Clarkson ONLY A CERTAIN TYPE OF PERSON CAN BECOME AN ALCOHOLIC Researchers used to think so, too and tried to paint a individuals by studying personality picture of addiction-pro- ne the behavior and characteristics of chronic alcoholics. In doing so, they noted many striking similarities. The subjects were, for example, typically sensitive, easily frustrated, unable to cope with anxiety or tension, and tended toward feelings of depression and Inferiority; many showed signs of e rational Immaturity, hostility, guilt, and sexual problem.?. But the theory simply could not stand up to scientific scrutiny, mainly because no set of characteristics could be assembled that would apply to them all. Furthermore, it could not be determined if the traits they exhibited were an inherent part of their personality, or had developed as a result of their addiction. Most authorities, in fact, are inclined to say there is no such thing as an "alcoholic personality, and any type of person Is a candidate.

It says contractors on federal construction projects must pay the wages prevailing in localities where the work is to take place. More often than not this means the rate of pay in metropolitan, unionized centers, when there is no similar work or projects for purposes of comparison in the local communities, for purposes of comparison in the local communities. The enormous job of trying to implement the law belongs to the Labor Department which must make thousands of rate determinations yearly covering some 60,000 contracts and $40 billion of work.
