However, all indications are
that compromise will be agreed
on between the House and Sem
ate whereby a modified postal
salary reclassification plan will
be approved by Congress and the
10 per cent pay raise figure for
classified and postal workers
trimmed to about 8 per cent.
Key Democrats Agreeable.
Key Democratic members Of
the Senate Civil Service Com
nittee privately say they are
agreeable to the postal salary
Redistribution feature as modi-
fled by the House Civil Service
Committee and would agree to
accept it in House-Senate con-
ference.
Meanwhile, Senator Carlson Of
Kansas, the top Republican mem
ber Of the Senate Civil Service
Committee. filed a minority re-
port on the 10 per cent postal
pay bill.
Senator Carlson said the meas
ure completely ignored President
Eisenhower's postal salary re-
classification request. The Kan
san declared that postal salary
reclaSsification was urgently
needed and indicated that he
would seek to restore the ad-
n1inistration's plan when the
Senate votes on the bill.
Postmaster General Summer
field also attacked the 10 per
cent postal measure. on the
grounds that it did not contain
salary Redistribution and that it
was too costly. The administra-
ton proposed an average 6.5 per
cent postal salary increase.

1t could be taken for granted he,

one side is diseased or injured,
it's functions can be transferred
to the other side. The operation
usually is performed on the dom

the seat of the trouble, leaving
intact the buried nuclei OF the
other half.
It would be strongly counter
indicated, DR.. Morris said, that
whatever was responsible for the
losses of memory was two-sided.
Then the victim probably would
be left with no memory percep-

ATLANTIC CITY, June g.
A new brain operation which
probes an apparently deeply
buried center of memory wa;
described to the American Medi-
cal Association here today.
DR.. Arthur A. Morris of the
staff of Doctors Hospital ir
Washington told of 80 such OPP
erations in which he went be-
meath the cortex of the tempors
lobe and removed three hidden
brain centers whose functions
hitherto have been unknown
the uncus. hypocampus and
amygdaloid nucleus.
The operations were per-
formed for psychomotor epilepsy
a weird disease characterized by
sometimes prolonged periods OF
complete forgetfulness during
which person may perform
absurd or even criminal acts
with no knowledge afterward of
what happened. One woman
patient, for example, stripped
naked in church one Sunday. An
other. normally highly honest,
became a thief during attacks.
Different Malady
This apparently is quite diff
ferent malady from the two bet
ter known types of epilepsy
grand NAL. with it's convulsive
seizures, and petit NAL. with its
brief intervals of unconscious
ness. It is accompanied. more
often than the other types. by
serious personality disorders
which sooner or later require
confinement in a mental hos
pital. These have been greatly
improved in many of DR.. Morris
patients.
Memory apparently is a highly
complicated brain function. 1t
has been recognized for some
time that it was associated in
some way with the temporal
lobes. generally the area of the
brain cortex just behind the ears,
and it has been possible to bring
about recall of supposedly long
