Group Seeks Boost
In Chest Drive Goal

The United Office and Profess
sional Workers of America Local
No. q has requested a meeting with
Daniel w. Bell, president of the
Community Chest Federation, to
discuss increasing the $1,000, 900
campaign goal,. it was announced
yesterday.
The local made public letter ad-
dressed to Mr.. Bell and signed by
Miss Sylvia Soloff, president, which
stated, 1--WE recognize the Chest de-
sire to forestall another unsuccess-
full campaign.
However, We must restate that
the achievement of goal which is
s1,187.00O less than the S5.o87 900
minimum needed to attempt to serve
the community efficiently would be
a hollow victory
Unless the people Of Washing
ton are given the blunt facts" the
letter went on, they will not sub
scribe even to the present goal"
Changing the goal now would be
a dramatic move which might
serve to bring to the attention of
the community the seriousness of
the present situation and stimulate
more generous contributions, it was
contended.
Fear was expressed that low sal
aries now in effect would increase
the departure of skilled workers
from the city's social agencies"

Finds Hidden Check.
A volunteer brought the paper
to photographer for The Star,
and hid it within the barrel of
the flash light on his camera before
screWing the cap back in place.
The students concentrated on the
hiding place in intense silence as
DR.. Polgar was ushered back into
the hall.
Within IS seconds he had singled
out the photographer from some
ESQ students and guests, asked for
the camera and removed the folded
check from the battery holder on
the flash light.
Along this line. the lecturer call
ed half dozen volunteers to the
platform, and asked them through
an interpreter to concentrate on the
name and location of some student
in the audience.
The students discussed their
choice in sign language, while the
doctor shielded his eyes with the
remark he certainly could not over
hear the "conversa ton" After three
tries, he led one of the volunteers
to the youth chosen by his fellow
students.
After the lecture, DR.. Polgar said
he was inclined to agree with Mr..
Elstad that "the ears of Gallaudet's
students may be closed, but not their

| Chapman BIames Prices
On Policies Of NAM
By the Assoeioted Press

MILWAUKEE. Oct. oscar L.
Chapman, Undersecretary OF the
Interior said tonight that the coun-
try is suffering from high prices
because the Republican Party has
followed almost to the letter the
economic thinking of the National
Association of Manufacturers
Mr.. Chapman made the statement
in speech prepared for a Demo-
Gratis jefferson Day dinner.
Mr. Chapman said that "in 1916
the Republicans deluded the people
into believing that we could safely
discard price and rationing con-
trolls" and that in this the COP
took "the NAM line, complete with
hook and sinker."
He also suggested that the Re-
publicans give their presidential
possibilities an antishrinking treat
ment, saying: Most shoppers real
ize that Republican Presidents and
Republican policies have tendency

Deaf students at Gallaudet Col
lege last night proved more re-
sponsive to mental telepathy than
hypnotism.
They couldn't hear Dr. Franz
Polar, psychologist, hypnotist and
mental telepathist, tell them to 60
to sleep, but when they concen-
trated on single thought DR.. Pol
ger got the message at once, he said.
1t was unique experience for
both the students and DR.. Polgar,
who has lectured at scores of COL
leges, and hypnotized thousands of
persons in the last Is years, but
never before had tested his art
through an interpreter who had to
relay messages to the subjects by
sign language.
At least $50 of some 1a5 students
from 40 States at the college turned
out for the tests, and followed the
program eagerly.
Sign Language Interpreter.
The lecturers words we're inter-
preted in sign language by Prof.
William J. Mcclure of the college
staff, and laughter and applause
proved the students got DR.. Polgar's
points as rapidly as those who could
hear him.
Volunteers who responded for the
hypnotic tests. however. proved more
difficult to put into a trance than
subjects with normal hearing-due
largely. DR.. Polgar believes. to the
fact that while they understood
what he was saying and concen-
trated on his eyes and gestures.
they were immune to the vocal
power of suggestion.
Those DR.. Polgar hypnotized were
warned in advance that they would
awake not from the spoken word.
but from three taps on the head. i,
Invited BY College Head.
DR.. Polgar had been invited by
Leonard M. Elstad, president of the
college, at the suggestion of a staff
physician, DR.. Richard Todd. The
officials felt the students would en-
joy the demonstration, and that
something additional might be
learned to improve communications
between the totally deaf.
The audience noted that two
guest volunteers with normal hear
ing responded more readily to
hypnotism. The students gave their
most enthusiastic reception to test
of mental telepathy which DR.. Pol
gar assured them was accomplished
by pure thought transference with
out aid of any other kind.
DR.. Polgar asked for a blank
check from the audience. and
offered to refund his lecture fee
if he could not find it by mental
telepathy alone after the bit of
paper had been concealed in the
room during his absence. The
doctor and his secretary were ush-
cred from the assembly hall by
students to see they neither

Methodist Group Hits Food
As Political Weapon

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The Metho-
dist Federation for Social Action
today announced it deplored "the
use of our economic superiority and
advantage whether in food or other
resources) as a political weapon to
divide a world so greatly in need OF
unity"
In statement by Bishop Lewis
o. Hartman of Boston, its president
issued here. the federation said:
We oppose unilateral action ig-
noring the United Nations, whether
by the United States of America
the U. S. S. r., Great Britain,
France, Holland or any other power
This has been the major reason
for our opposition to the Hoover
Truman Marshall plan. We
urge our leaders to concentrate
their energies and attention on
finding ways to build rather than
bypass the United Nations. to unite
rather than split its members, and
to, work with rather than against
the Soviet Union"

