Hearing Society Told
OF New Type Test

A new type of test for the hard
of hearing, still is in the expert
mental stage, was discussed here last
night by DR.. William G. Hardy. di-
rector of the hearing and speech
center of Johns Hopkins Hospital.
DR.. Hardy spoke at a meeting of
the parent study group of the WASH
ington Hearing Society, at 2431
Fourteenth street NV.
DR.. Hardy pointed out that most
tests, such as the standard audio-
meter test, depend on the individual
indicating whether he hears a GER
tain sound. The new test shows this
reaction mechanically as in a lie
detector test, it was explained.
DR.. Hardy said that for this OBJ
jective test of hearing, electrodes
are fastened to the palm of the
hand or soles of the feet and the
reaction of person to sounds is
noted by moving needle. DR..
Hardy mentioned that the new test
eventually will be especially valuable
in determining the hearing re-
Sponses of children.
Mrs. James E. Walsh, jr., president
Of the study group, presided at the
meeting. The parent study group
includes some 43 members and meets
monthly to discuss emotional and
physical problems of children with
hearing defects. Miss Rose v. Fell
bach is director of the society.

WINNIPEG, Jan. 22.-The Royal
Canadian Air Force moved swiftly
today to evacuate II men from a
Hudson Bay icefield where they
spent the night after their plane
was forced down during a mercy
mission.
First to be rescued will be Harold
Dunn, Department of Transport
radio operator, whose illness prompt
ed the 4,000-mile mercy fight.
Those on the ice patch radioed an
appeal that Mr.. Dunn be taken to
safety as soon as possible.
Wing Comdr. A. Walmsley, who is
directing operations from Stevenson
Field in Winnipeg. said weak
stretches of ice in the area will
make it necessary to land a light
single-engine plane to pick up the
sufferers.
Pilots who have flown the spot
said there is 2,0OO-foot strip of ice
a quarter mile from the plane
which seems sufficiently safe to per-
NIT a light ski-equipped craft to
land
No rescue attempt was made yes
terday, but supplies were dropped
as well as Arctic tents to protect
the men from the cold. The tenn
perature dropped to As degrees be-
low zero last night A gas stove
and fuel also were parachuted to
the spot.
The forced landing ended the
mercy flight which began at Rivers
last Monday when the plane took off
for Arctic Bay. on Baffin Island, 400
miles north of the Arctic Circle, to
pick up Dunn. suffering from
stomach ailment.
The plane went off its course, ran
out of gas and was forced to land

Fort Story's 16-Inch Guns
0utmoded, 10 Fire No More

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 22.-The
16-inch guns at Fort Story. which
periodically through the years sent
their sound reverberating for miles
around. rattling window panes even
in Norfolk, have been silenced for
ever.
1t. Col. E. B. Hampstead. COM
manding officer at the fort. also
said that another two-gun battery
at Fort John Custis on the top Of
Cape Charles, had been dismantled
and sold for scrap.
For the reinsurance of the de-
fense- minded, he added that dis
position of the big guns, largest ever
developed for coastal defenses. did
not represent loss of all armament
at the entrance to Chesapeake Bay.
He would not elaborate on this
observation for reasons of security.
The oFrt Story guns were con-
sidered outmoded They fired 1000
pounp projectiles costing about ST.

CONCENTRATION:

