Former Gunner .
Fogel is "a and a former gunner
in the Royal Air force. During
the war, he put on mind-reading
shows and acquired enough of a
reputation to go on a. stage tour
when he was discharged.
About a year ago, he suggested
that the war office use telepathy
to find out what other nations were
thinking. The war office consider
ed this a little revolutionary, but
nevertheless gave Fogel a test.
While a man wrote a message in
one part of the war office, Foge]
sat in another under guard and
copied the message by "reading
the other mans mind" 1t was re-
ported to have been 30 per cent
correct, but Fogel apparently still
is not working for the war office.
He gave a show here today.
Sogel, who does not act as il
there is anything occult about his
powers, said that telepathy, up to
a certain point, "can be developed
by constant practice.

OF course. you never can be sure
that the makers of movies will stick
to an original plan in connection
with the introduction of new pro-
duction. Sometimes they start with
the most modest of notions and find
themselves suddenly in something
that sounds downright grandiose.
Take, for example, the Nets COM

ton was originally announced in the
most routine of fashions. To be sure,
Eagle-IIon fancied its work, as what

to say shyly that "Out of the Blue

Once 1t had lulled every one with
this announcement, it jumped up
suddenly yesterday and shouted to
drama desks that the whole plan
had been changed. that this was to
be a World Premiere.
1t is not, it developed on further
discussion, a world world premiere,
but a kind of Washington world pre-
miere. A whole series of world pre-
mieres in other cities also is planned.

Light on the Debt

 The excellent report on our national debt and the banks" just published by tine Committee on Public Debt Policy, points the serious need of reducing the public debt to curtail nfation
 It also indicates path in which we the people, can act to cmtail the nfation
 An increase in the amount of money in circua- ticn is of course. nfationary. And says the report before in the nations history has the money supply been so large"
 Money in circulation increased from s76o0 100000 in 1889 to 2S,500 900 in lo45 almost fourfold.
 Whereas, in the prosperous POS, demand deposits and money in circulation toaled only about one-thrd of the national income they during the war years to threequarters of the annual national income That much money available for spending when goods are scarce, and that spelled imitation.
 Purchase of government securities by banks a necessary step in financing, contributed to this nflaticn of the money supply the report points out Here it gives rather interesting history ot that financing.
 It credits the Treasury Department with clear understanding of the danger of imitation with war money pouring into American pockets. The Treasury undertook to drain off that money into government bonds It did not want bulgng bllbolds to bid up the scarce commodities It also wanted the cash to finance the

 Now when bank buys bond it permits the government to draw on it for that amount mmedi- atey. This adds to the amount of money in circua- tion When householder buys bond, however, he does so with money already in circulation A sale to him, therefore, does not increase the amount in circulation.
 The job to do now, the report concludes is to reverse the wartime procedure. The job is to get the government securities back from the banks The best way to do this, it says, is twofold one First reduce the government debt, in which case the government would retire bonds now held by banks second induce "nonbank investors which includes us to use cur csah and bank deposits to buy govern ment bonds.
 The report does not go on to translate this further into just what the public do. However, these conclusions to be plain: As citizens We can urge the Congress to reduce the national debt Employers urge employees to continue to buy government bonds Managers ard stockholders can favor investment of cash in bonds. All of us can hold on to present bonds and continue to buy more

HISTORY IN REVERSE

First. Colonel Mccormick, who so ardently admired Vande- Serg before, now is his most vigorous critic. Relentlessly he carps at the Michigan Senator tc" deserting his old isolationism ane for now help ing the State Department keep the world on an even keel.
 Second, Vandenberg probably could have the long-ccveted Pres identlal nomination in 1948, but seems to re genuinely sincere in stating that he doesn't want it.
 Talking to a friend the other day, Van said:
 T can't help remembering what General Marshall told us during the war-that he was constantly afraid his generals would get burned out They don't know they're burnt cut, he explained, but the constant strain of war eventually catches up with them and they lose theT driving power.
 That's the way I feel today burnt cut. I've been going at the same clip ever since Pearl Harbor. And the end of the war only made things worse, for then came the London Conference and the Paris Conference and finally the United Nations meeting in New York. So l am tired. Besides. by l948 I'll be too old"
 Vandenberg is 64 now, but looks considerably younger In fact, he looks as if he thrived on work.
 Regardless ol whether the senior Senator from Michigan could or would be President, his colleagues pay tribute to the fact that he has grown with the years. He is more tolerant, more understanding, more broad minded, and has keen in- sight into the world of interna- tional affairs Unquestionably Ar thur Vandenberg today is the No l statesman on the Republican side of the Senate.
