ieDeie(for MaYBeUsed,
 Rudolf Hess
American Expert Roy Post May Offer Services to
 British Government
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW 1oIth, OuilC Ao oo-AiS time ago a German seaman with swastika burned on his arm jumped ship at Panama and made his way to the Metropolitan area. He was picked up finally as Islip, Long Island, and questioned by the police. Dissatisfied with the story he told of being a Nazi agent, the police called in Roy Post, lie de- tector expert, and asked him to give the prisoner test.
 Reporters and representatives of the Army, Navy, and secret service witnessed the test. It took Post only a few moments to con- vince the man there was no use holding back. He gave in.
 I mention this because I have known Post for years and because I have seen the lie detector work To Posts credit is a long list of convictions that have saved inslir- ance companies, commercial houses, and private individuals thousands of dollars. Some time ago Post was on the air with Elliott Roosevelt giving a detailed explanation of his detector, and more recently one of the major film companies produced a technicolor short showing the apparatus, which looks like a port able photograph, in operation.
 Now Post has the idea of offer ing his services to the British gov ernment. It is his suggestion that with his machine the British goy- ernment can ascertain the veracity of any statements made by their distinguished and surprising guest, Rudolf Hess, by merely confront ing him with this machine. If the British would rather have one of their own men operate the ma chine, that will be all right with MT. Post
 T can train any man they des- i ignate in two or three days to op- crate it. he told me. As a matter of record, the machine is very simple. You plug it in as you would an ordinary radio. You strap a contact pad to mans hands. Then he begins to talk. If he utterS an untruth, sensitive needle showing on dial begins to jump violently up and down.
 Not long ago Post Was called on a case involving the disappearance of $10,000 worth of merchandise. ! The suspects were in custody. | They denied any connection with the case. But With the lie detector i confronting them they confessed all. The case was settled on the spot. It was duly written into the records and published.
 Posts idea is that the British intelligence service could make ex- cellent use of the detector in ques- tioning any of the captive airmen that are shot down and land by parachute i'll England. He doesn't imply that Herr Hess himself con- templates the Justification of facts. But it certainly is deterrent when man is convinced that he can't get away with anything without betraying himself.
 A simple maneu 1T is t''c pre- liminary move in ;ny ..,t. The suspect is asked, sec. y, to write down number between one and ten. He places the number in his pocket. Then Post questions him about each number. If he has written 8" and attempts to deny 1 it. the needle dances all over the dial. It is conclusive and self-evi- dent. and the prisoner always sees the light.
