Fat man 'not jolly' says psychoanalysts' report MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) The popular image of the jolly fat man is wrong, says a report of the American Academy of Psychoanalysts. The overweight person, it says, is likely to be depressed, anxious and filled with self-loathing. And while psychoanalysis can help obese persons be happier, in most cases it will not result in dramatic weight reduction, the report said. The report, the result of a three-year study of fat people and psychoanalysis, was presented here at a meeting of the Academy of Psychoanalysts.

Dr. Albert Stunkard, professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, said 147 persons were included in the study 84 of them obese and the rest slim. The obese subjects ranged in age from 30 to 50 and averaged 197 pounds for women and 247 pounds for men. Although about 64 per cent of the fat patients lost small amounts of weight during two or three years of psychoanalysis, Stunkard said, weight reduction was "not as good as the hotshot programs focusing on weight loss" such as Weight Watchers and Overeaters Anonymous. He said the study showed psychoanalysis effectively improved the obese patients' body images.

Stunkard's associate, Colleen Rand, said 70 per cent of the obese patients considered themselves unattractive compared to 18 per cent of the slim subjects. "In our sample, 41 per cent avoided looking at themselves in mirrors," said Miss Rand. "Some did not even have any mirrors in their homes." Although most did not ask for help in reducing, "we found that obese persons thought they were ugly and showed great evidence of body image disparagement," she said. She said they described themselves as "fat slobs" or looking like a "tub lard." Funeral Notices Edith M. Clark, in Walnut Creek, May 7, 1976.

Oakland, 94612 24 Hours Cem. Bkr. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Striking up a melodious chorus with their clanging bells, rickety cable cars once again climbed San Francisco's famous hills Saturday following the end of a 38-day strike by city employes. Labor leaders ordered their men back to work after reaching a compromise agreement early Saturday following nearly nine hours of shuttle negotiations. The agreement leaves the controversial pay cuts unsettled while an 11-man studies and then finding committee recommends a solution.

Some 1,800 employes, about one tenth of the municipal work force, walked off their jobs March 31 rather than accept $5.7 million in pay cuts. The workers plumbers, machinists, electricians, carpenters all belong to trades unions which had enjoyed a lucrative pay formula until voters repealed it last November. The strike shut down the city's public transportation when bus drivers decided to honor the picket lines. About 250,000 daily riders were forced seek other forms of transportation. But within a few hours of the compromise, Municipal Railway officials began servicing the system's more than 1,000 buses, trol- gear.

The first diesel bus finally rolled back on the street before noon. As the first cable car trundled toward the top of Nob Hill, several new passengers leaped aboard with bottles of champagne for an impromptu party celebrating the return of service. Elsewhere, San Francisco General Hospital reported that garbagemen began removing a mountain of foul-smelling refuse from outside the facility. The garbagemen, who work for private companies, had refused to cross picket lines during the strike. The water department said it would begin repairing the dozens of leaks in its system on Monday.

The fact-finding committee will consist of five labor leaders, five supervisors and Mayor George Moscone. Joe O'Sullivan of the Carpenters Union; Franz Glen, electricians; Stan Jensen, machinists; Joe Mazzola, plumbers; and Stan Smith, building trades, were chosen to represent labor's side on the committee. The supervisors were expected to announce their choices Monday, and the committee had until June 10 to issue its recommendations. Supervisors also agreed to withdraw two anti-labor measures from the June election ballot.

Tax on big incomes a target WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Finance Committee is moving to change the law that allowed 244 Americans with incomes above $200,000 to escape the federal income tax entirely in 1974. Even so, there still would be no guarantee that every wealthy person will pay at least some tax. The issue will reach the decision stage Tuesday when the committee 1 resumes consideration of a broad tax-revision bill already passed by the House.

Discussion of the proposal has indicated enough support from committee conservatives and moderates to win approval. The committee plans to tighten the "minimum tax," which was enacted in 1969 in an effort to ensure that every rich person pays at least some federal tax. That tax now applies to about 55,000 of the nation's richest persons. The plan envisioned by Sen. Russell B.

