u. 5. Attorney Moves
10 Force Payment in
kIo'nsuppof Cases
BY HARRIET GRTFFITHS.

The United States attorneys Of
nee here is cracking down on fathers
and former husbands whose failure
to provide financial support has
thrown their dependents on relief,
an inspection of the nonsupport
files indicated today.
Since most Of these cases are
referred to the Office by the public
assistance division of the Bureau of
Public Welfare, the compliments
usually are recipients of relief funds.
Alice David, assistant to Joseph
Y. Reeves, District Court probation
officer, reports that so far this year
approximately $25, 900 has gone
through court channels to persons
who have come to the court seeking
enforced support.
Sherman Westrich, In charge of
nonsupport claims for the United
States Attorneys office, pointed. out
that this figure represents only about
one-fifth Of the sum which actually
has gone to victims in non-support
cases through the efforts of his Of
flee, since the transfer of funds goes
through the court in an estimated
one out of five cases.
One Western State is more apa-
thetic in it's attitude toward this
type of case it was revealed recently
with notification that it had denied
removal orders issued here on two
non support defendants because
nonsupport sis not a continuing
ohense" and the removals would en-
tail "a large expense to the Govern
ment."
Mr.. Westrich pointed out, how
ever, that in both cases the wives
and children involved are receiving
public support from District funds
provided for the purpose, one-third
of the amount supplied directly by
the Federal Government.
Removal orders, he added, are
resorted to only when attempts at
"amicable" dispositions have proved
completely futile. I.
/ Once 1t has been established that
a person complained against is de-
liberately ignoring his obligations tc
his family while receiving an in
come which would permit him to
contribute to its support, the prose-
cution goes forward under the non-
support statute.
Nonsupport is a statutory misde-
meanor, carrying penalty Of one
year in Jail, $500 fine or both
The statute provides that defend
ant may be brought back from any
State to face the indictment.

German Device, Ringing Bell
When Brain Is Tired, Revealed

for research purposes but only in q
very practical device for warning
the individual soldier in time to
avoid nervous breakdown.
He had set up a laboratory in a
small village which at the end OF
the war had been occupied by Rus
sian troops. Here. DR.. Kornmuller
said, the apparatus could be found
DR.. Alexander notified Red Army
authorities who showed great inter-
est and said they would order the
model seized at once No report has
been received from them up to the
present. ..
Says DR.. Alexander: "Dr. Korn-
muller thought that this apparatus
could be used as a means of auto
matte signaling of dangerous low
frequencies, that is, of changes in
tthe brains electrical activities
caused by lack of oxygen, fatigue OF
sleep in pilots of aircraft or drivers
of automobiles. The device is sci
to signal all brain wave frequencies
lower than eight per second and is
so designed that it will never re-
spond to any higher frequencies.
Has Great Possibilities.
"This is, indeed, an ingenious de.
vice of wide applicability. In large
bombing aircraft, for instance, {
signaling device could be installed
on the instrument board which
would inform the pilot whether an,
member of his crew. was falling
asleep or suffering from lack o
oxygen.
@On the other hand, in peacetime
the apparatus could be used to pre-,
vent the driver of an automobile OF
long, cross-country run from hav'
ing a serious accident due to fallin,
asleep at the wheel AS soon as tn,
brain waves slowed down at tn,
approach of sleep, the apparatu
could set of an alarm system which
would wake him up,"

