Americans Make
Poor Parents
LOS ANGELES. (/P)—America
is on the bring of disintegration, a
top-ranking psychiatrist said to
day. Reason: the increase in di
vorce and juvenile and adult de
linquency.
Dr. Edward A. Strecker, chair
man of the psychiatry division of
the national research council,
warned in an interview that:
As parents, mose Americans are
failures. They fail to instill self
reliance in their children. Chil
dren grow into emotionally imma
ture adults unable to meet re
sponsibilities.
“Somewhere along the line.”
Dr. Strecker declared, “we have
lost our spiritual values. Through
technological advance we have ac
quired a highly materialistic civil
ization, but underneath we are
straw.”
Dr. Strecker is here to address
a post-graduate assembly of gyn
ecologists and obstetricians. He
blamed mothers for the growing
tendency to cling to the maternal
apron strings long after they
should be independent individu
als.

Women Will Put
World In Shape
DES MOINES, (iP)—The world
is in bad shape but the women
will get it straightened out, Lady
Nancy Astor says. “Just wait an
other 50 years, we’ve got a lot of
mistakes to undo,” the former
member of the British Parliament
said in an interview.
Lady Astor arrived late Friday
night to address the national farm
institute here Saturday. It was re

of Orville and Wilbur Wright, in
ventors of the airplane, will be de
picted on the movie screen.

Citizens Do Not
Cash U. S. Bonds
- |
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The gov-'
ernment is getting the use of
$340,800,000 for nothing.
It’s the value of government se
curities which have come due andi
quit paying interest without thej
owners cashing them in. Some;
date back to the middle of the last
century.
The total has gone up $34,000,-,
000 in the last 12 months.
Much of the older securities un
doubtedly have been lost or de
stroyed, officials told a reporter
today, but they are mystified by
one recent development:
The owners of $26,750,000 of a
$758,945,800 issue of bonds called
for redemption on Oct. 15 still
haven’t presented them for pay
ment.
These bonds drew 4Vi per cent
interest, the highest the treasury
paid on any of its $254,000,000,000
of interest-bearing debt.
Bonds of that kind usually are
owned by banks, insurance com
panies or others who guard them
well. Also, such investors usually
collect their money promptly so
that they can put it to work some
where else.
