Red Party Boss In Hungary On Skids Early Deposition Os Rakosi Is Predicted By RUTH MONTGOMERY WASHINGTON (INS) — CIA director Allen Dulles disclosed today that Matyas Rakosi—No. 1 boss of the Communist party in Red Hungary—is on the skids. The head of our bush-hush central intelligence agency revealed that Rakosi has fallen from favor With the Kremlin because of Ms “stooge" role with'the late Joseph Stalin. He predicted that Rakosi will shortly be deposed. 1 his action 'could mean a major upheaval in that (Russian' satellite country, inasmuch a* Rakosi now holds the Hungarian equivalent of Khrushchev’s top powerwielding job in the Soviet Union. tJulles, younger brother of secretary of state John Foster Dulles, is in a position to know. As chief of our highly secret cloak-and-dagger outfit, he has spies and counterspies throughout the civilised world. All of their reports cross Dulles’ desk. Rakosi, while. premier of Hungary in 1952, publicly described with glee the detailed history of bis technique in overthrowing the free government of Hungary. Boasting of the way he cut off first one anti-Communist leader and then another, he labeled it the "salami" technique. In other words, he cut away democracy just as you slice a sausage—piece by piece. Dulles said that, despite Ralosl’s sudden disfavor With the new Russian rulers, the technique be described in 1952 is that now being used by the Soviets to undermine our democratic institutions. Elaborating, he insisted that the junketeering smile boys—Bulganin and Khrushchev—have laid careful plans to infiltrate our free legislative systems and thereby take over our parliamentary government. The .sudden announcement this week of Soviet plans to cut Russian military strength by 1,200,000 men came as no surprise to Allen Dulles. His own espionage agents bad already tipped off the move. The action indicates to informed observers that Bulganin and Khrushchev, while deposing premier Malenkov last year for his attempt to give more creature comforts to the down-trodden Rua sians, are now preparing to ape his plans. Bible School Closes At Pleasant Mills The*dally vaeation*l®ile school at Pleasant Mills was closed with a program Sunday night at the Pleasant Mills Methodist church.

Inmates Os Prison Help Mental Tests Two Prisoners In . Louisiana Assist ONGQLA, La. (INS) — Two prison inmates who volunteered to help exploration of unknown regions of the mind told today how life looks on the far side of sanity. ‘ The two men, serving time at Louisiana state penitentiary at Angola, were the first humans in whom full symptoms of schizophrenia ever were induced. Schizophrenia, a mental illness involving loss of contact with reality and which accounts tor onefourth of all patients in U.S. hospitals today, was Induced in the two volunteers by injecting a substance taken from the blood of psychotic patients. Both men were examined thoroughly mentally and physically and found to be normal. They returned to normal when the injections wore off. The experiments are being conducted by Dr. Robert G. Heath, head of the department of psychiatry and neurology at the Tuland university school of medicine, and his associate, Dr. Byron L. Leach. The two scientists reported on the experiments last week at a meeting of the American psychiatric association in Chicago. "Both subjects developed a fullblown classical picture in every detail of schizophrenia." the doctors said. Today, in exclusive interviews with International News Servjce, the subjects described what they felt and saw while they were under the influence of the substance. Fred Couderc, 25, of Pittsburgh, serving the fourth year of a fouryear term for theft, described his symptoms this way: “Ordinarily, I am the type person who gets mad pretty easily. I am emotional. But that injection made me lose all my emotions. I knew what was going on, but I didn’t care about anything. “One of the doctors asked me about the wall, and I could tell him what, color it was and describe j it pretty 'good. But when he asked me about myself, 1 just couldn’t think. I drew a complete blank. “I am a smoker, but I lost all desire to smoke. Someone lit a cigaret and put it in my hand. It burned almost down to my finger, but I didn’t take a single drag. "In away, it was pleasant. I had no worries. No feeling. They couldn't make me mad at anything. When the injection started wearing off. it, went fasU l wanted a snfOke the minute it wore off and I felt completely normal.” Asked why he volunteered for the experiment, not knowing what might result, Couderc replied: “The main reason was that I

knew it would be an interesting experience. I figure it was worth the gamble. And I felt like I would bp doing some good." “Also," he added, “I see people and see how they act. I always wonder what makes them act the way they do. That is something 1 never knew. By taking this test. 1 figured I could find out and I did. 1 felt like another person entirely.” Joel Le Blanc, 34, of Chicago, a bespectacled intellectual with an avid Interest in science, experienced a different type of schizophrenia, Serving the second year of a three-year term for bad checks, he is normally an easygoing, hard-to-anger individual. He became violent after the injection. "I felt like I wanted to hurt people,” he said, “I wanted to pick up a chair and smash everybody in the room. "When the feeling of anger began forming. I learned that talking with someone helped. I asked Dr. Heath to talk with me. I wanted to control myself. But he wanted to see what my reaction would be, so he immediately shut up. "I sat in the chair shaking all over with anger, pounding my knees with my fists. Once, I jumped up, slammed Dr. Heath’s desk with my fists, and shouted, 'Damn it! Talk to me!" "Suddenly, I said to myself, 'This isn’t you. This isn’t right.’ Soon the injection began wearing off. In q few moments my anger left. I felt normal and have felt normal ever BinOe.” The experiments are being conducted to study the concept that mental illness is associated with specific physoiologlckl and chemical causes. Further tests are scheduled at Angola, and although the prisoners receive no compensation, many have asked to participate.
