"WVV An 5 I Defined )(ious rersonai in uii cren It Takes More Than 'School Phobia' to Qualify, USC Doctor Says II 1 il II cc PART II EDITORIALS FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1964; anything organic because the symptoms go away on weekends and after school." Dr. Sharpe said that about 30 of every 1,000 admissions to psychiatric child guidance clinics are cases of school phobia. "And there is certainly a much larger number of cases of school phobia that are treated successfully by the family doctor or pediatrician," he said. Dr. Sharpe discussed phobias, and particularly school phobia, Thursday at a mental retardation institute at Childrens Hospital; a week-long program sponsored by the hospital and USC.

He said school phobia frequently is accompanied by other phobias, some of which he listed as fear of crowds, fear of closed places, fear of the dark and fear of heights. "These are the fears of which most people have a sampling," Dr. Sharpe said. "A true anxious personality has more than just one or two. He has a collection of them." School phobia is more common in girls than in boys, more common among the really bright children than among the slower ones, and most common among children who were bora much later than their brothers and Bisters or who are the only ones in their family.

BY GEORGE GETZE Timtt Scitnc Wrlttr Almost every child and almost every adult, too has one or two fears he cannot seem to get rid of, according to a lecturer Childrens Hospital and the USC School of But Dr. K. S. Sharpe said that until you have accumulated a regular collection of phobias that you really do not need to worry about what doctors call "an anxious personality." He said "separation anxiety" is a good example of one of the most common phobias, and it crops up first in children who develop fear of going to school. He calls this "school phobia." Although school phobia Itself is only a symptom of an underlying emotional derangement in the family, it has some symptoms of its own.

The most common, Dr. Sharpe said, is abdominal pains, but headaches, vomiting, dizziness and generalized or local pains in the arms and legs are also frequent. "They are frightening to the mother because she thinks something organic may be wrong," Dr. Sharpe however, the doctor can quickly rule out Dr Sharpe said this is probably because the mothers of only or late children focus their affection and attention on one child. The wrench when this child goes off to school is more severe as a result especially for the mother.

Subconsciously she may not want him to go to school, even though she realizes he must go," Dr. Sharpe said. "The basic emotional problem of the child with school phobia would thus seem to be the 'abnormal tie' with the mother." The first thing to realize in treating the child with school phobia is that he simply must go to school, and right away, Dr. Sharpe said. "Putting it off and dilly-dallying just makes it worse, compounds the" phobias, and makes solution all the harder," he said.

Dr. Sharpe said he is interested now in determining how children who suffered from school phobia fare in their subsequent careers in business and in their mar- -riage. The children he originally studied are just now getting out of school, so it will be several years before he finds out what percentage of them developed "job phobia" or "marriage phobia."

WORTH Some day In the not-too-distant future, the population experts say, this town and its rival neighbor Dallas will become one huge Texas-type megalopolis which will contain millions of people and rival Los Angeles for size. Just how these two feuding communities could be welded into one is something calculated to make the experts shudder. The rivalry, for years, has been blood-curdling. Ft. Worth and Dallas are the civic counterparts of the Hatfields and the McCoys.

Right at the moment Ft Worth" is crowing a bit because the big Air Force which held its convention in these parts, did most of its talking in Dallas but had to come to Ft. Worth for- its flying. -Carswell Air Force Base here boasts a concrete runway two-and-a-half miles long. Alongside it is the biggest of all factories with one great assembly floor six or eight high, 200 feet wide and a in length. You have to see It to believe it.

A Controversial Plane I This is the home of the F-111, the 'most hotly-debated airplane ever. If you listen to Barry Goldwater and to a good many people on Capitol Hill you'd think that the award of the controversial F-111 contract to General Dynamics was still in some doubt. Down here they don't think so. They point out that 13 F-llls are actually flying and that a total of 504 of them are now on order and coming along the production line. So far, contrary to reports, all deliveries have been made on time, performance requirements have been exceeded.

The F-lll's movable wings enable it to range from a high speed of more than twice the speed of sound, down to a pedestrian pace allowing it to land on an aircraft carrier. It exceeds the speed of sound at ground level. Its pilots fly in shirtsleeves no cumbersome pressurized suits In a self-contained "pod" which, in an emergency, can be separated from the plane, glide and parachute to earth and serve as a shelter for the crew in arctic or equatorial weather or serve as a boat if they land on the sea. They flew it for the Air Force Assn. the other day as one of the most fantastic fleets of gee-whiz aircraft ever seen at one time.

It was a startler as the wings moved back and forth in flight showing enormous versatility and maneuverability. But it had to share attention with the huge triple-sonic XB-70, the supersecret triple-sonic YF 12A, the mysterious U-2 and the rocket-propelled X-15 which flies so high its pilots actually qualify as astronauts. The Gee-Whiz Aircraft All of these, except the X-15, gave flight demonstrations as did the tilt-wing XC 142-A which hovers like a helicopter, takes off straight up and suddenly lights out at 400 m.p.h. plus. And, just to add spice to the occasion, there were all the various Air Force fighter-bomber types, formation flying and a fantastic exhibition of stunt stuff by Bob Hoover in a World War II P-51.

