When things had reached

JAPS EMPLOYE HYPNOTISM ON
 SPIES, GI SAYS

Denver, Col, Oct. 10 -- Private Lee Burcheli of Randolph, MieS., c professional magician before he Joined the Army, has advanced the theory that both Germany and Japan may have employed hypnosis iii their pfeswar espionage activities in the United gtateg.
 "Eypnosis is c marvellous tool for espionage" Burchell said, "and t iS generally known that both ders many and Japan have devoted con. siderable money and time to re- search if that field."
 Burchell explains that the sub- congciouB mind can f1eincrize enc tire books with little effort, and per- form other featg which are iIn- possible for the ordinary conscious mind.
 Tt would have been very sine ple,D ile said, flor the JapaneSe to have selected hundred or Q thous sand average JapaneSe tourists and hypnotized them. While under the influence Of the hypnotists they could have been told to store in their gubconsciolis minds every naval yard, every factory, every bridge.
 Awakened and sent on their way they would have had no knowledge of what had been ors dered Of them. Upon their return to Japan after sightseeing in Arner- lca, they could have been placed in q hypnotic trance and, when ques- toned, have revealed fuli details Of the defenseg they had seen"
 If such q hypnotized spy were captured, Burchell says, no could never Do made to tell his mission. If he had been told while hypno- tized that only c certain person, deSignated by name, had the power to hypnotize him, he could then Do awakened and ir oil innocence maintain that he was not . spy, since he would not consciously know that he was one,
