" Nobody knew, however, un til recently, that the private life of Ferrer was dominated by a secret love. With Ferrer it was not a woman. It wag art. . - The fact is that the success ful actor, director and producer wanted all . his life to be a painter. , He was drawn since his early youth. He has made a few bril liant tries in painting, too. His other great gifts pulled him to ward the stage, however. In his hectic life, split up be tween Broadway and Holly wood, Ferrer does not have the leisure to set up his easel. He is lucky if he has time to do a few furtive pencil sketches. He did, however, in recent years two full size self-portraits. His friend, the photographer Alfredo Valente, knew about them. When the new school for social research organized the other day an exhibition of self portraits by some 30 well known artists, Valente succeed ed in inducing Ferrer to show one of his self-portraits. The artists were so thrilled by the presence of the work of such .a distinguished amateur that they asked Ferrer to in augurate the show with a lit tle speech. The actor-artist came and told about his secret dream and how he has been yearning to be an artist all the time. "I am still a bobby-soxer when it comes to famous ar tists," he said. "Whenever I see one of them, I follow him in the street. I watch how he walks and talks and what he wears. Art is my unhappy love." ' He was overcome with emo tion. There was still a nostal gic gleam in his eyes when somewhat later he drove off to ward the brilliant lights of Broadway, which beckoned from far through the night like uncounted beacons of fame.

The instrument, known as the beta scintillation counter, has diagnosed approximately 100 patients since it first was put into diagnostic use last Septem ber, said Dr. Thomas F.