A device by means OF which the
brain rings a warning bell as soon
as a man begins to get dangerously
tired was one of the war inventions
of German brain surgeons.
Existence of this instrument has
Just been reported to the surgeon
generals of1ice by Maj. Leo Alex
ander, in civilian life one of the
foremost American neurologists,
who investigated the research work
at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for
Brain Research.
Director of this project was DR..
E. A. Kornmuller, long known as
one of the worlds greatest brain ex-
.perts. The device was intended
specifically to warn airplane pilots
when they were overstepping their
normal endurance DR.. Alexander
says 1t has promising potentialities
of great practical usefulness"
Size of Cigar Box.
The apparatus, he reports, is
about the size of a small cigar box
and is so light that it can be worn
on the head with little discomfort.
Throughout the war, DR.. .Korn-
muller had been studying the elec-
trical patterns of brain activity as
shown by brain waves. He found
that there was a distinct variation
from the normal as a soldier de-
veloped combat fatigue"
The electrical pattern of any ac-
tive brain Is. complex. DR.. Korn.
muller has invented an analyzeI
which isolates those features which
vary from the normal. When DR.
Alexander examined it he told the
German that It was decidedly in
tferior to similar device used By
American doctors.

Diaries 10 Seek
|0PA Aid in
milk Shortage
Producers TO Urge
| Price Adjustment
In Supply Areas

Dairy concerns looked to the Once
of Price Administration today for q
solution to the milk shortage which
threatened to deprive many families
of their normal supply and COM
pletely cut of by-products.
With the industry in the WASH
ington area running about $4,000
gallons day under normal. an
effort will be made tomorrow to inn
press upon OPA the necessity for
adjustment OF price ceilings in sec
tions OF Ohio and Indiana to open
a new source Of supply.
All large diaries today either re-
ported self-imposed rationing to
make the limited supplies stretch to
all customers or pointed out they
barely had enough milk to go around
and could take on no new customers.
Derrick Sees No Relief.
Bruce B. Derrick, manager of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association, blaming labor
shortage and low prices to dairy
farmers for conditions, saw no
chance for improvement before next
year unless OPA changes its price
control policy.
I'VE have three tank trucks ready
here and three trucks at the other
end available for hauling milk from
the Ohio and Indiana points Mr..
Derrick said. These producers
have agreed to our offer of $685. per
100 pounds. but we are baked by the
s2.86 ceiling OPA has ordered for
that territory"
Should the OPA agree to readjust
the price ceiling, the new Mid.
western market would mean an ad-
ditional 10000 to $4,000 gallons a
day for the Washington area, Mr..
Derrick said, which would bring the
daily supply to within 5000 to 5000
gallons Of normal.
Seriousness Felt Here.
Seriousness of the milk drought
was felt here yesterday and today
when one of the larger dairies left
notes with their home deliveries,
apologizing for inability to supply
the complete order.
Another large distributor said IL
had enough milk to fill bare de-
mands today, but did not know what
to expect tomorrow. I'VE are living
on hand-to-mouth basis .
spokesman said.
| j. B. Wright, manager of Mary
land Farms, which supplies subur-
ban areas in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, said the shortage
had enforced 10 per cent cut in
deliveries to homes and stores and
that chocolate milk had been elm
mated except to schools.
Few Expect Aid From Farley.
Like other producers, Mr.. Wrigh,
/ believed the shortage will last until
next year unless there is unexpected
frelfef, and few of the producers ex.
pected aid to come out of the OPA
meeting. - II
By-products, such as cottag,
1 cheese, buttermilk, chocolate milk
sour cream and whipping cream
may leave the market entirely with.
in the week, one producer said.
, Mr.. Wright blamed the shortage
, on demand 10 to Is per cent above
, normal plus per cent drop ir
) production.

ture Department and OPA in keep.
ing down bulk milk prices in the
area, Mr.. Derrick said 7 per cent
of the milk producers had gone ouI

like the others. our immediate aim

built fire, which had to be stocked
constantly while we were there,
for the coal was very bad.
The arrival of our first meal
made us realize, to our joy, that
we had at last moved out of the
rice-eating and watery soup world.
The meal contained bread, real
white bread, and a thick vegetable
cake mixed with maize or millet.
No Warm Clothing.
It was hard life at Sheng TSi

there were no books, and walking
outside in the piercing gales was
too rigorous We could not get
warm clothing and could not move
