ing that the psychologist called “un expected.” “ The amount of swearing increased noticeably when people were relaxed and happy and, though it also increased under slight stress, it decreased when they were really annoyed or tired,” she said. Pope John XXIII inaugurated re cently the preparatory phase of the forthcoming ecumenical, or universal council of the Roman Catholic Church. The Pope declared the “ ante- preparatory” phase finished a n d seated ten committees, about 500 of whose members were present at the ceremony. The committees will digest and prepare the subject matter to be discussed by the council. In a half- hour address in the Basilica of St. Peter’s, the Pope referred to the Chris tian churches that do not recognize the primacy of the See of Rome. “ One of the purposes of the council is to facilitate the return of at least some of these churches to the Roman Catholic fold.” Ecumenical councils are meetings of all Cardinals, Archbishops, Bis hops, and other prelates entitled to vote, under the presidency of the Pope, to discuss the most important questions affecting the doctrine, dog ma, and discipline of the Church. The way finally seems clear for negotiations leading to an under standing between the Roman Catholic Church and the Communist Govern ment of Yugoslavia, informed sources have reported. This development fol lowed a recent exchange of memoran da — under preparation for several months between the Council of Yugo slav Bishops and the Government It is believed that the exchange is now under study by the Vatican and sources say that direct church-state talks on normalization of relations could be expected to begin soon. The relations have been strained since the end of World War II, when the Tito regime cracked down on the Church’s position and privileges in the coun try. Much of the property of the church was nationalized and Arch bishop Alojzije Stepinac, then Pri mate of Yugoslavia and later a Car dinal, was sentenced to sixteen years in prison on charges of war crimes.

North Sea Salmon Defect From Soviet Waters
The story of how large numbers of Red salmon turned their tails on austere life behind the Iron Curtain and sought sanctuary in the North Sea was unfolded by British fishery officers recently. The story goes back to July, in the Scottish fishing village of Altens, near Aberdeen. Tom Howe, a local netsman, caught what he des cribed as an “ awful looking rogue fish.” It was a salmon but pinker and blunter about the head than those for which the Scottish rivers are famous. Eventually it was identified as a Pacific species called Oncorhyncus gorbuscha, akin to the quinnats of kingfish of the coast. Since then 10,000 rogue fish have been caught by Nor wegian and Icelandic fishermen. In quiries have disclosed that Soviet scientists obtained millions of Pacific salmon eggs from rivers of Sakhalin Island to the north of Japan. They transported them across the Soviet Union and planted them in the cold waters off the coast of Murmansk. For reasons best known to Oncorhyn cus gorbuscha, many of the fish be came dissatisfied with life in the Barents Sea and went west and south. People Swear For Joy It may be that people swear most when they are happy and stop swear ing when they are really glum. That is the impression of a British psycho logist who spent three weeks in Artie Norway, watching a group of occa sionally blaspheming bird watchers. The bird watchers, eight zoologists, were studying the effects of continu ous daylight on b i r d s’ diurnal rhythms. As they forsook sleep and comfort to stalk birds through rough country, Helen E. Ross, a school teacher and psychologist, watched the watchers. Each time a zoologist swore she recorded the event with a click of a pocket counter. She also noted the circumstances, to plot the rise and fall of swearing against the rise and fall of the zoologists’ spirits. She reported the results in the November issue of Discovery, a British science magazine Each person had his own vocabulary and habitual level of swearing and tended to maintain his own level with respect to the others no matter how much the total volume of blue lan guage rose or fell. Ultimately it was the relationship between swearing and the swearers’ feeling of well-be
