Sterling Adams, 20, cOlOred, of as Pearl street, recevied a suspended sentence with orders tO surrender his knife, when he was aEraigned on charges of assault with a dam gerous weapon in city court this morning before Judge John l.. Gaffney.

Psycho- Analysis Latest
 British Secret Weapon European Correspondent Reveals Workings Of
 Board Which Forecasts Hitler Moves

New York, Dec. PA new secret defense factor which accurately in- forms the British high command in advance of contemplated Axis moves, and permits the armed forces to take counteractive measures, is revealed for the first time by William Hill man, European director of Golfers Weekly, in the current issue of the magazine.
 Hillman discloSes the existence of board of four psychologists who spend their time studying Nazi and Fascist official broadcasts, and psy- cho-analyzing Hitler and Mussolini on the basis of their radio state mentS.
 "The British government, Hill man writes, considers the word of- fenSive of the Nazis as important as the war on land, at sea, in the skies. In some ways it believes it more im-, portant. A true analysis of the verbal TINT in the propaganda shells gives @ good idea of what's being planned in actual combat.
 Operating on this theory, the British have introduced method of trapping the strategists behind the Nazi word offensive. They have put four brilliant psychologists on the job as propaganda analysistS. Their official function is to analyZe the en- emy's word shells as scientifically as British munitions experts examine fragments of bombs dropped on Lon-I don by enemy planes.
 Great Britain's propaganda lab in which psycho-ana determine the true chemistry of Hitler's verbal artillery fire has been kept a secret. It still is a secret to millions of Brit. ons. I stumbled onto the fact of its existence. The matter had to be taken up with high government off, clals before I was allowed to write anything about them.
 Only modern science, total war and the use of radio as weapon could have produced them. They believe that Hitler said a mouthful when he declared in Mein Kampf that in war words are acts. They consider this the key to the feuhrer's mental processes.
 The secret four were the first ii realize the Nazis were to launch their bdtzkrieg against the Low Countries in May. They foresaw something like the magnetic mine. They pre- dicted preparatory activity on the French coast for the invasion of Britain and certain activities in the Mediterranean. They had no doubt Italy was coming into the war. They warned of Hitler's intention regard ing the Frency navy. They guessed the Germans would stage 8 peace of- fensive in July"
 Hillman states that this remark able defense board gets its material from some 300 alert listeners and translators who take down the broadcastS of every radio station on the continent day and night. They are not concerned with the truth or falsity of what is said. Words be- tray what is in the minds of those who speak, and reveal intentions and plans.
 In his article Hillman cites nu- merous instances in which propa- ganda broadcasts by the enemy, de- signed for one purpose, actually achieved the opposite by revealing

mental hygienic needs and person. ality adjustments of students, diag- nosis and remedy of learning difh- culties, wiser choice of occupations, and problems centering about ex- ceptional and retarded students.
 Teacher conferences on individual cases, cumulative records, intelli- gence and achievement tests, clubs, occupational information through books and pamphlets, and scheduled periods for direct presentation of guidance information were the six devices and activities most common ly used in planned guidance pro- grams in schools reporting.
 Among procedures least often mentioned as in use were: follow up of graduates, teacher observation and recording of pupil behavior, survey of local educational oppor- tunities, field trips and excursions, active cooperation of community agencies, orientation classes for transition to new schools, home visitation, visual aids, diagnostic and psychological tests, occupational news letters, and field study of oc- equations.
 Planned guidance is considered a fundamental part of education and not substitute for much needed changes in organization and courses advocated by the State Board of Education to make the schools more effective. The report considers that many of the schools studied in the survey are seriously handicapped in their efforts to provide sound guid- ance because of lack of proper course and equipment for vocational training.
 '"The guidance process is a coop erative one" says Dr. Grace. "Ade- quate guidance cannot be accom- plished without the cooperation of the parents, so continuous contact should be maintained with the par ents through visits by the teachers to the homes and the parents to the schools" Dr. Grace advises that mo person is so wise as to be able to determine the destiny of others. Un- warranted speculation in human af- fairs must be avoided. The responsi- bility for the final choice must re- main with the individual and his parents"

10 COAST GUARDS
 NOT YET LANDED
Believed Lost When They Tried Rescue, They Are
 Picked Up

San Francisco, Dec. 27-UP)- The Coast Guard Cutter Shawnee today fought raging seas in an ef- fort to land 10 men rescued after 48 hours from two small boats, while storms pounded the Pacific coast for the 18th straight day.
 The men-coaSt guards who put out from the Point Arena station in surfboat and a lifeboat Christ mas Eve in search of a disabled lumber Schooner-12343 rescued last night, four miles from shore. Two were injured and all were suffering from exposure.
 The Shawnee, it's wireless dam aged two days ago in a gale, radioed only bare details of the rescue. She reported that it was impossible to land in the storm and darkness and that she was waiting offshore for daylight.
 The cutter was damaged and one coast guard aboard her had a broken leg. Mountainous seas had swept away four of her lifeboats, disabled her antenna and damaged her superstructure while she was en route to aid the distressed lum- Der schooner, the Stanwood.
 When the1 Shawnee reached the Stanwood, another coast guard boat already had it in tow, and she put about to San Francisco. En route she picked up news of the missing coast guards and joined the search
 Giant breakers pounded the Pa cific Ocean front, and streams were running bankful from days of in- cesSant rain.
 From Canada to Lower Califor- mia overlapping storms have ragged since Dec. 15. Flood damage thus far has been slight, although rivers and smaller streams are high, and weather forecasters saw no immedi- ate surcease from the rain.
