Believe Sun Spots . * . • ,' a • - ' • *.”*. c.' •' ’ Mess Up Behavior

By DELOS SMITH DPI Science Editor ■ NEW YORK (UPD — Impressive massive statistics now support the idea that “sun spots" which periodically mess up the behavior of radios can also mess up the behavior of human beings. The idea is not nearly as far-fetched as it may sound. To appreciate its worth you have to realize that all ereatures with central nervous systems operate on self-generated electricity. It flows in direct currents, carrying nerve impulses. These power the built-in communications which permit people and other organisms to control themselves. Transmitting and receiving radios are similarly powered. Their impulses travel through the earth’s magnetic field, and so do those of' creatures. They have to—the creatures exist Seekina Removal Os Party Vice Chairman GARY, Ind.

within the field. Smooth-flowing ... Now, the earth’s magnetic field is, generally speaking, smooth-flowing. The smoother its flow the better are radio communications. But there are continual variations which coincide with day becoming night and vice versa. These are relatively minor, however. What really kicks up storms in the earth’s magnetic field are the cycling magnetic disturbances on the sun which result in “sun spots.” While these magnetic storms rage, radio communications are at their worst. Drs. Howard Friedman, Robert O. Becker and Charles H. Bachman of the State University of New York and Syracuse (N.Y.) University have been ' fascinated for some time by the possibility that magnetic storms can do no less to the interior communications of the human nervous system. The idea was not a new one. But no ’one has been able to give it scientifically acceptable . substance. They undertook doing that by comparing a statis- , tically measurable human pheI nomenon with a statistically ’ measurable phenomenon of the earth’s magnetic field. Varying Admissions Their human phenomenon, was the varying daily admission rates for seven central New York state psychiatric hospitals over a four-year period. Their magnetic phenomenon were daily variations in the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field over the same four years. TTiese. phenomena were translated into mathematical conceptions which made them comparable on a statistical basis, and the comparison revealed a high order of statistical signi-" ficance. That is, the greater the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field due to “sun spots” and other natural interference coming out of the cosmos, the higher the rate of psychiatric hospital admissions—as mathematically correlated.

Veteran Masons Are Honored At Dinner B. F. Shroyer and John Teeple, 50-year members of the Masonic lodge, and Elmer Chase, Thomas Burk, Clyde Harris, Earl Gass, and Don Jeffries, 25-year members. were honored by Decatur Lodge 571, F&AM Monday evening. Most worshipful grand master of the grand lodge of the state of Indiana, Judge Arthur A. Osborn of Marion, addressed a large crowd of Masons at the dinner. Robert S. Workinger, worshipful master of the local lodge, presided. Workinger was assisted by the present officers and several past masters from among the 18 past masters in attendance. Gold pins were presented Shroyer and Teeple by Judge Osborn, and silver pins were presented to the five 25-year members. Grand tyler William L. Fisher, of Marion; assisted the grand master with the awards, and D. H. Earrhart, of Marion, was guest of the club. The two 50-year members were also presented with Masonic Bibles from the lodge. Preceding the award ceremony, turkey dinners were served to almost 100 members by the ladies of the Eastern Star. Workinger presided at the banquet as master of ceremonies, and introduced the distinguished guests, past members and Rev. William G. Feller, who gave the invocation. Valparaiso Auto Branch Head Fired VALPARAISO, Ind. (UPD— Porter County Democratic chairman Maurice Mason implied today he was ousted as manager of the Valparaiso auto license branch for supporting Sen. Vance Hartke for renomination “despite Governor Welsh's opposition.’’ Mason revealed he was discharged effective Nov. 25 without being given “a reason for being replaced.” His successor is Mann Spitler, Jr. At Indianapolis, spokesmen for the Indiana Bureau di Motor Vehicles confirmed the change. At the same time, it was announced that the Chesterton license branch will be closed and a new branch opened in Portage. This drew a strong protest from_the Westchester Chamber of Commerce, which urged Chesterton residents to flood Welsh’s desk with letters and telegrams. Mason issued a statement on his firing in which he implied his discharge followed “lies and misinformations” distributed by his opponents. He said the elections Nov. 5 in Portage and Valparaiso “have shown clearly that the voters want no part of these traitors to the Democrat party.” “The governor has been gullible in this case and has beenr® fed a line of deceit and dqjuble talk,” Mason said. Welsh, in’Omaha for a Midwest Governors’ Conference, was unavailable for comment on the situation. Welsh’s executive assistant, Jack New, said however that the change of managers was fls&dex.*’for ‘thv best nntorests of« the motoring public and the Democratic Party.” He had no comment' on the Hartke support angle.

