MD.-- By technique of electrically the brain, faded college student was arrested on a charge of drunk driving. At the trial, a girl was put on the witness stand to prove that the student A had been intoxicated. Promptly the young man's attorney objected to her testimony on the ground that she was not an "expert" on the subject of intoxication. The girl retorted: "I may not be an expert, but I was sitting on his lap at the time I" That was enough for the judge, who declared her testimony acceptable. The judge said she had been "close to the situation." a new shocking and forgotten dreams of Individuals may be re- created. As an example, a boy was undergoing brain surgery under a local anesthetic. The surgeon took a fine wire carrying a small charge of electricity and touched it to a certain area of the boy's exposed brain. "I see two men sitting in an armchair," the youngster exclaimed. The electrode was removed. The men in the arm-chavanished. to an- was touched the wire Then other area. This time the boy visioned "a man fighting." Dr. Wilder G. Penfield, world famed brain surgeon, told Johns Hopkins doctors that the electrical charge had activated dreams the boy had stored away. He told how scientists now are able to turn memories and dreams "on and off' during brain surgery. Each part of the brain has a particular function. He explained that through electrical stimulation, scientists are finding the various centers that make us act, think and dream as we do. Dr. Penfield gave several case histories showing that when the electrode caused a certain reaction In a patient, the same reaction recurred when the electric charge was applied to the same spot again and again. One was that of the boy and his and the poor woman tumbled all the way down to the basement. Considerably shaken up by the fall, she later sued her neighbor for damages.

Thank, to electrical energy, the average U.S. factory worker now has the equiva e assistants to lent of 13 help him earn his daily bread. It's a matter of horsepower as well as manpower, says E.C. Bro-didirector of manufacturing research for SKF Industries, inc. American factories have an in stalled horsepower of 18 million, and there are 14 million industrial workers in the country. Since one 1 s mathematically horsepower equivalent to 10 working men, that gives the average man at the ma chine the aid of 13 other "men. Some industrial workers have even more help, he says. At SKFs ball and roller bearing plants, for example, the average employee has 4.3 horsepower at his command the equivalent of 43 helpers. That compares with three horsepower or 30 men back in 1940.

Lord German manuscript has thrown new and sympathetic light on the American soldier of as he seemed to a Hessian mercenary officer of King George. "American troops should not be dismissed lightly as a motley crowd," the author, Capt. Johann von Ewald, commander of a company of Hessian riflemen, wrote. "I have seen a company of Rhode Island infantry and they march as straight and carry their arms as well as any soldier in Europe." United States air force historian Joseph Tustin of Harrisburg, Pa., who discovered the 1,500 page, three volume diary after it had gathered dust tor nearly two centuries among German family archives, declared it "an important historical find." "It is written in highly literate style," Tustin said, "and provides a professional and expert appraisal of Britain's attempts to subdue George Washington's ragged civilian army." "One of the most interesting features is von Ewalds sympathetic treatment of the American soldier. It is something of a paradox: Here we have a professional officer commanding a Hessian company serving with the famous Queen's Rangers, and cited by Cornwallis for outstanding service and devotion to the British cause, writing about the colonial troops with obvious sympathy and admiration. "Von Ewald stated, for instance, that such miserable conditions as Washingtons troops had to face would have led to mass desertions In any European army. Their uniforms are now mostly rags,' he wrote, 'and not all of the soldiers have shoes." As a professional officer, von Ewald discussed what motivating force kept the Ameri-caforce in the field in fighting 1776-178- Daises 12.
