that stretched to the globes four
corners, afraid that IL he left his few
familiar acres Of streets and homes,
he might never find his way back.
But neither ochlophobia, nor agora-
phobia interfered with Professor
Leonard's achievements. He wrote
an autobiography which he called
The Locomotive God" in which he
analysed his own psychoses SO well
that il was used as a textbook In
many schools. He became the author
of a score of books of verse, dramas

lake within the same territory.

university gymnasium and could
throw a baseball farther than most
of his students.
The second Mrs. Leonard put up
with II all for 20 years and then got
a divorce. Her husbands phobias,
she said. were merely "a series of

Election Results Could Be Held Up

Providence, R. l., Nov. 1-(UP)- It would be mathematically possible for the results of the presidential election to remain in double until late December or early January, it was learned today.
 This could happen if the outcome hinged on Rhode Islands vote and if this states civilian vote were close enough to make the soldier ballots the deciding factor.
 Rhode Island will not begin counting its soldier vote until Dec 5, and spokesman for the Secre- tory of State said today that this would be a long process which might take several weeks"
 He explained that the Board of Elections, in counting the soldier vote, must examine each ballot to determine in which ward or voting district the soldier normally would have voted, and then assign the ballot to the proper ward or dis trict to be added to its civilian total.

 Equal To Problem

Leyte, Oct. 28.-(UP)- A Navy doctor seldom is called upon to deliver baby, but when faced with the problem, It. Allen Goodyear, of 65 South street, Stamford, Conn, was equal to the occasion.
