ABCD Analysis Both Good and Bad By MART McGRORT WASHINGTON It was a dubious encounter between the senators and the psychiatrists at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The trouble was that all senators are amateur psychiatrists and the two psychiatrists were avowedly amateur geo-poli-ticians.

Both sides were so afraid of trespassing on each other's territory that they never really met Chairman J. William Fulbright, who has been analyzing American character as revealed in its foreign policy, called in the two experts Charles E. Osgood of the University of Illinois and Dr. Jerome D. Frank, Johns Hopkins University to corroborate his view that Americans can break the obnoxious behavior pattern of the large, rich nations cf history.

The psychiatrists would not commit themselves to his "arrogance of power" theory or help him expose what he considers our neurotic fear of other nations. Finally, Fulbright said, with some asperity, "It is the duty of psychologists to change that, isn't it? Who is going to change human nature if you are not?" The two mind readers looked at him with compassionate smiles. They were apparently accustomed to being mistaken for magicians. It was a clash of two disciplines. Politicians want answers to problems.

Psychologists ventilate situations. "What is the matter with us?" Sen. Fulbright demanded. Osgood, a gray-haired man rather given to the language of his trade, said, "We are rotating our sense of responsibility onto the parallels with this great fear." If Fulbright was frustrated in his attempt to lind professional endorsement of his diagnosis of our power syndrome, other senators suffered evn more from the communications gap. Sen.

"We are all biological mechanisms, aren't we? Is there any question about that? Is there any question that survival is the prime law of nature?" The experts who had finished presenting long papers designed to show that people of every nation are in the grip of some ideological obsessions which give them a larger identity but which clouds their vision and judgment, sighed. Dr. Frank said, "People give up their bodies to preserve themselves." Sen. Hickenlooper went to the animal world. "What about lions and tigers?" Osgood explained that "one of the main things which divides man from animals is his language and his capacity to symbolize." Hickenlooper retreated.

"I don't know how you get hold of the psyche and push it around to where you want it." Sen. Clifford P. Case seemed even more unnerved by the large, vague concepts being run past him. He demanded therapy, not analysis. How would they advise Britain to deal with Rhodesia, he wanted to know.

How should Israel regard the Arabs? How should the Russians cope with the Red Chinese? The experts begged off, pleading the limited application of their observations. Finally Sen. Case decided that the experts and Sen. Fulbright were being entirely too clinical about their native land. "We're not as bad as many countries," he said stoutly.

Sen. Fulbright tried to soothe him. "I don't want to leave the impression we're acting worse than any other great nation." The chairman seemed resigned to the fact that if the country was ready for the couch, the senators were not. He abandoned his pioneer experiment in professional soul-searching with a tentative, "Well, the point is, if there is any point.

Dr. Brock Chisholm, a Canadian psychiatrist and former director-general of the World Health Organization and former president of the World Federation for Mental Health, cautioned about the racial complications of United States involvement in Viet Nam and elsewhere.

The United States, Chisholm said, cannot escape the fact that non-white nations are suspicious of the white race. An underlying image of the foreign "exploiter exists, he said, even where there is "a degree of cooperation." In Viet Nam, he said, the United States tends to receive some of the hostility about foreigners that in the past has been directed against the Chinese and the French. things and lots of bad School department wasn't ad- tuuiiaeiurs, were justified. xne Kooa news inciuaea a ministprintr Headstart cor clean bill of health from audi- rectly asked the other mem- tors who had gone over their bers of the board, "Who wants iflri AUU books for the four months of the Boston School Committee OSfotl mil?

Then followed PLACE SETTING III II II TWICE AS MUCH By GLORIA NEGRI Staff Keporter It has become a familiar sight at Logan Airport these days.

A big jet comes in. A coffin is unloaded, a somber military escort by its side. A ground stewardess is asked about the arrival time of a serviceman's flight and she will say routinely: "If you're looking for a Marine or soldier from Viet Nam, perhaps you should check the air freight service. We have an average of three bodies arriving from Viet Nam a week." It was different at Logan Wednesday. A Marine came home from Viet Nam, 3.5 pounds lighter than when he left 13 months ago.

Twenty-year-old Cpl Anthony J. Alfama, who joined the Marines after graduating from Sacred Heart High School in East Boston three years ago, will be home for good after August. The Alfama home is at 205 Saratoga East Boston. Around 4:15 Wednesday afternoon, the Alfamas and their friends started to arrive at the TWA terminal. The plane was due at 5.

Mrs. Elvira Alfama, petite with dark eyes, recalled that it was just 13 months ago on the same spot that "Al," had said goodbye. Asa Alfama, had taken half a day off. He is a foreman at International Rubber Corp. "Al served first on Okinawa and for the last eight months in Chu Lai in Viet Nam," Asa Alfama said.

"I forgot to order the cake and we're having the party tomorrow (Thursday) night," Elivira Alfama confided. "But," she added, "I got ravioli for tonight and all the favorite sweets Al likes to eat. And he'll have his own bed. I never took his bed apart after he left." Pretty blonde Linda Lee of Arlington, the Marine's girl friend, arrived. Her blue eyes were red.

His sister, Rosemary, 24, and brother, Paul, 23, his friend, Ronald Kelly of Medford, his cousin, Karen Tarco, 3, and his aunts Virginia Nuzzo, Emma Gelormini and Esther Cornacchia, all of East Boston, arrived. "If there was a piano here, I would play the "Marine Hymn," Aunt Emma said. The Marine's cousin. Mrs. Gloria Jones of Arlington, her husband, John, and their three children arrived.

Their youngest, Stephen Anthony, was born three months ago, and Cpl Alfama was godfather by proxy in Viet Nam. Stephen wore a sailor suit. They couldn't find a Marine outfit in his size. He carried a sign that read, "Welcome home, Al, You're the Greatest!" "The sign is just a joke," Mrs. Alfama said.

"Every time Al wrote he always told me not to worry because the Marines were tough and that he was 'the Then at 5 o'clock, the jet whined to a stop. Down the ramp came a tanned, slim Marine in khaki. There was his mother, dabbing her eyes, and his dad, standing behind her, looking almost shy and awfully proud. He swept his mother into his arms, shook hands with his father and hugged his godson, who bawled and made faces at him. "Isn't he beautiful?" the Marine said.

Then, he Linda Lee, but his girl cousins and his Sister closed in on him in happy confusion. But he found Linda Lee again, and they walked ahead of the crowd, hands entwined behind their backs. "He looks fabulous," Linda said. "She looks great," said the Marine. Asa Alfama walked a discreet distance behind, laughing and crying at the same time.

Soon, they all had left the terminal. Five hours later, another plane landed from the West Coast with a soldier from Viet Nam. He was sent through the Air Freight terminal. the American Standard Ver sion of 1901 and the Revised Standard Version of 1951. dinner fork, soup spoon, tea spoon, dinner knife, salad fork.

"Unfortunately, we can't appropriate money we don't have." This statement provoked an inquiry from Rep. John J.

Toomey (D-Cambridge), who asked Scibelli why the ways and Means Committee did not provide the House with a balance sheet, as is normally done, to show how much surplus money is available. Scibelli said, only that there was a "small surplus" left over in the budget, but that it would "disappear mighty fast if all the Republican amendments were adopted."
