Accused ofthe crime, the suspect confessed.
In Louisiana state mental hospital, the

Doctorscredited the analysis thuncovering
signs of continued mental unbalance which
they had failed to detect by other means
In Rhode Island clinic specializing in
medical problems of the aged, graphology is
being used with almost unbelievable accura-
cy. Dr. Malford w. Thewlis, director of the
clinic, has found that patients handwriting
can show the presence of many physical and
mental disorders, thus making it easier to
distinguish between actual disease and the
normal weakening of old age.
Heading OF q Suicide
In BALTIMORE, neurologists at Johns
Hopkins Medical School and Hospital are
using samples of handwriting to find signs
of the kind of emotional strains that may
lead to alcoholism.
of graphology's value occurred few years
ago in California when physician clipped
a small, apparently innocuous portion of
letter written by patient and sent it to
Mrs. Isabelle Clark Swezy, a local grapholo-
gist. Mrs. Swezy replied by telegram:
Don't leave the girl who wrote that note
unattended. She is apt to commit suicide at
any moment" The very next day the girl
who had written the letter made an un-
successful suicide attempt.
One expert even found himself in the role
of prophet about that most unpredictable
of feelings - young love. He happened to
notice in young lady's note to suitor some
wavering strokes and suddenly reversed
slant to the letters - tell-tale signs of hesi-
fancy and insincerity. As matter of normal
professional policy - and out of hope that
he might be wrong - he kept his findings to
himself and merely waited to see what would
happen. Eventually another note arrived -
announcing to the young man that the lady
had somebody else in mind.

intentions from the dots on her 'i's, or that

These are the principal rea-

Eventually the issue must be

Mr.. Kennan, one of the best
qualified observers of Russian
affairs, was declared persona

last month after he popped of in
Berlin on the subject of personal
freedom behind the Iron Curtain.
The ambassadors grandfath-
er, George Kennan, was like
wise expelled from Russia by
the Czarist government in 1901,
while visiting with Count Toll
stoy. The Russians took UNI

Many Americans were sur
prised that the United States

But the strength of all these

It could grow, of course.
The movement to the right in

Germany, seven years after a
crushing defeat, is in a bar

the Germans have always had

Chancellor Adenauer was

haunting Germany. The hollow
echoes Of once familiar sounds
are reverberating through the
Quilted alleywayS Of German
towns. The clack Of jackboots

Verden and the hysterical ex-
hortations for revenge" In the
Bundestag in Bonn are being
heard with, diSmay by q world
which hoped it had drowned
the Nazi spirit in a rain of
bombs seven long years ago.
West Germans should be con-
ditioned to recognize very quick
ly the symptoms, and hence. the
danger in permitting neo-Nazis
to steal in through the back
door while the world is occu-
pied with the struggle between
communism and democracy. But
the humiliation Of seven years
of foreign occupation and the
division Of Germany into two
nations are two formidable ele-
ments that create a favorable
climate for cultivating neurotic
German nationaliSm.
The recent local and state
elections in West Germany that
moved some extreme rightists
and downright Nazis into Office
portends a trend away from the
present Bundestag coalition of
moderate Christian Democrats
and Free Democrats in the gen.
eral elections of 1858. The ques-
ton is how far will the trend go?
Refugee Porty
The steady growth of the
nationalistic Refugee Party in
the last few years is an excellent
gauge of the strength of ex-
treme nationalist sentiment in
Western Germany. This party,
originally founded to protect the
rights Of the millions of Ger
mans who poured into Western
Germany from the East after
the war, has become the haven
of rabblerousers, ex-Nazis and
now, Communists, who see in
this group possibilities to sabo-
tage German cooperation in
NATO. The Reds, of course, are
willing to join their worst
enemies if. by doing so. they can
reap a long-run benefit.
The Refugee Party has also
absorbed members of the old So
cialist Reich Party, which was so
blatantly Nazi that the Federal
Constitutional Court of Bonn
recently declared it illegal.

fact that the Conservatives

German Election

West Germany has variety
of political parties ranging from
Communist on the left to neo-
Nazi on the right. No party is
supported by. a majority of the
voters. The strongest party
nationally is a center group
the Christian Democrats. Its
leader. Konrad Adenauer. is
Chancellor of the Bonn govern
ment.
In local elections last week,
there were indications that the
German political spectrum was
moving slightly in both direc-
tionS away from center. The
Christian Democrats lost ground
in almost all districts. On the
left, the Social Democratic
Party gained support, emerging
in one district, North Rhine
Westphalia, as the most popular
party. Other leftist groups,
however, the Communists, the
Center Party and the Social
ist Party, lost proportionate
strength over previous elections.
On the right, the Nazi-like Free
Democrats and Refugee Party
made strong gains, but still re-
manned well behind the center.
The election would not signal
shift in power in the German
Parliament. The Christian
Democrats still had enough
strength to hold their coalition
government together. But the
elections were scattered strawS
in the wind. There was danger
that the extremist groups would
whittle away significant amounts
of center-group strength. And
it is the center that has sup
ported steps toward European
integration.

The Massacre

It is no longer mystery who
killed 10000 to $4,000 Polish Off
GERS and intellectuals in Katyn
Forest during World War II. Evil
dence presented to a special
House committee during the
past year proved to the satisfac-
ton of disinterested observers
that Russia was guilty.
But the committee, headed by
Representative Madden, Demo-
crat, of Indiana, says it is still
a mystery why the American
Government was so slow to rec
ognize Russian guilt. Specifi-
cally, the group wants to know
why Russia was not charged
formally with the crime during
the Nuremberg war-crime trails.
AS committee hearings con-
tinued last week, some of the
answers were made public. ST.
preme Court Justice jackson,
who presided at the Nuremberg
trials. told the group that no
conclusive evidence of Soviet
guilt was available during the
trials. Russia, he said. tried to
pin the crime on Germany but

American Navy lieutenant and
three sailors who had been
illegally arrested by local au-

call. The United States Gov
ernment refused. informing the
Brazilian diplomatic agent at
the same time that Wise, who
had earlier asked to be relieved,
would have his request granted.