Gen. McConnellj the Air Force Chief of Staff, reminded his hearers at the convention that there is no permanent nuclear stand-off with our enemies and that constant aerial progress will be the price of peace. His listeners, after viewing the Carswell Field air show and its fantastic assortment of new-type planes came away with the feeling that, so far at least, we're keeping ahead of the emergency. lllf Mark Volman, Don Murray, Jim Tucker, Al Nichol of The Turtles react v.f.r ijLjr saucer will prove to be a real boomer, and be mass produced." As far as the young professor knows he is the inventor and owner of the only airship of its kind in the world. Dr.

Moller envisions: "Housewives in flying saucers shuttling back and forth to supermarkets secretaries, businessmen and workers commuting from home to office in the flying machines." "If all goes well with the model vertical takeoff air cushion vehicle, a mmmi i PROFESSOR HAS TESTED ONE AND IS BUILDING ANOTHER Don't Laugh at Saucers You May Be Flying One more outpost of the adult era In American culture was overrun Thursday by the teen-age tide. The shaggy-haired hordes, striking eastward from their new strongholds on the Sunset Strip, raised their banner over what once was Earl Carroll's theater-restaurant, later the Moulin Rouge. Some great names fell, to be replaced by heroes of the upstart revo-, lution. The old house actually was occupied a few months ago and turned into a teen-age night club the Hullabaloo. Thursday the rock 'n' rollers began the systematic destruction of the old gods, striking down the cement plaques on which the most illustrious names of three decades had been etched.

Liverpool Five Takes Over Humphrey Bogart, the indestructible, fell to a group called the Liverpool Five. Tyrone Power was erased by The Knickerbockers; Joan Crawford by The Vogues and W. C. Fields by The Yardbirds. Since the Carroll heyday of the 40s, such signatures had decorated the front facade of the club at 6230 Sunset in the heart of Hollywood.

They took up one whole wall, something like an ancient Assyrian frieze. Thursday morning, a shroud-like black curtain covered a block of 24 old names. It fell at noon, to cheers from the Raiders, the Turtles, the car. The flying saucer will cost about the same to operate as an automobile." He said his flying machine is "very, very, stable and will be the easiest thing in the sky to fly." Dr. Moller's saucer looks like a hamburger.

It's 14 feet across, weighs about 300 pounds, and stands 4 feet high. The interior is a maze of steel tubing with dual cut-down props flush been up in it a dozen times. Tlmti phot Palace Guards and oddly assorted camp followers. Of the old-timers so revered by a passing generation, only one name remained. Bing Crosby.

Bing, it was explained, was to have been replaced by Them, but Them are going to be put someplace else for the time being. "Bing Crosby at this time is not being replaced," said a spokesman. "After careful consideration, we decided it might be sacrilege." And when the curtain fell, there the Old Groaner's name stood just above The Yardbirds and to the right of The Vogues. Other Prominent Stars Other names obliterated, besides Bogart, Power, Crawford and Fields, included James Cagney, Judy Garland, Walter Pidgeon, Jane Robert Taylor, Loretta Young, Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Jimmy Stewart and William Powell. In their places were such meteors as Bo Diddley, Joey Paige, Ike and Tina Turner, the Grass Roots, Chad and Jeremy, the Beau Brummels and the Girls.

Surviving the first onslaught, but due to fall in the next were such as Rita Hayworth, Rudy Vallee, Boris Karloff, George Murphy, Ingrid Bergman and Frank Sinatra. "We haven't decided about Sinatra," the spokesman said. Gary Bookasta, the new entrepreneur, took over a microphone to Please Turn to Page 8, Col. 1 One Soon with the top.

engines. The exterior is aluminum sheeting and doped fabric. "My second saucer has four engines driving a single enclosed rotor. If one, two or even three of the engines quit, it can still be landed in a controlled manner," Dr. Moller said.

His second saucer, the one ha hopes will be mass produced, will be a two seater. It is scheduled to ba test flown this summer. Dr. Moller has flown his first saucer a dozen times, the first time only 6 inches off the ground, the other flights 3 feet in the air and for several hundred yards around the college airport. "I'm not a licensed pilot, that's why I haven't gone higher.

However, I am convinced it performs as planned," said the professor. "The next one will be flown by a regular test pilot above 5,000 feet and for several miles over extended periods." He said the craft normally will fly at 5,000 feet at 100 to 150 m.p.h. Dr. Moller believes his saucer has military and commercial advantages over the helicopter "as well as being the ideal family flying machine." He says it will be safer than the helicopter for jungle warfare. "Its hoverability is far superior.

Where either rotor of a helicopter is hit, that's the end of it. Propellers ara enclosed on my vehicle. "One problem with helicopters Is the relatively small amount of weight lift ability at low altitudes. It's no problem at all with my flying saucer." Dr. Moller foresees special air corridors established in urban areas to handle flying saucer travel in the future; "Micro wave beams will facilitate traffic control for saucers shuttling all over the countryside," he said.

"All a person will need do is roll the family flying saucer out the garage, turn on the Ignition, zoom straight up and away to names of "old" Hollywood stars.

He believes HOP-AC Vs" may be an answer to traffic congestion in urban centers across the country. Dr.

Moller explains that HOP-ACV is the letter designation for his vertical takeoff air cushion vehicle.
