
or travel in Europe.
To bear out its argument
Hertz conducted a cost study
assuming a businessman oper-
ated a standard size 1861 Chew
rolet, Plymouth or Ford, and
drove it only 1000 miles a year.
Insurance rates vary from
city to city, so the company
picked a large insurer in Chi
cago and New York for samples.
The result was this:

Auto Industry
b0pfimistic
But Cautious
BY BEN PHLEGAR
Associated Press Automotive Write

DETROIT, Nov. 9 CAP).-
New car sales in October were
just l per cent under the all
time peak for the month.
Loans on autos continue to be
paid off faster than new ones
are made. Used car prices re-
main surprisingly firm.
All of this should spell boom
with a capital "B" for the
auto industry. But does it?
Lets put it this way" said
one sales executive. Its
mighty nice while it lasts"
Detroit, on the whole, is being
unusually cautious in assessing
the apparent buyer enthusiasm
for the 1862 model cars. A
major reason is that last fall
a number of premature opti-
mistS who forecast 7 million
sales for 1861 were badly fooled.
October Of last year was
hotter than a California canyon
fire. Sales, possibly buoyed by
the glamour and enthusiasm of
the National Auto Show, were
at all-time record levels for the
month.
November continued the rec
ord pace and December, while
off a bit. definitely wasn't bad.
But the bottom dropped out of
the market when the calendar
turned to 1861.
In the last 10 days of De-
cember the industry averaged
20,6S0 sales daily. The average
in the Airst 10 days of January
skidded under $4,000 and the
year remained consistently be-
low comparable 1860 periods
until the final 10 days of last
month.
Another reason for caution
has been the chaotic condition
of inventories since the new
models went on sale. General
Motors and Ford, in that order,
were shut by strikes for two
weeks each. Dealers built back
logs of orders but how many
will remain valid when de-
liverieS are available is in doubt.

program was an experiment
which only time and experience
could help to evaluate.
Both Congress and the ad-
ministration felt there were
many potential home buyers
who could not qualify for mort
cages under present programs,
he said. The long mortgages
will permit more people to buy
homes and widen the real
estate market, he added.
Studies have shown that the
Nation has Is million substand-
ard homes and the population
increase each year is about
equal to that of the city of
Philadelphia, he declared.
Takes Sharp Issue
David K. Gillogly, assistant
director of economies for the
National Association of Home
Builders, took sharp issue with
the bankers on how fast a mod
ern house depreciates.
Modern homes are much bet
ter built than those construct
ed in the 1920s, he declared.
The old homes of Georgetown
and Alexandria have lasted
times 40 years, he said.
Owners have a much better
than landlords or ten
ants in maintaining houses and
real estate mortgages have
yielded better and stood up bet
ter marketwise than corporate
mortgages, he continued.
Not much can be done about
interest rates so that lengthen-
ing of the maturity was one of
the few things that could be
done to permit still more people
to buy homes, he said.
Dean Nathan A. Baily of the
School of Business Administra-
tion at American University
moderated the panel discussion.
Co-chairmen for the ALB chap
ter forum were James Seitzin-
ger of Alexandria National
Bank and Page Crawford of the
