OLD FRIENDS—A reunion in Lawrence took place this week for Frederick J. Moreau, left, KU professor of law and former dean of the School of Law, and Hassan Afchar, a senator in the legislature of Iran. Prof. Moreau was in Iran in 1957-58 as a professor at the University of Teheran, and met Mr. Afchar then.

Iranians Are Skeptical of Russian Disarmament Plan
ic- It not
A member of Iran's legislative body says that Iranians are skeptical of the Soviet proposal for disarmament.
"The people of Iran have been associated with the Russians so much that they realize the Soviets do not mean everything they say," Hassan Afchar told a UDK reporter immediately before he left Lawrence yesterday.
Relations Are Very Good
The Iranian senator, a professor of law at the University of Teheran, Iran, is touring the United States. While in Lawrence Dr. Afchar visited Frederick Moreau, dean of the School of Law, and Mrs. Moreau. The Moreaus knew Dr. Afchar when Dean Moreau taught in Teheran in 1957.
Dr. Afchar talked about relations between Iran and the United States. He said, "Relations between Iran and the United States are very good indeed. However, my country has had to make certain sacrifices because of its good relations and feelings toward your government."
He did not say what sacrifices his country had made.
Mrs. Moreau explained, "The people of Turkey, Pakistan, and Iran are not like the Arabs in most of the countries surrounding them. Many of the Arabs tend to be more influenced by the Soviet Communists. The Arabs often shun the Iranians because they do not cooperate with the communists."
"No other country has as much borderline with Russia as Iran does. This border should be watched closely. There are absolutely no Communists working in the governments of Iran, Pakistan, or Turkey." Mrs. Moreau continued.
No Reds In Iran's Government
universities and those of the University of Teheran, Dr. Afchar said;
"A student exchange program financed by the two governments would be welcome. However, such a program would mean teaching U. S. students to speak the Iranian language and teaching more students english. But this could be done."
In reference to a possible student exchange program between U. S.
Fits of Depression Called an 'Assassin'
By Delos Smith UPI Science Editor
NEW YORK—(UPI)—A psychiatric scientist calls attention to the personal "assassins" which some people carry around inside themselves. He gave that formidable name to fits of mental depression because they "assault social and domestic relationships and devastate the emotional economy of their victims."
Intense Focus Upon Self
These depressive episodes relentlessly build up the intensity of the victim's focus upon himself and his bodily processes, continued Dr. Rosser P. Atkinson of the famous Lahey Clinic of Boston. In time, "he loses the rationale of his relationship to his environment.
"Guided by the impulsive ideation that action will relieve the onerous pressure of feelings that can no longer be tolerated, some individuals will divorce and re-marry, some will seek extra-marital partners; others sell or neglect businesses, or take severe speculative risks.
Nine Iranian students are studying on the KU campus at their own expense. As far as Dr. Afchar and Mrs. Moreau knew, there are no U. S. students studying at the University of Teheran.
"Economic and moral judgments are suspended. Previous personal standards disintegrate and friends and relatives are bewildered, angered or shocked by the vast personality upheaval.
Atkinson directed these remarks to general medical practitioners on the grounds that many aspects of psychiatry were poorly taught in medical schools up to eight or ten years ago and some of the older grads were disinclined to accept psychiatry's understanding of "depressive episodes."
"Some will resort to drugs and alcohol, as well as to other excesses. Many become wracked with guilt and disclose past indiscretions to their marital partners and other important figures."
The emotional reactions of depression "place intense demands upon physical structures, especially the cardio-vascular and gastrointestinal system and the pancreas, but any organ may suffer," he said. So it's easy enough for a doctor to treat the physical result of the depression and ignore the depression, especially since the latter is not easily identifiable in its earliest stages.
Physical Structures Hurt
"Depression is anger turned inward and it causes severe discomfort," he continued. "In the earliest stages, the individual fights back and seeks to externalize this anger. As rational creatures, we have to justify anger before we can externalize it, however faint the justification may be.
"The sense of proportion is gravely perverted. Persons usually blamed by the patient include the marital partner, children or parents who have not loved him enough, or employers who have not appreciated his true worth."
Dr. Afchar's visit to the United States is a part of the U. S. Cultural Exchange program whereby individuals visit this country under the auspices of the federal government. Dr. Afchar will visit Detroit, Boston, and San Francisco before he returns to Iran to report on the conditions which he observed while he was here.
He made special mention of a connection between periodic drunkards and depressive episodes. "Treatment is deemed useless," he said, yet when there is a careful investigation "it is usually found that drinking begins when an episode of physic depression begins."
In 147 cases he treated with drugs in 1958, he had a 70.1 per cent success. Electric shock treatment is even more effective, he added, but that requires hospitalization and patients often feel there is a stigma attached to it whereas they don't mind taking medicine.
Attkinson said the "Psychic energizer" drugs were highly effective but one had to be careful of possible untoward reactions.
