Not long ago, Foringer sup.
piled an electrified chair and a
similar, dummy chair to Walter
Reed Army Hospital. Scientists
there were trying to determine
how responsibility would affect
the nervous system of a monkey.
One monkey could control an
electrical charge, repeated at
regular intervals, which produced
a mild shock to his companion.
If he failed to stop the charge,
the other monkey literally got a
hot,foot.
Gradually, the controlling mon
key realized this and the strain,

Rats, they learned, are color
blind. But pigeons have a far
greater color perceptivity than
man and so they are used in color
tests.

This fact has long been known
to scientists who test animals for
human-like behavior. And there's
a whole industry developing
around the rats and monkeys
similarity to us. It's called be-
havioral research and it's going
on right here in Montgomery
County.
The Foringer & Co., Inc, of
Rockville is one of the four or
five companies in America pro-
ducing electronic devices for
scientific study on the environ
mental likeness between man and
beast.
They build miniature chairs,
tanks and cages used in animal
research. The practice Of testing
animals for nervous response is
not new. Everybody has heard of
the Russian Pavlov and his dogs
that ate or salivated at the signal
of a bell.
But the method is new. Form
ger builds devices that allow
scientists to continue with other
work while automation takes over
the research.
Electronic brains
Attached to many of their de-
vices are electronic brains that
direct the kind of impulse re-
quired and calibrate the reaction
it produces on tape. Working with
a given programing, a scientist
therefore need only to interpret
the tape and not stand around

of RUDE Goldberg designs.
On every hand are contrivances
that, when jabbed, drop a sugar
coated pill into a cage; when
struck, produced a measure OF
grain, when pulled, dish up drink
ing water. Some are wired for
sound and others to project col
ored lights inside.
Foringer sells this mechanical
menagerie to hospitals, universe
ties and the United States Gov,
eminent, among other buyers. It's
a high-priced field-a test cham.
Der equipped with an electronic
testor-recorder costs upward Of
$4,000.
This mechanical method of test.
ing is a step toward automation
or toward a new field called cy-
bernetics = machines taking over
labor from man. The man who
operates Foringer would seem an
unlikely experimenter in this
field.
Studied English
Edwin Foringer, who lives in
Bethesda, doesn't have any me-
chanical or engineering degrees.
In fact, he is an English literature
graduate of Kalamazoo College,
Mich.
His first job after college was
installing telephones. He worked
his way up through communica-
tons and eventually wound up
with a machine shop. He's been
In his unusual business now for
IL years, two years in Rockville.
He used to be located in Bethesda.
Despite his lack of formal edu-
cation in the engineering field,
Foringer has read = and still
does extensively on mathematics
and physics.
He recommends that every stu
dent who hopes to go into the
world of democracy should first
be well grounded in the arts.
Foringer, a handsome grazing
man of 81 with a muStache, de-
signs and implements much of
the work done in his small fac

with power lathes, drill and punch

The shop also develops inven-

are an expanding set of shelves

This latter invention is a 10

cooperation you have given me over
the past years"
Many members of the Sussex
County Republican Committee don't
want Senator Johnson, chairman
since the late spring of 1853, to re-
sign. But if his resignation is ac-
cepted his successor is likely to be
Norman B. Baylis, of Lewes, chair
man of the Public Service Com
mission.
Senator Johnson, completing his
second consecutive term as a mem
Der of the Senate, was elected
chairman to succeed the late G.
Clifton Maull, ST., of Lewes.
The resignation of Senator John
son is expected to complete the
changes at this party level for the
campaign. Earlier this week, form
er Rep. Robert p Maclary, of New
port Pike, succeeded Ellwood s,
Leach, of Wilmington, as New Cas-
tie County chairman.
The Kent County Committee
leadership, invested now in former
Senator d. Deane Johnston of Do
yer, is expected to remain as is.
The only other change of note
pending is the election of chair
man for the Christiana Hundred
Republican Committee to succeed
Mr.. Maclary. Out front at the mo-
ment is Rodney M. Layton of Mt.
Cuba, who is president OF the Game
and Fish Commission. Also in line
is Senator Wilmer F. Williams of
Roselle.

past year. The entire program
showed much progress over pre-
vious years

member and hopes to have Field
Director by June.

than it ever has been with the year
ending with balance of S313.87

creased number of girls enrolled
added to the cost of the Council but
the finance committee has been able
TO meet promptly all obligations.

viding profit to the troops aad to
the Council where it is designated
for camping.
