and the Hall of Fame to which he

EIectrOencephaIOgrGphers To Be Informed of Latest

Boston, Dec. - (UP) - The electroencephalographers are in town and they've added a new twist to their favorite occupation--the study of the brain by mechanical analysis.
 Latest development in electro encephalography called eeg analysis for obvious reasons-is a new type machine which was dem- onstrated in Massachusetts General Hospital today to some 70 members of the Eastern Association of Elec- troencephalographers by its inven- tor Dr W. Grey Walter of London.
 The old type brain analyzer was 6 secondhand crystal ball compared with Dr. Walters new wonder.

NelU York to California
 Via Air in Hour Forecast

wright Field, Dayton. O, Dec. B.
 CUpD-A former top NAzi aircraft designer now doing research for the U. S. Army Air Forces estimated to- day that in about three years com. mercial supersonic planes will be able to fly from New York to Cali- tornia in one hour.
 This estimate ex. eeds the most optimistic forecasts of American authorities. on the imminence of supersonic commercial flights. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics has said that Q l,o0o- nlile-an-hour plane could be devel- oped within three years. Although at might be used to shuttle mail across the country in 2 i-2 hours, its passenger counterpart could not come until later. the committee said.
 The German expert is Dr. Alex. ander w. Lppisch, former chief de- signer Of the Messerschmidt Air craft co. He is one oe 270 leading German wartime scientists and tech- nicians working in this country. Some have been here since septem. Der, iea5.

He believes rock. cts can reach the moon and fly around it. The problem. he said, is to devise one that can carry human beings safely.

 Fl Paso, Tex, Dee. 6-CUP)-Dr. Werner von Braun, s4-year-old top German scientist who is responsible for development of the Naz Va rocket, velieves that a space plat- form 5000 miles above the earth is technically and theoretically" possible.
 Tn an interview arranged by Army ordnance officials at Fort Bliss. the inventor of the weapon, said that the platform would be used as Q refueling station to the moon. He said that it was a definie possibility within the next 10 years.
 Pressurized suits would have to be worn at that altitude, he said, because of the extreme cold and lack of oxygen. He said also that the platforms would have to be assembled ct the 5.000-mile mark by sending the parts up separately.
 There is heat only where there is matter from which the rays may be reflected" he continued. For this reason the platform would be paint ed dark on the side turned toward the sun to facilitate absorption of heat.
 Technically and theoretically it is possible. It is only a kuestion of how much effort can be made in that direction"
 Army ordnance scientists esti- mated. however, that 1t would cost | almost el !O00. 900 900 to put a piece of iron the size of e mans first on l the moon. They said it would be easier to eneircle the moon than | to land on 1t.

 The brain analyser thus assumes tremendous importance in this study. for 1t seeks out the motions of each cell from a mass of motion. It is as if.Ain the loud buzzing of a large theater audience, you sud- denly could pick out the conversa- ton of one person.
 Already, Dr. Walter says automs- tic brain analysis of two patients with his machine showed that there are mechanical similarities in the brain of a child and a psychopath. The 36-year-old doctor brought the machine from London a few weeks ago. It is a simply-looking affair. about the size and shape of a family deep-freeze unit.
