Bernarr McFadden Makes
Chute Jump at Age 81

4 DANVILLE, N. Y.-Physical
culturist Bernarr MacFadden, a
venerable 81 years Of age, made
his first parachute jump and
walked away smiling. He bailed
out Of the plane at 1000 feet.
His wife rolled up to the scene
in a red convertible, jumped
out and ran to meet her hus-
band, shouting:
"Oh, you wonderful man,
you"
McFadden stamped around
climbing out Of his parachute
rig.
1T was wonderful coming
down." he said.
A threat of arrest by state
police. if he went through with
the jump, dissolved. The officers
apparently were satisfied when
a MacFadden aide announced
over a loud-speaker at the air
port here that it was not an ex-
hibition jump and asked the
spectators to go away. Many Of
them did.
MacFadden's announced pur-
pose was to prove that "this
growing old idea is all nom
sense" The jump was also in
observance of his birthday, and
his wife's 45th, both of which
occurred in the last few days.

Brain Wave Music
By Electric Waves
Is Seen for Future

CHICAGO.-Hearing music by
''brain waves" without band or
composer is something possible for
the future. Some day composers
won't write music and musicians
won't play it-yet fans may enjoy
it in never-before-heard perfection.
The composer or artist will SIM
ply project it by brain waves
thought transference." So thinks
Raymond Scott, a man who thinks
in terms Of music and electronics.
brains put out electrical waves"
Scott said in an interview. II
wouldn't be at all surprised if some
day it were possible to do away
with links in music. such as writing
it out and playing the notes. You'll
Just be able to think it.
Imagine fastening electrodes to
your head, inviting some people to
your home, and then thinking your
music. II you wanted 1000 violins
you could have them-and If you
wanted the bass fiddle to play pic
colo parts. you could do that. too"
Scott says even recordings will
carry, instead Of musical sound. the
brain waves Of the composer. No
arrangers. no rehearsals.
Scott is a New Yorker who has
passed most Of his adult life work
ing on new developments in his two
loves, music and electronics. He
maintains a permanent electronics
research laboratory in New York,
while he composes music and di-
reefs his bands for radio shows and
night club appearances. His must
cal theories have always been Off
beat.
He was appearing at the Blue
Note. a Chicago jazz spot. But
Scott is the first to admit his music
isn't jazz. Instead. it's in a category
he calls ''quite undefinable."
For instance, some of his favorite
compositions have these titles:
"Dedicatory Piece To The Crew
And Passenger OF The First Ex-
detrimental Rocket Ship To The
Moon;" "a Visit With One OF The
Editors Of National Geographic
Magazine In Which He Takes His
Honored Guests On A Converse
tional Tour OF An East Indian Vii
lage And During Which Time A
Block Party Happens To Be In
Progress" another - tersely -
