Brain Radios Could Enslave Whole Nations CHICAGO (UP) An electronics engineer has forecast the day when whole nations might be en slaved by tiny radios planted into the 'brains of infants to prevent them, from thinking as individuals. Curtis R. Schafer, project engi neer for .the Nordcn-Ketay Corp. of Milford. Conn., said Wednesday research in the science of "bio- control" has shown that the con' version of human beings Into electronically controlled robots is possible. , Schafer, addressing the national electronics conference, defined biocontrol as "the control of the physical movements, mental pro cesses, emotional reactions and apparent sensory perceptions of the higher forms of animal life (including man) by means of bio electric signals which are trans mitted and injected into the cen tral nervous system of the sub ject." Schafer said Individuals could be turned into robots by mount ing a socket under the scalps of subjects with electrodes reaching into vital areas of the brain and lattr. plugging in a miniature ra dio receiver and antenna. "From then on," he said, "the subject would be unable to think as an Individual." i ' wjrtfe-UM..il "wan- I fom 1 y I M. !

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We have no children of our own. Each time parents bring little children to visit us, the living room be comes a shambles within minutes. May I request that shoes come off before the sofa is walked on, or must I watch my new slipcov ers being ruined? Mother comes unprepared for naps no rubber sheet or portable fence so tho bedroom suffers, loo. Where can f draw the line botwecn courtesy and necessary restriction? P.S. mmrm DEAK P.S.: Tread carefully, or you'll lie tnougnt f i'S" & as housekeeper who hns no regard for any r txJV'Jthing but her furnishings. Hospitality should ex tend to cmiurcn, as wen as parents, wny not cio a bit of preparing for the potential house-wreckers? Get a supply of coloring books, crayons, cut outs, trucks and dolls. Park the youngsters, in the kitchen with these amusements, and I tlouht if there will be further trouble with them. As for the J naps provide the sheets and a fence. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My girl friend and I plan J to run away. I'm fed up with things at home, cs ncciallv mv vnuneer sister. I'm always hlamed for what she does. 1 have taken commercial subjects at high school and know 1 could get a job as secretary. Could you give me some suggestions. Mary Anne DEAR MARY ANNE: I have a one-word suggestion don't! The world is a pretty lonely place for a 16-year-old who's away from her family. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I hate arguments, and consequently find myself agreeing with people whether or not 1 share their opinions. How can I cultivate independent thinking? Juanita DEAR JUANITA: Perhaps you don't read, or think, enough to hive thoughts of your own. Try to get into a discussion group; there's no better way to promote thinking and you'll be expected to voice your own opinions. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We are two high school freshmen. There Is going to be a get-together dance at school, and we invited two boys from our grade. They said they had a Softball game on that night, but we have learned there isn't any game. Confused Pals DEAR CONFUSED PALS: Tho boys probably thought they had hit on a tactful way of refusing your invilation. Perhaps thev can't dance, or they're shy. or maybe they just haven't gotten around to Jirls yet. Don't hold it against the boys; go after other partners or the dance. gion was the scene of an energet ic search for uranium, and roads leading to the area were con gested with traffic. Coil veins in the locality have been known since 1870 but no commercial at tempt to exploit them was made until more recent times. Possibly, coal from the Man- drones mine is not of a quality best suited for combustion, but the ancient deposit of decom posed vegetation varying in thick ness from 10 to 15 feet is a nat ural humus compressed by nature through geologic ages. Eleven feet of vegetation has been com pressed into a single foot of humus during some millions of years of decomposition. At the Lowes-Mandrones plant with a Molalla address, humus is excavated from a tunnel extend ing 1000 feet into a mountain, dried, ground and packaged for use by gardeners. The product finds wide use in the Bay area of California, where soils are bene fitted by its application. The product is also said to servo as a source oi energy lor bacteria and other soil organisms needed to convert organic matter into mineral salts upon which plants feed directly. Lately the firm has installed machinery for the manufacture of briquets, which they will distrib ute in California and locally if a market for the coal product can be developed.

Kennedy, a man the col lege girl thinks is "better than Elvis Presley," rallied to the sup port of the democratic ticket here last night. But before the ycthful Massa chusetts senator arrived, he slirred up something of an uproar at Louisville's Ursulinc College. The girls swarmed around his car. squealing and screaming, "you're better than Elvis Pres ley." Kennedy, unperturbed, arrived here to criticiie President Eisen hower's speech at Lexington last Monday. He told a Democratic rally "one could not help but admire that speech it sounded good; it read good; it had all the right phrases about peace and progress and prosperity , . ." But, he continued, "I would ask the voters of Kentucky to ask themselves one question: "How does It square with the facts?" Stuffed Eagle Bluffs Pigeons COLUMBUS, Ohio JP Old Bakty" is a bluff, but a very ef fective bluff. The pigeons at Memorial Hall slay away from him like poison. They don't care if he is only a stuffed American eagle. Stuffed or not, Old Ilaldy is not exactly wings spread and a fierce glare in his steely eyes. Altcndants put Old Baldy on the front of the building when the pi goons wore claiming it for their own. The bird had been in retire ment for years, possibly since Civil War days. "He's doing a good job," said a janitor. "When the pigeons see him, they don't land. If they land belore they see him, they take off like Jots." MANHOLE COVERS STOLEN DETROIT (VPi-Olficers James Parcella and Roger Rarthlow ar rested two men Thursday for stealing Iron manhole covers. He probably doesn't look much like the man next door. He does his arithmetic with the aid of a centuries-old gadget called the abacus, and he writes the results in characters that would be quite undecipherable to you . . . yet you probably have far more in common with him than you'd ever dream. Like you, he wants peace. Like you, he wants a good future for his children, and he wants them to have more than he has had. Like you, he has experienced happiness and sorrow, love and disillusionment. Like you, he prays. On World Wide Communion Sunday, he will be going to Church and, though this may seem a bit odd to you, he will be praying for you. Yes . . . for you, and for everyone else in the world, friend or enemy. Why not join him? Why not, on World Wide Communion Sun day, go to your own church and include him . . . him and everyone else ... in your prayers. Pray for peace, too. Remember, the power of prayer is a won derful thing . . . especially when it is given many voices. ttffi CHTJRCH FOR ALL .
