Wealthy Scientist Claims
He Has Perfected Death Ray
By CAPEL McNASH
' CLEVELAND. Oct. 13. 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."
