"Some psychiatrists say the frailest part of us is our mind," he said. "But I think the strongest thing we have is our mind. "It can make us ill or it can accomplish anything. It can even- speed the healing of cuts.

I know this' because I can do it myself. I can heal a cut quicker than most people." Grant is convinced that what defeats most people is "their own egoes BASIC RULE "The biggest prqblem in the way. of self-improvement is the ego one's unwillingness to admit, even to one's self, one own ignorance.

What is the basic rule for self -improvement? Cary gave this answer; "First, 1 you. have to learn how' to learn.

You have to learn how to concentrate with out distraction and how to apply the Tesults of your concentration in any field of endeavor you choose." Asked 1 what had been the biggest, handicap in his own sell improvement campaign, Grant suddenly dropped his serious look, and replied smil ing: "Running off at the mouth. If I had any true wisdom, I wouldn't have need to talk about it to convince you or myself." J' FEATURED DANCERS These members of the Oakland Light Opera Association's corps de ballet are among the cost of "The Great Walts," which will end a two-weekend run at the Woodminster Amphitheater this Saturday night STANFORD UNIVERSITY, July 23 The Federal Reserve Board is carrying too great a burden in trying to hold down prices and wages through controlling the money supply, according to Theodore O. Ynte-ma. Ford Motor Co. economist Addressing the 18th Stan ford Business Conference yes terday, Yntema said tight money Nand high interest, rates discourage economic expansion and the development of new business.

Before long a political reaction is likely that will discredit the Federal Reserve System and; make; it less able to cope with business cycle fluctuations, he said. ALTERNATE APPROACH Yntema asserted that a better way to check inflation would be to cut down Government, aid to veterans and to farmers. These moves would create federal budget surpluses and enable tax cuts, he added. Business investment and ex pansion would be encouraged by reduced taxes, Yntema con tended. W.

They might be, surprised to learn what his biggest interest is when he isn'i facing the cameras. self-improvement! "I'm interested in any kind of self -improvement said Grant, who rose from a stilt-walker, and Coney. Island barker to one of the world's top-paid film -stars.

,1 "Mankind has to be interested in self-improvement. If not, we might as well give up." He feels that life for every man is a constant search for himself. "You go from one plateau to another," he said. "If a man every five years faithfully put down his views of life, love and the world, at the end of 20 years he would find a frightful mass of inconsistencies. CONTINUAL CHANGE "People cannot stay the same.

They change every second. They can't even stay the same in outward appearance." The tall, handsome actor, visiting here after completing his role in Alfred Hitchcock's comedy thriller, "North by Northwest," has learned one thing for sure about himself. Some 57 films in 33 years have given him no appetite for trag jiawwlwaMMiETFSa 1 i -i EAST lisp Tliatf out there AH (you know area You see, acre Sierra We think personal club, or launch camp in city you Write School tuilding Job Construction of Oakland's Hill Area High School will be started as soon as possible, even though it may cost more than $600,000 in excess of the budget for the job. Arid, despite hurry-up action ordered yesterday, the new school will be delayed if the nationwide steel industry shutdown is prolonged. Additional delays in signing construction contract can boost the final cost much as $20,000 per month because of rising prices, architects estimated.

After pondering cost esti mates for two months, a joint committee of the Board of Education and the Citizens School Construction Commit tee decided to go ahead with the project. They directed that bids be called for as soon as final checks of the plan are completed. NOVEMBER START Officials estimated that' bids can be sought in October and work under way by November on the $4,600,000 school on Skyline Blvd. near Fernhoff Road. The site has already been prepared at a cost of $182,000 for grading and excavation.

Architects Warnecke and Warnecke estimate the school building will cost $3,650,600. Addition of money already spent for the site and develop ment plus allowances for plans and equipment bring the total estimate to $4,623,301. But the budget for the work is only $3,965,778 $657,500 less than the estimated cost. ALTERNATES SOUGHT Alternate bids, paving the way for leaving out almost $1,000,000 worth of the high school features, will be sought. When bids are received, the joint committee will decide whether to: 1 Omit a $500,000 auditorium.

