resisted such efforts"
The polygraph being tested by the
F. B. I. laboratory technicians con-
sists of a blood-pressure cuff" like
the physicians sphygmomanometer
apparatus except that it Is connected
to a pressure -aCtuated ink stylus in
stead of a meter. A pneumograph for
recording respiratory changes is con-
nected to another stylus. AS the in
terrogation proceeds the varying
blood pressure and breathing are
traced in the form of wavy lines on
revolving drums.
In an interview some time ago with
the writer, Keeler pointed out that
much Of the success of the device has
been attributed to the psychological
effect of such a test on the suspect.
He has found that rs per cent or more
of guilty suspects have confessed after
being subject to tests with the in
strument.
Questions Often Cleared.
AS an indication of the value Of the
hCNAOC AL uCJCOIlOlls xACC4GL OOAA
of experiments made with criminals
known to have committed a crime,
but who had refused to divulge GER
tain details, such as the location Of
the murdered mans body, the head
quarters of the gang or the hiding
place of stolen goods.
In such cases q Zoned map Of the
city in which the location desired is
believed to lie Is placed in front of
the prisoner and he is asked, in turn,
If the body, headquarters or hiding
place is in zone l, 2, 3 and so on
until the whole area is covered. The
prisoner may answer in the negative,
or may remain silent-but the result
usually is the same. When a certain
zone is reached, the polygraph oscil-
lations indicate that the correct loca-
ton has been spotted. With an en-
larged map or chart of the small area
in question, the process then is re-
peated until the location has been
narrowed to definite block or house
or other site. Usually the evidence
sought may be found in this way,
Keeler asserted.
A favorite laboratory test with the
lie detector is to ask subject to
choose a card from a deck, shuttle the
cards and then have the subject an
swer in the negative to each card
shown to him by the experimenter.
When the correct card is exhibited,
the liar" almost invariably is exposed
by the fiuctuating pen.
Keeler claims it is possible to diff
ferentiate between fluctuations due to
fear, indignation or other innocent
emotions and fluctuations due to the
efforts to hide guilt. An innocent
man naturally will have greater blood

out, will vary but little In their effect

unable to prevent the stylus from

is aware of this fact the more obvious
his efforts at deception become.
A repetition Of such an ordeal on q

ness-which happens to own and con-
troll so many of our newspapers
been willing to cooperate with the
New Deal"
Filene, speaking over a Nation
wide radio network, asserted that
while American newspapers were the
''best in all the world, there is one
interesting piece of news they are not
telling.
In the Spring of 1888, when busi-
ness was prostrate and our banks were
closed, these newspapers as rule
were loud in their praises of President
Roosevelt.
Alleged Reversal Hit.
But now, when the papers them
selves are heralding the study of re-
turning prosperity, most of them are
denouncing the President and declar-
ing that the business revival which is
occurring under his administration
cannot occur under his administra-
ton.
These same newspapers are now
very largely big business properties, so
concerned with the perpetuation of
the traditional privileges of wealth
that they are now indulging in an alb
surd and unfair attack on the Roose-
welt administration, while in their
news columns they are heralding the
business revival which that admins
tration has brought about.
"Al that I am interested in is that
the American people shall understand
the nature of these attacks. If they
then agree to act and to vote in the
way in which these special interests
are urging them to act and vote, we
can't blame the special interests, for
we shall richly deserve what will then
be coming to us.
Then we may look forward to one
more spree of unrestricted Specula-
ton, and one more crash even more
disastrous than the last one, and more
terrible years of hopeless, deadening
unemployment"
Defends Spending Policy.
Filene asserted that after big busi-
ness and the Supreme Court rejected
the N. r. A., the President was forced
to pour out billions or permit millions
to starve. The President, he said, is
being criticized for failure to balance
the budget" but when balancing the
budget meant starvation to millions
of Americans, he preferred to let the
budget wait.
THE traditional banker minded
preferred to let the starving millions
wait. So apparently does William
Randolph Hearst, although he is a bit
more outspoken than ever the banker
owned editors"
There had to be a new deal" Fl
lene said in summing up. Some way
had to be found to get sufficient buy
ing power into the hands of the
masses. Hoover naturally couldn't see
this. He can't see it yet. and is still
insisting that the way to prosperity
is the way he tried, and which sank
us farther and farther into depres-

 White House Pressure
 White House pressure has been exerted to settle the question so that business confidence can be obtained and uncertainty removed at least through the presidential year of 1936.
 Preliminary plans for extension were up for discussion at a meet Ing of democratic members of the house ways and means committee to-day. Formal drafting of the bill is expected to start Monday.
 What Bill Embodies
 The bill. it was learned, will erii- body in the main the following proposals:
 l. Extension of MIRA until at least April. 1897.
 ?. Confining of the MIRA to bus mess involved in interstate conn merce but with definite clarifcation of businesses affected.
 3. Some form of price fixing in industries which the president believes necessary to prevent mon- opoly or unfair competition. 4. Provisions for a six.months period for revision of MIRA codes instead of the 30-day limit provid- ed by the senate bill.
 5. Provision for virtual full control by the federal trade conn., mission over code violations. with industry given broad new powers to appeal to courts for final deci- sion.

