OJ.B Deth "rays" may strike down millions of human beings if the European war continues, Dr. An 'tonion Longoria, wealthy Cleve land scientist and inventor, told the United Press this week. Dr. Longoria said he perfected a death-ray apparatus in 1933 and killed pigeons on the wing at four miles. Later he destroyed the machine because of its inherent danger. "It's quite possible that someone may stumble across the particular electric wave I used," said Dr, Longoria, who in 1038 sold a welding process described as "im possible" by others for a reputed $6,000,000. "I found It accidentally myself, and I certainly am not proud of that discovery. "The machine killed small ani mals and it could kill human be ings just as easily. The 'ray' lies in one of the unexplored fre quency bands in the vicinity of the x-ray. It kills painlessly, without burning, by changing the blood to a useless substance as light changes silver , salts in photography. Unpleasant Subject ' "But I don't like to talk about It, because it would wreck civi lization. I'll have nothing to do With it, My hands will be clean." Dr. Longoria first demonstrated his ray while working in Califor nia on a colored motion picture process which subsequently , he 9UJU lo ine jnuu&uy. ne luim ills apparatus to the top of a build ing there and demonstrated to a group of selected scientists it could kill rabbits even when the animals were encased in a thick walled aluminum case. ! Later, after he had returned to Cleveland, Dr. Longoria took a group of fellow-Inventors to the (op of his apartment-laboratory. I Giving them all field glasses, the doctor released several mark ed pigeons and directed the in ventors to watch them. He then prepared to give what he said would be his last demonstration of his fatal rays. "I waited until the pigeons were out of sight of the unaided eye," the Spanish scientist said. "Then I directed my apparatus toward the birds and caught one in the cross hairs of the tele scope which was aligned with the ray. It plummeted to We ground killed instantly. I killed the other birds the same way, and when the experiment was over took my apparatus apart. I could assemble such a machine again but I never shall. I have no draw ingsthe plans are in my head alone." SWISSHOME NEWS SWISSHOME, Oct. 13. (Spe cial) The Ladies' Missionary so ciety met with Mrs. Russell ims week. Those present were Mrs. w Mnri.llnrk.
