One sees with the ears as
well as the eyes.
Human seeing and hearing
are interdependent. One sees
better-or sometimes worse
to the accompaniment Of
noise or music. Seeing, in
fact, seems to be a function
of the entire nervous system
rather than Of the eyes alone.
Demonstration of this has
been a significant contribu-
ton of Soviet psychologists,
according to q report on the
present status of Russian
science Of the mind issued by
the Moscow Institute Of Psy-
chology, a translation Of
which has been issued by the
Commerce Department.
Visual functions" says the
report, depend not only on
the state Of the eye. its retina
and the light reacting sub
stances In 1t but also on
other sense organs such as
the ear or, In other words, on
the influence Of the whole
human organism acting
through the central nervous
system"
Russian experiments have
shown that sight acuity in
the discrimination of white
objects against a background
deteriorates under the influ-
ence of sound. whereas dis
elimination OF black objects
against a white background
improves, due to the influ-
ence Of the same sound.
Sound Effects Tested
It has been demonstrated.
according TO the report. that
during sound stimulation by
medium or loud noises. light
sensitivity Of the eye rods ap-
pears. as a rule, reduced. The
reduction may be quite con-
siderable and almost un-
doubtedly is due to the Sec
ondary sound stimulation. II
was found. however. that
while the sensitivity OF pc
ripheral vision may be re-
duced by sound. Immediately
following there is a period OF
greatly increased sensitivity
which may last for dozens Of
minutes.
The eyes level Of light sem
sitivity also may be changed
by smell, temperature, taste,
pain and touch. A change In
eye sensitivity produced by

ported. A change In the blood
content OF vessels effecting
the eye due 10 sound and
music is claimed.
A considerable reduction In
light sensitivity due TO pain
has been reported. Taste sem

experiments has altered the
electrical activity Of both eye

to that effect, and they con-
meet 1t up somehow with de-
segregation Of the public
schools. Whether the South
ern politicians are right or
wrong is not the point. The
important thing is that 1t is
this sort Of propaganda that
tends to discourage well-in-
tentioned white people (and
even some Negroes) from
lending their full support to
making the District Of Co.
lumbia a show place Of de-
mocracy and first-claSs citi-
zenship.
/ think 1t is high time for
the leading organizations of
the District to stop their
name-calling. blame-Shifting
and apologizing and join to-
gether in a united effort to
rid the city of this ugly blot.
I would like to see reli-
gious. civic and social organ
izations Of all races and creeds
join together in an all-out
anticrime crusade in the Ma
tion's Capital. / would like to
see public rallies, church
services and mass meetings
dedicated to the elimination
Of crime. I would like to see
both the white and Negro
press actively participate in
such a crusade. And, finally,
I would like TO see full CO.
operation between private
citizens and the police in a
sincere effort to apprehend
the guilty and to protect
the innocent.
! strongly believe that If
the Negro and white leader
ship Of the District joined to-
gether in such a crusade,
there would be a sharp re-
duction in crime on the city
streets and the Nations Cap
ital would be well on the way
toward becoming both a safe
place in which to live and a
model city of democracy.

1t is not our intention to belabor

Hearings On Mass Transit For
National Capital Area: This week
] testified before the House District
of Columbia Committee to urge
prompt legislative action to allevi-
ate the growing transportation prob

for improved transportation sys-

title is continually used over and
over again in the process and its
a wonder how the laughs keep get
ting bigger each time the too-hclp-
full phrase turns up. The play
/ sticks to the Williams emphasis
on sex, but the comedy situations
and happy ending are entirely dis
similar to his other writings.
The scene is Christmas Eve and
Isabel, an innocent new bride from
SweetWater. Texas, is temporarily
dumped by her alarmed and jittery
spouse, George Haverstick, in a
Spanish-type stuccO house in
habited by Ralph Bates. It seems
that their marriage has all been a
ghastly mistake. Bates. on the
other hand, has his own marital
problem. After five years his wife
daddy and he is thinking of sell
ing off the furniture and the knick-
knacks and taking off for Hong
Kong. There are dozens of small.
observant mockeries of the per-
picked human condition peppered
over three acts. but the characters
behave delightfully."- in the face of
their adversities. Even the fact
that the house is slowly collapsing
into subterranean cavern causes
just dab of concern.
This week we have the oppor-
tunity to sec scintillating pro-
duction of Period of Adjustment"
at the Garrett County Playhouse.
Not so far this year have the per-
formers fallen so ineXtricably into
the personalities of the characters
created by the Williams genius.
These are, beyond a shadow of
doubt, the best performances of
the season to date The pace of the
action nears perfection with re-
markably few slow spots. Neil
Flanagan and Helen Page Camp,
in the leading roles of Bates and
Isabel, deserve awards for a SUI
preme effort. Jim Hare is at his
best as the shaky George Haver-
stick. Fran Billings accomplishes
charming switch from vivacious
redhead to pigtailed, red-headed
pumpkin in dilapidated sneakers.
