Memory Expert Meets

By WILLIAM EWALD
United Preu Stall Correspondent
NEW YORK (UP) - When Dr., tag their memories
Blunu r ursi reaus a parncuiarly
a
good novel, he makes a point of
rcmemoenng it, vord lor word,, so
he can read it over again in his
mind on long train rides.
Furst is an expert in memonics,
the science of memory.
Besides haviag a brain with a
built-in library, he can Hip through
a pack of cards and memorize their
sequence,, glance through a maga
zine and tell you later the page
number on which every ad and
article appears, or remember a
given list of 100 strange objects in
sequence, forward or backward.
He has been teaching and study
ing the processes of memory for 40
years and claims that in 10 easy
lessons he can limber up an aver
age memory so its owner can pick
telephone numbers, dates, names,
figures and facts off mental hooks
just like hats.
"The memory is like a muscle.
It has to be exercised. The more it
is exercised the better it works,"
he said.
A good many of the 30,000 stu
dents who have taken Furst's
memory course can almost equal
him in mental acrobatic?, but most
of them were interested in improv-
German Navy
Readies for Sea
BREMERHAVEN, Germany H
A West German navy will be able
to take to the seas 24 hours after
final ratification of the London re
armament agreement thanks to
the U. S. Navy.
It won't be much of a fleet at
first, only some mine sweepers,
tenders, oilers and small patrol
craft. Nevertheless it will be a
navy.
Under the London agreement, re
armed Germany would be limited
to 20,000 naval personnel. Warships
must be 3,000 tons or less.
There is no 3000-ton vessel for
the new navy available. But a fleet
of rebuilt German mine sweepers
now waits Tor ratification's X-day.
These ships have been operating
with German crews but under the
American flag for two years.
Readiness of West Germany to
step into its own sea role has been
made possible by a quiet program
instituted in 1952 by the U.S. Navy
and a handlul ot its oiticers.
HUBBARD PIE SOCIAL
HUBBARD The Mary-Martha
circle of the Hubbard Community
church is sponsoring the annual
autumn pie social at Fellowship
House Friday evening. Oct. 22.
Homemade pie will be served
with coffee or tea from 6:30 to
8:30 p.m.
for practical
reasons.
There was a, hotel manaeer who
enrolled because he had trouble re
numbering names and faces, an
electrical engineer who wanted to
memonie wiring diagrams, a busi
nessman who always wrote notes
to nimseit and forgot where he put
the notes, and an armv officer who
wanted to amaze his comrades bv
rattling off exact details of all
great battles of the past.
"There was even a burzlar at
Alcatrai who took my correspond
ence course," Furst said. "I don't
know, but maybe he had some
safe combinations he wanted to
remember.
The memory coach is especially
proud of a bedspread salesman
from Paterson, N.J., who is a
Furst alumnus, when his firm is
sued a catalog containing 73 new
designs the salesman memorized
the style number, price and page
number ot epen item.
When the new line was unveiled,
the salesman astounded his boss by I
giving a machine-gun recital of the
details like a tobacco auctioneer.
Other successful students have!
included an advertising solicitor '
who memorized the space rates of
seven New York newspapers and
uiree on Long Island, and a whole-.
sale drug official who stored in his
head the number of drugstores in;
every American city. i
I have found an unusual differ-1
ence between men and women
when it comes to memory," Furst
said. "Men are logical, women
imaginative. Men remember
numbers and dates best, while
women are better at remembering
faces, descriptions and colors."
However, there are exceptions.
New York police picked up a
woman on charges of bookmaking
not long ago and were surprised
when they couldn't find any betting
slips in her apartment.
"I don't make out any slips,"
she explained. "I keep them all in
my head. I took Dr. Furst's mem
ory course."
Autoisls Suffer
Bad Altitudes
CHICAGO III The average
motorist is suffering from a case
of bad attitudes, safety experts
were told Tuesday.
That diagnosis was made by Ave
members of the Cincinnati Psycho
logical Assn. at the National Safety
Congress.
The malady was defined by C.
T. Perin Jr. of. Miami (Ohio) Uni
versity as failure to "think safely
and let our actions be governed
by such thoughts."
Such thinking, he said, does not
require a high level of intelligence.
Just enough for the driver to un
derstand the rules of safety, real
ize their importance and apply
them.
Mrs. Betty B. Montgomery of the
Cincinnati Child Welfare Service
said high school courses in driving
should emphasize attitudes over
the teaching of mechanical skills.
She said the youngster who
learns to drive by imitiating his
friends "will almost always end up
as a daring, reckless speedster
