On the other hand as Acme is proving an alert and angry public eager to assist the hard-pressed police and other law agencies, can be the criminal's most effective enemy.

Watson, board chairman of International Business Machines brought to the American Council on Education annual meeting last week in Washington, D. C. "In the blazing light of man made comets, the continuing need for an appropriate balance between science and the humanities has been blotted out," he declared.

Watson said a recent survey showed that nearly all natural scientists could expect to earn at least $5,000 or more a year immediately upon receiving a doctor of philosophy degree whereas fewer than one-half of those who studied in the humanities could expect to command such a salary. He also noted that the lion's share of federal research funds consistently goes ta the physical and biological sciences. There can be no doubt about the tremendous scientific ad- King Syndicate, 1963. World rights reserved. wish one of them would go--I have so much to tell either one of them about the other one!"

DEAR ABBY: I've always Your Money's Worth By Sylvia Porter "Profits are at a record high now. They have never been higher in history and the whole year of 1963 looks very good President Kennedy, press conference, Oct, 10. To the surprise of Kennedy, his chief economic advisers and the overwhelming majority of American businessmen, this is true. This year corporation profits, before and after taxes, are achieving an historic breakthrough to peaks never before touched. While, of course, there are exceptions from industry to industry and corporation to corporation, the overall rise in profits has been steep, has topped just about every prediction made in early 1963.

In the second quarter after tax profits smashed all records at an annual rate of $27 billion and first reports indicate the rate in the third quarter was even higher. Most significant U.S. companies are not only showing peak profits but are increasing their after-tax profit per dollar of sales as well. At last, the profit squeeze is easing, profit margins are widening. At midyear, manufacturers were earning a net profit per dollar of sales of 5 cents, up from 4.2 cents in the first quarter and the best profit margin since the big boom of the 1950s.

The importance of this favorable trend to all of us as individuals and to our entire economy is immense. Record profits and widening profit margins are not only 1957-59. But the key point is that prices are holding and many are creeping up. Add rising demand, controlled costs and firm prices and the result is the bright profit picture of 1963. Now still to come are stimulating tax cuts for individuals and corporations.

These will accelerate business spending on more cost-controlling plants, will make U.S. industry more competitive in markets at home and abroad, will keep profits rising further.

The defendant in both cases is Joseph Bolte, 54, of 71 Riverhills Holland. The plaintiffs claim that Bolte was the driver of a 1963 car involved in an accident on M-21 near Zeeland on May 22, 1963. Both Knowles and Meeusen were passengers in the Bolte car driven for hire. Both plaintiffs suffered injuries in the accident. Dear Ami Landers: I am a boy 17 years old who has never had a serious conversation with either of my parents.

It seems incredible that people can live under the same roof for so many years and never experience an exchange of ideas, but I swear it's the truth. My parents are both professional people, socially prominent and well-respected in the community. They are good speakers and in demand as lecturers. But they don't know how to talk to their own son. I have tried to get my parents to talk to me but I've failed.

They are polite, they clothe, feed and instruct me but they haven't the faintest idea of how I feel about anything. My best friend's father never saw the ninth grade. works in an automobile factory. His mother is a dressmaker. Yet there is fun and laughter and real conversation in their home.

They are all friends. What is wrong in our house? HIGH WALL Dear High Wall: In a word -no communication. The time to start talking to children is the moment they are born. Parents who don't think their youngsters have any ideas worth listening to find one day that their children are strangers. Educated a are not necessarily successful parents.

No course in college teaches warmth, love and how to give and share. Such feelings are caught not taught. Dear Ann Landers: My problem is a wife who is a spender. I work two jobs and make excellent money. I turn everything over to her and she gives me $5 a week.

We are forever being dunned by bill collectors. We can't afford a really nice vacation or a new car, but we seem to have money for everything and anything a door-to-door salesman has to sell. We borrowed money from my family five years ago to make a down-payment on our home. This debt has not been repaid and I feel rotten about it because I know my folks could use the money. My wife is a good mother and a pleasant person but I'm tired both physically and mentally with this disorganized, frustrating way of life.

What's the answer? DOWN IN THE DUMPS Dear Down: Tell your wife the noble experiment is over and now you will handle the money and" give her an allowance. Plan a budget and stick to it. And please don't fail to include a monthly payment to your parents. now it was my weakness, not his. Today I am sad and sorry.

My "Vincent" is 22 years old and he can't decide what necktie to wear in the morning. He barely got out of high school and he stayed in college three weeks and then came home -like Vincent, who couldn't stay at camp. My son has no friends, either boys or girls. All he wants to do is hang around with me and the other widows in my crowd. He is an overgrown baby and I am to blame.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. VINCENT NUMBER TWO'S MOTHER Dear Mother: Getting it off your chest doesn't do much for your son. This boy needs professional help and I you will see that he gets it. Confidential to SHOULD I OR SHOULDN'T You should not. Tell him to take a long walk on a short dock.

When the 41.000-mile system of super-highways is finished it should prevent the deaths of 2.000 more motorists a year, according to the same survey cited Tuesday by federal highways administrator Rex M. Whitton.

Mackie said his department's planning division would make the decision on a number for the Grand Rapids-Benton Harbor section, and he hoped to make the change by the end of the year so the new designations could be included on the 1964 highway maps.
