Frustrotion Can Be FotoI
Sciences Academy Told

the late DR.. Walter B. Cannon
Of Harvard as due to the effects
on the adrenal glands of exces-
sive fear or rage without the
possibility of doing anything
about it. There was an excess
secretion of adrenalin, which
raised heart beat and blood pres
sure. With no action to relieve
these the rate finally became ex-
cessive and death followed.
DR.. Richter's experiments with
rats. he said show that death
is caused by quite opposite rea-
son-the effect Of helplessness on
the parasympathetic nervous sys-
tenn which affects the vagus
nerve, the brain nerve which
controls most of the voluntary
reactions Of the body, such as
digestion and heart rate. The
rate subjected to various sorts
Of hopeless situations, he said,
showed a constantly decreasing
heart rate until the heart
stopped altogether. There never

INTELLIGENCE OF
INFANT MONKEY

The intelligence" of a
human infant overtakes that
of a rhesus monkey on SIM
pie tests in about a year
and on complicated tests In
about two years.
This was reported to the
National Academy of Sci
ences here yesterday by DR..
Harry F. Harlow of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin who de-
scribed tests with infant
monkeys of a species which
he designated as IAN efficient

1t apparently is second in
these respects. below man
himself. only to the Chin
panzee, Or. Harlow said. The
great superiority of its in
telligence over most other
lower animals, Dr.. Harlow
said, lies In the fact that it
is activated largely by curl
osity and not merely by the
primitive instincts of hunger,
self-preseryation and sex.

Oficial claims that uranium
and hydrogen bomb explosions
are not damaging the heredity Of
the race were assailed as under
mining public confidence" before
the National Academy of Sci
ences here last night by DR.. Her
man j. Muller, Nobel prize genet
icist of Indiana University.
DR. Muller was one of the two
recipients Of the Kimber Genetics
award Of the academy.
There is apparently an effort
to pervert the findings Of genet
icists, DR.. Mueller said, among
groups which want some SCI
entific support for their own
ideas. Much stress has been
laid on reports that there are
few discernable heredity changes
among descendants of the heav-
lily irradiated survivors of Hiro-
shima and Nagasaki, ignoring
the fact that the scientists who
have conducted the examinations
and made the reports insisted
that no conclusions were possible.
$4,000 Mutations Each Blast
There were at least 10000 mu-
tations in human heredity from
each Of the bomb explosions, DR.
Muller said. and at least 80 per-
cent of them were harmful. At
least one will be found in every
descendant of the bombed peo-
pie but it probably cannot be
recognized. It will be passed on.
however, from generation to
generation and eventually prob
ably end in the extinction of
the line.
Each of the bomb explosions
in the Pacific, he stressed. has
also caused about 10000 muta-
tions among the American peo-
pie but, scattered among 165
millions. 1t will never be possible
to isolate them.
DR.. Muller attacked recent as
sertions that heavy exposure of
human beings to radiation
might even result in benefit to
their descendants.
Fruit Flies Cited
"This sort of thing" he said,
"has been found in fruit flies
irradiated heavily for genera
tions because. in fruit flies. it
is the usual thing for more than
100 young to die for every one
that survives. Thus the many
inheriting weakened heredity
tend to die out very quickly.
They can be replaced by the
rapid multiplication of the ex-
tremely rare beneficial muta-
tions.
"The Atomic Energy Commits
sion has recently stated that the
radiation received by the aver
age American from the Pacific
tests to date is only about as
much as is received from a chest
X-ray. Since there were 100
million people receiving this
H-bomb radiation, as compared
to 10000. who survived Hiro-
shima after getting 1000 times
this dose, there must have been
about as many mutations in
both areas.

tation Is an evil and we have no
right to dismiss it lightly. We

tinuance of the tests squarely on

From comments frequently In
my mail, 1t Is plain that many
people have the idea that there
is only one ''Webster's diction-
ary," and that Noah Webster
wrote 1t under some sort of di-
vine guidance.
Without going into the merits
or demerits Of any American die
tionary, and certainly without
championing the cause Of any
dictionary publishing house, ]
believe that it behooves me, as
a professional commentator or
all phases of our American Ian
guage, to bring to light q few
facts about dictionaries.
First OF all, there are many
so-called "Webster's" diction-
aries on the market: but Noah
Webster had no more to do with
writing or compiling them than
Fibber MCGEE.
Second, Noah Webster did
publish a small dictionary in
1906; and q larger two-volume
American Dictionary of the
English Language in 1928. But
that ends the matter as far as
Webster himself is concerned.
He died in 1843.

The opening lead was the SIX
Of clubs, the deuce was played
from dummy and Mr.. Dale won
with the king. Seeing no future
ia that suit he shifted to the jack
Of spades.
Mrs. Keen made a good guess
and played low, but Mrs. Fusty
made a better one and played
hi1e king anyway. Now il dummy's
ace won this trick, Mrs. Fusty
could win the first round Of
hearts and fire another spade,
clearing the suit while Mr.. Dale
still had the king Of hearts for
an entry.
If Mrs. Fusty had played the
Eve Of spades at trick two, her
king would have blocked the suit
later. As it was, Mrs. Keen let
the king Of spades win.
Very rarely is it winning pro-
sedure for the defenders to break
three suits for declarer. But in
this case it had to be done. Mrs.
Eusty realized that there was
now no future in the spade suit.
Il she led her last one, the five,
dummy's ace would win and it
appeared that Mrs. Keen would
have another stopper In the
queen. Mr.. Dale would need two
entries to establish his spades
and regain the lead and he
Mmply couldn't have them.
So she shifted to the queen Of 4
diamonds. Dummy's king won
and a small heart was returned.
Alert, as usual, Mr.. Dale went in
with the king and returned q
diamond. Mrs. Keen could only
hope for q miracle at this point
and she finessed the ten. Mrs.
Eusty won with the jack and
her ace Of hearts represented
