Cow Hypnotism
Becomes Issue
In Trial Of Koch
BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS


The moot question of whether
an ailing COW can be mesmerized
into believing itself of sound mind
and body was probed today during
the mislabeling trial OF DR.. VIII
liam r. Koch.
Alleged bovine cures were
brought into the case by defense
attorney William Henry Gallagher
after the government had pictured
DIR. Koch as a veritable Svengali
who practically hypnotized pa
ltients back TO health.
The observation-disclosures claims his
challenged products are effective
in treating myriad ailments OF
man and beast.
Herds of cattle on farms near
London, Ont, recovered from or
Idinarily incurable udder inhama-
tons after treatments with DIR
'Koch'S potionS. defense witnesses
had testified earlier.
CATTLE HERDED IN
Or. Raymond w. Waggoner, U
OF NJ. psychiatry professor and
director Of the universitys neuro-
'pSychiatry institute, was on the
stand when Gallagher verbally
herded in the cattle.
"A patient, injected with an
inert fluid. may respond with a
feeling Of well being under the
power Of suggestion by the ply
sician," DIR. Waggoner said.
Just how would you start 10
suggest to a COW that you were
going 10 relieve her OF pain ."
Gallagher asked
II wouldn't attempt 10 sug-
gest TO a cow" Or. Waggoner
replied.
"Oh, you wouldn't" Gallagher
observed. would you say that

~ would expect il to-" the
witness replied. ~ don't know"

John c. Ray. assistant L. 6.
attorney, jumped TO his feet 10
object that there had been no tes-
timony 10 the effect the COW had
flinched.
"Oh, hut there is definite evil
dence that he-I mean she

"Mr. Gallagher is the one who
fiinched." interrupted Frank y
Norris, assistant government at

With Ray Cronin and Russell
Brines I visited various military es-
tablishments around Manila. We
saw P-40s landing and taking of

Of the pilots. They told us it was

"And what are the Philippine
forces?" I asked
The Filipino Scouts, who are SOL
diers of the Regular American
Army under American officers, prob
ably number 10000 to $4,000. They
are professional soldiers and first
class ones. the best riflemen in the
whole United States Army, for ex-
ample. In addition there are some
$4,000 or $4,000 in the Philippine
Army, which consists of youngsters
just recently called into service and
now being trained"
How about our air force?"
There must be 500 planes, pur-
suits and heavy bombers. The Navy
has lot of ply patrol bombers."
What else is there in the Navy?"
Admiral Hart has about 36 sub
marines, of which half are new and
the others old IS boats. He has
about the same number of destroy
ers and one heavy cruiser, the Hous-
ton. and a light cruiser, the Marble
head. And those motor tropedo
boats tied up outside the Manila
Hotel, those black-hulled babies
with four torpedo tubes and SO

Manila Bay is mined and no
enemy ships can ever get in there
under the guns of Corregidor and
the other forts guarding the en-
trance to the bay. Corregidor, itself,
of course, is impregnable.'
Our war strategy, as we worked
it out, was for the heavy bombers
to attack Formosa and Hainan Is
land and mess up the enemy trans
ports before they reachd Luzon. Ad-
miral Hart's patrol planes would
spot the enemy ships, and the subs
and deStroyers and cruisers would
tear into them. sany survived to
reach the islands, American forces
would mop them up on the beaches
and chase them back into the sea
Then the United States Fleet would
come out and close in behind the

The following morning Gen. Mac
Arthur and Admiral Hart held sep

from Washington indicating that
war was imminent. Gen. Mac
Arthur hoped the attack would not
come until after January !. Both
the general and admiral said they
were prepared, however, and would
