took court action yesterday to re-
gain an estimated $125,OO0 in
property. bonds and cash listed in
the name of his former confiden-
tial secretary.
Papers filed in Circuit Court

year-old builder of speedy racing
craft.
The papers identified the won-
an as Mrs. Violet Bellous, "for-
merly Violet V. Sanderson," Mr..
Woods secretary.
Mr.. Wood charged that as his
secretary she gained his conf
dence and trust and had access to
his safe deposit box at the Mer-
camille National Bank, Miami
Beach.
He alleged she removed $4,000
in negotiable bonds and $4,000
in cash from this box and has
since refused to return them.

enjoining the Mercantile Bank
from letting Mrs Bellous or her
husband enter the safe deposit
box, and appointed a receiver to
take charge of the contents.

Final Count Eliminates Reds
In Norwegian Parliament
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

OSLO, Norway. Oct. ia flna1
count of the votes in Norway's
October 10 election yesterday
eliminated the one seat in Parlia-
ment which the Communists be-
lieved they had salvaged from
their overwhelming defeat.
Norway thus becomes the only
Western European country with
no Communists represented in her
new Parliament.
The Reds held II seats in the
old Parliament. Preliminary re-
turns appeared to indicate that
this had been whitfield down to
one. But even this slender
achievement was nullified when
the District election council made
a new count of the votes cast for
Communist Emil Loevlien. A batch
of Labor votes was found yester-
day mixed with the Communist
tallies.
Loevlien was found the loser to
his Labor opponent, Johanne
Petersen, who becomes the s5th
Labor representative in the 150-
member Storting (Parliament).
The opposing non Socialists
have divided the remaining IS
Parliament seats among them
selves: Conservatives %, Liberals

lcrats 8.

stars husband. DR.. Peter Lind.
strom, has agreed to file divorce
papers in California.
A divorce would leave her free
to marry the Italian film director
Roberto Rossellini, next year.
Miss Bergmans representative
Joseph Steele. said the agreement
ended months of negotiations be-
tween Rome and Hollywood. She
formerly had sought to file for di-
vorce here or in Sweden, but legal
difficulties were too great.
DR.. Lindstrom's agreement to
file came after a personal appeal
from Miss Bergman through her
Rome attorney, Monroe Mac
Donald. He flew to the United
States recently and returned with
DR.. Lindstrom's acceptance.
A source closely associated with
both Miss Bergman and Rossellini
said the pair plan to be married as
soon as the divorce is final. Cali.
fornia divorces normally require
one year before becoming final.
Mr.. Steele said DR.. Lindstron
would receive Eat least a very gen.
erous half" of Miss Bergman's
California property under the di.
vorce terms. Grounds for the suit
have not been decided.

800 Bell Employees
Recalled 10 Work
BY the Associated Press

BUFFALO, N. Y. Oct. 49,
About 800 employees were recalled
to work today after settlement
of the 4-month-old stormy Bell
Aircraft strike.
CO. United Auto Workers voted
last night to end the walkout at
the plant near Niagara Falls and
submit the principal issues to
arbitration. The vote was 61s
to 373.
Local SOL, which struck June
10. represents 1,700 production
workers at the Bell plant.
The 300 were recalled In tele-
grams from the company yester-
day. Bell said it planned to re-
sumo normal operations "as rap
idly as possible"
The settlement was reached
Monday by company and union
leaders through q State Board OF
Inquiry.
Terms of the agreement, made
public with last nights vote, listed
the status of % unionists the COM
pany has called "subversive" as
the first subject for arbitration
Bell claims these men led picket
line violence which resulted In &c
arrests. Company refusal to re-
hire them was a principal obstacle
to earlier settlement of the strike
The union sought pension aids
and a 10-cent wage increase. Bel
called the demands "unreason-
able" saying its wages, averag-
ing $1.78 hourly, were among the
highest in the aircraft industry.
Pending arbitration, both par.
ties will follow the contract which
expired June IL. the agreement
provided. All findings of the
board will be final, both sides
agreed.

Senator Cain ATTEMPTS
To Postpone Action on
Wa||gren Nomination
BY the Associated Press

Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington. tried against odds
today to delay Senate action I'M
til next year on President Tru-
mans appointment of Mon C..
Wallgren to the Federal Power
Commission.
Senator Cain conceded he had
little chance to duplicate his feat
OF earlier this year in starting
the bonfire which blocked Mr..
Wallgren's nomination as chair
man Of the National Security Re-
sources Board.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. of
Virginia at that time cast the
deciding vote by which the Sen
ate Armed Services Committee

No Time to Study Action.
Senator Byrd told reporter to.
day he hasn't had time to study
the Presidents surprise action
yesterday in naming his former
senatorial colleague and fishing
trip crony to the power commits
sion.
Mr.. Wallgren was nominated to
succeed Leland S. Olds, whose ap-
pointment to third term on the
FPC was rejected by the Senate
last week in another major rebuff
to Mr.. Truman.
Mr.. Truman Withdrew the Re-
sources Board nomination and
seems likely to let Congress quit
Tor the year without sending UP
any name for that post. He could
fill the job by recess appointment,
however.
Administration leaders predicted
that before Congress quits-prob-
ably tonight-the Senate will give
overwhelming approval to Mr..
Wallgren's new appointment.
Mead Approval Expected.
They expected clearance, too,
without objection, for the NOM
ination of James M. Mead of New
York, like Mr.. Wallgren, a for
mer Democratic Senator, as a.
member of the Federal Trade
Commission.
Senator Cain argued that con-
firmation Of Mr.. Wallgren ought
to be held up until the Senate can
find out what the former Wash
ington Governors qualifications
are for the power commission job.
II don't necessarily say that II
would be opposed to the appoint
ment but the Senate ought not
to confirm a man in the dark
Senator Cain said.
The Senate Commerce Com
mittee disregarded Senator Gains
plea for hearings yesterday when

nation. 10 to 0, a little more than
two hours after Mr.. Truman sent
it to the Senate. It also approved
Mr.. Mead's nomination unani-
mously.

believe during the war.

Admiral Yamamoto was shot
down by Maj. Thomas Lamphier

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-Dogs sport
ing built-in radio receivers be-
meath their skin are working for
science.
And they're doing a good job
although they got off to a bad
start by helping interfere with
radio reception in Albany. N. Y.
The American College of Sur
geons was told today by an Albany
doctor that tiny radio receivers
are buried beneath the dogs skin
between the shoulder blades.
The general idea Of the setur
is this:
The radio receivers are turned to
a particular frequency. enabling
scientists to stimulate the dogs
nerves by remote control.
When the radio signal is re-
ceived, it is converted to electrical
energy which is then transmitted
over wire in the dogs body tc
any nerve the scientist wants tc
study.
The researchers are using the
method to try to match the cleo
trical stimulation of nerves that
goes on under both normal and
abnormal physiological conditions
in the body.
The actual radio receiver is
only an inch and one-quarter in
diameter.
The receiver is a perfect sphere
inclosed in a plastic non-irritat-
ing substance. It is connected by
means of a plastic inclosed special
wire to a tiny silver foil electrode
which can be fitted over nerve
like a collar.
The doctor describing it said
that an even smaller receiver had

But he said the latter, however
can receive a radio beam from
only one direction, and the dogs
found that by curling up their
bodies in a certain way, they
could avoid the stimulation. The
other set can receive signals from
