Boy Who Recorers Hearing
Is Annoyed by Human Voice

Today Carl took his daily lesson in
how to make the sounds he once un-
derstood only by movements of the
lips. Deaf since suffering brain men,
ingitis when seven months old, he
built up by lip-reading a vocabulary
as large as most children command at
his age.
Firecrackers, sparkling and flashing,
delighted him before he could hear.
Now their noise pains him. When the
sounds about him become unbearable,
his mother puts cotton plugs in his
ears.
His parents said what he enjoys
most is to climb aboard his raft on
the river, have his father anchor it
beneath the bridge, and listen to the
waters echo.
II have a feeling that Carl was re-
gaining his hearing fully two weeks
before his tonsils and adenoids were
removed" Mrs. Thelin said. II think
the operation was the stimulus for his
first reaction to his new-found sense. /"

NATIONAL INCOME
NEAR 60 BILLIONS,
HIGHEST SINCE 1929
Commerce Officials Fore
. cast First Balance in
Six Years.
81 BILLION WAS PEAK: 7
LOW MARK HIT IN '32
Statement Containing Estimates
Prepared in Answer to Sem
ate Resolution.
Ry the Associated Press.

Commerce Department officials TO-
day forecast a 1886 national income
close to 100000, 900, 900, balancing
business outlay for the first time since
1929.
The departments estimates, con-
tingent on maintenance of present
trends, we're based on readings Of vari-
Gus business barometers for the first
seven months Of the year as compared
with similar figures for 1895.
After dropping steadily from the
$8l ,034, 100000 peak produced in 1929,
the national income hit a low Of
s39,545,00,000 in 1882 Since then
it has pointed upward Last years
income was reported at 1859 ,OO0,-
600.
Officials said they expected that in
COME produced and income paid out
would approximately balance. Since
1929 income paid out has exceeded
income produced. This excess was
only s628,o00 900 last year, compared
with the s8,817, ,OOO, 900 figure for 1892.
When income paid out exceeds In
come produced it means, in effect,
that industry and business are operat-
ing "in the red' to the extent Of the
excess. Similarly, when income pro-
duced tops that paid out the excess Is
regarded as savings.
The biggest slice of income paid
out goes for compensation of en-
ployes, usually amounting to between
81 and 68 per cent. Next in line are
dividends, interest, and income with
drawals by the owners of businesses.
With the predicted rise in national
income this year, an upturn in per
capita income of employees also was
expected by Commerce Department
officials From the 1929 high Of
$l,466 the per capita reached a low
of 81, ,097 in 1888 and for 1885 was
s1,201, or S19 per cent of the 1929
level
Among the most important sources
Of income are manufacturing, trade
and service activities.
The Commerce Department has
been compiling estimates of national
income since 1929 in response to
Senate resolution calling for a study
of the subject.
As computed by the department, ma
tional income produced is the net value
of goods and services produced in any
one year. 1t represents the value of
all commodities produced and services
rendered, less the value Of raw ma
terials and capital equipment which
has been consumed in the process of
production.
Thus. the estimate Of income pro-
duced is arrived at by estimating total
value of all production and subtract
ing from this the estimated value of
goods used in the process Of produc-
ton.

MILWAUKEE,, August 17.-Recov-
cry of his hearing after a lapse of
more than five years was a mitigated
blessing to 6-year-old Carl Thelin, tr.,
his mother disclosed today.
Annoyed by the human voice, her
son declared the sound he found most
pleasant was the soft noise of water
tapping against a raft beneath a
bridge over the Milwaukee River.
He used to play the piano when he
could hear" the music only through
the vibrations in his finger tips. He
stopped playing when he began hear
ing. And "the radio" he said bluntly,
"is an old jabber box"
Certain voices, especially high
pitched ones of children, annoy the
round-eyed curly-haired lad who
after a tonsil-adenoids operation last
July "a heard his mother speak and
then asked:
Mother, that sound you made with
your lips-is that what you told me

HENDAYE, France, August IL
Rebel warshipS bombarded 1run and
San Sebastian today and Spanish
loyalists we're reported executing
Fascist hostages in retaliation.
Ioyalists had served an ultimatum
that the first shell from q rebel war
ship would be the signal for massacre
of the prisoners held aboard two steam
ers in the Bay of Biscay Harbor, and
frontier reports said the execution
had begun.
The attacks against Irun and San
Sebastian began simultaneously, indi-
eating a major offensive along the
northern seaboard.
The huge battleship Espana di-
rected heavy fire against Fort Quad
alupe, but the government stronghold
had not been hit.
Guadalupe's guns did not reply at
once to the ships fire, being faced
with the dilemma of submitting to
rebel fire or shelling the rebel war
ships at the risk Of dropping proJec-
tiles on French territory across the
Bay of BiScay.
The Fascist warships were believed
to be purposely avoiding direct hits on
the fort because they feared explosion
of large munition stores would kill
many of the rebels held prisoners
there.
About 1900 hostages were held at
Irun and TOO at San Sebastian. Re
ports along the border said firing
squads began executions soon after
the bombardment started.
Smelling Subsidies.
The shelling of Guadalupe subsidized
early in the afternoon, after 2l2-
hour assault and two persons were
wounded when bomb fell on a farm
at Fuentearrabia were the only known
casualties.
Government leaders, encouraged by
what they said was the failure of the
rebels to attack by land, indicated
they were ready for an early counter
offensive.
This week, they stated, would be
"decisive.''
Refugees arriving in increasing num-
bers from Irun and San Sebastian
said that three rebel ships, the Espana,
the Velasco and the Almirante Cervera,
were ranging back and forth between
San Sebastian and Cap Des Figuiers,
the limit of French territorial waters.
Plane Attack Reported.
Some Of the fleeing Spaniards, who
numbered 300, said two government
planes from the airdrome at San
Sebastian had succeeded in lombard
ing the rebel warships, but this could
not be confirmed.
Dispatches from Bilbao said the
rebel destroyer Velasco shelled Fort
Santurci, starting fires there but caus-
ing no casualties. The bombardment
apparently was intended chiefly to
demoralize the government defenders.
Irun, fearing a surprise attack,
spent a night Of nervous watching.
All lights were turned off, and volun-
teer militia kept guard.
There was tense watchfulness on
