Women Uniferested Women Uninterested Reasoning Powers Are Largely Equal By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor .NEW YORK (UP) — A scientific investigation has verified something long suspected of women- When it comes to solving problems, they’re not very good and they're net nearly as good as men. But the investigation showed this wasn't because their reasoning power s are weaker than men's, as many authorities have asse r t e d Lexampie: Wil/aTtT James, the great Americans psy.chologist, said: "Woman/is the unreasoning animal.”) Women arer.'t much good ,at solving problems because they don't much care whether problems are solved or not, the investigation found. When persuaded t* buckle down to working on problems, women did quite well solving them. Keeps Bias out All this information emerged from elaborate experimentations with living specimens land with living men, too) designed by a f e m a 1 e psychologist. Naturally since she is a scientist, Dr. Gloria: L. Carey of Swarthmore College, kept her “sex bias” out of it. Dr. Carey experimented with 12 women and 12 men. Both . groups had been found to be ‘ equal in matters of inteligence, i aptitudes for mathematical think- . ing and for expressing them- , selves, and in abilities to com- ( prehend what they heard and , were told. Her first picking from testing their minds comparatively was aj,

man really wanted to solve pro blems and the. women, in general, clear demonstration that they didn’t. Stimulate Interest Then followed an experimental step which involved a well concealed effort to increase the interest of both men and women in problem solving- After that, both were given more problems to solve. The women improved a great deal, the men hardly at all. Dr. Carey thought this showed that all women needed in order to solve problems as effectively as“ men, was the desire to do so. Reporting to the American Psychological Assn. She pointed out that women often say they're not up to it when asked to solve a problem. Farm Labor Supply, Demand In Balance No Labor Shortage On Indiana Farms INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—The Indiana Employment Security Division reported today that the farm labor supply and demand "are in balance at present.' ’.. , A report in the weekly farm labor bulletin said no labor shortage was anticipated before May 15, when several small groups of 5 to 10 workers will be needed for blocking direct - seeded tomato acreage. The report by areas said by present labor needs in the Anderson area in setting tomato plants were filled by local workers, and there was "very limited agricultural activity at present" in the Columbus, Evansville, Lafayette, New Castle, Peru and Vincennes areas.

Movie Industry In Fight For Survival Goldwyn Says Fit To Emerge Stronger EDITORS NOTE: Is the motion picture industry -going to pull through the battle against television? Statistics show less than 40 million people are going to the movies today compared with 85 million in 1946. Here is an answer from one of tire shrewdest of the movie makersBy JACK V. FOX HOLLYWOOD (UP) — Samuel Goldwyn, still at the top of the vival of the fittest” but that the fit would emerge stronger than ever. —“The trouble is there aren’t enough of the fittest in Hollywood to make as many pictures as Hollywood—has—been —making," Goldwyn said. Sitting on a porch of his lovely home in Beverly Hills, Goldwyn talked candidly about the future of the movies, the competition of television and «pau-TV*,.<iift gbmg-- to - mean. ' • —*— Goldwyn is one of the two real pioneers still left in Hollywood. The other is Cecil B. DeMille whose “Ten Commandments” is now grossing 75 million dollars. Goldwyn himself is now embarked on another giant movie venture, “Porgy and Bess.” Goldwyn said bluntly that a lot of people were going to get hurt before the motion picture industry pulls through the present crisis. Theater Owners' Problem “Four or fve thousand small move theaters have closed the past few years aind I think thousands more are going to cI d s e,” he said, “That's the theater owners’ problem-, and It’s a real one. “The producers’ problem is that today there is no middle ground. A picture is either a resounding success or a great failureGoldwyn said the industry- had undergone three major developments in its first half-century.

“Silent pictures were a tremendous success at first,” he recalled, but in the middle 20’s attendance started dropping off badly. "Then sound came along. I remember one man told me: ‘audiences don’t want to be annoyed by sound. They want to relax or even get a little sleep in the theater. I told him. ‘that’s the trouble. We've been pitting them to sleep.’ . "Will, we wake them up and pictures wire pretty good until they became overloaded with dialogue. In addition, every composer from Tin Pan Alley came our here fur musicals: It got so bad that I remember some theaters even advertised, ‘absolutely no music in this picture.' “Hollywood licked that — But during the war, when there were few competing forms of entertainment; the industry got lazy due to too 'much success. After the war a lot of things, including TV. caught up with us. “Then we got cinemascope, the large screen which revived new interest But what happened? The quality of the pictures did not always measure up to the size of the screen. A poor picture on a large screen is just that much worse. The only way Hollywood can get ahead is with really good pictures: Predicts Pay TV “The audience is there, if the picture is good entertainment. ‘Around the World in 80 Days', ‘The Ten Commandments,’ Guys and Dolls’, ‘Peyton Place,’ Bridge on the River Kwai,’ Sayonara' ‘A Farewell to Arms’ and pictures of that calibre proved that conclusively. "The situation now is a matter of survival of the fittest and those who are fit are going to come out stronger than ever, with better pictures and good busi--1 ness. You remember they said ; motion picture would kill the legitimate thbater. They didn’t. stronger ■. and better than* ever-before*''*' I Goldwyn predicted the nation was going to have pay TV—“and nothing is going to stop it, not the FCC, nor Congress nor anyone else, because the people want ’ it.” “But I see it, at anyway, largely as a means of bringing the people unusual events, particularly sports like baseball. “As for first - run pictures on pay TV, people are not going to pay for a bad picture on TV any more than they are going to pay to see a_poor one at the theater,” said Goldwyn.

Auto Manufacturers Show Sharp Decline O' Poor First Quarter Industry Showing NEW YORK (UP)— The auto industry dfbve through the first quarter of 1958 in low gear. General Motors and Ford, the industry’s two biggest producers, suffered sharp declines in earnings and third-ranked Chrysler actually ran in the red. The poor first quarter showing of this key industry explains why manufacturers and auto dealers are putting such stress on the “You Auto Buy Now” campaign being conducted across the country. General Motors reported Tuesday that its net income for the initial three months of 1958 fell 29 per cent to $184,601,266, or 65 cents a share, from $261,357,742, or 93 cents a share a year ago. GM’s dollar sales were off 11.8 per cent to $2,721,373,342 from $3,076,974,030 in the initial quarter of 1957. The corporation’s domestic pro duction fell 17 per cent to 780.941 cars and trucks, but its Canadian and overseas output rose 50 per

Chrysler lost $15,139,802 in the first quarter, against a net profit of $46,545,521, or $5.34 a share a year earlier. The steel industry is another that has been hard hit by the recession. The auto industry is its biggest customer. U.S. Steel Corp, also reported Tuesday that its first quarter sales and earnings dropped off sharply from a year ago. However, “Big Steel'' Chairman Roger M. Blough told a press conference that the outlook “is better now than at any time in the last six months for a bottoming out and for an improvement " Fifty Years Ago BURLINGTON, Vt — W» — When Henry Lane, 75, was brought into Chittenden municipal court for a minor road violation, he admitted a previous conviction for speeding.
