The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-26

Herriot of Frame this afternoon Prime Minister R. B. Bennett oi Canada, also is participating.
 Both Mir Roosevelt and Mir Mac Donald emphasized that no defi- mite agreements had been reached. These, they said, must await the world conference in June. Their talks on monetary issues were of vital interest, however. because of the fluctuations of the dollar anu the pound sterling. and British plans to increase their funds for controlling the pound.
 President RooSeve,t fn contin- uing his conversations with Her. r.ot,, will have plans for a consul tative pact, disarmament and money problems as the chief sub- jects under examination between them.
 The Roosevelt Macdonald state- ment said:
 1-That 'the necessity for an in- crease in the general level of com modity prices was recognized as primary and fundamental"
 2-It recognized the need for "a constructive effort to moderate the network of restrictions of all sorts by which commerce is al present hampered."
 3-Expansion of credit should be provided through concerted act ion of central banks, it was stated and "every means should be used to get the credit thus created into circulation"
 1.-The discussions have inc1ud- ed the silver question and 1t was said that proposals were tenta- lively suggested for the improve ment of it's status"
 Other developments out of the international economic conferences here include the following:
 1-Reopening of the war debt problem between President Roose- welt and Prime Minister Mac Donald.

OWNING RODS

 TO REVEAL ILLS
Practitioners Make Extra vagant Claims for
 Queer Gadget

London. (UP)-When doctors disagree, try the divining rod.
 A new branch of medical science, which firmly believes in the pow CTS or divining rods, is springing up in Europe. It is called radio physics, and its practitioners claim the ability to diagnose hidden ail- ments with unerring exactness.
 Not only do they tell you tha! you are suffering from Indigestion instead of appendicitis. By con sulting the divining rod. they as- certain tmt ihashrdlucmfwypcmf certain that 1t was the caviar that did not agree. instead of the red cabbage, as you suspected.
 Every living creature is a wire less get, according to the new theory. Human beings, plants animals and many inanimate ob- jects radiate on certain wave lengths, which the divining rod is supposed to detect.
 A patients reaction to disease germs, to various foods and to other human beings can be de- termined, the radio physciians aver, by the behavior of their inn plements. Besides the divining rod, which twists uncannily when the wave-lengths do not harmon ize. the practitioner has what looks like a wooden egg. It has a metal center and is suspended pendulum-like, from a thread. Ii you are in health, the wooden egg will move in clockwise circles when held above your hand. Ii not, 1t will move counter-c1ock- wise, or merely to and fro.

A special detachment of 250, care fully selected, had been assigned to Pape strasse and those on. duty stood at rigid attention around the grounds, in the corridors, and in the offices of commanding officers. Those off duty rested in their dor mitory on the top floor. on the topfoor also. are the well-lighted and open rooms used for question ing and investigating prisoners.
 The quarters for prisoners were in the basement where three large cells were for men; the other for women. Among the prisoners were two storm troopers who had been caught abusing prisoners and were made to share their existence.
 Hans Fritsch, q former police captain and naZi commander, in charge of the barracks, escorted the correspondent through every part of the building. He described his work in crisp military lan- guage, but with an air of kindness He said his prisoners were held pending investigation of suspecions that they were engaged in com munistic activities.
 
 flied, the prisoners were turned over to the regular police. Those found without blemish were re- leased he said. He denied that third degree methods were applied
 "The sensational stories spread about Pape strasse are entirely un- true" he said.
 During the first days of Chancel- Tor Adolf Hitier's regime, several untoward incidents developed, he admitted.
 "Somc of my men, many Of | whose brothers had been killed by communists before we attained our power, were inclined to treat the arrested communists roughly" he said, but such incidents were un- avoidable in the first excitement. Ii is absolutely untrue that anyone has been tortured"
 He led the way through a room where prisoners were eating a sup per of coffee, bread and butter. and marmalade.
 Fritsch explained that the pris- oners occupied their time with gar dening, and peeling potatoes, with the younger ones put to polishing boots. He had had three bankers as prisoners, he said smiling, but | they were now in the hands of the
 regular police. They had been pooI | potato peclers at first, but witf practice. acquired as much speed 1 as the communists.

 he said, and were treated witf greater severity than the regular | prisoners.
