General As sembly. .' Owner -manager Love B. Woods of the Theresa Hotel, !The Waldorf-Astoria of Har lem," breathed a weary sigh Of relief when Castro checked out Wednesday and said the bearded revolutionary ought to look elsewhere for lodging When he returns here in about 10 days. i Castro and his party of 64 moved out of the Theresa with 300 pieces of luggage, part of a case of whiskey, wo containers of white mice, Several three-foot-high teddy bears, Castro's personal refrig erator and hot plate, and some chickens he never got around tp eating. Left behind in the 40 rooms he Cubans rented at $900 a day were cigar butts ground into the floors, rice, potatoes, onions, and part of a pump kin. 7 Woods said he wouldn't take Castro in again unless ordered to by the U.S. State Department. "Compulsorily, yes; volun tarily, no," Woods said. "This is the greatest country in the world and I don't agree with any guests who lambast our country." Woods thus joined another rjotelman, owner Edward Spatz of Manhattan's Shel burne Hotel, in slamming the door on the Castro party. ? Spatz' brush with Castro at Hie start of the Cuban's 10 day New York stay was so harrowing the hotelier had to retire to a hospital for treatment of his ulcer.

The new device, an elec tronic larynx, will be made available on a non-profit basis by Pacific Telephone - North west. It resembles a stream lined electric shaver, contour ed to fit the hand and design ed to be held against the out side of the throat while being operated. It transmits sound waves into the throat cavity replacing those normally pro duced by air passing over the vocal cords. Speech Produced Speech is produced by form ing words with the lips and tongue just as in normal con versation. Persons with speech handicaps have learned to use the instrument with a mini mum of training and difficul ty. The electronic larynx is pro duced in two models, one high-pitched to simulate the female voice and the other with a lower pitch for men. Both are provided with a finger control which enables the user to vary the pitch of his voice over a half-octave range in order to produce more natural inflections of speech and emphasis on words or phrases. Employs Transistors The device employs Bell transistors and is powered by self-contained mercury batte ries of a type obtainable at any radio store. Battery life ranges up to several months depending on the amount of use. The instrument was devel oped by Bell Telephone Labo ratories. Suggestions were contributed by medical au thorities, particularly the Na tional Hospital for Speech Dis orders, and by artificial lar ynx users themselves. It is made by Western Electric company, manufacturing and supply unit of,the Bell system. Manufacturing cost is $45 which also is the cost to the customer. Information regarding the new larynx may be obtained through the local Pacific Telephone-Northwest business of fice. It will be made available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

JE) Teachers' Traits Subject of Study By Californian Los Angeles-(Science Serv ice) - The significant person ality traits of teachers are probed in an eight-year study just published by the Ameri can Council on Education en- titled "Characteristics o f ; Teachers." I The author, David G. Ryans, j collected information on the j traits of 6,000 teachers in ! 1,700 elementary and second-1 ary schools while professor of J education at the University of i California, Los Angeles. j In one of the major studies, Ryans, who now heads the department of e d u c a tional psychology at the University of Texas, found that teachers who rated highly in their classroom performance, gen erally thought well of other people's behavior and motives. Interest in Literaturo They also showed strong in terest in literature and the arts, participated in school and outside activities, and considered themselves ambi tious and initiators. By contrast, teachers rated low were on the average more critical of others, emphasized exactness and "practical things," and preferred activi ties which did not involve close personal contact. Comparing the characteris tics of women and men teach ers in secondary schools, Ryans found that women tend ed to be more friendly, re sponsible, stimulat i n g and democratic, while the men were more stable emotional ly. Single teachers, both men and women, rated higher in responsible, business - like classroom behavior and verbal intelligence than their mar ried colleagues, but lower in emotional stability and stimu lating teaching. First Investigation Ryans' study is the first com prehensive investigation of teacher behavior. But, he warns, the results apply main ly to groups of teachers rather than individuals and must be taken with a large dose of caution. Whether a teacher is con sidered good or poor depends not only on his classroom be havior, Ryans insists, but also on the student's objectives and attitude, the expectations of the particular community, and on the grade level and subject matter taught. A 3 More Autopsies Needed for Study Of Heart Disease Chicago - (Science Service) - More autopsies should be performed if accurate studies are to be made of the causes of heart disease. Reporting a ten-year study in the Journal of the Ameri man Medical association, Drs. David M. Spain and Victoria A. Bradess, with Charles Mohr, all of Brooklyn, N.Y., emphasize the-importance of increased accuracy in studies being made of atherosclerotic heart disease. They reported findings on autopsies perform ed on 1,329 men and women over 30 years of age in West chester County, New York. Coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis) caused 91 per cent of the sudden deaths of 463 white men in Westchester county, who died within an hour after symptoms began. The study showed that only 52 per cent, or 32 of 66 white women died of this cause. Only 14 of 584 sudden deaths of persons on whom autopsies were perform ed were caused by cerebral hemorrhage. Depend on Definition The researchers show that in any community the relative frequency of the various causes of sudden death will depend on the definition of sudden death used by the physician. The proper interpretation of the cause of death in sud den, unexplained and unex pected fatalities in adults, they say, has assumed added significance in view of the many geographical, popula tion and other studies being made in connection with ath erosclerotic heart disease. In many cases, studies have to be discarded because no autopsies were performed. 3 $ e3' HUH J. C. Higgins .22 Cal.