Long, the committee chairman, would raise the number to around 154,000. This would bring the Treasury an additional $700 million to $800 million in taxes each year, compared with about $1.3 billion under the minimum tax approved by the House. Tax experts say the 244 rich Americans who avoided federal taxation altogether in 1974 represent only the tip of the iceberg. They and many more are able to reduce their taxable income to zero through the deduction of such expenses as interest, state and local taxes and depreciation of property. The tax owed is reduced even further by paying a lower tax rate on capital gains, which are increases in the value of investments.

The 1969 law imposes a 10 per cent tax, on top of reguJar income taxes, on certain large deductions known as but the taxpayer is allowed to exempt from the minimum tax the first $30,000 of preferences and the regular income tax. Thus, a person with $100,000 of taxable income, $100,000 of preferences and a regular income tax of $45,000 would pay an additional "minimum tax" of $2,500. "The plan under consideration by the Finance Comwould eliminate the $30,000 exemption, raise the tax rate to 14 per cent, and allow the taxpayer to exempt from the minimum tax either $5,000 or regular taxes paid, whichever is larger. Using the same income and preference figures as in the earlier example, the taxpayer's minimum tax would go up to $7,700. The House voted to tight- VIPs acknowledge their alcoholism WASHINGTON (AP) "My name is Dick Van Dyke, and I'm an alcoholic." That admission came Saturday not only from the actor but from 51 other prominent personalities, in an attempt to remove the stigma attached to alcoholism and to prove not all alcoholics are found on skid row.

Former astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, second man to walk on the moon, TV personality Garry Moore and Rep. Wilbur D. Mills were among the VIPs joining Van Dyke in acknowledging their alcoholism at a news conference. The majority of the celebrities previously had not publicly identified themselves as alcoholics.

"For a long time, all of us stayed in the Moore said. "It makes me jubilant to come "It's a great day, a great step forward," he added. "We're hoping that the en the minimum tax on individuals by raising the rate to 14 per cent, reducing the $30,000 exemption and eliminating entirely the exemption for regular income taxes. The House has agreed to the list of "preferences," which would have the effect of further tightening the minimum tax. The Finance Committee appears ready to go along with this idea but perhaps with a different list of preferences.

Even with the amendments, many Americans still will be able to avoid income taxes if they pay taxes abroad or invest heavily in tax-free municipal bonds. stigma of alcoholism will be somewhat removed. It's a beginning," added Van Dyke. "There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of." Included was a cross section of society: entertainment, sports and political figures, clergymen, journalists, businessmen, military officers, a labor leader, the chief of an Indian nation and a member of Britain's House of Lords. Although most were not acquainted, they laughed, joked, applauded and cheered each other.

"We meet as instant friends," said Marty Mann, founder of the National Council of Alcoholism and herself a participant. "We understand each other." The VIPs told different stories of what triggered their alcoholism, how they drank and how they recovered, but they all seemed to share the view of a doctor-participant that alcoholism "was pure hell. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy." "Buzz" Aldrin, one of the first astronauts who landed on the moon, said he didn't realize he was an alcoholic until he entered a hospital last August. He said he didn't think he had a drinking problem when he left the space program, but that the depression that set in after his moon flight apparently later aggravated a drinking problem. Among others on the dais were actors Tom Ewell and Dana Andrews, actress Mercedes McCambridge, veteran journalist Adela Rogers St.

Johns, CBS-TV Vice President Thomas Swafford, former baseball FBI chief apologizes FULTON, Mo. (AP) FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley on Saturday issued his first public apology for past FBI misdeeds such as the campaign to harass and disrupt militant political groups and discredit their leaders. "We are truly sorry we were responsible for instances which now are subject to such Kelley said. "We need to make it clearly understood that we recognize errors players Ryne Duren and Don Newcombe, former Sen.

The news conference was sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism in conjunction with a council-sponsored national forum on alcoholism. and have learned from them." His remarks were in a speech prepared for a lecture series sponsored by the John Findley Green Foundation at Westminster College. The speech was a striking departure from the tone and content of Kelley's previous public statements about FBI misdeeds and the congressional investigations of the agency. Kelley for the first time acknowledged that FBI officials had abused their power and he subtly criticized his predecessor, the late J.

Edgar Hoover, for allowing the abuses. The director's decision to make such statements provoked internal debate as some FBI officials lined up in favor of it and others expressed opposition, agency sources said in Washington. "Will there be people here upset with the speech? Oh, sure. But there were hadn't others said upset because heos it before, one source acknowledged..
