hand. -AHd-then- n-he-receiYed word
from England that Lady Diane,
whom he had never ceased to love
had been killed by robot bomb
The whole combination was too
much for his nerves. His sleep was
filled with nightmares in which slinky
dragons, raVen-colored and raVenous,
approached with swapping jaws. In
his waking hours he saw a slant-eyed
assassin in every shadow.
II was about this time that Mitsuru
Toyama, founder and head of the
Black Dragons, died and was reported
TO have been replaced by new and
even more merciless dictator. The
resultant publicity for the secret So
ciety of vengeance did anything but
soothe the tennis stars emotions
Offers came for profitable lecture
tours. but Philip turned them down
He was determined to avoid all public
appearances and social contacts. His
friends finally persuaded him TO visit
DR.. Robert S. Berns, a psychiatrist of
Beverly Hills, Calf.
DR. Berns, after several interviews,
finally broke the Black Dragons grip
He convinced Philip that the chain of
misfortunes was merely a tragic CO.
incidence. The real trouble, he de
cided, was an unhappy childhood
which produced desire for escape
Making a career out of tennis,
abandoning his honeymoon home in
England. fleeing TO the Orient, even
the present aversion to society-all,
the doctor said, were manifestations
of the same escape neurosis.
Gradually the dragon was reduced
to liZard-size proportions. The other
day il vanished entirely, exploding
like toy balloon. The company Of
his friends is becoming increasingly
important TO Philip Harman. And
those lecture offers are beginning to
look mighty attractive.
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-27

A T LAST the Shiny claws of the
- Black Dragon Society, Japan's
v farreaching band of avengers,
have lost their grip on the mind of
Philip Harman, socialite tennis star
who spent six terTorfilled months in
a Jap concentration camp.
Psychology has been able 10 do
what his friends found impossible
TO convince the memory-haunted ex-
prisoner that the Black Dragons
strange powers were not being direct
ed at him in retaliation for an insult
TO their emperor.
Philip was one of those California
wonders on the tennis court. He was
hardly out OF his knee breeches be.
fore he was winning titles and when
he reached his late teens he was pick
ing up Junior championships all over
the country. Then he went to school
in England and competed against Bar
on Won Cramm. Bunny Austin, Kay
Stammers. Mary Hardwick and other
net notables. He was a close friend
of the King of Sweden and the late
King of Siam. both ardent tennis fans.
His fascination as an athlete was
augmented by collar ad profile and
a debOnair manner that caused many
a dainty English heart to flutter He
practically had his choice OF the elig-
ible plums in the British upper crust,
and he finally picked Lady Diane
Towers, who had plenty of what it
takes in pulchritude and pelf
This was one doubles combination
in which Harmans love.set technique
didn't seem 10 work There was a
misunderstanding not long after their
marriage and Philip departed for
about as distant a spot as he was able
to find. He went 10 Honolulu, where
he became a tennis instructor with

group commented:

All Germans Realize Defeat,
Agriculture Chemist Reports

parents, particularly OF German
mothers, DR.. Balls considers one Of
the biggest problems facing occupa-
ton forces.
Germany's technical schools were
bombed out by the Allies because
OF their location In focal armament
making centers, DR.. Balls reported.
He added that Germany is short,
too, on all types Of scientific books,
chemical abstracts and the chem
ical journals which deal with chem
ical research throughout the world.
Desperate efforts are being made
to create supplies of firewood In
the cities under Allied control, for
Germany has excellent forests and
the people are being encouraged to
use them. No dependence for this
winter can be put on coal for fuel
because the props In the German
mines have been generally bombed
out, and much excavation work
must be done before they can be
replaced, DR.. Balls said.
"Regimented mass feeding by the
Allies for the children, the elderly
and the sick seems q moral neces-
sity If the helpless and the already
undernourished are to be kept from
starvation until the harvests come
to Germany once again." DR.. Balls
emphasized.
Cigarette Currency.
Few hotels for civilians are open
as yet. Telegraph, telephone, rail-
way and other general utility serv-
ices have not been re-established on
any widespread scale. The ceaseless
trek of great numbers Of displaced
persons continues to be an increas-
ingly grave problem.
Cigarettes are the real currency
OF the country. Tobacco stocks are
low. The average German depends
for his smokes on the poor quality,
raw tobacco grown in weedy little
Victory" gardens. Butts Of Amer
lean cigarettes are priceless finds.
A bar of American chocolate or a
package of cigarettes have an al
most unestimable trading value.
The children beset all Americans
with desperate pleadings for chew
gum and chocolate" Clothings and
shoes in many instances are patched
and repatched until the original
material is scarcely discernible.
On the other hand, the German
countryside is comparatively pros
porous, almost untouched by the
war. There the people are eating
relatively we'll. This is all in con-
trast to England, where not an
ounce of meat is being served in
many a middle-class restaurant, and
one egg, usually of the dried va
riety, is still weekly luxury In the
diet OF the Briton, DR.. Balls re-
! ported.

BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

Totally at variance with the situa-
ton at the close Of the World War I,
scarcely q German today fails to
realize his country is thoroughly
beaten, according to DR.. A. Kent
Balls, internationally known bio
chemist with the Agriculture De-
partment.
DR.. Balls has just returned from a
three-month survey of Germany as
a scientific consultant for the For
eign Economic Administration in an
effort to ascertain what advances
the Nazis made in agricultural
chemistry during the war. In his
opinion, research In this field. as in
many others, was practically at q
standstill.
The United States, DR.. Balls be-
lieves, Is to be complimented for an
intelligence service superior to that
of the Germans on scientific mat
ters. He felt sure, for instance, he
already was aware Of far more about
German scientific activities in his
field than the Germans were about
ours. The Nazi party seems to have
had the custom of restricting tech
biological secrets" to its members.
At least some Of these secrets were
so petty and unimportant as to be
highly amusing. Any chemist with
an adequate laboratory could have
worked them out In week, starting
from what was already public
knowledge, DR.. Balls holds.
The most interesting scientific ex-
pertinent DR.. Balls saw being con-
Quoted in Germany is entirely under
American Army auspices. 1T Is To-
Gated at a once-famous German
agricultural station at Frysing
about 80 miles north OF Munich
Left practically intact, 1t is now
headquarters for an agricultural
school for American soldiers on oc-
cupation duty. Under the command
of Col Garnett Hamilton Wilson
hundreds Of American servicemen
are enrolled in six-week courses OF
their choice.
Wide Range of Courses
Many German agricultural scien-
lists of non-Nazi convictions, whose
names are by-words in the scientific
world, are cooperating in their
fields for the furtherance of the prof.
ect, under the resourceful direction
Of Maj. BARLEY Carbon, who is re.
lated to P. v. Carbon, director Of
research for the Agriculture De-
partment. In this extension course
the subjects range from methods Of
raising poultry to abtruse courses
in the chemistry Of soil enrichment
or of plant growth.
