SpIit-Broined MONKEYS
Do 2 Things at Once

PASADENA, Calf, June 2
(AP) Ever try to do two
things at once? 'r'
1t can't be done if you're
human, but scientists at the
California Institute of Tech
nology have a roomful of
monkeys trained to. perform
two directly opposite tasks at
the same time. .
Their right hands literally
don't know what their left
hands are doing because their
brains have been cut in half
by surgery.
The monkeys actually have
two brains instead Of one. Nor
mally linked by bands of nerve
fibers, the two large lobes of
the brain comprising the cere-
brum are divided in a three
hour operation. Afterw ard,
each half operates independ-
emily and either can tell the
monkey what to do.
The man who developed the
surgical technique, DR.. Roger
w. Sperry, professor of psyche
biology, says:
1T is as if neither hemisphere
of the brain any longer had
any direct knowledge of what
the other is doing, nor any di-
rect memories of what has been
going on in the other hemi-

Over 40 Reds Killed
In Wet Nam Fighting

SAIGON, Wet Nam, June 2
CAP More than 140 Com
munists have been killed by
army troops and civil guards III
q series of clashes during the
past few days, the government
announced today.
High military sources said
there has been an increase in
the number of incidents involv-
ing Wet Cong terrorists in the
past two weeks. More are ex-
pected while the army carries
out a reorganization plan to
shift major troop units to the
embattled southern delta re-
gion and take the offensive.
The biggest battle reported
was a clash last Monday. Army
and civil guard units killed 81
in an encounter with two Wet
Cong companies at a delta vii
lage about SIS miles south of
here. Government forces were
said to be on a mopping up
operation around the village.

ince seven other Communist
gHerrillas were killed when Sc
curity forces surrounded a vii
lage house used for Wet Cong
meetings.

Both clashes gave a picture
of government troops on the
offensive. Three other major
clashes were also announced
today in which at least go reb-
els were reported killed. AS US
ual no government casualties
were disclosed
American military officials
say government offensive tao
tics such as ambushes are an
encouraging aspect of recent
fighting. Before it was usually
the Communists who laid the
arnbushes.
After a wave Of battalion
scale assaults of more than 400
men at a time before last
months presidential election,
the Red rebels have scaled
down the size-but not neces-
Sarily the frequency-of their
attacks. They now move in
smaller guerrilla company units
of about go to 100 men, officials
say.
Defense officials estimate the
Wet Cong are losing about 500
a month killed. Government
side casualties per month, both

aging between 300 and 500 a

Teamster Put
On Probation
In Hotel Case

Moss Herman, a New York
Teamster convicted here for
conspiring to obstruct a Sen
ate investigation of the Team
ster's Union, was placed on
probation today by District
Court Judge.
Judge Edward A. Tamm said
he could find nothing ito con-
vince me that (Herman) was
a key figure in the nefarieus
activities going on" at the
Woodner Hotel, where records
subpoenaed by the Senate
Labor RacketS Committee were
allegedly destroyed and altered.
Mr.. Herman was one of two
defendants convicted after a
six-week trial here. Mrs. Sally
Hucks, former chief telephone
operator at the Woodner, was
found guilty by jury of con-
Spiracy to obstruct the Senate
committee investigation and
found guilty of perjury before
the committee in 1859.
Testimony at the trial showed
that Mr.. Herman had asked
one of the operators in the
Woodner telephone room to
alter records of calls made by
TeamSter members from the
hotel.
But today Judge Tamm said
that, so far as he was con-
cerned, Mr.. Herman was moth
ing more than something be-
tween a messenger and q
flunky," in the case.
The judge then handed down
a jail sentence of one to three
years, but suspended the SEN
tence and placed Mr.. Herman
on probation for the five-year
period.
Judge Tamm earlier this
month sentenced Mrs. Hucks to
20 months to five years.
