Probably the most revealing of Be Coles
many scientific gadgets is Darow Behavior
Research Photopolygaph. The idea origi-
mated with DR.. Chester Darrow, Chicago
research scientist. It's the kind of apparatus
which Be Cole dreamed about when he was in
the hospital.
Like the lie detector, it records emotions
both by respiration and blood pressure. In
addition it indicates various psychoneuroses,
normal tremors and toxic tremors due to
tobacco. lead alcohol and hyperthyroidism.

LESSONS or paresis and functional tremors due to
fear, hysteria, neurasthenia and other neu-
roses. Be Cole is hopeful that current re-
search with the apparatus conducted by DR..
Darrow and other scientists will develop a
technique which will lessen crime by early
detection of mental abnormality.
He also thinks that it will contribute
to mental health in general by indicating
the need for psychiatric or medical treat
ment in adequate time.

ruled yesterday in upholding a
trial magistrate conviction of two
Washington men accused of feec-

Judge Marbury in Upper Marl-

Euclid street NV. and Leonard E.
Coleman, 40, colored, of the 1900
block of California street NV. to
serve six months each in the

Eisenhower Speech
Criticized in Columbia
Student Newspaper
By the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-Columbis
University's student newspaper
has opened up with some caustic
comments about the university s
president, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
In an editorial yesterday, the
Columbia Daily Spectator leveled
its main fire at a speech Gen
Eisenhower made last week before
the st. Andrews Society at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
IF the speech was a trial bal
loon,' the newspaper said. I'VE
think public reaction will soon
hatten it."
The general, in the speech, said
he thought too much emphasis
was being placed on personal
security at the expense of indi-
vidual liberty. He was quoted as
saying that perhaps people wanted
champagne when they should have
hot dogs and beer.
Not on Waldorf Menu.
The student editorial COM
mented:
Being content with beer and
hot dogs has never been part of
the American tradition We know.
The one we know assures any
citizen that he may some day eat
champagne and caviar, and in
the White House at that. We
don't know, of course. but We are
willing to bet beer and hot dogs
weren't on the menu at the WAL
dorf-Astoria last Wednesday
night, either"
The editorial said, "We gather
the general believes the American
people are unduly obsessed with
a desire for security to the detri-
ment of their personal liberties "
The paper added that protection
from foreign aggressors lis only
one kind of security"
The American people have and
still do seek other securities" the
editorial said. For one thing,

Seven Marshall Plan
Nations May Have 10
Refund 80 Million
BY the Associoted Press

Failure to ship at least SO per
cent of certain Marshall Plan
goods on American-oWned ships
may cost seven Western European
countries as much as 100000
This was revealed following
two days of conferences between
top officials of the Economic Co
operation Administration and rep
Iresentatives of the nations con-
Icerned.
Involved are Great Britain,
France, the Netherlands, Belgium
Luxembourg, Sweden, Ireland and
Denmark.
1t appeared that the countries
might have to dig into their dol
lar reserves to make heavy re-
funds to the United States for
ocean freight costs on recovery
shipments.
Silent on Exact Amount.
ECA officials maintained an off,
cial silence on the dollar amount
and total tonnage of shipping in
volved.
The agency previously an
nounced, however. that it had
"disallowed' financing of 1896
tons of so-called liner cargo
shipped largely from this country
to Europe during the second quar-
ter-April through June-of this
year.
Merchant marine experts and
shipping officials familiar with the
situation reported that the figure
might reach 100000 tons, includ-
ing shipments made during the
July September quarter and in
October and November.
IF this is the case" one high
ranking shipping executive said,
"the figure will run at least $780,
900 600" s,
Refunds claimed by ECA result
from provisions of the European
Recovery Program, as passed by
Congress, which requires that
American-owned ships carry at
least half of all Marshall Plan
shipments. In cases where this

|BidauIt Plans 10 Seek
Showdown on French
Budget and Wage Bills
BY the Associated Press

| PARIS, Dec. 6-Premier Georges
Bidault prepared today for a
showdown with the restless par
ties who have men in his shaky
French cabinet.
The showdown will come when
the National Assembly, the lower
house of Parliament. fixes its
agenda for the coming weeks.
| Two important bills stalled in
committee are the focus of gen.
eral discomfort among the par
ties-the Socialists. Mr.. Bidault' s
Catholic Popular Republican
Movement, the moderate Radical
Socialists and independents.
Mr.. Bidault, it was reliably re-
ported, will seek urgent action on
the budget bill and a bill to un-
freeze wages and restore collec-
tive bargaining between labor and
management.
Should the committees balk. Mr.
Bidault may seek an Assembly de-
bate and ask vote of confidence
Informed opinion was that he
would have difficulty getting such
vote and would have to resign.
| A minister and an undersecre-
tary of state already have resigned
from Mr.. Bidault's cabinet, but re-
ports that three Independent
ministers would quit yesterday did
not materialize.
Informed parliamentary observ-
ers thought MI. Bidault's cabinet
would be able to muddle through
until January. barring new OBJ
stacles. although they believed it
would be impossible for him to get
the 1850 budget voted as whole.
The Radical Socialists are vio-
lently opposed to any big tax in
Fcreases. The budget calls for an
estimated ITO billion francs $780,
600, ,000) in new taxes.
Adding to Mr.. Bidault's trou-
bles, a group of probe Gaulle
deputies was circulating a petition
for signing by all deputies opposed
to heavier taxes.
The Assembly probably will fall
back on the formula of voting
enough money to keep the govern
ment functioning from one to
three months, and then vote more
money later.
The Socialists are harassins
Mr.. Bidault to obtain a quick pas
sage of the collective bargaining

gress meets next week and is

down applies to all types of ocear
cargoes-those carried on liners
bulk carriers and tankers.
ECA stated that the sever
countries-and all others receiv.
ing Marshall Plan aid-have more
than met their required commit
ments for shipping bulk anc
tanker cargoes.
Refunds are being asked, the
agency said, solely for liner cargo
shipments-such commodities as
industrial machinery and auto
mobiles, high-valued packaged
goods, foodstuffs and similar
processed or manufactured items.
Officials of the agency empha-
sized that no question of unlaW-
full dealings or breach of faith
is involved. They stressed the
belief that the situation arose
more through misunderstanding
of the $3.50 shipping requirement.
Arthur G. Syran. director of
ECA's Transportation Division,
reported complete cooperation on
the part of European officials to
find a solution.
The basis for the refunds is on
the difference between so per cent
of the cargoes shipped and those
actually carried by American YES
sells, Mr.. Syran said.
