the appartion produced no effect on either though
of course the real man would This, it is true, is
only an inference and does not rest direct evil
dence. He Is not aware that anyone has ever
tried the experiment. But it seems an inescapable
inference from the consensus of evidence that
apparltlons are not physical. There may, for all
he knows, be physical kinds of appartion as we'll
which can be photographed; but if there are, they
must DC quite separate phenomena from those we
dealing with.
Il think you will see he told me, that this
apParition. the supposed spirit is one of the most
extraordinary phenomena could we'll come
across. To common sense its characteristics fatly
contradict one another. 1t is non physical. Where
we see an apparently solid figure apparitions
often real and solid-looking that they are
frequently mistaken for human beings at first
sightJ-there is nothing but empty space.
Yet in spite of that, we can see, hear and
even feel apparltons we'll if they were ma
terial persons. Our senses give us full evidence
that something is there while really nothing is
there at all This is extraordinary thing when
to think of it, because it is precisely the
physical OBJECT (which is not there)-that nor
mally sets our organs of perception to work
ut is because light waves are reflected from a
physical object and reach our eyes that we see the
object 1t is because sound waves travel through
the air from the physical object 20 that
we hear it. 1t is because solid and impenetrable
physical object presses against our skin that we
feel it,
What the apparition proves then is that in
some mysterious way see without the use of
eyes. hear without the use of our ears, and
feel without the of our skin. The appariton
sets sight, hearing and touch to work without
making use of the physical receptor-organs at all.
How does it do it? The answer involves us
far too deeply in the philosophy of sense-percep-
ton, which we cannot discuss here. But firmly
believe that it can be explained
Actually, according TO Tyrre a ghost is
"a drama constructed by the Joint builders out of
pooled knowledge. 1t is more than an idea tele-

into sense-imagcry.

There is not only the producer; there is the
stage carpenter we'll. Ordinarily he is on his
job of attending to normally perception. But he can
be lured away from it occasionally to express a
dramatized version Of somebody's idea--somebody
whose mind is very active far away under the
stress of crisis and then we get apparition.

pursued, will throw much light on processes going

MONTEVIDEO. - Rebellion against
Vichy and Berlin will flare throughout
France as soon as the United Nations

coasts, according to Luis Dupuy, last
Uruguayan charge d'affaires in Vichy,
who has just returned to Montevideo
His personal report to the foreign
office on the French situation helped
the Uruguayan government decide on
the recent suspension of diplomatic re-
lations with the Petain regime.
The French people lack weapons,
but they will make that up with their
courage and their hatred of the Nazis
as soon as they get chance to support
and fight shoulder to shoulder with
the Allies said Dupuy. Guerrilla and
sabotage elements are not idle now,
but many other Frenchmen are await

Anti-Nazi sentiment has been steadily
growing since the fall of France and
it has now reached its peak, according
to Dupuy. "The Frenchmen," he added,

service as an operating surgeon during
the Vera Cruz expedition in 1918, and
held key surgical posts in the Canal

Lockheed expects the cost of this fam

Lockheed comedies that many people
may regard these predictions as prepos-

more solidly based than were the prog
nastications Of quarter of century
ago that airplanes would span oceans.
Aviation will also play big role,
Lockheed believes, in opening vast ter
ritories now virtually inaccessible and
largely unpopulated. The natural wealth
and resources OF these places will bring
whole new communities to them by air,
he says, with cargo planes serving as
great moving vans. .

When Maj. Gen. Norman Thomas Kirk,
the new surgeon general of the United
States Army, was stationed at Fort Sam
Houston, Tex, during the 2Os, friends
added a letter to his first two initials
and dubbed him ct N T. Tommy"
The monicker resulted partly from his
prowess on the polo field-he could WELD
the mallet as we'll from the back of an
Army mule as he could from a horse
and partly from the fact that he'd almost
explode with zeal when he had a chance
to 60 shooting quail or fishing for tuna.
But most of all, the name resulted
from the fact that the surgeon could
pack dynamite into his words once he
got warmed up to an argument, whether
it concerned the playing of a, hand of
Army-style poverty poker or the merits
of some new development in surgical
technique. .. =

He fairly sizzled like a sputtering fuse
the other day when he talked about the

soldiers who will constitute the American
Army in the various combat theaters and
in Army camps at home by the end of

the 56-year-old surgeon is short in

Sun, Md and I like to speak my mind.
1 think the public should know lot of
things about the job the medical depart
ment still is faced with, even though our
health record to date has been better
than in any war in history.
We're still having difficulty in pro-
curing the number of medical officers
and nurses we need to take care of those
boys out there fighting and I lose
patience when I hear complaints that
there are too many doctors in the Army,

wearing boots any longer, but ersatz

Moreover, an increasing number Of
recruits from occupied countries were
serving in France. A friend of mine
had a shock once when Wehrmacht
sentry in Vichy called out 'Vive Ia
France!' as he was passing along. The
soldier, Belgian, did not hide the fact
that his sympathies were with the
French"
Anti-German Sentiment Crows
Dupuy said that the German invasion
of Vichy France last November served
only to bring into the open the fact that
the Nazis were the masters of the coun-
try. Before November" he declared.
I'VE all knew that whenever a diplomat
wanted to go to Switzerland or Spain,
for instance, the French authorities re-
ferred the matter to the Gestapo. We
were required to explain how, when and
why we were going; and nothing could
be done when the Germans refused the
permission. The rule even applied to the
Italian and other Axis diplomats.
THE invasion in November, however,
served to increase the anti German senti-
ment, as the French saw their armed
forces disappear and their beloved coun.
try overriden by the Nazis. This feeling
was fostered by the food situation, by
the sight of thousands of trucks carrying
away the produce of the country and,
finally, by the rounding up of workers.
Il have seen handcuffed men taken
to the railroad stations, where many of
them raised their chained hands for the
public to see, while they shouted Vol
unteers! Laval had promised that only
unemployed workers would be sent to the
Reich, but when their number decreased
Vichy found method to create a fresh
supply. Laval simply ordered one or
more plants to cease working for a long
period, and the number of unemployeds
was thereby increased by thousands Of
men from time to time"

he counts the past as only prelude to
the real story of the skies.

golden age of sky travel in the postwar
era and he has no intention of watching
the show from an armchair. He aims to
be in the middle of it.
Not since 1929 has Lockheed been aSso-
ciated with the aircraft firm that he
founded and which still bears his name,

has been first in his mind.

manufactures plywood surface control

But deep as is his interest in the pres

and matter-of-fact concerning past
achievements, he fldgets restlessly and
drapes long leg over the arm of an easy
chair when he turns to his favorite
topic-what's ahead in aviation.

gold resources of New Guinea.
"Airplanes accomplished that" Lock-
heed said, moving in equipment and
supplies over terrain almost impossible

the war there will be much more of that
sort of thing"
Lockheed tosses off questions about his
age, saying he is young man as far as
aviation is concerned. At any rate, he
was very young man, scarcely out of
his teens, when in 1910 he decided that
aviation was the career for him. That
was in his native State, California
Within two years he had designed and