6,O19Cases Of Cancer
Reported Here in As,
With 1,247 Deaths

There were 6,0l9 cases of cancer
reported in the Metropolitan area
In 1916. District Health Officer
George C. Rutland said yesterday.
OF the total, approximately 1000
were in the District, 967 in nearby
Maryland counties and s53 in the
nearby Virginia area.
The cases were reported by IS
hospitals and 1,76s physicians to
a cancer survey by the District
'Heelth Department in cooperation
with the United States Public
Health Service
There were 488.1 cancer cases per
100000 population during 1916. The
disease with the nearest case rate
to cancer was syphilis with rate of
444.l. The tuberculosis rate was
310.3.
The death rate in the District for
cancer was second only to heart
disease, the report states. There
were 1,247 deaths due to cancer with
a death rate of 1879 per 100000,
while the mortality from heart di-
sease was 275.3 for the same popula-
ton ratio.
The fact that a large number of
persons having cancer do not consult
physician and are only diagnosed
at death emphasizes the Importance
of cancer control program" DR..
Rutland said.
Since the survey findings must
be considered a minimum statement
of the local cancer problem these
preliminary results strongly indicate
the need for Bureau of Cancer
Control as an adjunct to the ser
vices of the Health Department. We
have been aware of this public
health problem and recommended
the establishment of such a bureau
as early as the fiscal year 1946.
However. it was not until the pres
ent fiscal year that appropriations
were made for the bureau. For
every death from cancer, there were
3.3 known cases here he said.
The results obtained by the survey
we're made possible through the CO.
operation of the physicians, clinics
and hospitals of the Metropolitan
area; the District Medical Society f!
the Medico-C -Chirurgical Society; the
National Capital Area Hospital
Council: the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society. and the Metropolitan
Health Officers Association, the re-
port said. Of the 1902 physicians
who were asked to report. 82,4 per
cent co-operated. Nearly Sc per
cent of the physicians in Maryland
ana 54 per cent of the physicians in
nearby Virginia reported.
Of the 13 hospitals in the District,
II reported their cases. Three of the
four hospitals in the surrounding
area of Virginia reported and all
five of the Maryland hospitals in
the Metropolitan area reported.
"A further breakdown of the
material given the survey will be
made by mechanical tabulation to
show the incidence and prevalence
rates by age. sex and color; the time
lag between the date on which the
person first noticed any signs or
symptoms indicative of cancer, and
the date on which a physician was
consulted: the difference between
the time of diagnosis and the time
of death; the days of hospitaliza-
ton required for the various types
Of cancer and the length of first
Decentralization after diagnosis
was confirmed as cancer" DR.. Ruh-
land said.
DR.. Rutland said at least another
month or longer will be necessary
for the tabulation of the facts. and
then a full report will be published.

New Navy Plane Uses
Gas Turbine and JET

The Navy today announced a new
experimental fighter using a gas tur-
bine in front IS provide power for its
conventional propeller, and a Jet unit
for additional drive in the tail.
The ship, known as xF2R-1, is
described as the second of the Ryan
Fireball series and probably will be
in the 5G0-mile -an-hour series on
the basis of tests which have been
conducted at San Diego for more
than month, the Navy said.
The new plane is the first naval
aircraft to utilize the gas turbine,
and the second model in this coun-
try. The forward engine is Gen.
eral Electric TG-100 Prophet"
while the thermal jet in the rear
is the I-16, ALSO built by that firm.
Naval officials said that the total
power developed by the new planes
jet engines is considerably in excess
of that developed by the first Fire
ball, which was powered by a con-
ventional, reciprocating engine with
a tail jet for added drive. The in
crease in power, it was reported, is
obtained with relatively smaller
increase in weight.
The substitution of the long, thin
gas turbine for the relatively fiat
air-cooled reciprocating engine as its
main power plant gives the XF2R-1
a long bullet-like nose, heretofore
the mark of in-line engines.
Overall length of the plane is SO
feet, with wing span of 40 feet and
height 13 feet II inches. Standard
fighter armament is carried.

Fruu|ein Saved From Sure Death
AS Stowuwuy on Plane to u. S.

An American soldier delivered the
box yesterday to the airport, where
it remained overnight in ware
house. The soldier said he would
return today to pay for the freight.
Airport attaches said the box was
addressed to "Mr. Rolph Berndt,
$50 West Forty-ninth street, New
York City" and that the girl ap-
parently intended to join former
acquaintance in New York. They
said the soldier apparently had no
part in her future plans and had
delivered the box only as favor.
Persons seeing the box expressed
amazement that the girl could fit
into such a small space. The box
measured 30 inches long, 81 inches
wide and "a inches high. The girl
was in a sitting position, cramped
over. She had room for some tea
and slices of dark German bread.
The box appeared to have been
screwed shut from the outside, but
closer examination disclosed that
the screws penetrated loose holes
allowing control of the cover from
the inside.
Airport officials said the girl had
no chance of reaching New York
without discovery at customs inspec-
tion. The declaration of contents
and other shipping formalities had
not been performed pending the
soldiers return with the shipping

Sweden has aroused anxiety in
that country. The Swedes already
know the favor attached to
United States economic aid.
1.-The United States policy re-
garding aid for Sweden is closely
linked to the United States mo-
