Wykoff, the former bank officer who is under a five-year prison sentence for embezzling $75,000 in bank funds, was back home with his family Tuesday after spending the night in the Hamilton County Jail. It is only a brief respite for the 33-year-old Mt. Washington man. He has two factors to thank for it the crowded conditions at the county jail and a system of handling Federal prisoners that last year saved the government $1 million. Wykoff, former assistant secretary and assistant vice president of the Fifth Third Bank, is to serve his term in the Federal Correctional Institute at Sandstone, Minn.

In what is known as Prisoner Co-ordination by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, he could have been in the county jail as long as two weeks before starting on his way. This is because Federal prisoners are not transported singly on long hauls. To cut the cost, Federal authorities in May, 1968, instituted a system whereby deputy marshals all over the country pick up prisoners to deliver at various Federal prisons on what can be as long as a 2000-mile trip. WYKOFFS incarceration in the Hamilton County Jail Monday came in the face of statements made during the last week by Hamilton County Sheriff Dan Tehan that he would take no more prisoners. Much of the overflow since has gone to the Cincinnati Workhouse.

The former bank officer's release Tuesday, in the form of a stay of execution of sentence, was ordered by U. S. District Court Judge David S. Porter. Judge Porter, who had sentenced Wykoff on Monday, said his order came at the request of U.

The officers arrested a young man at a Cincinnati hotel on a morals charge. They drove him to the police station to lock him up.

Asked Tuesday why he was still accepting Federal prisoners, Tehan said he had a contract with the Federal government.

The contract calls for housing Federal prisoners while they await disposition of then-cases or transportation to a Federal prison. The Workhouse, once on the list of approved jails for Federal prisoners, was removed several years ago. On the approved list now in this area are the Hamilton County and Newport, Jails and the Montgomery County Jail in Dayton, Ohio. Horn said that under the prisoner co-ordination system, the average cost of transporting Federal prisoners had dropped from $111.50 to $67.74.

Burden is a Cincinnati real estate broker. He is a graduate of rector of the Orthogenic School which has gained world renown for its work with disturbed children. Bettelheim spoke to the 10th annual PTA home-school workshop at Cour-ter Tech. In a pre-speech press conference, he quipped that sex education should be taught "well." It should "begin at the moment of birth and be completed by age 35," he continued. "It's not anything found in three easy lessons." On a serious note he said neither home nor school has taught it well.

He also said schooling should be speeded up to end after the 11th grade. Purpose of high schools now "is to keep the kids out of the house and from under the skin of their parents." Chief benefit is socializing. He said, "Kids are too dependent. It's ridiculous that a kid still could be in school at age 21 or 22." In his talk, Bettelheim stressed, "We err by not offering children something substantial, meaningful and strong that they can push against to find out who they are." He chastised adults "who give way, who are afraid to take a stand and affirm their convictions because we don't want to hurt the poor little darlings." Parents should be able to accept a child's negativism instead of fighting it, Bettelheim said. The back-and-forth process of fighting against oneself, then society, has been known since the ancient Greeks, he said, "but we always want children to walk the straight line without strong winds to force them to tack back and forth, positive and negative." To really teach a child takes a little longer, he noted.

Both parents and schools find it easier to do something for a child than let him do it himself, he said. He deplored the stress on jobs and money rather than importance of a child developing himself as a person. "What's really wrong with upbringing is that we dont have time for it," he declared. "We're in such an ungodly hurry." A frequent complaint of youth that they have no "feeling of belonging" is due to changes in society, Bettelheim said. No longer do children naturally follow their parents trade or life style, each of which had its defined roles.

A sense of respect and worth of one's body is essential, he said, and cannot be cultivated by telling a child constantly when to wash his hands. A child should have to decide this himself. Hippies despise their bodies, he said, because from very early ln life other people had control over them. There must be time for a youth to think about who he is, where he is going and why, Bettelheim concluded. The Vienna-born speaker is the author of eight books and is a frequent contributor to professional and popular Journals.

He has been described as "counter-Spock" in his beliefs and "the Dr. No of child care authorities." Union Motions Common Pleas Judge William J. Morrissey took under submission Tuesday a request from the public employees unions involved in a 32-day strike to dismiss court actions against them.

Dr. Bruno Bettelheim advised his audience, mostly mothers, that parents hurry their children too much, from breast feeding through meaningless school graduations. "We should not push them in the direction we want them to go," he said. He urged parents to respect and trust their children by allowing them to have the chance to learn for themselves even if it means making mistakes. He said neither schools nor society enable a youngster to find the answers to the critical question, "Who am the focus of his speech.