Governor Fuller Warren's singing re-
Duke of the Ku Klux Khan has evoked
favorable reactions throughout the state,
so much so that the city commission in
Miami on Wednesday voted unanimously
in passing resolution that stops in that
city burning of crosses and masked
parades.
While the Ku Klux Khan is not named,
il is plain to see that the ordinance is aim
ed directly at that organization. Four of
the provisions read:
Prohibits the wearing OF masks or
anything else designed to conceal identity.
Prohibits the entrance on any persons
premises while wearing a mask.
Prohibits the burning of crosses.
Prohibits the meeting of any hooded
organization.
Key West, as well as many other
cities, experienced KICK operations that
led to death. Two men lost their lives here
as a result of XXX activities. AS Governor
Warren pointed out, if anybody violates a
law, summary action should not be taken
against him by any other man or group of
men. as such action is usurpation of con-
stituted authority. The governor further
pointed out that the courts are the places
to deal with violators of the law.
However, the Khan is now only4a
shadow of what it was 20 or 25 years ago.
Aside from Georgia, comparatively few
Khan organizations now exist Former
members became convinced that while the
end attained might have been public spirit
ed, the means by which it was attained
flOuted law and order.
Commissioner II. Leslie Quigg. who
has had rough times in his public career in
Miami, sponsored the anti-Klan ordinance.
Regardless of the criticism, just and unjust,
that have been directed at him, he should
be commended for his courage in opposing
the Ku Klux Klan in Miami, where it is
fairly strong.

DISASTER ON GREAT PLAINS

1t is difficult for many people in the
United States to appreciate the plight of
several hundred farm and ranch families.
in the State of Nebraska, who have been
practically cut off from outside assistance
for number of weeks on account of
heavy SHOWS.
Not only have families run short of
food and medicine, but some of them have
been burning fence posts and even furni-
ture 70 keep warm. In addition, thousands
of head of livestock have suffered because
it has been impossible for farmers to get
feed to them.
The Army has rushed assistance in
the way of bulldozers to open roads to
reach the stricken areas not only in Ne
braska, but Nevada, Utah. Wyoming,
Colorado and South Dakota Thousands of
miles of roads are blocked by snow, which
has fallen so heavily that Governor Val
Peterson, of Nebraska says that it won't
be cleared until May" Adding to the out
look is the probability of heavy SHOWS yet
to come.
In connection with this story of suf-
fering is the realization that millions of
people in the United States hardly know of
the plight of their fellow Americans.
News of the unusual snowfall brought in
formation about planes dropping feed to
cattle and food to people but the magni-
tude of the disaster that has stricken a
large area is not generally appreciated

SOME FAIRLY GOOD ADVICE

Two Russian Air Force officers, who
escaped from the Soviet Union and reached
the United States recently under the
auspices of the U. S. military authorities
in Germany, advise American Commun-
lists to volunteer to go to Russia for one
month"; declaring that when they return
to the United States, they will be glad to
resign from the Communist Party.
This is interesting advice. 1t might be
extended to cover some of the radicals in
the United States who are always telling
us how much better things are in other
countries. Maybe, if these people would
get out of the United States and try living
in the foreign country they admire, from
a distance, they would be more apprecia-
tive of their own country.

the carefree weeks, adding the
ever important masculine eie-
ment to her various ACTIVITIES.
AT least three evenings a wseek siae
would call for her and they
would go dancing, usually to
Playland where the orchestra
was acknowledged to be some
thing quite special. and where
an air of informally and good
fellowship prevailed.
One his free days Jack, had
taken her for long drives on the
Cape. They would take their
bathing suits along, because they
usually wound up at Alden
Beach. They would stop at road
side stands to eat hamburgers or
hot dogs, or friend CLAIMS that
tasted like something out of this
world-any world.
1t was the middle of August
and only few weeks of the
glorious summer season remained.
Jack had promised to arrive
early so they could have a long
day with plenty OF time for
browsing around.
"Pll be, out front honking the
horn at eight o'clock sharp" he
said. IF you don't want the whole

the car entered the driveway,
before Jack started blowing that
Internal horn. It. was now ten
o'clock, and still Jack had not
come. That was not like Jack
Barnes. As a rule he arrived
much too soon.
At that moment she heard the
sound of an automobile horn OUT
side-three long blows and one
short, which was Jacks usual
signal, to be repeated at unneces-
sariiy frequent intervals until
Betty appeared. Today, however,
he did not repeat the signal.
