Boy, Z, Used in Test
Of Eidetic Ability

A Catholic University professor
last night demonstrated to the men,
bers of the Cosmos Club an illustra-
ton of "eidetic ability"-the ability
of a child to project memory pic
lures into space.
DR.. j. Edward Rauth of the de-
partment of psychology and PSYCHE
airy at the university, used a
12-year-old youth to demonstrate
the experiment. The boy was
given picture to study while an
enlargement was flashed on screen
for the audience to see. After 10
seconds the picture was taken away
from the lad and with his back to
the screen he described the picture
in detail.
According to DR.. Rauth, the boys
mental image was plainly visible to
the lad as though on screen before
him. Dr. Rauth explained the
eidetic ability is present only in GER
tain children and that memory, per-
sonality or brilliance play no part
in the test. He cited a case of a
man who grew up with this ability
and was famous for rapid calcula-
tions and indicated the experiments
may lead to discovery of such a
group.

Bar Association Unii
Splits on Issue Of
Food for Civilians
House Of Delegates
To Get 2 Reports on
BeIligerent BIockodes

The American Bar Association
section of international and COM
parative law found itself in unrec-
onciled disagreement last night
over the question whether neutrals
should establish by treaty the right
to ship through blockades food
destined for civilians in belligerent
countries. Both the German and
the British contraband lists cata-
logue food, on the theory that it
all is bound for military use.
The result of the impasse was
that the 40 members in session at
the Mayf1ower Hotel voted to
present to the associations House
Of Delegates two conflicting reports
on the matter, without recommend
ing either. The authors of the
anti-food shipment report found
their voice in Col. Hugh c. Smith,
who observed:
This women and children busi-
ness is being played to the limit all
over the world today"
oppOScu ny nydN ; view.
Col. Smith headed the section S
committee on military and naval
law, which prepared the anti-food
report. James w. Ryan, chairman
Of the sections committee on law
protecting Americans and their
property in foreign countries and
on the high seas, held that no
country fighting today has an
nounced that its objective is the
bombardment of women and chill
dren. Hence, he felt, the women
and children should not be put in
danger of straving.
Mr.. Ryans committee proposed
that by treaty nations agree that
food supplies concededly destined
solely for the civilian, as distin-
gulshed from the military, popula-
ton in a belligerent country are
not contraband The Smith report
observed that this provision would
seem to contravene a fixed policy
OF our government" 1t dips into
a Civil War order of 1863 from the
Office of the Union adjutant gen.
eral to help uphold its position.
Arms "Not Sole Weapon"
WAR is not carried on by arms
alone" the order stated. 1T is
lawful to starve the hostile bellig-
erent, armed or unarmed, so that
it leads to the speedier subjection
of the enemy"
Mr.. Ryan suggested that work
like the Belgian relief of the World
War would be abetted by the adpo-
tlon OF treaty limiting the appli-
cation OF contraband to food.

:. Mr.. Henderson commented that
the 1888 Banking Act. which became
effective June 16. 1884, had forced a
number of the largest commercial
and private banks to divorce them
selves from their security afflliates.' .

the Guaranty Trust Co." and pri-
vate banks of the type of u. P.
Morgan & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb

business and remain bank of
deposit" while Kuhn, Loeb elected
to discontinue its commercial bank
ing activities and remain in the un-
derwriting business"

impact of the Banking Act of 1888
upon the private banking firm of
Brown Bros. Hartman g. Co."

company.

Mr.. Hartman, who is chairman
of the board of the Union Pacific
Railroad as we'll as an official of
several banking enterprises, de-
scribed to the committee the forma-
ton of Brown, Hartman & Co., an
investment banking firm, after the
Securities Act of 1888 compelled the
private banking house of Brown
Bros, Hartman & Co. to abandon
the security underwriting branch of
Its business.
Mr.. Hartman testified that the
new underwriting firm had Offices
in the same building as Brown Bros,
Hartman & Co.
Asked why the new firm chose the
name it did, Mr.. Hartman said that
a number of the officers had been
officers in Brown Bros, Hartman &
Co. and were therefore anxious to
indicate continuity and retain as
much as possible of the good will
they had enjoyed as officers of the
firm"

Parking Meter
Suspension
| Studied

Suspension of parking meter
operation in the Capital during the
Christmas shopping period was sug-
gested to Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer yesterday, but the
official said he believed motorists
and merchants would prefer the
meters do business as usual.
Mr.. Van Duzer said he would in
vestigate the legality of such q
moratorium if sufficient expressions
of approval reached him. The traffic
director pointed out, however, the
quick turnover Of automobiles made
possible by the devices is particu-
larly helpful when Yuletide throngs
crowd the downtown section.
The suggestion was promoted by
a Shelbyville Qnd) experiment in
which parking meters bear signs
reading, "The city's Christmas gift
to the buying public. Moratorium
December 9 to January l."
Collector of Taxes Chatham M.
Towers, who handles receipts from
the meters here, Endorsed the idea
as being In line with the spirit Of
Christmas giving.

Monetary Pact Links
Pound Franc for
Duration Of War
Allies Agree to Share
5 Drain on Reserves,
War Expenditures
By the Associated Press.

PARIS. Dec. 12.-Conclusion OF a
British-French monetary accord
linking the franc and the pound
until six months after signature OF
a peace treaty ending the war with
Germany was announced today by
Finance Minister Paul Reynaud.
He disclosed the pact was signed
December 4 when Sir John Simon
British Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, visited Paris.
He said it was designed to avoid
any modification of the present ex-
listing parity between the curren-
cies of Britain and France for the
duration of hostilities.
To Share Gold Reserves.
The monetary accord, Mr.. Rey-
maud asserted, contains means for
both countries to have "all facili-
ties for obtaining exchange of the
other country and for using it
freely"
The pound was quoted on the
Paris Bourse today at 176625 francs;
it has remained close to this figure
since the war started.
One of the most significant items
in the accord provided that drains
on the war reserves of both coun-
tries "in gold and in dollars" will
be shared equally.
The two finance ministers also
agreed that many common war ex-
penditures will be shared.
Joint Loans and Credits.
Both governments are pledged by
the treaty to launch no foreign loans
or obtain any credits except Jointly
or with the consent of the other.
Included among the expenses to
be shared by France and Britain
are financial assistance to third
countries and the cost of the Polish
Army Foreign Legion in France.
Based on proportional national
wealth, the French contribution to
this common war chest will be two
to Britain's three.
Both countries pledged themselves
not to place any new restrictions on
imports from each other for pro-
tective reasons or to raise revenue.