2 Omit covered walkways at a saving of $97,000. 3 Substitute 13 portable classrooms for permanent buildings to save $266,800. 4 Substitute a portable for a field house; substitute temporary for outdoor bleachers; omit certain landscaping, and delav develoDment of so parking areas at an estimated saving of $111,900. Chairman Charles P. How ard of the citizens committee said portables should be sub stituted for classrooms only an a last resort.

"Portables would be an insult to that site and school," he said. Board member Cora A Riser countered, "Elimination of the auditorium would be an insult too' ENTIRE PROJECT School administrators rec ommended bids be sought on the entire project. They said the difference between the budget and the actual cost can be made up from reserves ac cumulated as the city's $40, 000,000 school building pro gram has progressed. The committee discussed several possible changes in the original plan, but discarded all of them after learning changes would delay the project for perhaps several months Architect John Warnecke said that for. every million dollars of cost, a month's delay is resulting in a $5,000 to $7,000 boost in building prices.

"This means delays on thir project may cost $20,000 per month in the long run," he said, i Warnecke said that if the steel strike is prolonged, the start of construction will be delayed. About $300,000 worth of structural steel is needed for the school. In other action the committee: 1 Recommended a contract be awarded Tuesday to Gas-pard Construction Co. to build Melrose Elementary School. About $10,000 of the $407,000 cost should be paid for by other school funds, not bond money, the committee said.

Only was budgeted for the school. 2 Approved a $201,500 estimate for reconstruction and new shower and locker rooms at Hoover Junior High School. 3 Approved a $603,000 estimate for a new two-story Lincoln School on Alice St. 4 Agreed to finance kitchen equipment for Sequoia and Joaquin Miller Elementary schools. They were built without the equipment at a time when the school board was still weighing whether to keep cafeterias open.

5 Delayed a decision on whether to buy additional property at Roosevelt Junior High School for an elementary school. 6 Postponed until bids, are received, a decision on whether to build an auditorium and remodel the existing assembly mom at Technical High School all at once or do the work in two stages, in order to keep an auditorium available during the construction period.

Recreation Director Ross Cunningham announced today that the last vacant position, that 'of senior recreation su Dervisor. will be filled on an interim basis by Jack Nea vill, 35, of 617 Charles Ave Newark.

Neavill has been recreation! Supervisor nere since iju biiu i -trtea A the duties of his new job will be similar to those he is now performing. No permanent appointment to the post will be made until a civil service examination is held. GREATER SCOFE The recreation department position and two associate planners posts in the planning department were created by the city council to provide greater opportunities for ad vancement, and to create deputy directors for the two departments. Assistant Planners Lee Kier-nan and Ruth Potter have been promoted to the associate planner posts, but permanent appointment, as in -Neavill's case, hinges upon the outcome of a civil service examination. RIGHT-BAND MAN Neavrll, who served as an executive director with the Catholic Youth Organization in Oakland before coming here, will become No.

2 man to Cunningham, assisting him with administrative responsibilities and representing him when he is absent. It is not clear which of the two new associate planners will be deputy to planning director Douglas Joy, but, since Kiernan and Mrs. Potter each have separate specialties in the planning field, it is assumed they will share the deputy responsibilities. The three positions have a $598 to $727 salary range. Chessman Moves For New Hearing Convict-author Caryl Chessman has made another legal move in his 11-year fight to escape death in a prison gas chamber.

He asked the State Supreme Court in San Francisco to reconsider its July 7 decision and said he believed he "has a duty to the court to accord it a last clear chance to correct its own grave judicial wrongs." The court's July decision again upheld Chessman's conviction at Los Angeles in 1948 and death sentence. The petition for a rehearing is a routine requirement before Chessman can ask the United States Supreme Court to review the California Supreme Court's July 7 decision. Jet Mark ATLANTA.
