CAN BE ATHLETE EVEN WITH SOME
 BRAIN DISEASE
Play Baseball, Be Good Boxer, Can Roller Skate, and Ride Bicycles; 1; Though Brain Is Loose

Boston, May 2S. (UP)-Persons afflicted with certain brain diseases can stand or walk only with the greatest difficulty, but can pitch and catch baseball, box expertly, roller skate, and ride bicycle. This was reported to to-day's session of the 57th annual meeting of the Ameri- can Neurological association by Dr Richard M. Brickner of New York. The observation was based on studies which he made in collabora- tion with pr L. Vohburgh Lyons, also of New York. The diseases to which he referred included paralysis agitans, an aftermath of sleeping sickness, and dystonia musculorum deformans.
 There are many types of normal motion, such as walking, eating, etc. which are performed automatically that is, without conscious atten- tion," Dr Brickner said. ''In the majority of these, the use of several different parts of the body, such as the arms, legs, and trunk in walk ing, are associated. Such movements are called automatic associated movements. The ability to perform the majority of automatic associated movements is inherited. However, there are some forms of automatic association movement which are not inherited, but are learned by the i'm diviudual, usually in his early life. Some of these are ball-throwing and catching, automobile driving. danc- ing golf playing, roller skating and boxing"
 Dr Brickner said he had found that persons afflicted with the brain diseases mentioned who had been adept in a particular athletic activ- ity lost none of this skill despite the fact that inherited movements were seriously impaired.

Urges Them to Guarantee Future Work to at Least Part of Their Employees to Create Confidence

Washington, May 2S-(UP)-Ex- hortations to spend freely can have little effect on wage earners un- less they feel secure about their in come, according to William Green president of the American Fedora tion of Labor. Urging employers to guarantee future work to at least part of their workers, Green to-day expressed the belief that this would stimulate buying and aid business recovery. His statement was in a sense a corollary of his previous recommendations for an annual wage.
 Green warned employers that, while perhaps a million men have found work since January, there is little prospect of immediate relief for the more than five million left jobless. He predicted further fur loughs" during the summer.
 In addition to a guarantee of work, he proposed three other ex- pedients: operation of all available work among employees, discontinu- ance of wage cutting, and commit nity relief planning with the aid of industrial funds and municipal and charitable organizations,
