\ report that two desertsrs from

troops in Nicaragua has reached the
Navy Department through official
channels. but high officials are un-
certain whether to believe it.
Mai. Gen. Iejeune. the Marine
Corps commandant. said today that IN
the absence of positive proof one way
or the other he WAS not inclined to
believe that any member of the corps
had turned against his former COM

The report about the two supposed

been received from the battlefront.
1t was noted here that recent re-
ports from Nicaragua have en1pla-
sized that Sandino apparently was re

that the morale oE his troops had been
materially advanced. Marine losses
in recent skirmishes with the Mica

 Tonys feet were sore and his claws worn off. He was gaunt and hungry. He bore evidences of hay ing been poisoned twice and fed powdered glass once.

THOUGHTS AUDIBLE
 WITH NEW DEVICE
Actually Possible to Hear Your
 self Think

Iowa City, April eS UP) = Another proverbial achievement, hitherto illusory, has yielded to the attack of science---you can now hear yourself think!
 Tiny sounds of the brain at work, sending nerve currents coursing over their pathways in the human body, were transmitted through the air for the first time recently from WSLrT radio station Of inc Univer- sity of Iowa.
 Delicate apparatus, far more sen- sitive than any before perfected, picked up the inf1nitesmal sounds, magnificd them 900, GOO times, and projected them into the radio mic rophone where they were trans mitted as light, rumbling sound.
 The event eliminates three years Of research by State University of Iowa tcchnicians Perfection of the apparatus was the work of Dr. Lee Travis, nationally known psychiatrist and psychologist, and Theodore Hun- ter, tcchnician. They developed tho set in their laboratory at the Uni Ncrsity of Iowa hospitals.
 In the test. a three stage resis- tancc coupled amplifer, a portable ihree element oscillograph. a vac uum oscillator and signal current were used.
 Measures Intelligence
 Developed for use in the study of suffering, the apparatus has been found 10 have many uses. chief among which is the determination Of intelligence and the recording of emotions.
 By being able to gauge the speed of nerve impulses as they course through the human body, the ap- paratus has shown that there is a dlrect correlation between the in- telllgonce of the individual and the speed of the nerve impulse.
 A check of results Of intelligence tests given to university students and the speed Of their nerve impulse. as revealed in the reaction to the knee Jerk. shows that the nerve current of an unusually bright individual re- acts in 11/1000 of second.
 The person of average intclli- eence reacts in about 1S/10oo of a second and person of dull intel feet reacts in about 27/10OO of a second.
 The instruments may have a practical value as an aid in the de- lection of criminals. since emotions of fear, excitement and anger show in the speed and nature of the nerve impulses. Thus the more modern judge and jury may be equipped with headphones. listen- ing for changes in the suspected persons nerve currents to deter mine his guilt or innocence.

ROCKS AT TRINITY
 l LIKE HISTORY BOOK
Reveal to Biologists Diary Kept by Mother Earth

One of the best locations for the study of geology lies within d few miles of New Britain. along the cs- carpment west of Trinity college in Hartford. Here practically all the natural agencies which have con tributed to the topography of Con- necticut may be shown from their traces, for it is highly unusual to have so much geological history concentrated within such small area.
 Originally this land, in common with the whole present valley of the Connecticut river, was under water and at that time particles of dirt were eroded from the hills on the east and west, were carried into tl:is river or lake bed, and were de posted as sand and mud at the in the case of the Trinity rocks, 10 sandstone, although in some places. as in Berlin, clay resulted.