No Merger Os Girls' School, Women's Prison INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — A state inspection teariT’s' 'Suggestion that the Indiana Girls’ School and the Indiana Women’s Prison be merged into a single institution was quickly squelched Wednesday by State Correction Commissioner Arthur Campbell. Campbell said the merger suggested by inspectors from the Indiana Department of Administration would mean “the association of felons with youngsters as young as age 12.” The suggestion was a major feature of the 12th in a series of reports on inspections ov varous state institutions. Members of the team were Deputy Commissioner James Berg of the Department of Administration, Director Edwin Gibson of the department’s public works division and Director A. P. Bayt of the department’s supply division. They said that, in general, the Women’s Prison, located here,, “is" fii" good physical condition. Os all the penal institutions visited, this one -was in the best all-around condition. The only questionable area is one of economics.” Berg proposed an economic survey of the prison and the Girls’ School, a few miles west of here at Clermont. IT feel the cost of maintain»Tng an inmate in a small institution is too great,” Berg reported. « “By combining the two, we would need only one administration building, one hospital, one chapel, one powerhouse, one kitchen, one warehouse, one. freezer area, one school and one staff to man each of these He noted that the cost per day for the Women's Prison’s 130 inmates is about $5.75 per prisoner compared with $5.35 per day for mental patients who also get medicine and treatment in addition to maintenance. Berg said the combined population of the two institutions would be “only 500 persons.” He conceded there were “two negative factors” to the pro- . posal—combining young girls and adults and disposition of existing facilities at the prison.

For these two, and millions of Latin Americans like them, hunger, disease, inadequate shelter and clothing are away of life.

You can encourage and comfort them by bringing used, serviceable clothing, shoes and bedding to your nearest Catholic Church during the annual Catholic Bishops’ Thanksgiving Clothing Collection in November. This appeal aids the needy in 67 countries, without regard to race, color or creed.

He proposed selling the prison or turning it over to another agency and combining the two institutions on the more spacious grounds of the Girls’ School. Campbell said, however, that the institutions once were combined and “it did not work at that time; it will not work now.” , He said combining young girls and adult felons, including slayers, “would be defeating our purpose in every way. I realize and appreciate the fact that economy from the standpoint of doifars and cents would result if 'the .two institutions were combined we do not measure rehabilitation in terms of immediate expenditures.” To Hold Meetings On Interest Rate INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana AFL-CIO president Dallas Sells announced at a news conference today his organization will sponsor meetings at which banker Philip H. Willkie will speak on behalf of raising the savings interest rate in Indiana. Willkie, of Rushville, favors a one per cent increase in the present three per cent ceiling. He has been campaigning for months to get the State Board of Financial Institutions to boost,, the permissive ceiling. The current savings interest rate is the lowest in the nation. The federal ceiling is four per cent. Sells said the first meeting will be held Saturday at South Bend and the second Tuesday at Evansville. He said a number of meetings will be scheduled later this month and next month. One of the future meetings is to be Dec. 14 at Spring Mill State Park. Willkie, who shared the news conference with Sells, said “We are seeking a mandate from the people to increase the ceiling. He said he would urge people to write to Governor, Welsh and suggest that he replace one member of the financial institutions board to expedite the hike in interest rates.

1 pressure for an interpretation of the law as it applies to rnaterials used in new construction. He said this was an unfair situation but the department was required to follow the law as it understands it. The old gross income tax law as amended in 1937 provides that purchases by speculative builders are wholesale purchases. There is no sales tax when the builder sells the completed home because it is real estate, and real estate is exempt. But if a contractor enters into a contract with another individual to furnish all materials and labor to construct a building on the individual’s land, the materials are subject to the sales tax. .
