Musical 'Detector'
Guides Physicians
To Brain Injuries
Principles Of Submarine
Locator Given New
Application in England
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star staff Correspondent.

LONDON (By MaiD A brain
probing machine based on similar
principles to those of a submarine
detector has Just been announced
here.
1t is the joint invention of a
mathematical physicist, DR.. r
Furth, and a physiologist, DR.. E. A
Bevers. both of the University OF
Edinburgh.
BY means of this device the sick
brain is made to sing-to tell an
examining physician in musical
notes where the trouble lies. At
least this would be true in some
forms of mental disorders and the
"encephalophone," as the new
diagnostic instrument is termed
might have considerable value in
determining the site of some war
injuries.
1t is intended entirely as a clinical
instrument. Drs. Furth and Bevers
say in their report to the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science through it's official journal,
Nature.
Individual Brain Waves.
The phenomenon of brain waves
has been well known for the last
decade. The cells OF the brain give
off minute electrical impulses In
rhythmic form which can be picked
llp bV electrodes nlaced against the
skull, amplified greatly, and recorded
In the form Of graphs either by
photography or by a moving pen
Certain patterns of rhythm, notably
the A waves and the. B waves, are
common to all normal people
although each individual has a
specific pattern of his own.
But in an abnormal brain condi-
ton, variant rhythm patterns ap-
pear. This is now an accepted
method of diagnosing certain forms

The reported drastic reorganiza-
ton of the Army Service Forces
finally became effective yesterday in
what was officially described as "a
minor transfer of activities" in

sion OF Military Training under

changes were:

the director of personnel, the WAC
director and her staff now reporting
directly to the ASF commanding
general, the WAC training division
going to the director of military
training and WAC housing, supply
and mobilization activities going to
the ASF mobilization division.
Army Exchange Service. which
operates the post exchanges, shifted
from supply to personnel. since its
work Is considered more of a morale
factor than military supply prob
lem.

sion.

BERN, Switzerland, Oct. 16.-The
Swiss newspaper Dovere said yester-
day that Marshal Ugo Cavallero,
former chief of Italian armed forces,
killed himself after informing the
Germans of the Italian capitulation,
thereby forcing the Allies to change
their invasion plans.
Cavallero's suicide had been re-
ported previously by Stefani, Ger
man-controlled Italian news agency.
Dovere, in an Italian border dis
patch which quoted "a reliable Rome
source" said the armistice signed
on September was not intended
to be made public until September
20 to give Gen. Sir Harold Alex
ander's British forces time to land
at La Spezia on the northwest
italian coast and cut off Nazi forces
IN Southern Italy.
Cayallero, although watched,
learned Of the armistice and found
means of advising the German en-
bassy, the dispatch said.

Rubber Experts Think
Synthetic Can Meet
Postwar Competition
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Informed officials predicted today
that so per cent Of the country S
mushrooming synthetic rubber in
dustry could survive competition
with natural rubber after the war.
The forecast was evoked by Presi-
dent Roosevett's expressed opposi-
ton to any postwar tariff on natural
rubber simply to protect the $750,-
100000 investment in plants-now
two thirds completed-which this
country has made to keep wartime
transportation rolling. Mr.. Roose-
velt said he believed tires made by

cheapest.
Bradley Dewey, rubber director,

centage of the new facilities which
would be useful. but he did say that
he expected a Substantial part" to

as Aunt Hippolya. The children
wildly applauded her antics. She
played directly to the children and
completely won their hearts.
The Characterization of Beauty
played by Miss Peggy Barton, New

OF the lovely and tender-hearted
heroine. Miss Barton has played
parts in 'The Barretts of Wimpole
Street and the Importance of

Other outstanding performances
were those of the merchant, por-
trayed by Vern Armstrong; Aurora
played by Miss Anne Crafty; Lutfla
played by Miss Virginia Barrie, and
Abou the keeper of the gate, played
by Roy Farquhar.
The costumes were very colorfuI
and the children were so captivated
with the story they did not notice

scenes, necessitated through the
difficulties OF transportation.
