EAR DEVICE TRAPS
FALSE DEAFNESS
Bell Engineers Use New Test
on Subjects Who Feign I'M
paired Hearing.
Of the Associated pto-s

Correspondence of the Associated Press
NEW YORK. Engineers of the Bell
Telephone laboratories have prepared
a trap for persons who feign deafness
Utilizing several principles of psy-
chology, they have developed new
method OF testing hearing which in
its operation Is quite independent OF
the accuracy or truthfIlness OF the
subjects responses. An improved
10 be switched TO either ear or to
both is the mechanical factor In the
method. A few tricks OF the psycholo-
gist do the rest
For instance" says w. L. Belts OF
the laboratories apparatus develop
ment department. "if a loud tone
sounds in the left ear. the left eye
blinks ever SO slightly. although the
patient may claim that ali is silent as
Sahara"
Skull Carries Sound.
Conduction of sound by the bones
OF the skull IS another means OF in
yestigating asserted deafness.
AT q more or less definite volume"
Belts explains. sound impressed on
one ear will be conducted To the other
so that were a person totally deaf In
one ear he could hear by bone con-
duction 10 the other when a tone Of
sufficient loudness was applied TO the
deaf ear.
Another effective test to avoid mis-
representation by the subject IS 10
have him read aloud from book III
h natural voice while tone Is
switched from ear to ear. Use Is then
made of two facts OF psychology~~that
the sound Of ones voice Is necessary
for the regulation OF his voice in
tcnsity and that ones own voice can
be drowned out by loud tone
"A person Of normal hearing III both
ears Will not change the volume OF
his voice as the tone is switched back
and forth because. NJ all times. he
has one ear with which he can hear
himself talk. He will raise his voice
and almost shout. however, when the
tone Is switched on both ears at the
same time. AS when his own voice Is
drowned out, Were the subject actual
~ deaf In one ear he would raise his
voice every time the tone was put on
Takes Longer TO Lie.
"A similar test may also be used
for person claiming deafness III both
ears. When the tone Is switched on
and Oft both ears the voice intensity
will vary with the tone II the reader
Is actually able 10 hear. II he Is not
switching the tone OH and Off will
have no effect on his reading.
Where deafness Is claimed In one
ear the tone may be switched at dif-
irrcnt intcusities rapidly back and
forth from one ear 10 the ether The
subject Is supposed TO signal every time
he hears II sound and because Of the
rapid changing from ear 10 ear with
the accompanying variation In volume
false claim soon becomes apparent
To signal truthfully every time II sound
IS heard is almost an instantaneous
act. but much more time Is required
II one has to stop to decide In which
ear the sound occurred. and then ,o
remember whether that Is the ear FOR
which he has claimed deafness"

CAIRO, Egypt. March tF0.-King
Fuad has asked Sarwat Pasha, who re-
signed as premier yesterday. to recon

that he had only remained in Office in
the hope Of achieving Anglo-Egyptian
agreement. but now that his colleagues
had rejected the proposed treaty he
must obey the admonitions of his doc

King Fuad has not yet accepted the
resignation. 1t was believed unlikely,
however, that Sarwat would withdraw

PARTIES BOTH CLAIM VICTORY IN THE STATE OF WASH

SEATTLE, Nov. 5, (P)-In the face of the claims of the Republi- can State committee that Hoover will carry Washington by 115,000 George Starr, Democratic chair man issued a statement that Al Smith will win by 10000.
 Starr contended that his eS- innate is based on a survey of the Democratic gains during the last few days and asserted Democratic candidates for Governor and Sena- tor will win also, putting Scott Bullitt's gubernatorial nomination margin at 22,000; c. c. Dills sena- torial margin at 28,000.
 DIR. HINTON JONES asserted that late advices from local advisers indicated the Re- publican position was strengthen ed declaring that Hartley and Macintosh are assured of plural ities between 60,000 and 10000.
 The candidates of both parties wind up their campaign with ral- lies in Seattle today.
 BOTH CHAIRMEN CLAIM King County. The Democratic chairman asserted Bullitt and Hartley are about even in Spo- kane County, while Jones asserted Hartley will carry Spokane by 10, 900; Pierce County also is devided, Starr said.
 Jones indicated he expected a big margin in that county although he intimated that Bullitt was strongest in Southwest Washing ton. Both parties issued instruc- tions to precinct workers to watch the polls and check the returns to prevent irregularities.

YANKEE DOODLE: RAMS MOUNTA|N
 AND EXPLODES
SNOW, SHEET AND RAIN BLAM- ED FOR TERRIBLE ACCI-
 DENT IN SOUTH

PRESCOTT, Arizona, Nov. 5, (P) The fragments of the airplane and bits of bodies scattered over one side of Cook Canyon, in the Bradshaw mountains, have been identified as the monoplane ''Yan- kee Doodle" and the bodies as Capt. c. BCollyer, pilot; and liar ry Tucker, passenger and owner of the plane.
 It is believed the plane struck the mountain with tremendous force and that the load of gaSo- line exploded with the impact.
 OPENED PARACHUTES indicated an effort had been made to escape. Landing flares had also been released.
 w. B. Tomlison was the only eye witness and he said he heard the plane come sputtering through the canyon Saturday and after scraping tree tops crashed; then followed the explosion. The rugged terrain kept searchers from the spot until today when the reIr- nantS were found.
 THE VICTIMS, TEN DAYS ago, set a nonstop record flight from New York to Los Angeles and were attempting to set a mark Eastward
 Collyer, last June, set a round- the-world record with John Mears. Tucker, although not a pilot, was well known in air circles and ac- companied Arthur Goebel on the first nonstop flight West from the East coast.
 Snow, sleet and rain is blamed for the crash.
