QUESTION: Writes Jane H0f0Vec Of Have
lock, Iowa: do animals, such as The horse and
dor, think ~ We asked reporters Than and June
Robbins 10 find our 0bOuf me mental powers Of
the animal world. The rail led them TO the
astonishing story of animal exfr0-SeHSOry per-
cepfiOn. Here is their report:
ANSWER: Most dogs hate baths and will
take to their heels at the first Whit of cake Of
flea soap. Some animals learn to recognize the
meaning of the word bath itself or even its
spelling. But Bachelor Bill, cocker spaniel
we once owned, was more sensitive than that
We needed only to begin thinking about giving
that dog a bath and he'd vanish under the
front porch for the rest of the day. Was he
psychic? Could he read our minds?
Some experts readily explain it away by say
ing that the dog was responding to an uncon-
scious vocal tone or facial expression on the
part of the human who was bent on dog
washing. Perhaps so. Yet hundreds OF puz-
lied pet owners report far more uncanny per-
formances by so-called dumb beasts" every
year. A dog howIs miserably all night and next
morning the family learns that his absent
master is dead. A surplus cat, bundled In
sack, is hauled so miles out Of town and
dumped on lonely road = but is back on the
doorstep two days later. Other inexplicable
relationships between humans and animals =
such as the story of Beauty And The Beast"
on page 8-are reported. What strange power
is al work?
As related in recent THIS WEEK series,
many outstanding scientists and Investigators
now accept the idea that some human beings
can communicate with one another by telep-
athy and are able to acquire all kinds Of
mysterious information by means Of extra
sensory perception. There are classic reports
on record which seem to defy any other
explanation. Today the psychic abilities of
animals are the subject Of exciting new research
by parapsychologiSts = specialists in ESP.
Here are the cases they're studying:
I. The case Of PaderewsIki's parrot. The body
of evidence begins with the famous case Of
PadcrewSki's parrot. In his writings, the great
musician. who became premier Of Poland, said
that the birds harsh. scratchy voice grated on
his nerves, yet 'Cocky Roberts" was for many

years his devoted pet. Friends tell how the
bird would tap on the door of PaderewsH's
study with his beak, screening, This is
Cocky Roberts! Let me in!'
Years later, when the aging bird had been
given into the care of friend in Switzerland,
Paderewski, asleep in New York City hotel
room, heard the parrots voice in his dreams.
1t was screeching piteously, This is Cocky
Roberts! Let me in!' The musician awoke
with the conviction that his pet was dead Ten
days later he received letter saying that on

z. Sir HenVy's black retriever. Worth noting,
too, is a detailed report made by Sir Henry
Rider Haggard, British author of king
Solomon's Mines of dream he once expe-
rienced about his black retriever, Bob. He
saw the animal lying in water among thick
underbrush on the edge Of marsh. Next
morning the dog was missing. Greatly dis
turbed, the famous writer searched for four
days before he found the retriever's body,
exactly as he had seen it in his dream, beside

blow the lid of gossip-gather-
ing activities next week.
Howard Rushmore, former
Confidential editor, testified
yesterday about many of the
magazines story-gathering Sc
cretS.

actor Bruce Cabot's former
wife, Francesca de Scaffa. Miss
dc Scala, was indicted in the
case. She is in Mexico, but
Deputy District Attorney Will

Mr.. Rushmore testified Miss
de Scaffa told him and Con-
fldential's publisher, Robert
Harrison, that she had access
to practically every home in
Hollywood. had an almost I'M
limited number of friends and

formation for one story from q
young starlet because she tele-
phoned the girl from Mr.. Har-
riSon's New York Office to check
on an incident.
The former editor testified
that in an effort to get state
mentS from certain movie
stars. Mr.. Harrison instructed
Miss de Scaffa to have lunch
with them and record their con-
versations with an electronic
device strapped to her wrist.
Mr.. Rushmore named Los
Angeles Private Detective Bar
ney Ruditsky as another source
OF information.
Returns Monday
Mr.. Rushmore will be back
on the witness stand for cross
examination when the trial
resumes Monday morning.
Under cross-examination by
defense Attorney Arthur ].

HOME DECORATING
Classic Revival Seen
In Furnishing Trends

they need someone to set the
scene or the stage"
Far better, says Mr.. Greer,
to plan their home with pro-
fessional help on the inside
than to go into it with no
long-range plan in mind. buy
ing pieces at random and los
ing interest in them.
Mr.. Greer sees the tendency
more and more in the future
to the classic-modern with a
combination of periods in
decor.
las long as the pieces are
well-scaled. or happy in scale,
they don't necessarily have to
be all one period" he advises.
For the moment. Mr.. Greer
enviSions an end to the white
and gold period and more Of
the intense blues and greens
being used in home decora-
tion.
The warmer tones will be
more popular" he predicts"
such as a use of off-white
combined with cafe-au-lait,
into beige champagne tones
with warm peaches or Chinese
reds"
In dos and don'ts OF deco
rating. Mr.. Greer advises
against overlooking a room
with accessories Of the same
general shapes, such as too
many mirrors. brackets or
paintings.
Different shapes will give
variety and interest to the
walls" he points out" in con-
trast to using all rectangles or
oblongs which are the general
shapes of pictures and mir
rors."
Miss Reed declares the trend
in home decorating today is
toward personal identity rath-
er than the s'sterility" Of pres
ent styling.
Classic Revival
"The architectural trend to-
ward the traditional or classic
revival establishes the public
nostalgia for yesteryear's
grandeur" she says. This is
achieved in good interior de-
sign through the knowledge
able use Of bold pattern and
texture with the absence Of
demanding color"
She predicts traditional fur
niture will make a comeback"
in the form Of period inflp-
ence to key a setting in
combination with very func-
tional. comfortable. contempo-
rary furniture.
"The dachshund look or
lower Scale furniture" she
says. "is an outgrowth Of low
er ceilings and smaller room
areas" and will continue to be
popular"
She stresses the too casual
