She said problems were inevita ble because rapid cultural change disturbs the established psychologi cal equilibrium. “The unconscious lags behind, making emotional readjustment dif ficult. Individual ego strength and flexibility are put to the test.” Dr. Moulton, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, said she found remark able changes in the symptoms of women patients she saw between 1953 and 1956 and between 1973 and 1976. The problems of the ‘50s group revolved around sex, marriage and child rearing. Sexual problems were paramount with many patients suf fering from various degrees of frigid ity. Art?

The attitudes of the women she studied were much freer and, although divorce was more com mon, sex played a much less impor tant role in marital conflicts. She said she saw four major classes of problems in women she treated in the past few years: — Re-entry anxiety. The process of a long-homebound woman re turning to work in the outer world required tremendous effort on the part of many patients. “They had dropped out of the job market or college because of early marriages, fears about achieving in dependence or deep convictions of inadequacy. , — Performance anxiety. Some j patients had difficulty in asserting themselves, as when they were called on to speak in public. Dr^ Moulton said some wdmen experi ence such overwhelming anxiety that they feel faint and are forced to leave the room. — Self-assertion anxiety.

Oscar Mauzy, D-Dallas. Mauzy said the proposal by Sen. Tom Creighton, D-Mineral Wells, would force owners of nonagricul- tural land in many urban school dis tricts to pay higher taxes. Mauzy and other opponents yes terday blocked Senate consideration of the measure to permit tax as sessments on farm, ranch and timber lands based on the produc tivity of the property. Creighton argued unsuccessfully that agricultural producers are being driven out of business by taxes based on land’s market value. “Agricultural lands are being sold simply because they cannot make enough money to pay the taxes,” Creighton said. “What we are trying to do is keep agricultural land in the production of food and fiber.’ Creighton said the measure would increase taxes paid by farm ers and ranchers in many rural areas, but would provide tax relief for ag ricultural landowners on the out skirts of cities where land prices are spiraling. Sen. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, said Creighton’s proposal would give tax breaks to corporations as well as individuals owning agricultural land. Senators voted 24-6 to debate the proposal — one vote short of the four-fifths majority needed to con sider a bill during the first 60 days of a legislative session. The Senate approved and sent to the House bills to expand invest ment opportunities for insurance companies, exempt charity auctions from sales taxes and prohibit munic ipal utilities from condemning land for lignite. The Senate approved 25-6 and 24-7 bills by Sen. O. H. Harris,' R-Dallas, to elitniriate certain re strictions on life-insurance company investents in corporate sepurities and oil royalties. Mauzy complained the bills qpuld lead to inside dealing between companies. Sen. Max Sherman, D-Amarillo, won 30-1 passage of his bill exempt from sales taxes merchan dise sold at once-a-year auctions conducted by religious', charitable or educational groups. The restriction on utility com panies’ power to condemn land was approved 29-2. Sen. William T. Moore, D-Bryan, said representa tives of the Municipal Power Pool had threatened to condemn the land of Grimes County landowners who balked at prices offered for their coal. Interest in breakfast needs for kids may create morning meal in Consol Is there a need for serving break fast at school? The A&M Consoli dated School District is trying to find out. Ann Barton, Food Services Direc tor, at A&M Consolidated is working with principals in the Consolidated schools to determine if there is enough interest in a breakfast pro gram in this school district. “The principals feel there’s not as much need for one here as in, say, Bryan,” Barton said. “But if enough parents express the need (for a breakfast serving) we’ll develop a program.
