RESULTS OF
BRAIN TEST

Consciousness, a ording to
three University Of Illinois physi-
ologists, may be an electrical
state Of the brain. Describing
results of experiments, o. S.
Orth, H. w. Neild and w. P.
Elhardt, told members of the
Federation of American Societies
for Experimental Biology today
at the final session at the Will
lard that when the electrical
charge of the cerebral cortex is
higher than that of the rest Of
the nervous system, an animal
is conscious" and when it falls
below, Inconsistencies" results.
The eXperimenters placed an
electrode upon the cortex Of an
etherized dog and another upon
the exposed Sciatic nerve Of the
same animal. A delicate meter
to measure electrical currents
was connected with the electrodes.
The cortex Of the brain of the
electro-positive to the sciatic
unconscious dog was found to be

slight flow Of electrical current
from the brain.
Reversal Produced

lily. AS the dog came back to con.
Sciousness the cerebral cortex be-
came less electro-positive. Finally,
there was a reversal. When the
dog came completely out from
under the anaesthetic there was a
slight flow of current from the
Sciatic nerve. BY again putting
the dog under ether it. was not
difficult to produce this reversal
Of polarity over and over again
in the same dog.
The same result could be OBJ
tanned by inconsistencies pro.
duced by bleeding or suffocation,
the report said.
The Psychologists used this
same procedure to test-on the
dog again-the efficacy of vari-.
GUS anaesthetics, including nj
trate oxide, ethylene, ether and
chloroform.
According to the theory, the
deeper the Inconsistencies the
higher should be the electrical
potential Of the brain.
Milk Yield Increased
Everett I. Evans, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
reported that the milk yield Of
COWS and goats can be enormously
increased-in some cases from Is
to so per cent-by administering
an anterior pituitary gland extract
containing prolactin, a hormone
which activates milk production in
mammals.
The cost Of the injections, how.
ever is considerably greater than
the value of the extra milk OBJ
tanned. Consequently, he con.
cluded, the best hope of obtaining
better mixers lies in breeding &C.
cording to sound genetic prin.
ciples rather than in hormone
therapy.
More than $500 scientists from
medical schools, universities and
Government agricultural institu.
tions from all parts of the United
States have attended the confer.
ence which began Thursday.

I'm some States there are

scribes Landon as a "pro-

Roosevelt is represented,
on the other hand, as wav-

the left, but as having made
''some concessions" in the
peoples interests" under
the "severe pressure of the

William Green and the Ex-

denounced as "the extreme
right wing Of the organized

reflects the opinion of the

movements - his Committee
for Industrial Organization
and Labor's Non-Partisan
League - receive the Com
munist accolade as part of
the Peoples Front" move
ment toward 1910. The re-
port says:
"The position of the
labor masses, organized in
the American Federation
of Labor, with all its
strong and weak points, is
rather represented by the
leaders q the progressive
group-John Lewis, Sidney
Hillman and David Dublin
sky-than by the official
leadership Of the American
Federation of Labor.
"This group sounds the
alarm, warns against the
threats of Fascism and
war - threats persOnified
by the Republican Party
and STRIVES FOR THE
ELECTION OF PRESI-
DENT ROOSEVELT with
the assistance of a new or
ganization, the 'Non-Par-
tisan Labor League

THEIR OPINION, may
subsequently lead to the
creation of A FARMER
LABOR PARTY =.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-09-21

In anticipation of 1910 the
Communists were therefore
glad to shepherd Labor's
Non-Partisan League along
toward the goal of a "Peo-
pies Front" by ACCEPTING
ROOSEVELT as the candi-
date of their labor allies in
1886.
The Farmer-Labor Party,
of Minnesota, then conducted
by the late Governor Floyd
B. Olson, helped the Com
munists along.
Browder's report to Mos
COW explains exactly how
the Olson group was used by
the Communists.
The Minnesota Party, says
the report
g.. offered to summon
a national conference in
order to investigate the
possibility Of summoning
a constitutional assembly
for the purpose Of estab-
fishing the party on a
national scope, but did not
put up the question re-
garding its own candidate
for the Presidency.

limited Front

THEY EXPECT to accom-
plish their objective of a
"Peoples Front" in 1910 -
PROVIDED THEY CAN
HAVE FOUR YEARS MORE
OF THE SOCIALISTIC
NEW DEAL.
And that is precisely why
Earl Browder, the Communist
nominee and HIMSELF A
MEMBER OF THE COM
INTERN, stood up before the
members of the National
Press Club at Washington,
D. c., on August 26 and de-
claimed:
THE Communist Party
has NO RESERVATIONS
to make on its declaration
that it sees AS THE MAIN
TASK FOR 1886 the defeat
of Landon.
For obviously, as Browder
we'll knows, the defeat of
Landon, which is so neces-
sary to the Communists,
could be encompassed only
by the reelection of Roose-
welt.
In his report as published
in the Communist Interna-
tional," Browder informed
his overlords in Moscow:
1-That, IN OBEDIENCE
Ito THE ORDERS OF
THE COMINTERN, the Com
munist program for the for
nation of a Farmer-Labor
Party is being sedulously car
ried out;
O-That, in pursuance of
4 this program, the Com
munist Party has moderated
for the time being it's revolu-
tionary propaganda so as to
align itself more nearly with
other and less violent left
wing groups; and
O-That, accordingly, the
= Communist Party has
agreed to maintain in the
1886 campaign a "COMMON
FRONT WITH THE WORK
ERS SUPPORTING ROOSE-
WELT"
The report is entitled:
Farmer Labor Party.
The Peoples Front in
America"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-09-21

Through its Comintern
in Moscow and its pup
pet organizations in the
United States, Soviet Rus
STA is taking an aggres-
sive part in the presiden-
tial campaign in America
ON THE SIDE OF
THE NEW DEAL.
The challenging assertion
is based upon UNCONTRA-
DICTABLE DO JUN E N
TARY PROOF.
Part of the proof is avail
able in speeches and "litera-
ture" of the Communist
Party of America.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-09-21

Browder next informs his
Moscow masters as to how a
working alliance was effected
through the Chicago Farmer
Labor Party conference with
radical labor leaders.
At the Chicago Conference,
Browder's report shows the
real objective of John L.
Lewis two organizations
the Committee for Industrial
Organization and Labor's
Non-Partisan League, both Of
which are supporting Roose-
welt in 1936-was indicated
to be a nationwide Farmer
Labor Party in 1910, which
would be THE COMMUN-
IST PARTY'S PEOPLES
FRONT"
Discussing a decision Of
the Chicago conference to
constitute the Minnesota Or
ganization of the Farmer
Labor Party as a steering
committee" for the move
ment, the Communist report
says:
This was in conformity
with what was stated in
the declaration of the
Communist Party at the
conference:
It is thus clear that
the convention of the
Farmer-Labor Party must
apply to the new Mon
Partisan Labor League" in
order to achieve the fullest
cooperation between these
two most inspiring wings
of q political mass move
ment of the working class
in our times.
