FIVE YEAR PLAN AIDS EDUCATION
 OF 29 MILLIONS
Cultural Part of Soviet Program Declared More
 Than a Success
By EUGENE LYONS 'nitcd Press Staff CorresDOndel


 Moscow. (UP)-Twenty-nine million Soviet citizens learned to read and write during the four and a quarter years of the first Five Year Plan, bringing the nations literacy to 90 per cent, where 1t was only 33 per cent before.
 This is cited as one of the out standing victories on the "cultural front" summarized recently by the Commissar of Education, Andrew Bubnov, in an address at the ses- sion of the Soviet Tzik, or par liament.
 Bubnov claimed that the cultur- al phase of the Five Year Plan has been over-fulfilled twice. He based the claim on the fact that expen- ditures for education and other cultural work scheduled at 7.628,- 900 rubles. had, in fact, amounted to 15,500,00 rubles.
 The excessive investment is not in itself a proof of achievement, since it is in part explained by currency imitation and high costs. It is a fact, however, that all the quantitative aspects Of couture exceed original plans.
 W nere IL was pldilHeu tO Hiano 17,000, ,0O0 people literate, some 29.000,O 900 were reached. he said. and IT 700, others. who were semi literate, improved their writing and reading.
 By the beginning of 1893 the Soviet Union, Nhe stated, had 485,- % students in its universities. 913.0O0 in the so-called workers faculties. and over 100000 in the factory schools.

TESTIMONY OF AN ATHEIST IS
 GIVEN CREDIT
Judge Allows It in Case in New Haven Lawyers Voted On Exception to Ruling

Hartford, Conn.,, Mar. 22-(UP) The admission in court of the testimony of an atheist may be tested by the supreme court.

Segal, Hartford artist, against the Wadsworth Atheneum. for in- juries suffered when she fell on a darkened stairway.
 "You're an atheist, aren't you?' asked William H. Tribou, attorney for the Antheneum.
 Guy said he did not believe in God, but added that an ''oath is an oath" He said he was pledged to tell the truth. Judge Ernest A. Inglis permitted the testimony to stand, and Tribou noted an ex- ception. The case was to reach the jury today. !

BINGHAM TOOK
 THE PLATFORM IN ASSEMBLY
Former U. s. s enatOr Advised Against Too Much H a s { e in the Adoption of Measures

Hartford, Conn, March 22 = (UR) - A warning against adop- ton in undue haste of measures which may result in a worse sit- uation than the one they are de- signed to cure, was sounded here today when Hiram Bingham. former U. S. senator, was intro- duced in the house.
 As Bingham entered the house he was accorded a great ovation, democrats joining republicans in the applause.
 Bingham blamed, the direct pri- mary for much of the trouble at Washington. He said men were sent there through this method who did not have the courage of only too glad to pass on to the president their responsibilities.
 Congress is showing it's ability -in the present situation. and is passing the burden on to the presi- dent" Bingham said. Fortunate ly for the United States we have man in the White House who Is Q benevolent and. thorough gentle man and who will not abuse the power given him.
 But" added the former seria- tor, i've should be careful that we do not lose that liberty for which we have fought so long through an effort to achieve too much effi- ciency in government"
 Bingham said that to a person on the outside looking in it appear ed that the United States might be going through a period sin1iliar to that when Greece changed her government.
 Another guest of the house.. William H. Hall, West Hartford educator, who was a member of the general assembly In 1879, spoke briefly, recalling the final session held in the Old State house which was abandoned in 1879 for the present Capitol.

