DUCHESNE, UTAH LEWIS1AN: WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Anti-Truma- Parapsychology Could Do Just Fine on Election Bets By Bill Schoentgen, By BAUKIIAGE Newt Analyst and Commentator. with the Russians over the Berlin situation, I was sitting in the club with couple of members of the Democratic administration. Talk had grown pretty tall in Paris and that morning, every other person I met, it seemed, asked me: are we going to have war? a But Washington was as calm as' sleeping tabbycat. The club dining room window was open, and a lazy autumn sun down through the trees sweeped of the park. loafed Squirrels around, showing little or no Interest in preparing for the winter, and when I repeated the question I had heard so often that morning to my two Democratic friends, it aroused very little kilerest. Said they: The Russians want Dewey. So we wont have war sow. The Soviets know If they started a war at this time, it would :inch Trumans election. Naturally my friends didnt Indicate that they had any doubts as to the outcome of the election, but when we started talking odds, I noticed the conversation was confined largely to the race for the senate. After all, said my friends, even some Republicans concede that Dewey might face a Democratic upper house. It wouldnt take much of a push either way. The Democrats have 45 teats now, and the Republicans jnly 51. The Democrats are confident that only one or two of their candidates are in danger. On the other hand, there are a lumber of stiff state fights in progress In which the Republicans are leing pushed pretty hard. The Democrats feel that if they can get Hit a large vote in these uncertain itates, they have a chance of win-lin- g the four seats that would give them the edge. In other words the count then srould be: Democrats 49; Repube margin licans, 47. That wouldnt assure Democratic domi-sanc- e on all senate policy matters, s if course, because too many are given to leaping out of ihe party corral these days. On the ither hand, many issues are bound to be settled along purely partisan ines. But far more important, the party of the majority gains control if the senate committees. battles in The which the Democrats seem to have the edge are In Oklahoma, TVest Virginia, Wyoming, and Kentucky. About in that order. Also Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, and Idaho. The Democrats admit their weakest points are in Montana and Colorado. The Republicans by no two-vot- sen-itor- means coftcede New Mexico, Rhode and Tennessee, but the Island, Democrats don't seem too worried ibout those states.

Rhine, director of the parapsychological laboratory at Duke university, has been conducting experiments along these eerie bncs for nearly two decades. He is a very modest man, and he leans over backward to avoid offering any conclusions or making any flat statements concerning these experiments. I have read his bookt heard him speak to an Intimate group, take part in a forum and later answer questions at a private gathering under the auspices of the Washington Society for Parapsychology.

WASHINGTON. It wont be long now before youll be able to settle those election bets. A few days after the release of the official record of the negotiation a Security Council Gets Berlin Issue, Inconclusive Meeting Stalls Action; Russia Proposes Big Four Parley For better or for worse the U. N. security council had become wedded to the problem of what to do about Berlin, but there was no honeymoon. Russia had boycotted the security council debate, and although Andrei Vishinsky, Soviet delegate, attended the first meeting in body he remained monstrously aloof from the proceedings In spirit. THAT FIRST session was not only inconclusive but downright dull. No one would have thought that the 11 men mulling over this world crisis in the Chaillot palace in Paris were engaged in deliberations of so momentous a nature that they might turn the balance for peace or war in the world. While Vishinsky sat dourly and silently playing the part of the vicarious witness to the hilt the American and French delegates read polite tirades against the manners and morals of Soviet motives and politics. .WHEN THE TWO western speakers were done, Juan A. Bramuglia of Argentina, acting president of the council, was forced simply to drop the whole business, temporarily at least, with a hollow thud. After the French delegate had completed his review, Bramuglia waited expectantly for a time, then observed mildly that since he didnt seem to have any more speakers on the list the meeting would be recessed. It appeared probable that the delegates would take considerable time for studying the charges of the U. S., Great Britain and France against Russia before meeting again. There was a possibility, too, that the security council might delay further formal meditation on the off chance that Russia might lift the Berlin blockade and the Big Four foreign ministers might take up the entire German question. tilings or events taking place beyond the vision or knowledge); or for that ability which may involve both of the former, precognition the ability to predict things which will occur In the future. And also psychokinesis, the hardest one of all for the cynical to swallow. That is the power of mind over matter, e.g. ability to make dice fall the way yon want them to by thinking at them. Roughly, this Is an example of what has been done by Dr. Rhine and others. After long experiment and mathematical calculation, it is determined that by chance alone anybody can pick correctly live cards out of a pack of 25. That is Just guessing, and it is even money the subject can do it If he Is right oftener (and may have been right consistently more often than live in 25) that is MORE than chance. If he is right often enough, it is said that he has extrasensory perception. In other words, he Is able to perceive what the card is without the use of his senses, but rather by some undefined, unmeasured, unclassified ability which science as yet cannot explain. Clairvoyance is a common experience. An example might be of the mother who has a vivid and alarming Impression of a train wreck. It may be a nightmare, a waking hallucination, or just an intuition. The wreck seems to be connected with her son, perhaps with some definite place like a tunnel. It turns out later that her son was actually injured in a wreck at the spot where her dream assigned it. Careful checking of such experiences is now going on, and Dr. Rhine feels that the reBIG FOUR : sults in these cases too, arpear More Talks? to show that some unknown Is Involved, Russia, whether the Kremlin adprocess unexplained in terms of our ordinary senses. mitted It or not, was dissatisfied Berlin situaAs to psychokinesis, experiments with the way its pet The Sovihave seemed to prove that dice tion was being handled. out of hands of the ets wanted it rolled in a mechanical cage could hands of the be made to fall, oftener than they the U.

The answer is that it probably wont, and the reason is that although the price of wheat is down the cost of the other basic bread ingredients are not. BAKING INDUSTRY leaders, In a considerable ferment over recent charges that bread prices are deliberately being kept aloft, have said and with some Justification that the present costs of bakery a remarkable goods reflects achievement in resisting inflationary pressures. They base this contention on bureau of labor statistics figures which show, among other things, that the baker today is paying $2.53 for the four major ingredients of bread that cost him $1.00 in 1939. THAT FIGURES out to an increase of 153 per cent in the cost of raw materials; yet the American housewife is paying on the average only about 63 per cent more for her bread than during the 1935-3- 9 base period used by the bureau of labor g statistics in computing its Index. Last November, BLS figures show, flour reached a record of 164 per cent over the base period, and in December wheat of the type used for bread flour hit a record high of 214 per cent over the base. And although flour and wheat prices have slid somewhat recently, the flour used in bread now on the grocers shelves was purchased by the baker several weeks ago when prices were up. OF THE FOUR major bread Ingredients flour, sugar, shortening and milk only sugar now has a lower BLS Index than bread. And still another factor which has the bread-makerbeside themselves singing in the wilderness is the mounting costs of other elements involved In producing the staff of life such as labor, machinery, distribution and packaging.
