Mystic Brain Powers
A large number of Americans are interested
in what have come to be known as psychic
phenomena.
These are the various inexplicable happen
ings which indicate that the human mind has
powers far beyond the realm of those now gen
erally acknowledged. They include such things
as mental telepathy (the
directly with one or more
mind, without speech or
(the ability to forecast what will happen); tele
kinesis (the ability to move physical objects with
"mind power"); clairvoyance (the power to dis
cern objects not physically present), and several
others.
These "powers of the mind" have been a mat
ter for speculation for centuries.
IN THE middle ages, they usually were ascribed
to witches and wizards, or other super-human
beings. With the rise of science, however, they
were laughed out of respectability, almost wholly
because they are not susceptible to the objective
tests of scientific measurement.
Very few reputable scientists will today ad
mit (openly, at any rate) there is even a remote
chance there is anything to such phenomena. But
this has not discouraged a rather large group of
persons. These range all the way from the char
latans, who are not above lifting an easy buck
from a sucker around a "medium's" table, to
serious students such as Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke
University, who has spent many years studying
"parapsychology."
It also includes those who have, themselves,
experienced some event explainable only in
psychic terms.

"There are more things in heaven and earth.
Horatio,
"Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

A recent issue of The Insider's Newsletter,
a publication of the Cowles organization, reports
that Soviet scientist not only accept mental
telepathy as a fact, but say mind-to-mind com
munications between humans may be common

"The combined action of a number of radiation
waves from the brain center during the thinking pro
cess is capable of creating corresponding signals in
the brain centers of a second person. There Is a pos
sibility of creating a device which would nmplfy
these brain waves . . . The scientists also predict that

Brain Twistei
We don't know how many people worked
or TRIED to work the brain twister puzzle in
logic which appeared in this space hist Friday.
But judging by the evidence of frustrated phone
calls and comments, it must have been a lot.
One family reportedly started to solve it at
p.m. "and do it before dinner" and at
7:IH) p.m. still hadn't arrived at the correct an-
SWp
or sat down to dinner, either.
One young man worked on it for an hour or
so Friday evening, almost solved it, but found ,
an errortn his figuring. He started again Satur -
day morning, using a new approach, and finally
came -up -with the right answer.

Busy-Body
To the Editor: I've been
reading E. Dyke's article
about a busy-body. He states
that such a person has a
tender conscience and is fre
quently tormented.
I wonder how he came to
know that? Ouch! I think ev
eryone should have a tender
conscience; 'twould keep us
from getting into mischief.
I say "us'' because well -f
am a busy-body and prone
to judge others by myself.
There'rc two kinds of busy
bodies; those who open let
ters, listen in on party lines
and question things that
shouldn't concern them. Those
lire just plain meddlers.
Now the kind I like never

Ideologies
To the Editor. So many
terms are being used today to
designate differing govern
mental ideologies that confu
sion ensues.
Mr. Clarence Manion on his
Forum program recently gave
an explanation which clari
fied my understanding, I will
try to reproduce his thought.
Imagine a state of anarchy
where I here is no govern
ment power, a place of com
plete political disorder. Mere
every man is for himself. This
complete absence of govern
mental power is the extreme
right of governmental ide
ology.
Next imagine a place where j
the extreme left is reached.
Here we find the maximum I
application of governmental
power. Whereas at the right
there were no governmental
restrictions of any kind upon j
any man. at the extreme left
government is all powerful
and the individual its slave, j
Hre. man can own nothing, j
He is told what to do and
where to do it. He can not
