PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1949 'LOLLIPOP TECHNIQUE': Psychiatrist Asserts That Homes Breed Mental Illness The American home is the pri- mary source of mental illness, Dr. C. Charles Burlingame, psychiatrist of the Institute of Living, Hartford, Conn., charged yesterday in a lec- ture before the seventeenth annual Parent Education Institute here. School Officials Conference Set Speakers To Discuss Educational Problems The Michigan College Association and a Conference of State School Principals and Superintendents will hold special meetings tomorrow at the Union. The College Association will dis- cuss problems 6f college enrollment and student selection. Dr. John R. Emens, president of Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Ind., and University Provost James P. Adams will speak. The school principals and super- intendents will confer on the com- mon problems of business, labor and education. Principal speakers will be Paul Good, of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Benjamin Fine, edu- cation editor of the New York Times, and Brendan Sexton, Detroit regional educational representative of the UAW-CIO. Debaters Will Speak in Ohio Three Michigan debaters will leave today for Cleveland where they will join Western Reserve debaters for a series of open debates before seven high schools in that area. Bill Starr from Lansing, Sidney Zilber from De- troit and William Flaskcamp from Bay City will uphold the negative on the national high school debate ques- tion, Resolved: That the federal gov- ernment should provide a system of complete medical care available to all citizens at public expense. Repre- sentatives from Western Reserve will handle the affirmative on the ques-1 tion. Over-protection of children, over- anxiety of parents, a "gimmie-gim- .nie" atttitude, and the "lollipop tech- nique" of raising children were list- ed by Dr. Burlingame as principal factors in the increase of mental ill- ness. Realistic Training "If we expect our children to sur- vive in this world. -we must give them the advantage of realistic training," Dr. Burlingame said, pointing out that the bulk of neuropsychiatric dis- charges from the armed forces went to men who had never been in com- bat, but whose illnesses were caused by their home training. The "lollipop technique" of re- warding children for doing right is responsible for more mental disor- ders than any other single factor, he said. Parents have the duty and obliga- tion to prepare their children for life by teaching them to do things because they are right, and helping them to learn to reason what is right, Dr. Burlingame said.0 Expressing the view that the en- tire world scene seems to reflect the premise of getting something out of everything, Dr. Burlingame said that children should be taught to give as well as to get. Independent Teenagers Parents must show respect for teen- agers' independence and sense of re- sponsibility when they seek to give guidance, Mrs. Belle Farley Murray, lecturer and consultant in family re- lations for the University Extension Service and the Michigan State Board in Control of Vocational Education, told the opening session of the In- stitute. Asserting that the kind of thinking that tries to solve child behavior prob- lems without first' analyzing them must be discarded, Dr. Ralph J. Oje- mann, member of the staff of the Iowa Child Welfare Research Station, advised listening to the child's story first. "We still discuss the question, 'Should I spank or shouldn't I?' as if we could decide without knowing what caused the behavior we propose to treat by spanking," he said. Children must develop attitudes of equality toward all individuals re- gardless of race or creed in the home, or they willypt school, Dr. and Mrs. Harry Overstreet told the Institute.

