The paradoxical Dunninger con-
stantly insists that his work is not
related to the supernatural and in
the same breath relates that he has
asked the United States navy to let
him make our battleships invisible
to the enemy. He's a magician, too.
When he gets bored reading
minds, he might be found on stage
making an elephant or two disap-
pear, saving a woman into eight
pieces, or, If the saving makes her
nervous, he'll just let her float in
midair.
But thought reading occupies most
Of his time these days. According
to Dunninger, this is how it's done:
s'The sender must concentrate
upon his thought. The receiver does
not try to form a preconceived idea
of what the thought will be, but
keeps his mind open and then ac-
cepts the first impression without
question.
II usually vision a black slate
and my impressions usually come
In the form of white writing or
images upon this slate"
Sometimes Dunninger uses real
states, as he did in Chicago when
entertaining group Of All youths
at their 22nd annual congress. The
master Mentalist'' called a young
farmer to the stage, handed him a
piece Of chalk and a large slate,
then told the youth to leave the
room and draw any symbol upon
the slate.
This Time It's Real Slate.
Dunninger picked up another
slate. Almost as soon as the youth
had left the room the master Men
talist" drew a large dollar sign
which he displayed to the audience.
The youth returned and held up
his slate. On it was dollar sign.
Dunninger hopes to try a varia-
ton of this feat with Walt Disney
Of Hollywood soon. He win ask Dis
ney to draw Mickey Mouse, Donald
Duck, or any other famous animat-
ed cartoon character. Dunninger,
seated in another room, or posi-
bly, another city, win try to read
Disney's mind and reproduce the
character.

will succeed. For although he says

he is not a musician, he succeeded
in reproducing bar of music writ

two men were separated by the
thick walls of different broadcasting
studios.
"Of course" explains Dunninger,

minds concentrated on the same sub
ject, the easier it is to receive that
subject. Therefore, in practicing
thought reading, it is best to start
out with a group Of minds concen-
trating on the same thought"
Some of the famous minds Dun
ninger has read are those of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor
Roosevelt, the duke Of Windsor,
Thomas Edison and Pope Plus XII.
The Master Mentalist" discusses
his strange art quite freely. He be-
ieves it could be developed for use
in such fields as criminology, psy-
chology and psychiatry, but he
thinks the time is a long way off,
because so little is known as to the
nature Of thought reading. He be-

operate as a radio receiving set."i
A Mental Radio.
His theory is that he figuratively
twists dials until he hits wave
lengths on which he receives mes
sages or images.
Before a broadcast, he tunes up
by walking through the audience as
he distributes slips of paper on
which they are to write their
thoughts. These slips stay in the
possession of the writer's and every
one is urged not to show his slip to-
anyone in the studio.
"Those slips are the explanation
of your mind reading act" wrote
one person to Dunninger. Some
how or other you manage to read
them, probably when you walk down
in the audience" Another skeptic
wrote: "You take the slips away
from the people, read them, and re-
turn them without the audience real
izing it."
He disposed of the slip theories
by reading several thoughts which
had not been written down. 81 ask
people to write their thoughts" ex-
plains Dunninger, because it usu-
ally makes those thoughts clearer in
their minds" As for walking in the
audience, Dunninger says he does
that ''to become acquainted with
my subjects. It seems to make the
impressions come clearer and fast

Skeptics Amuse Him.
Skeptics are constantly trying to
explain Dunninger's work in terms
other than telepathy. Sometimes
this is a source of amusement, says
he.
1.-TWO or three men investigating
my work apparently were passing
notes to each other in the studio
during one Sunday afternoon broad
cast" Dunninger relates. 81 kept
receiving impressions of these notes.
One note read: 'Dunninger walks

Judge Begins Study
OF Eviction Suit

Judge John P. Mcmahon yester-
day took under advisement in Land
lords and Tenants Court the case
of nine tenants of 2618, 1920 and
1922 Thirteenth street NV, fight
ing eviction proceedings instituted
by the Fidelity Mortgage Invest
ment Co. and Edward C. Baltz, vice
president, and owner of the
property.
Mr.. Baltz testified under cross
examination that in the proposed
MIA remodeling plan, he was to
lease the property to the Govern
ment and receive $4,000 after taxes
were paid. At present, he said, he
received no return on the property.
Judge Mcmahon denied defense
motion asking for a jury trial on
the grounds that it was too late
The case already has had several
continuances, the judge said.
Eviction proceedings were insti-
tuted by the mortgage company and
Mr.. Baltz so that the 18 large apart
ments might be converted into
smaller units for war workers. Mr..
Baltz said that no contract had
been signed with the MIA, but that
all arrangements were ready for
signing once the building was empty.
The nine tenants claim that there
are Ill people living in the building,
most of them war workers. They
charge through their attorney, Col.

Noe Urges Return 10 Fold
OF HueY Long Supporters

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-James
A. Noe, former Governor and now
Democratic national committeeman
from Louisiana, said last night that
"if Huey Longs old supporters come
back into the fold where they be-
long" Lewis L. Morgan will be elect
ed Governor of the State.
The Monroe man said in an in
terview that he "hates to see a lot
of Huey Longs old supporters
throwing their votes away on differ
ent candidates, on candidates
who don't have chance to win"
Mr.. Noe added:
Those wasted votes will only help
Gov. Sam Jones crowd in the pri-
mary this month. But if Huey's
supporters come back in the fold
Morgan will be an easy winner"
Mr.. Morgan is indorsed by the Old
Regulars political organization,
group headed by New Orleans
Mayor Robert S. Maestri which
Senator Overton, Democrat of
Louisiana said yesterday is working
to send Mr.. Noe to the Senate in his
place.

Furthermore, 1t Is said that re-
ports reaching Berlin speak Of an
important meeting in q certain
town in Central America between
Spanish Republican leaders, among
whom are Negrin, Martinez Barrios,
Indalecio Prieto, Miaja and Media
riaga. Berlin believes that the OBJ
ject of this meeting is the organi-
zation of Spanish government"
to oppose Francisco Franco.
AS the last element in this pre-
paratory campaign, the Germans list
the alleged concentration near Tan
giers of liberated Spanish militia
men who are undergoing military
maneuvers. Berlin asks whether all
this activity is not preparatory to a
revolution in Spain which would
allow the Allies to use this WELL
situated European appendix as the
basis for second front operations.
At present, Spain, they say, Is
like a powder barrel which the
Allies intend to blow up at the op-
perfume moment.
The propaganda value of this
Evening star., 1944-01-06

campaign, which comes stimuli
taneously in the Swiss press from
Chiasso In the south and Basel in
the north, is obvious. That the
Germans should have time to con-
centrate propaganda on such = re-
mote subject as Spain when they
have SO many birds In hand" proves
one thing: The Nazis feel that ne
gotiations between the Allies and
Franco are in the wind and fear
the outcome OF such discussions.
Therefore, they are doing their
utmost to vent their anger against
the British and Americans by
blazoning alleged signs of their
"intrigues" against Spain's present
regime.
