Navy Captains Fined
$50 Each for Takinq.
Liquor Into Virginia

Two Navy captains were fined
i $50 each in Arlington County
Court for Illegally carrying whisky
into Virginia. Nearly $500 worth
of spirits was confiscated.
Capt. George E. Peterson, 48
and Capt. Elmer r. Yeomans. 10,
both of 1925 North jefferson
street. Arlington, pleaded not
guilty before Judge Harry Thomas,
declaring that they "unwittinsly
and without any maliciousness or
intent" had bought the liquor in
Washington for a party.
Capt. Yeomans said he had been
in Arlington only two months,
having recently returned from
three years of sea duty.
Stopped Near Fort Myer.
The Navy officers were arrested
February II by Investigator M. K.
Bryant of the Virginia Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board. who told
the court he stopped their car ol.
Washington boulevard near Fort
Myer because he noticed it riding
low on the rear springs.
Mr. Bryant said when he ques-
toned Capt. Yeomans, the latter
fad1nitted having whisky in the
lear, showed him four cases on the
back seat and then opened the
rear trunk, where he found four
more cases -of whisky, a case Of
beer, a case of wine and a bottle
of bitters.
/ Capt. Yeomans said he thought
the fact that he was carrying the
whisky In daylight demonstrated
there was no maliciousness in
volyed.
Fine Is Minimum.
'I agree there was no mali
ciousness," said Judge Thomas
"but ! can't agree there was no in
tent to violate the law. I imagine
you know the law-at least you
are presumed to know it. I can't
see how you expected to get by
with all that"
Virginia law prohibits the
transportation of more than one
gallon of alcoholic beverages at
one time.
The fine imposed by Judge
Thomas is the minimum pre-
scribed by law, and he advised the
Navy officers that the. beverages
had to be conflscated.

"It is only natural" Mr.. Gres-

would agree with him.

the terms of the other eight
regents do not expire this year.

Einstein Measured in Brain Wave Study
BY The Assoeiated Press

BOSTON, Feb. 23.--Thinking
processes - especially those OF
geniuses-may be better under
stood through brain wave studies
under way here at Massachusetts
General Hospital.
Checks have been made of three
noted mathematicians, ,Profs.. AL
bert Einstein and j. Won Neu-
mann of the Institute for Ad-
vanced Studies in Princeton, N. j.,
and Prof. Norbert Wiener of
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology.
A new technique for recording
the base of the brain has widened
the scope of electromagnetic
graphic studies. It has been de-
veloped by Drs. Alexandra P,
Arellano z. of the medical school
Eof San Marcos University, Lima,
Peru, and P. D, MacLean.
Differ From Average.
DR.. Arellano is conducting the
research project as a fellow OF
the United States Public Health
Service. DR.. Robert S. Schwab
is director of the hospitals brain
wave laboratory.
+ Tests of brain wave electrical
potentials of the three geniuses-
taken while thinking and also
while at rest-generally showed
differences from the average.
In a report to the Eastern As
sociation of electromagnetic
graphers, DR.. Arello said the diff
ferences in these patterns may
suggest that there are different
scanning mechanisms' present in
the brain"
These various scanning mech
anisms and the ability to use
them properly, he said, may play
an important role in the patterns
of the process of thinking.
Similar to Radar.
Brightness and originality. Gre
ative and abstractive thinking
might be associated with--or IA
cilitated by-certain different
scanning mechanisms."
According to the theory. this
scanning mechanism switched
from one group of brain cells to
another during the thinking pro-
cess-much like a radar scanner
Very active brains-suc as
Prof. Einstein's while thinking Of
his theory Of relativfty. for ex-
ample-do this scanning very
rapidly.
This technique consists in plac-
ing electrodes closest to the So
called "old" brain regions, which
are involved in the mechanism OF
emotional expression. They prob
ably record the potentials which
come from those areas.
Light Thrown on Epilepsy.
Whether the studies will even
tually help in spotting geniuses
by checking brain wave patterns
is not known.
The technique is being used to
throw light on epilepsy, mainly
the so-called psychomotor seizure
It also has contributed to loca-
ton of certain LESSONS beneath the
brain, an area which the standard
technique didn't reach from the
outer Uranium.
It is being used in studying
certain psychosomatic conditions
such as migraine and ,hyperten-
sion. Psychosomatic conditions
are those in which emotional
factors play a great role In the
development Of the disease itself

beer in Montgomery County from

The measure also would author

Of Montgomery County, an
nounced a public hearing will be

Meanwhile, the House adopted

tutional amendment, to limit presi-
! dental terms to two.

The House also received the Re-
publican minority's congressional
rediStricting plan, while the Dem
ocratic redistricting proposal was
placed before the Senate.
: Senator Hyde's bill was re-
ouested by representatives of the
State Controllers Office. The
.contended the present syste -,
under which county retailers may
buy beer only from the Liquor
Board, cuts down consumption
and reduces State revenue.
They contended that, if private
wholesalers took over the author
sity they had before 1941, when the
present plan went into effect, beer
sales would go up and the county
would benefit because of increased
State refunds under the Sherbow
Laws.
S134,000 Estimated Income.
It has been estimated the county
receives about $134,000 annually
from its beer operations.
The only speaker against the
Constitutional amendment con-
corning presidential terms was
Delegate John ]. Nowakowski,
Democrat, of Baltimore.
A srtong defense of the resolu-
tion was voiced, however, by Dele
gate Leroy Pumphrey, Democrat,
OF Prince Georges County.
He also insisted the amendment
is not aimed at any one, since the
late President Roosevelt, who was
elected to four terms, was beyond
the pale Of anything and the in
cumbent President is specifically
exempted from its provisions.
Thirty-three States already have
ratified the amendment. Thirty
six are needed for it to become
law.
Both the Democratic and Re-
publican redistricting plans would
place Maryland's new-or 7th-
district in Baltimore. But the
Democrats, who control both
houses, would do it ny returning
to the city all of its precincts
now in the Sd District, and all
but nine of the ~ city precincts
now in the 5th District. The
remaining four Congressional dis
tricts would be left undisturbed.
Under the Republican plan.
first advanced by Montgomery
Delegate j. PAUL Marshall, the
I'd and 5th Districts would be
stripped of all their city precincts.
In addition, Howard County would
be transferred from the 5th to
the I'd District.
