PArtC 0 ™ E INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER SATURDAY, SEPnMBIR 23, 1t7l You're capable of killing, prof says

Your neighbor, your spouse, your chOd, your best friend, and everyone else you know is capable of killing you. That warning comes from Dr. Emanuel Tanay, clinical professor of psychiatry at Wayne State University. Tanay is the author of a book entitled “The Murderers." “Every human neinh is a potential killer,” said Tanay. “Any serious inquiry into the subject of homicide reveals that.” Unfortunately, there have been too few such studies. Tanay says that the public expects psychiatrist to be knowledgeable about homicide but psychiatrists have paid little attention to the subject. “Homicide is very popular for entertainment purposes as you can see every night when you turn on the television. However, for scientific purposes there is very limited interest in the subject, he said. Nevertheless, murders usually are committed by average persons, not by criminals or psychotic persons. According to Tanay, statistics indicate that nearly 80 percent of all murders are committed by common, ordinary persons. And the person usually is a friend or a loved one. “Homicide is an occupational harzard of being in life,” Tanay said, only half joking. “Psychiatrists can help re-

duce the number of homicides by helping people understand their own potential for violence,” said Tanay. “If a person is aware of his own potential for explisive discharge of aggression then I think some contribution can be made to the prevention of homicide,” he said. But he doesn’t believe the homicide rate can be significantly reduced until the means of murder is taken from people. “Most importantly, one has to inform the public that ownership of a gun is one of the major factors in the very high homicide rate in th U.S.,” he said. Tanay illustrates the effect of. guns with a story about a man who bought a handgun for protection. The man owned a bar and was counting the day’s receipts at the kitchen table preparing to take it to the bank. His gun was nearby. While the man counted the money, he began arguing with his wife. In the midst of the argument his wife, who was eight months pregnant, told him the child wasn't his. “Overwhelmed by rage, this man who bought the gun for protective purposes, used it to kill his wife," said Tanay. If the gun hadn’t been resting on the table, his wife probably would have received no more than a black eye. The bar owner, like most

Fred T. Bean, 47-year Indianapolis resident, was buried September 9 in New Crown Cemetery following services at Summers Northeast Chapel. He died September 4 at Wishard Memorial Hospital. Mr. Bean, 53, 3530 Janet Drive, was a native of Winchester, Tenn.

murderers, didn’t want to kill his wife. He didn’t buy the gun

for that purpose.

“If guns can be acquired, they will be acquired. The need for guns, particularly among insecure, threatened men, is very high,"Tanay said. These persons buy the guns for what appears to be rational,

practical reasons.

“They don’t realize the consequences of using them when they are momentarily irrational,” the professor pointed out. Tanay lives in Detroit where guns are available and the murder rate is 54 per 100,000 population. In adjoining Winsor. Ontario (Canada), where guns are unavailable due to tight government regulations the murder rate is four per

100,000 persons.

' Tanay says that is a clear indication of the effect of having handguns nearby during

family arguments.

Of course, other weapons will always be available to irrational persons - knives, clubs, or their bare hands. But handguns

make the act easier.

“The first attempt to choke someone very often lowers the level of agression to a point where the person can regain

control,” he said.

A jubilant “Circle Celebration” will covet the opening of the newly refinished Monument Circle, from 1 to 10 p.m. Saturday, October 21. Mayor William H. Hudnut and Lt. Governor Robert Orr, Greyhound features new low cost travel PHOENIX, Sept. 14, 1978The low cost of bus travel becomes even lower on Oct. 16, when Greyhound Lines, the nation's largest transportation company, lowers the prices on its popular Ameripasses. Charles D. Kirkpatrick, Greyhound vice president for sales, announced the new prices will be $99.50 for seven days, $149.50 for 15 days, and $199.50 for the 30-day Ameripass. He also announced that the expiration date of each Ameri, ass can be extended indefinitely for only $8.00 per

day.

Amerip&ss was introduce by Greyhound to provide a low cost, unlimited mileage bus ticket for travelers who want a leisurely trip with virtually no travel restrictions. “The strong growth of Ameripass in the past few years has demonstrated that the traveler is still seeking the best travel bargain without having to sacrifice comfort and convenience,” said Kirkpatrick. “The big difference between Ameripass and highly-re-stricted. so-called ‘cheap* airlines fares is that our tickets are available at all times to all passengers for use on all of our more than 115,000 miles of routes. Because Greyhound is the only bus company serving all 48 continental states, we are able to provide this unique travel plus. The Ameripass is the lowest cost, easiest to use travel fare available today in the United States.” Kirkpatrick also introduced three regional unlimited travel plans, the first of their kind in

the industry.

The California pass provides unlimited Greyhound travel within the state for 10 days for only $89.50. These passes may be extended for up to an additional five days for only

$9.96 per day.

In Florida, the statewide, seven-day pass costs only $65 for seven consecutive days with extensions of up to an additional eight days for $8.95 per day. The New England pass also permits seven consecutive days travel for only $59.95. The pass may be extended for up to eight days for only $7.95 per

day.

The New England pass is valid for travel in Maine, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Conneeticutt, and between New York dty and Montreal via Albany and intrmediate stops. It is good on both Greyhound Lines and Vermont Transit, a Greyhound subsidiary. Daily extensions must be purchased before the passes expire. Greyhound’s now unlimited travel plans and Ameripasses may be purchased beginning Oct. 16.1978. The last day any of the new passes may be used for travel is May 15,1979.
