and one a woman," Sanders said Tuesday. "Beyond that, on every basic issue facing the working people of this state, the differences stop," he said. According to Sanders, Snelling and Mrs. Hackel, are part of "an elite handful of people" already ruling the state as directors of financial corporations. Sanders said Mrs.

Hackel was a former associate of the law firm Ryan, Smith, Carbine. John Carbine is also a director of the Vermont Electric Power the Central Vermont Public Service and Vermont National Bank, he said.

Sanders said the Liberty Union platform calls for lowering of electric rates by up to 30 pa- cent with eventual public ownership of the private electric companies "without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own If elected, Sanders said he would fire the three members of the Public Service Board and replace them with people to implement the Liberty Union proposals.

Drugs causes said to camouflage of depression Vermont Democrats report party is $6,000 in debt MONTPELIER (UPI) The Vermont Democratic Committee has filed a financial report showing it is $6,000 in debt. The report, filed Tuesday with the secretary of state's office, showed most of the red ink stemmed from a $4,000 bank loan first taken out in 1972 and carried on the books ever since. The debt also included $942 in back pay owed to Catherine Neubert, who resigned Friday as secretary at the Democratic state headquarters in South Burlington.

Party Treasurer Irene Stewart of Montpelier attributed the difficulty to the fact that most contributers would rather give money to individual candidates than to the state committee. Democratic candidates for statewide It was overheard that is CHEAP! We will accept compliments such as this all the time. office are expected to ask the committee to borrow another $15,000 to help finance their campaigns. As if the Democrats didn't have enough problems with money, Mrs. Stewart served notice Tuesday she also is resigning.

She said she is stepping down mostly to devote more time to the campaigns of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stella Hackel and congressional hopeful John Burgess. But at the same time, Mrs. Stewart cited geographic and communications problems between herself and state Democratic Chairman Caroline Adler of Essex Junction. "It's difficult to work when the chairman and the bills and everything else are in Chittenden County," she said. LOS ANGELES (UPI) Depression In varying degrees affects about 80 million Americans at any given time, but a University of Southern California psychiatrist believes widely used mood-elevating drugs are not the answer.

Dr. Edward J. Stainbrook, chairman of the USC Department of Human Behavior, said tranquilizers and antidepressants camouflage, rather than solve, the problems causing the condition. "Most people feel unable to cope with anxiety and depression and become even more anxious and depressed," he said in an interview. "Actually, such emotions give us valuable information about ourselves if we let them.

If the result is action that reduces the emotional pain then these negative emotions have served their purpose." Stainbrook said we tend to think of emotions causing behavior when, in fact, the feelings result from behavior. "When we are depressed," he said, "our response should be, 'How can I act to change the situation so that my feelings will He said depression results from the basic emotion of distress. "This is a genetically determined built-in pain when one is going to lose some support, a separation anxiety." It makes its earliest appearance in infancy when security is threatened by separation from a central figure in a child's life. "But when you're an adult, when the loss is symbolic, you may not even be aware you're being depressed, but it sets up possibilities for psychosomatic illness." he said. The loss or separation can be not only another person, but symbols, things, or a role in life.

"This is a distinction not made often Stainbrook said. "We are rdated to other people and to what we do to objects and roles and if they are not available, or we lose them, then we act with distress. "A role is a set of functions. That's the source of support and meaning in our lives. The loss of a role itself is a loss of shem, then we act with distress.

"A role is a set of functions. That's the source of support and meaning in our fives. We're not careful, we continue mourning the loss of our role with that person." He said every depression has a history. If a child sustained the loss of a parent before the age of 15, he or she may be particularly susceptible to the loss of relationships later on. "There also is loss of Stainbrook said.

"It can be quite symbolic. Today, maybe a lot of depression is caused by a loss of leadership, of integrity." That meant a lots of values, he said, and it can be very significant and cause depression. "The point is," be said, "depression is a very normal emotion, not a pathological state. We should not treat the emotion with a drug before we know what the condition is. "We first have to listen to the information in the feeling to help solve the problem." Chinese in Texas SAN ANTONIO, Tex.

(UPI) The Alamo City is well known for its Mexican heritage and population, but it is a little known fact that more Chinese live in San Antonio than any other Texas city. More than 2,500 Chinese operate 15 restaurants, 85 grocery stores and uncounted laundries throughout the city. Grand Union of all Good Things Combo therapy found best for cancer care ST. LOUIS (UPI) Therapy combining the four major forms of cancer treatment provides patients with the best chance of successful medical care, according to researchers. The importance of a proper mix of the four types of treatment--surgery, anticancer drugs, radium therapy and immunotherapy --was stressed by several speakers at the National Conference on Cancer Research and Clinical Investigation Tuesday.

The best setting for such combined treatment, they said, is in controlled laboratory situations, such as a special cancer treatment center.

DIAL 442-6326 442-6327 cooperation is needed between such centers and the personal physicians of cancer patients in areas where such centers are not easily accessible. "The worst of all possible worlds is to have a patient with a potentially curable disease, using a relatively new treatment, stay in his home town where that treatment is not available," Frei said. "It's equally ridiculous to expect all such patients to be able to come to cancer centers. That is why the increased cooperation is so important." Dr. Stephen K.

Carter, director of the Northern California Cancer Program in Palo Alto, told reporters doctors must give their patients more complete information so they may take part in clinical trials of new treatments and combinations of treatments. Emphasizing that experiments are carefully tailored and not just based on a "throw of the dice," Carter said patients receive the best possible care in clinical trial situations. Case against trooper voided MONTPELIER (UPI) The attorney general's office has decided there are insufficient grounds for it to conduct an official investigation, into charges against State Trooper Robert Goderre of East Montpelier. The complaint was filed recently by St. Johnsbury lawyer Stephen Elias, who charged Goderre with harassment.

After Elias accusation became public, the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union said it, too, had received complaints against Goderre. Assistant Attorney General Paul Hudson said Tuesday, however, a review of the complaint and of ACLU files "failed to indicate the necessity of an investigation by the attorney general's office."
