FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

BATTLE: In 1929, when Il
linois Senator Paul Douglas was
a professor of economics at
Chicago University, he was
asked to investigate the un-
orthodox manipulations of the
insult utilities empire.
Prof. Douglas, who lived in
peaceful anonymity on his
modest salary, suddenly found
himself in the limelight-the
target of abuse of every big
shot politician. stakeholder and
businessman in the State. He
found his path strewn with OBJ
stacles. Despite this he con-
tinued his investigation.
One day he had to go to the
State capital to protest a new
insult bond issue. He suddenly
realized that his only present.
able pair of pants was at the
cleaners, and the shop was
closed. He had to spend a good
part of the morning searching
for the owner and persuading
him to get the pants.
At the hearing Douglas met
with opposition, as usual, and
his arguments were ignored AS
he left the hearing room he
was boiling. Then suddenly he
saw himself in a mirror and he
broke into a laugh.
What are you doing here,
Douglass" he asked himself.
you've got only one decent
pair of pants to your name
and you're fighting the insult
empire"

LAW M THE NEWS
BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

Dispatches from Pennington,
N. j., recently told Of the
speedy acquittal" of a 52-year-
old geologist. Thomas Stoeltina.
who had been charged with
rape by a 15-year-old girl. The
girl had claimed the geologist
kept her a "love prisoner" for
months.
At the same time Mr.. Stoelt-
ing's lawyer, Jules B. st. Ger
main, said he was ready to file
a $250,00 civil damage suit
against the girls family.
Quite aside from any merits
or factors of this specific case.
it suggests certain aspects of
law which have considerable
interest for most people today.
A rape charge. for instance.
is subject to characteristics
which tend to be more or less
unique.
Seldom a Witness
One is that by its very nature
rape is a crime to which there
is almost never a witness. An
other is that, while it may re-
suit in slight physical damage
to its victim. it often carries an
extreme penalty, even death.
for the perpetrator. A third Us
that accusations of rape may
grow out of hysteria or delu-
sions, since they are so often
associated with psychological
disturbance of some magnitude.
For these reasons the law
tends to be especially strict in
insisting that all elements Of
the crime be completely clear
before it convicts.
There is another side to this
coin, however, that is often
overlooked by the public when
rape trials take place. That
is the nature and extent of the
damage which may result to
the person enormously charged
with rape.
Whether the accuser makes
the charges in all sincerity or
with definite malice, the &C.
cused - even though acquitted
- may suffer in his reputation,
his health, even his business.
Tables May Be Reversed
So if the accused man be-
lieves the charges were brought
against him solely to cause him
trouble or suffering, he may -
once he has been acquitted -
bring a suit of his own for
malicious prosecution.
A successful suit Of this kind
is normally based on these
essential elements: that the
prosecution for rape was begun
in malice, without probable
cause to believe it could sue
coed, and that it ended in
failure of the charges made

Is termed deep electrography."
and it is carried out by insert
ing electrodes deep into the

the skull.
Deep electrography has been
made possible by two impor-
tant developments. One is the

other new development that
helped bring deep electrog-

placing the electrodes precisely
where wanted inside the brain.
OF course, deep electro
graphy has been carried out so
far chiefly in laboratory ami
mails. But it has also been done
in q modest number Of hui

Deep electrography has al

For instance. the old adage
that we hear just what we want