 Not Complete Surprise
 While the latest court action, begun yesterday, is not a complete surprise, 1t has raised some specii- iation as to the reason for its be- ing instituted. It is reported that when MT Dunais was suggested to Republican Town Chairman as the possible appointee to succeed Mir Dillane, there was no objection to him expressed.
 A week ago, MT Pape is reported to have said that Mayor Hayes had no right to make any appoint ments to the office without seeing the publisher first.
 Attorney Nathaniel R. Bronson presented the application to Judge O'Sullivan at 3:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon, an hour after the public had ben informed by Mir Pape's newspaper that the court action had been started. Judge Frederick M. Peasley who comes to Waterbury on June 4th. will hear the application of MT Pape's on June 11th at 10 o'clock in the morning.

computed; a small sum has been deducted to allow for the sinking fund referred to in the foregoing; and the remainder will be used for the wages of the workers. The piece-work rate will be set by the employees, after experiments have determined a fair. price. If 1t IS the desire of the employees to work more slowly even after setting the rate themselves, they will be per- mitted to lengthen their working day to eight hours, although a six-hour day was originally plan ned.
 Hourly wage rates will never be permitted to drop below the level paid for work in similar. factoriese anywhere.
 Manufacturers Approve
 Waterbury manufacturers, MT. Harris states, far from being an- tagonistic to the plan, have actual ly made it possible. Most of the To- cal factotry owners have promised to purchase their hrooms. exclu-' sively from the little plant, to in- sure a steady and dependable mar ket for the product.
 While the entire plan is a direct out-growth of the Mutual Aid sys- tenn, it will hereafter have no con- nectiton with the M. A., but will operate, with the unique excep- tions noted, in the same manner as every other bonea fide factorty in Waterbury.
 It will probably be hailed in some quarterts as a socialistic ven- ture, or at least radical departure from rugged individualism." MT. Harris explains, however, that sim liar successful experiments are now in successful operation in England.
 Initiative Evident
 Whatever may be its nature as a social venture, however, there can be no doubt that it will serve as an excellent example of sturdy Yankee independence and ingeu- ity, ad that it's continuation in the field of competitive manufacture will establish mark for oher com munitiese to shoot at, not only ill Connecticut, but throughout the nation.

However, authentic reports are to the effect that the post will go to Attorney Joseph Talbot. It is not likely that Deputy Judge Hugh Hearns, democrat, will pc disturbed.
 Judgeship Reported
 Judgeships for IS of the smaller courts of the state. in Hartford, New London and. Fairfield coun- ties, were reported to the senate this morning by the judiciary committee. The next group of judgeships. including those for New Haven county. will be report ed on Monday or Tuesday. In each case where any change was made in the three counties named above, republicans took the place of democrats.
 This action on the part of the Judiciary committee in busting democrats for republicans is taken to make the chances of Judg> Mascolo in this city simmer, as it has been reported at various times that the sop. were planning a clean sweep of all court jobs held by democrats. However. 1t is reliably reported that three democratic senators who are judges, Senator William Hagearty of New Britain, Senator Raymond Devlin of New Haven and Senator Anthony Wayne O'Connell of Nor wich will be retained. It Is hoped by Judge Mascolo's packers that he will benefit under this "dear' also.
 Deal Report Recalled
 Hartford, Conn, May 25 -(UP) Legislators scanned the first list of judgeship nominations to be approved by committee today and recalled reports of week ago that a "deal' had been made whereby republicans would replace demo- crats in many of the imnor court posts and take the lions share of appointments.
 A judiciary committee resolution, sent to the senate, made appoint ments to 19 town courts in Hart ford, New London and Fairfield county, replacing six democrats counties, replacing six democrats with republicans.
 In Hartford county approval of the list would give republicans a gain of one at Bloomfield and two at Unionville; in New London county a gain of two at Stonington and in Fairfield county a gain of one at Greenwich.
 Retention of incumbents was proposed at Enfield, Pennington, Glastonbury, Manchester, Newing- ton, Suffield, West Hartford and Windsor, in Hartford county; Groton, New London, in New Lon- don county; and Darien, New Canaan, Newtown, Stratford and Westport in Fairfield county.
 Approval of both house and sem ate is necessary.

 According to authentic informa- tion, the report which Senator Tracy has in his desk on the Gull hane interest bill is an unfavorable one. The report on, bank receiver ships, from the same. committee. was also an unfavorable one but Senator Culhane beat 1t. He will make an effort to beat the unfa- vorable report on the interest bill, also.
 Interest Bill Provisions
 The interest bill provides that banks shall not charge interest higher than four and one-half per cent. on mortgages. He Is prepared to offer an amendment to this bill, however, providing he gets it on the floor of the senate, raising the rate to five per cent. The current rate Is per cent. on mortgages in most eases but the passage of the Culhane amended biii would forbid q rate beyond i've per cent. A penalty is included in the meas ure with the fine running as high as si.0O0 for each offense.
