...faced a black future. As with other sex deviates, confinement might intensify his condition, prepare him for further offenses and a lifetime of abnormality after release. Because he had already begun to act out his neuroses, many private psychoanalysts would be reluctant to treat him. A conscientious case worker in juvenile court sized up Jim's situation, put through a hasty telephone call to Seattle's Ryther Child Center, a small (165 patients) social agency dealing exclusively with emotionally disturbed youngsters...
Resistance. Ryther was the natural place to turn for help. Founded in 1935 and developed into a treatment center by Lillian Johnson, a career social worker who is now executive director, it has scorned stuffy precedents, snatched many a "hopeless" case from the door of a state school or mental institution by entering difficult areas of child therapy. Its formula : a combination of dedicated social workers, psychoanalysts and house staffers giving treatment in an informal but disciplined family atmosphere (there are no bars or locks at Ryther). The center has become the model for 20 other residential-type child treatment...
Ryther accepted Jim. (Jim accepted Ryther only after he and his parents reluctantly decided that the center was better than a state institution.) The boy began a series of weekly consultations with William Gleason, a social worker and former (1938) halfback for the University of Washington, who regularly consulted with Dr. Edith Buxbaum, a psychoanalyst attached to the center. At first the interviews were unproductive; Jim missed many, or showed up hostile and taciturn for others. But the counselors steadily broke down his resistance over a six-month period by treating him as an adult and convincing him that they...
...U.A.W. the guaranteed-wage plan was not only a collective bargaining problem; it was also a political issue. Many states have laws or administrative rulings that bar unemployment payments as long as a worker receives money from his employer. The union's lobbyists are going to work to get them changed, because the Ford agreement to G.A.W. is off unless the governments in states containing two-thirds of Ford employees agree by June 1, 1957 to permit the supplemental G.A.W. payments...
...same scale of benefits: four weeks of layoff pay at 65% of normal take-home wages (including state unemployment compensation) and 22 weeks more at 60% of normal. The overall contract package, including increases in wages and welfare provisions, cost General Motors 22? an hour per worker compared to 20? an hour for the Ford package. Reuther, it turned out, had been somewhat optimistic in predicting to his union delegates a substantially bigger payoff from G.M. than from Ford...
