1474 MANUSCRIPT
Bought for $50
is Found Rarity

PITTSBURGH - W.P)-When
Thomas Mellon bought 470-
year-old manuscript for $50 sew
eral years ago, he didn't realize
that his chance purchase would
turn out to be the only book of
its kind in the world.
The manuscript, an abridge-
ment of Duns Scotus' writing on
philosophy, is written on fine
vellum in two columns on so
leaves. signed by the scribe,
Paulius Parianus, in l474, and
is described as "a fine, perfect
copy"
81 bought the manuscript
from a man named Voinich in
New York about 25 years ago,
said Mellon, nephew of the late
financier. Andrew Mellon, after
he presented it to the University
of Pittsburgh Library. " l didn't
know that it was valuable, but l
thought Pitt would like to have
it,
University officials were
greatly surprised recently to get
letter from the Society of st.
Anthony in Rome requesting a
photostat of the manuscript,
which was sent 10 them immed-
lately. The request was made
by the committee Of Editors of
Duns Scotus' works, through
the Cosmopolitan Science and
Art Service in New York.
Johannes Duns Scotus was
one Of the great thinkers Of the
Middle Ages. He was profess
sor Of theology at Oxford, later
moving to Paris and then to Co
logne, where ne died in 1903.
The abridgement Of Scotus'
writings, entitled Opinions is
attributed to many English
scholars, to Roger Bacon and
Roger Angelicus.

Role Proves
a PuzzIer
BY RICHARD TOMPKINS
AP Newsfeatures Writer

Japan's war lords command
her troops, but it is Emperor
worship that makes them fana-
teal.
Cloaked with divinity by ira
dition, the Emperor can do no
wrong.
Whether he favored the war
OF not, Hirohito outwardly sup
ports it. The war therefore Is
sacred" because the Emperor
who sanctions it is "divine."
He is the living core Of the
Shinto religion, based on wor-
ship Of Imperial ancestors from
whom all Japanese lay claim to
descent. Furthermore, all jap
anese revere the Emperor as the
descendant of an "unbroken'
line of rulers. Combine this UNI
swerving feality with the desire
to perpetuate the Imperial dy-
nasty and you have fanaticism.
Japanese, weary of the war,
might blame the army and navy
clique, or Hirohito's advisers, but
never the Emperor.
Observers having close contact
with the court say that Japan
would not have gone to war with
us if Hirohito had had part of
the power attributed to him.
His message to President
Roosevelt told of his earnest en-
deavors" to keep peace.
But generals and admirals
usurped the vast powers of mis-
throne, and Hirohito had to do
their bidding To the unknowing
masses, however, it was war for
the Emperor.
A year after war started he
made a solemn pilgrimage to the
grand shrine Of the Sun Goddess
to pray for "divine assistance.
Only last December, when SUI
perfortress were bombing Japan
Hirohito visited TO the famed Ise
shrine to pray for victory.
When Hirohito came TO power
in 1926 he chose for the name
Of his reign "shoWa,' which may
be translated enlightenment
and peace" But the army made
it mockery with the invasion OF
Manchuria. Hirohlto dutifully
played the role Of puppet, ar
ranged by Japan's real rulers.
II is not believed likely that
he will become a self-imposed
exile in Manchuria or elsewhere
when the pressure on Japan gets
too great. His subjects would
have no god, and Hirohito holds
the empire together. Some OBJ
servers believe he is too con-
cerned to desert his people.
Taking his job seriously, but
performing his duties mechanl-
cally, he might be expected even
TO aid the United Nations in
making militarism impotent as
long as he reigns. The state De
partment's policy of not con-
demning Hirohito would indicate
his usefulness along such a
course.

Helps Develop
SiunaI Device

CAMP CROWDER, Mo. - A
former Mount Clemens, Mich,
soldier and two OF his buddies
have perfected a device that may
save the Army Signal Corps
many hours of trouble shoot
ing" short circuits in small
switchboard units.
Working in the Central Sig
nal Corps School base camp
here, the three men--PVts. Har-
old L. ESsig, formerly of Mount
Clemens, Everett W Carfrcy, of
Columbus, Ohio. and Johnny
Cunningham - devised testing
equipment which determines
short of open circuits on any
Of the IS Individual circuits in
one of the switchboard units
simply by the twist OF "a dial
and operation Of a lever switch.
Using the equipment, a COM
plete unit can be tested within
% seconds, whereas IT formerly
required as much as four or five
hours.
Old equipment was a meter to
which were attached two long
wires which had pln-point nee
dies at their ends. These needles
were placed in contact with each
Of the circuits in rotation, until
all had been tested.
With the new equipment,
however, the unit is removed
from the switchboard and con-
nected into the device Then, by
simply changing position Of the
dial and throwing the lever
switch, each of the circuits is
tested individually and COM
pletely.
Drawings of the "loose unit
tester have been submitted to
Camp CroWder's Post SuggeS-
ton Committee for possible
adoption as standard equipment
by the Signal Corps.
