LONG EACH, Calf, Aug. 81
->P)- Roy b. Beebe, 81, whose
"CesH4ie Ray laboratory has
become health mecca for
thousands, faces nuisance
hearing today-with the city
prosecutor on his side.
A petition signed by $50
neighbors charges Bebe with
maintaining nuisance. Cars
are parked all day long for two
blocks up and down the street.
AS many as 5000 people a day
jam his small home and over
flow into neighbors' yards and
into the street. City trucks have
difficulty picking up rubbish
from the curling, and the Rural
mail carrier has to get out of his
car to place letters in the curb
stone mail boxes. The petition
asks the Council to abate the
alleged nuisance.
City Prosecutor Albert c. S.
Ramsey, Mayor Herbert E. Lew
is and members of the City
Council visited the makeshift
laboratory yesterday. AT least
200 persons were in Beebe's
home. Some were standing in
line to receive one-pound pack
ages of ground wheat. Others
were lined up with jugs of wa
ter waiting their turn to subject
the water to the "cosmic influ-
ence" which Beebe said was
emanating from a score Of cop
per wires leading from the lab
oratory. Others were sitting on
the lawn, soaking up" Beebe
said, the "cosmic rays broad
cast over the back yard.
The "cosmic box" Beebe says,
is full of coils and condensers'
but he won't explain how 1t
works. He says, lit drives the

keep going" The highest dona-
ton TO date, he added, was SlO0.
Beebe said that by switching
the contact wire from the COS
mic box" into his garden he has
grown enormous fruits and veg
etables.

the "cosmic treatment" a few
weeks ago 'just to see what 1t

Michigan football coach II. o.
Fritz" Crisler is beginning to
wonder II he may not have done
himself a bad turn by schedul-
ing his Sept. Is opening game
with Great Lakes.
The more Crisler works with
his inexperienced varsity candl'
dates the more he longs for that
extra week of grace which ali
of his opponents will enjoy be
fore sending their charges into
opening games. The earliest
opening for all other big ten
schools Is Sept. %.
While Crisler is quick TO note
the advantages Of having a game
under your belt" he is wonder
ing if an extra week of drills
might not do his green charges
more good than that Sept. 10
encounter with the Blue Jackets.
AS athletic director rather
than football coach, however
Crisler can find considerable
Solace in that early date.

Every Traffic Hazard Except
Back Seat Driving> is Tested
BY ROSELLEN CALLAHAN
NEA Staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA - Death is
taking no holiday az more and
more cars hit the road now that
gasoline restrictions have been
lifted. Drivers not only have to
| contend with Sardine packed
traffic and wool gathering Sun
day autoists, but they face the
additional hazards of break
! downs as worn out cars fall
apart on the highways.
Anticipating increased driving
problems, safety experts have
devised testing machine which
tells in three minutes whether
you're fender bender, or the
never had accident type.
The "driverater, on exhibit
at the Franklin Institute here,
was developed by an oil COM
pany as a means of maintaining
high safety standards for its
fleet of trucks. Though several
satisfactory instruments h We
been devised to measure the
physical ability of driver, the
driverater goes them one better
by also appraising their attitude.
GOOD MANNERS
Good manners on the road,
say safety experts, are the great
est single attribute of a good
driver. Lack of them has been
responsible fer many accidents.
The driverater was designed
TO present actual driving condi-
tons along a typical stretch of
suburban road and small town
business section, which not only
would measure a drivers split
second reactions to potential
hazards, his vision and mechan-
ical skill, but his attitude to-
wards other drivers.
The three-minute test is made
in stationary car in front of a
motion picture screen. Seven
typical traffic incidents are pre-
sented on the screen as the driv-
err "rides" along. If he passes a
car on a curve, is slow in APP
plying his brakes as day
dreaming pedestrian steps in
front of his car, neglects to slow
down when a car shoots out of
an intersection, or fails to see
traffic light on tree-clutter-
ed street, the machine records
his shortcomings.
Each hazard or incident is
marked on the test film by two
notches. If the driver makes the
proper move, an X is scored on
a card in the recording machine
beside the car. If he fails to re-
act correctly within the space
between the two notches-which
are far enough apart on the film
to allow what would be the nor
NAL time for human reaction
the hammer is not released and
no mark is registered.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3l-(R
Termed by critics "a premium
on loafing." President Truman's
proposal for greater unemploy-
ment benefits appeared today to
have died aborning in the House
Ways and Means committee.
One of the bills staunchest
committee supporters conceded
privately that probably no
more than six of the "a members
would vote for it.
The storm of opposition broke
over the legislation as Ways and
Means chairman 'Doughton Cd
NC) told Arthur j. Altmeyer,
Social Security Board chairman,
1t puts a premium on loafing,"
and Rep. Knutson R-Minn),
Senior Committee Republican,
added:
BOON TO OILERS
You are proposing TO raise
the bounty on idleness. Can't
you see you are encouraging un.
employment. Haven't you any
mercy for the American tax
payer?"
The measure seeks, among
other things. to establish a ma.
tional standard of SIS a week
for 20 weeks for unemployment
compensation. The Federal gov
eminent would pay the differ
ence between present State
rates, most of them considerably
below the suggested standard.
+ There was some indication the
committee might salvage one
section Of the bill blanketing
some 100000 Federal workers
under the jobless benefits pro-
gram. Again the government
would defray the cost for these
uncovered workers.
The Senate Finance Commit
te is considering similar legisla-
ton, and the administration re-
ceived easier treatment there.
There Is little prospect, howev-
er, Of the bill becoming law
without the Ways and Means

New Chemical Treatment For Poles
And Posts Announced
Scientists Of the U. 8. Department OF
Agriculture have developed q method
by which farmers and other users of
wood-lot trees can introduce chemicals
into the sap stream Of the wood to in
crease the length Of service of fence
posts, bean poles. garden stakes and
other utility poles. The fresh-cut sap
iings are simply allowed to stand in a
wooden tub or trough containing the
right amount Of chemical in solution
for a period Of about six hours or until
they have taken up the required amount
of chemical. Chemicals recommended
include chromated zinc choloride, zin'
chloride, and copper sulfate (bluestone)
of which the chromated zinc chloride
is the best. The chromated zinc chloride
is twice as expensive as zinc chloride
or copper sulfate. but 1t protects the
wood longer and 10 also less corrosive
