Conversation
For.1O Miles

Chicago, May 9. (UP)-A Ger
man instrument for short-range
telephone communication through
the use of invisible infra-red rays
was demonstrated today by North
western University scientists.
The mechanism II capable of
turning spoken words into mira
red rays transmitting them for
miles, and then converting them
back into the original words.
The instrument uses a narrow
beam Of infra-red light. w. 8. Hulk
ford Of the University's physics de-
partment explained.
This provides the maximum of
security for the signals" he said
Ordinary measures cannot detect
them. They are free from static,
and there are no wires or antennae
to be spotted and destroyed by the
enemy.
The German instruments, he
said, had a range Of 10 miles but
were too delicate and, complicated
to be operated except by highly4
trained personnel T4@ i.s%7
In communications of this type.
it was explained, electrical pulses
corresponding to voice frequencies
are used to produce changes in the
brightness of light beam COR
responding ir size and frequency
to- the original voice sound. The
varying light pulses are focused on
a. photo-sensitive receiver at a dis
tart station and there are changed
into audible sounds.
sHuxford said the Japanese also
had set. weighing $50 pounds
which could be broken down for
carrying by two men. He said the
japanese unit was sturdier. but the
range was limited to two miles.

Your CT Rights
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

Washington, May 9.-(NEA)-
Spring is here. And at this time
of the year students begin worry
ing about final examinations, pass
ing courses, and other related SUBJ
jects just as painful.
On the average, veterans have
done better than other students
during this semester in colleges and
schools throughout the country, a
survey shows. But there are still
plenty of them who are worried
about passing. And they face the
threat of having their CT benefits
cut off if they fail.
The law says. the benefits will be
stopped when the veteran fails to
make passing grades" This has
been interpreted to mean that it is
up to the institution to say whether
or not a veteran is doing salts
factory work.
This information is shown in
periodic reports which the school
must make to the Veterans Admin
iStration on the progress of each
veteran. When the report indicates
that the veteran isn't passing in
his school work, or that his con-
duct isn't sufficiently good, the sub
sistence payments are cut off.
This isn't the last word, however.
The veteran can appeal the decis-
ion of the school he is attending.
To do so, he must go to the train
ing officer or adviser who has been
acting as his contact with VA.
GOOD CAUSE FOR FAILURE
Many veterans find it hard to
settle down to the study routine.
When you're away from the books
while, it's tough to get back.
Many have problems at home which
may have kept them from studying
or concentrating. Many may not yet
be adjusted to civilian life. There
are hundreds of legitimate reasons
why veteran may not be doing
passing work in school other than
an inherent inability to do the
work.
VA representatives know this
they have been instructed to be as
considerate as possible in giving
veterans another chance to continue
their education.
Sometimes change Of course Is
necessary. Sometimes veteran does
better when he changes schools
entirely.

failure in their FIRST attempt al

Standing OF Club,
Fans Banking onC Cards
To Gain World Series,
Advance Sales Show
BY the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, April 22.-Loaded
with talent of prewar calber and
off to fast start, the ST. Louis
Cardinals have attracted the largest
advance ticket sales in the National
League clubs history, and owner
Sam Breadon explains 1t this way:
Fans have just decided we're go
ing to win
Never one to talk much. Breadon
was prompted to words by the fact
that sellout of ticket books-they
assure purchasers of their World
Series seats-was completed II days
ago.
ut is the first time in history OF
the club we have sold out the al
loted 10000 books of five tickets
each before the season opened,
satisfied Sam announced cheerfully
The earliest date prior to this
season that our ticket book sale was
completed was July s. In fact, only
on three occasions have we ever solo
out completely"
Breadon expects the season to pro-
duce the largest total attendance in
Cardinal history-as high as 70O,0 ,0OG
or 100000 if no Sunday shows are
rained out.
The preseason sale everywhere
has been phenomenal" Breadon
commented. 1T certainly looks a
record year in attendance all over
the circuit
No limit has been placed on the
number of Cardinal ticket books 60
ing to any buyer and the holder OF
two such books is entitled to pur.
chase a set of world series re-
served seats if the team wins the
pennant.

Richest Derby Likely
To Draw 70 Horses
For Near Record
By Sid FEEDER
Associoted Press Sports Writer

@SSoSio'eo Ttess SpoIS VVfHef
NEW YORK, April 22.-Tne field
for the richest Kentucky Derby Of
them all rapidly has been rounding
into shape lately, and it begins to
look as if about 20 gee-gees will
bounce out when the starter gives
them that Come on, now" at the
Downs May 4.
The starting field depends on how
the oat-burners click in two preps
still to come: Cd The Chesapeake at
Havre de Grace Saturday where S.
w. Labrot's Hamull looks to be the
only real Derby possibility, provided
he stops getting that tired feeling in
the stretch, and 90 the Blue Grass
at Keeneland Thursday, where
there's a very good chance some
thing no one ever has heard of
might pop up.
AS a result, the field might be as
low as Is or 18, and conceivably
could go as high as a new record,
passing the 22-horse rodeo that
charged around the premises back in
1928, the year Reign Count turned
out to be the best crowd" galloper
in the lot.
AS the jig-saw pieces begin to fit
together, the whisper of last fall has
become loud voice-the forecast
that the West would hold the big
hand when they sit down to that
100000 pot this year. OF the 20
more or less probable starters only
eight hang their hats around the
Atlantic seaboard and one is a Ca
madam. The West is sporting three
from Kentucky, two each from
Louisiana, Illinois and Michigan
and one each from Ohio and Texas.
Not the least of them is the Texas
kid, Assault, which heads the dele
cation that will move on Kentucky
from the New York horse factories
in the next few days.
This delegation consists of hall
dozen or SO who got railroad fare
for the trip in the Wood Memorial
at Jamaica Saturday. The choco-
late son of Bold Venture easily was
the best of the lot. The swiftie
from the wide open spaces of Rob-
ert j. Kleberg, jr.'s, King Ranch
came on to win going away by :
lengths with Hampden, Marine Vic
tory, Mist O. Gold and Round View
chasing him home.