FIRST HAND VIEW: Louis Lochner Will Lecture On War Trials Tomorrow 'NOW A WORD FROM-' Abbot Says Boycott Can Stop Obnoxious Commercials' By ANN SCHOONMAKER The radio fan who gets hot under the collar when a commercial hacks up his favorite program has only himself to blame. According to Waldo Abbot, director of the University Broadcasting Ser- vice, it is "the fault of the radio lis- tener for acepting, without voluble condemnation, programs which have become obnoxious because of ex- cessive advertising." Although efforts have been made in the past by the National Asso- ciation of Broadcasters to place a time limit on the commercial content of radio programs, he said, a code of standards has never worked out be- cause the advertisers refused to co- operate. Hwever, the American system of broadcasting is undoubtedly the "best system," he asserted, because it presents to the public the finest artists and writing talent at the ex- pense of thhe advertiser-programs which could not be obtained without vast expenditure. "When sponsors, advertising agen- cies, and broadcasters recognize the fact that they are cheapening these outstanding programs through ex- cessive advertising, and it is called to their attention by the disinterest of the listening public, these faults may be corrected." Advertising copy in radio programs is as justified as advertising in mag- azines, however, Abbot said. "It would be impossible to publish and distribute the magazines we enjoy without the income derived from the advertisers, and the same thing is true of radio." If the advertising overwhelms or detracts from the value of the maga- zine or the radio programs, he went on to say, the public will either stop buying the magazine or stop listen- ing to the program, and in this way Church News Midweek activities of Interguild student religious organizations will include teas and suppers today. An informal tea and coffee hour will be held by the LUTHERAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION from 4 to 6 p.m. at the student center, 1304 Hill. The ROGER WILLIAMS GUILD will present a midweek chat from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Guild House. The regular Bible Study hour of GAMMA DELTA will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the center, 1511 Washtenaw. * * * Members of the WESLEYAN GUILD will participate in a re- fresher from 4 to 6 p.m. Clark Transfer Reported WASHINGTON, Nov.'5 - (P) - Transfer of Gen. Mark W. Clark from command of American forces in Austria to command of the Sixth Army in the United States was re- ported today, without official con- firmation, to be under consideration by the War Department. RIDER'S HOBBY SUPPLIES 302 South State Street force the publisher or the radio sta- tion to eliminate such obnoxious or excessive advertising. As far as the future of radio in frequency modulation is concerned, he stated that the FCC has set aside bands for non-commercial radio stations such as those educational institutions, which offers a possible solution to the problem. When such educational FM sta- tions present programs as attractive as those broadcast by commercial stations and programs which will be free of all advertising content, then, commercial broadcasters will be forced to listen and to accede to the criticism of the listener. Titiev To Speak At IRA Meeting Group Will Consider Plans To Aid FEPC Prof. Mischa Titiev of the anthrop- ology department will discuss "Audi- ence Reactions to Addresses on Racial Problems" following a business meet- ing of the Inter-Racial Association at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Union. Preceding Prof. Titiev's address, the IRA will consider plans to expe- dite the activities of the association in behalf of state FEPC legislation. Members of the IRA will also ex- amine proposals for action in support of a nation-wide campaign for a national anti-lynching bill. During the meeting, complete copies of the Inter-Racial Associa- tion Bulletin, will be distributed. Tnn=79 DOES HE LIKE YOU? Two perfumes to fit ideally either mood. SAINT-to be loved and adored.

Lochner joined the Berlin staff of InsightWill Be Published Soon Insight, the Magazine of Student Concern, will be going to press very soon, editor Bob Carneiro announced yesterday. The purpose of Insight is to stimu- late discussion and thought as well as to present informative articles, Carneiro explained, adding that the magazine can still use one or two ar- ticles or editorials for the next issue. "Insight, which is designed to pre- sent religion in its broadest possible sense, offers a medium of expression for any student who has something worthwhile to present to the student body," Carneiro said.

Read and Use the Classified Directory the Associated Press in 1924, and served as chief of that bureau from 1928 to 1942. He built up an exten- sive network of contacts with big government officials in Germany, and had personal interviews with many of them. Their words and plans, taken from the text of Loch- ner's book, "What About Germany?" were placed on record by the Ameri- can prosecution in the Nuernberg trial. On Dec. 10, 1941, Lochner and other Berlin correspondents were rounded up and taken to the Gestapo prison at the Alexanderplatz in Berlin. He returned to this country in June, 1942, aboard the Drottingholm in an exchange of German and American diplomats and writers. With the end of the war, Lochner returned to Europe and later to Ger- many, to report on conditions there and cover the Nuernberg trials of the men he had last seen as the leaders of the Third Reich. He will discuss this trial in his lecture Thursday. Single admission tickets for Loch- ner's speech will be sold Wednesday and Thursday at the Hill Auditorium box office.
