OREGON .Thursday; September 21 . i950 Violin Maker Claims to Know Masters' Secret " Chicago IP A small, Intense man who has given 30 years of his life in the attempt says he has discovered the violin secret of fhe ages. -. Edward Boeder claims he could turn out a violin equal in every way to those made by the old mas ters. Ha said his discovery will make a million for somebody, if not for himself. ' ' Roeder's sales talk is handicap ped by one fear: he doesn't want to mention the violins of Antdnio Stradivarius. VThere seems to be some sort of wo r s h I p involved with the Stradivarius,'1 he said. "If I said my violins were just as. good, then nobody wouid believe me. They'd think I was a faker." Restricts Claims So lest he scare off his pros pective customers, Roeder simply claims his violins rate among the world's best. He acknowledges, however, that the world's best in clude the fewer than 300 Strads known to be in existence, some of which are valued at up to $150, 000. The secret of Roeder's accom plishment is varnish. For hundreds of years, he said, violin makers have tried to dis cover what makes a violin great. "A great many suspected it was the varnish," Roeder said, "and for five years I experimented along those lines. Then I gave up. But a little later my son want ed me to varnish a cheap violin he had picked up. I got out my last batch of varnish it was in a bec-r glass and as soon as I applied It,; I. knew VI had. some thing." , -v.- He. refused to say If the beer glass had anything to do with his discovery but he resumed his experiments and now,. 25 years later, he Is ready to start selling. . Keeps Jf la Secret v Np violin is any better than its varnish, Roeder explained. An un varnished violin sounds, to a cer tain degree, like an old master's. But a violin must be varnished to protect It, and Its tone is influ enced with each sweep of the brush. Roeder thinks his varnish : Is the same as that of the mas ters. ' He won't say what goes Into It, but he said he used nothing that hadn't been tried before. The only difference, he. said, is that he knows how to mix rt, v - He keeps the formula in a safe ty deposit vault in a bank. It is in code. ' .- He, said he can't get it patented . because ,. if he did, '"Somebody would snap it 'right up and put a couple of drops of alcohol in it apd claim they had a different formula." - Roeder doesn't know if his vio lins will catch on with musicians, because "after all this is a very revolutionary thing.',' If they do find a good market, he thinks he will be a very rich man. "And if something happens to me in- the meantime," he Bald, "well, I guess somebody else will get rich. Nation's First Gas Chamber To be Scrapped By Robert Laxalt (United I'reaa Staff Correspondent) . Carson City, Nev. itP The nation's first lethal gas cham ber will be scrapped at the Ne vada state prison here this year. The small, single-chaired cham ber, built in 1923 after successful experiments with lethal hydro. cyanifl gas had been conducted by English scientists, will be re placed by .a modern - two-chair death house. A house cat became the first experimental victim of the Ne vada chamber late In 1923, and in Febr.uary of 1924, while, the capital punishment world looked . . on, a Chinese hatchet murderer, Gee John, was the first man to be executed by lethal gas. Method Copied The success and the painless. ness of the Nevada experiment paved the way for more lethal gas chambers throughout the na tlon. In the first years of the Ne vada chambers history, the ny. drocyanlc gas was pumped in from special tanks. In later years, however, the period ot con sciousness was shortened by gen crating the gas In a vat placed beneath the condemned s chair. Since that time, prison officials have followed a practice of at tachlng three, strings to pouches poised over the vat of conccn trated sulphuric acid. ' . lottery of Death One of the strings is attached to a pouch of marbles, the sec ond to a pouch of stones, and the third to pouch containing the cyanide pellets..
