trousseau," including one top hat.
The witness recalled that on the
eve Of his departure for China to
replace Ambassador Hurley he
was summoned to the State De-
partment to be told by then Un-

and was threatening delicate ne
gotiations between Chinese Ma

Gen. Wedemeyer said he told
Mr.. Acheson:
There are two factors that
don't like about it. One. don't
think that the Communists should
determine who should be ap-
pointed by our Government In po-
sitions Of responsibility. and two.

'Misbehovior Center in Brain
Studied by Research Team Here

There is a "misbehavior center"
in the brain.
Remarkable results from cutting

The area is at the front lower

suspected in the past with being

considered as a brain discontrol

cations through all mental life.
Natural Purpose Unknown.
Yet 1t apparently functions when
it is out Of order. It's natural
purpose remains completely un-
known. The chief value of the
new operation has been found in
the condition known as phycho-
motor epilepsy. which composes
from Is to 20 per cent of all
epilepsy and is by far the most
dreaded since it is accompanied by
a very rapid mental deterioration.
The operations to date have
brought such great improvement,
according to DR.. Morris exhibit,
that at least half can be consid-
cred completely cured. All patients
previously had been considered
from so to 100 per cent disabled,
and were rapidly getting worse.
