12Ki||ed by2 Bombs
Loosed From Car by
Jews in Jerusalem
BIusts at Juffo Cote
Touch Off Gun Bottle;
Scores Are Injured
BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Jan. Jews
disguised as Palestine police
men rolled 4 bomb into the Jaffa
Gate of the old walled city OF
Jerusalem from a crudely ar
mored motor car today and killed
10 Arabs.
An Arab policeman and a Jew
were killed by a second bomb tossed
from the car in flight. Soldiers
subsequently killed one Of the at
tackers as he fled after abandoning
the car.
A witness said the car, armed
with machineguns, drew up to the
Jaffa Gate, firing into the crowd
and moving slowly.
Then, as we thought they were
turning away" he said, "the bomb
rolled into the street and the ex-
plosion followed"
Scores Of persons were injured.
Car Thrown Onto Sidewalk.
The force of the second explosion
apparently threw the armored car
onto the sidewalk at the corner of
Mamillah road and st. Julian way
The attackers abandoned 1t and fled
over a high stone wall to cemetery
The one man killed was felled as
he clambered up the wall.
A rising gun battle between Jews
and Arabs followed the blasts, and
police and soldiers Rugged the stone
walls of the neighborhood.
A column of smoke several hun
dred feet high rose over the wall
area, from which Arabs have been
besieging 1,500 Jews. The attack
area, Jaffa Gate, lies next to the
Damascus Gate, the most heavily
used entrance Of the old city.
The body of a 70-year-old Jew,
riddled by bullets, was found in the
eastern quarter of Jerusalem.
Sporadic fighting continued in the
Tel Aviv-Jaffa area.
Other Violence Occurs.
Other violence marked this day
of the Christmas observance OF
nearly 100000 Christian Arabs of
the Eastern Churches, which use
the Julian calendar. Mayor Issa
Bandak of Bethlehem, an Arab,
issued a Christmas plea for peace
and an Arab victory.
Two British soldiers were wound
ed by gunf1re on King George
avenue in Jewish section near the
center of Jerusalem. Witnesses said
the attackers were two young men
who apparently sought to take the
soldiers arms and shot when the
soldiers resisted.
The unoficial Palestine death toll
thus climbed to GIT since the United
Nations voted to partition the Holy
Land last November 20.

The number of wheat specu-
lators on the Chicago market in

three-day period last Septem-
Der, the Agriculture Department

The speculator total jumped from

September 20 during a sharp break
in the market which sent wheat
prices tumbling the 10 cents a
bushel daily limit for three days
running, the report said.
The September 20 total compared
with 1,24O speculators active 1917
months before. 1t was exclusive Of
SIS traders classified as hedgers en-
gagged in non-speculative deals.
Today's list failed to supply the
names of any additional public Of
ficials for congressional investiga-

Government insiders" have been

It repeated the names Of 100 Fed

600 bushels or more which were first
made public last week.
The new names on the list are

Mediation's S Refusal
To Act in G5| Strike
Intensifies StruqqIe
Operators Claim Pickets
Are Returning to Work;
Answered by Union

Refusal of the Federal Media
ton and Cancellation Service to
intervene in the strike of cafe
terias in AZ Federal buildings
caused both sides today to
tighten their lines for a show
down struggle.
Claims were made by Government
Services, Inc, operator Of the cafe
terias, that several pickets left their
lines and returned to work at two OF
the buildings this morning, and that
none showed up at third.
Spokesman for Local All of the
United Cafeteria and Restaurant
Workers, CIO, disputed these claims.
They voiced disappointment at the
mediation agency's attitude. but de-
clared it would not stop or weaken
the strike of approximately 1,500
workers.
The stand of the mediation serv-
ice was outlined last night by Direc-
tor Cyrus S. Ching. He explained a
general policy" not to intervene
in labor disputes in which an en-
ployer refuses to negotiate with a
union because of the unions failure
to sign non Communist afndavits in
accordance with the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Called Inevitable Result.
j. C. Niehuss, GSI personnel man
ager, said the situation sis one OF
the unions own making" in COM
ment on the mediation service an
nouncement. This is the inevitable
result Of the unions refusal to sign
non Communist af1davits. The
union now has nowhere to turn in
the Government because the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board previ-
ously declared it disqualified as q
bargaining agent"
Mr.. Niehuss reported that the
Navy Department cafeteria today is
resuming its three shift operation.
Since the strike started Monday
morning that cafeteria operated on
only one shift for breakfast and
lunch. 1t now will serve dinner and
midnight lunch, although still on a
limited basis.

The document is a reproduc-

sent to the United States on diff
ferent ships to decrease the pos

by D. Hartley for Great Britain,
with John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, and John Jay signing
for America.
The treaty was the result of
highly successful diplomacy by
the American plenipotentiaries,
especially John Jay. He negotiat-
ed with the British against the
instructions of Congress and the
protests of the French allies.
Preliminary articles of peace had
previously been signed in No

1t consists of an oval band of
fiber that goes around the head
like a big hatband. On it are
mounted two straps, shaped like
half moons, that 60 over the head.
These topstraps can be moved
backward or forward.
The electrodes are mounted on
the band and the straps. They
have adjusting rods and springs
so that they can be placed firmly
against the skull. They a be
changed quickly to different po-
sitions, and so no needle points
are required. The electrodes are
connected by wires to the usual
type of machine that records the
brain waves on a moving piece of
graph paper.
The advantages, DR.. Mcintyre
said, are that it takes less time
and discomfort for the patient, is
quicker for the operator, and
gives greater flexibility for ex-
ploring specific areas of the brain,
It doesn't however, give quite
as good contact and as smooth
readings as when the needle cleo
trodes enter the scalp. For GER
tain uses, therefore, it isn't as
satisfactory, but it can speed up
many routine kinds of reading OF
the brain waves and avoids the
pain that the needles naturally
cause.

New Hat Reads
Electric Waves
In Human Brain
BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE

ASSocldteu fTeSS science Reporter
Omaha.-The wave of cleo
tricity in the human brain can be
read quicker and easier with a
new hat developed at the Univer-
sity of Nebraska College of Medi-
cine.
Everyone has these waves, and
the science of recording their pat
terms and interpreting what they
mean has developed rapidly in re-
cent years. The waves form diff
ferent patterns when you are
asleep oil awake, or when your
eyes r open or closed.
They also often form typical
patterns in certain diseases, like
epilepsy. Changes in the waves
sometimes can be used to mark
out the area of the brain affected
by a tumor.
The waves change with differ
ent emotions, and may prove use
full in tracking down some per-
sonality disorders. They can be
used to tell whether a person is
really deaf, is pretending deafness,
or actually cannot hear due to a
kind of hysteria even though
there is nothing wrong with his
auditory nerves. His brain waves
will change if loud sounds are
carried by the nerves to the brain,
Electrodes Give Readings
These readings usually are TAX
en- by pasting electrodes to vari-
GUS points on the scalp The cleo
trodes often have needle points
that stick slightly into the scalp,
Fixing them in place takes time,
and often the hair is clipped.
The new hat or headgear
avoides these difficulties. 1t was
designed by DR.. A. r. Mcintyre
and A. L. Dunn of the colleges