perience. He telephoned to en- dorse a fellow congressman's can-. didate for a postmastership.
 'I know that congressman, he voted against the economy bill," Farley shot back.
 To others who bring prospective appointees to see Farley, he smiles, shifts his chewing gum, which for this non-smoking democrat takes the place of the politicians usual cigar, and says: "We must let poll iticse . wait until more important legislation is out of the way"
 That is his way of saying that he is going to wait and see how senators and congressman vote be- fore deciding upon appointments. Some on the Hill don't like 1t. They humble about high-handed tactics Big Jim" Farley just smiles and protests that there is nothing like that in mind at all. It just takes time, he explains, and the big things must be attended to first. But this doesn't discourage the callers.
 In the smoke-fogged room are at least six senators and nobody knOWS uOW lIdhy COhbh CocAhOhs Each has one or more job hunters duction. They shift from one foot to the other. They look around anxiously.
 Ut is twelve years," the faces 1 say silently, 'since we democrats have had break and we want what is coming to us." J. Austin Latimer, Farley's sec- retary, hustles from one group to another, cheering up the waiting senators and congressman and do-
 ing the best he can to make them feel important.
 | The door into Farley's office opens | and his giant form appears. Just | ahead of him is a senator moving
 out, gently propelled by friendly | pat on the back. Farley is a mas ter at keeping them moving. He
 takes one look at the other sena- tors.
 "Come right in, senator" he says and the one who is fastest gets
 inside. But that, for the moment,
 is about all he gets because the
 special session isn't far enough a.
 And while others wait two de-
 finite bits of information trickle out.
 1. Farley has decided to let the
 republican postmaster in New
 York, John J. Kiely. a faithful employe of nore than 80 years
 service, stay on another year or
 so until his retiring date arrives.
 "I believe that kind of a man
 should have a break" Farley says 2. William M. Mooney, republi- can postmaster of Washington, D.
 C., may be kept on a while also He is efficient, of long service and
 local democrats can't agree on a | successor.

 are qualified to vote for delegates to the convention. The bill was drawn up by Rep. Raymond Bald win of Stratford, majority leader of the house, Rep. Epaphroditus Peck of Bristol, and Rep. John D. Thoms of Waterbury.
 There will be fifty delegates elected. one from each Of the thirty-five senatorial districts, and fifteen-at-large. Thus Waterbury is assured of two delegates to the convention and may possibly be given one of the delegates-at-1arge.
 During a discussion of the bill this morning Rep. Estill of Sails bury raised the question of a tie vote. He pointed out that with fifty delegates a tie might easily result. Rep. Baldwin, however, pointed out that one delegate would sit as chairman. thus leaving forty nine on the floor with no chance of tie vote.
 Representative Estill tried to have the House vote to recommit the measure to committee, but was defeated overwhelmingly by coalition of republican and demo- cratic votes.
 Representative Hungerford of Watertown declared that he did not understand. the proposed con- vention system and pointed out that it would be better to elect one delegate from each of the 169 towns of the state. He was an swered by Representative Peck who declared that if such sys- tenn was followed delegates from the small towns would have more weight than those from cities like Hartford and New Haven with their heavy populations.
 Representative Peck also an- swered a question regarding the financing of special elections by stating that it was up to each city and town to figure out how 1t would pay for setting up the neces- sary election machinery and pay ing for election officials.

''Worry:Weig ching" Bed Is Designed
By Yale Professor for Psychology Test
Emotional Upsets
Registered by Loss
of Moisture.

n YEW HAVEN, Conn, August
N ga bed which can weigh
" a puff Of air is revealing OBJ
1 scure sources of unrest to OBJ
servers at the Yale University
Institute of Human Relations.
The bed records the minute-by-
minute loss in weight of persons asleep
or resting quietly while awake. This
is called the "insensible loss" cue
mostly to loss of water through the
breath and evaporation from the skin
Such loss is normal for all persons.
Rate of Loss Varies.
The weight of a 150-pound man drops
an average of about an ounce to an
ounce and a half an hour. But the
bed reveals that this rate of loss is not
steady. The fluctuations bring to light
hidden emotional disturbances
The weighing bed is set up in the
laboratory of physiological psychology
which is under the direction Of Dr.
Walter Miles. professor of psychology
at the Yale School of Medicine 1t is
a cot, suspended by chain like scale
pan. The bed will register weight
changes of one part in million.
Test of Restless Sleeper.
One of the sleepers was a man trou-
bled with outbreaks of restlessness He
would grasp his head with both hands
rolling from side to side muttering
At the beginning OF sleep his weight
loss was two grams. or about one
fourteenth of a pound. every four OF
five minutes. But during seizures this
loss mounted to two grams a minute
temporarily at the rate of a quarter
pound an hour.
The loss would show a sharp decline
right after a seizure. as if his body
had relieved itself of some strong
tension. When he slept in the day
time his drop in weight was even
slower than in any Nigh. period, as
If he was then free from some fear
that usually pestered him at night.
A possible explanation of the rest
less nights was found in one of his
business habits. For years he had the
responsibility of opening a business
Office early and on time But he used
no alarm clock Instead, he relied
wholly on his "unfailing ability" to
awaken on time. This inner tension
evidently caused many needless awak-
enlngs during the night
The weighing method in the psyche
logical laboratory furnished an OBJ
lective analysis of this obscure human
difficulty.
