The Rabaut Bill, which

to urban renewal because Of
its failure in the District to
meet the criteria of making
sense, fairness, and freedom

Urban renewal should con-

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Conclusions of 'Broinwoshinq' Study
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

Almost anybody can be
made to confess to almost
anything.
This Is an essential con-
clusion from studies Of
"brainwashing" as prac-
ticed by enemy agents in
both World War II and
the Korean War-and also,
Of course. by tough American
police sergeants-carried out
under contracts with United
States Air Force once Of
Scientific Research.
BY the same techniques. a
preliminary report on the
investigations points out,
Russian state police have
produced confessions" with
great regularity. Most loyal
and idealistic party members
who happened to get in
somebody's political way
readily have confessed their
lives away. The various
means used to break men
down have been studied.
"Disordered brain func-
tion is indeed easily pro-
duced in any man." says a
report. mo amount of will
power can prevent it's occur
renee. 1t can be produced
without using physica
means--that is by fatigue or
sleep deprivation.
Since it may be associated
with mental clouding, con-
fusion, lack of discrimina-
tion, impaired Judgment
and increased suggestibility,
it is probably true that most
men can be brought to a
state in which they will
agree to statements that are
dubious, incomplete, or quite
inaccurate. Under these con-
ditionS some men will make
up entirely fictitious stories
discriminating themselves. 1t
usually is not difficult to
obtain signed confessions
that are biased, incomplete,
inaccurate or even totally
untrue"
Brainwashing Tricky
But at least so far as mil
itary operations are con-
cerned the situation is by nc
means rs bad as it seems
the report says. Most peo-
pie who are exposed to coer-
Give procedures" it con.
cludes, will talk and usually
they will reveal some infor.
nation that they would moi
have revealed otherwise
However. there is no evi.
dence that a man must al.
ways reveal a specific item
Of information that he pos.
SeSSes.
Disturbed brain function
Of the subject does not allow
the interrogation to abstract
information at will. He oc.
casionally may trick a dis
turbed man into revealing
bits Of information ne had
intended to conceal, but the
information SO revealed ID
likely to be limited, and in
tersperSed with unreliable
statements. ,..
'"If he elects to do so, 8
prisoner ! may endure to
death or disorganizatior
without revealing what he
knows. Very few, however
can hold themselves to such
rigorous behavior through ali
the viciSSitudes Of captivity"

The more strenuous the
measures used to secure COM
pliance Of o prisoner, the in
vestigators have found. the
less, generally speaking, the
likelihood Of getting worth
while information. Chances
may be best when q man Is
in an optimal state Of health
and well being.
ANY attempt to produce
compliant behavior" says the
report. "by procedures which
produce tissue damage, IA
tigue, sleep deprivation or
disturbing emotional states
carries with it the hazard of
producing inaccuracy and un-
, reliability.
However, it often is nee
essary for the interrogation
to question people who are
experiencing moderately Sc
we're effects Of illness, injury,
fatigue, discomfort or anxi-
ETY.. A body Of practical ex-
perience indicates that rela-
lively reliable information
can be obtained from such
persons If the information
sought is neither complex
nor extensive.
Questi0ner's Hazards
THE interrogator, however,
faces two special hazards
under these circumstances.
The subject may have a
fairly serious degree of men,
tai disturbance that is not
Immediately evident, and it
may escape the interrogator's
attention. Second, any in
formant in a threatening
situation is liable to say
whatever will please his cap
tors, even though he may not
do so Intentionally. These
ever-present hazards of in
terrogation are enhanced un-
der adverse circumstances"
The precise nature Of the
submissive behavior and the
facility with which it is pro-
duced, the report points out,
depends very greatly on the
personality and previous
training Of the prisoner.
"Unwillingness to give in
formation" says the report,
is q mental set. If it is
strongly imbedded in a man
before his capture 1t may
continue to govern one as
pect Of his behavior up to the
point of delirium or uncon-
sctousneSs, no matter what
symptoms he may develop.
Some persons - criminals
adhering to the code of the
underworld as well as prison.
ers Of war adhering to the
finest military traditions-do
not give information al
though they reach the point
OF disorganization or death.
The evidence suggests that a
learned reaction pattern, if
sufficiently reinforced can
govern a specific aspect Of
behavior so long as a man
retains the capacity to carry
out that behavior"
The investigation was car
rled out for the Air Force by
the Bureau Of Social Science
Research, a Washington Or
ganization with access to
military records. All available
material on the matter the
world over. however. was sur
veyed in compiling prelim-
mary reports.

BAD ACTORS REPAY KINDNESS
Trainer Hank Lowden
Displays Midas Touch
By BILL FUCHS
By q star SIAN Writer

Hank Lowden. who came into
the harness racing business as
a busted carpenter with ten
bucks, grin and a promise,
made 1t big and lived big and
now he's scraping bottom and
starting all over.
And don't bet he won't make
it. A short. roly-poly type with
an easy come, easy go"
philosophy, Lowden has a
stable at Rosecroft Raceway
that barely qualities as such.
His string" numbers two
Sunbonnet King and Zulu
Queen. But each has raced
twice, Sunbonnet King has a
victory in his fastest time and
neither has been out of the
money. 4
This is not bad for a guy
who made eating money in
Florida last winter as a $60-a-
week groom. But it's typical
for Lowden, who has the al
chemists touch for turning
the unwanted and the worthless
into gold.
The trouble is the likeable,
talkative young man who has
a fancy for jaunty caps, also
has a knack for reversing the
Midas process. He estimates his
horses earned 100000 over a
seven-year stretch. 1t didn't
take Lowden nearly that long to
put it back into circulation. A
generous nature and a pen
chant for big boats and fast
cars helped him.
Doesn't Want Big Stable
SOP" he says with a grin
Il never knew anybody that
took it with him. But I'm not
worried. I'll be back up there
again. I've got two good horses
and l Cont want a big stable
because / don't want to hire
help. l want to do it all my
self and then ! know what's
getting done"
AS his first step back up the
ladder, Lowden looked for a
bargain. He picked up Zulu
Queen for $350-he borrowed
the money-and Sunbonnet
King, well, he got him for
nothing.
Il was purchasing a colt for
another guy" Lowden says,

net King in, as sort of my COM
mission"
1t figures. Bargains on top
of bargains are in Lowden's
past. For example, he paid a

on impulse. with a deposit OF
$40. He had a check for that
amount in his pocket, payment
for his last job as a carpenter.
This was in December, 1916,
just after his discharge from
the SeabeeS. AS a carpenter in
business for himself, Lowden
went broke.
The horse that got him into
the business cost $500 and
Lowden had to borrow 81 400
of it. But that was Pastor
Hanover, considered a never
was" at the age of Z, but who
IN the next six years, as both
trotter and PAGER, was a fab
ulous creature.
Too Old to Race
Then he got too old to
race" Lowden says, no grin
showing now. "and 1 gave him
away to two little girls be-
cause their father had a big
place and ! knew he'd get a
nice home. He ate well in
winter, but in spring-in rae
ing season-he knew he was
supposed to race. He wouldn't
eat. He died of a broken
heart"
Tonight Lowden's grin will
be even bigger. His wife and
their 8-year-old twin daughters
will be joining him at Rose
croft. They are staying at
their home in Warsaw, Va,
and will join the happy-go-
lucky head of the household
when school is out.
