LINDY KIDNAP CASE STARTS DREAM STUDY Hundreds Report ‘Locating’ Missing Child in Their ‘Sleep Visions.’ BY HENRY MINOTT L'nlttd Press Staff Correspondent CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 19. The Lindbergh baby kidnaping case may throw light on the mysteries of mental telepathy, through an elaborate dream study undertaken by the Harvard psychological clinic. From forty-four states and Canada, within the last four days have come reports on 500 dreams inspired by the sensational abduction, and Dr. Henry A. Murray, head of the clinic, told the United Press today he believed analysis of these contributions may reveal valuable new data concerning unconscious mental processes. Though many of the dream reports stated more or less definitely the supposed “whereabouts” of the I stolen baby. Dr. Murray emphasized j that the clinic did not hope to i locate him through its researches. Dreams Mexicans Have Child Here’s a sample of the dream letters received, this one coming from a Pittsburgh woman: “Tuesday, March 8, I dreamed I saw a lot of Mexicans sitting on long benches. They had hats on, vests and had handkerchiefs around their necks, sitting with their backs to me. It was out west. The baby was on the floor. The men were talking so loud that, it wakened me.” Dr. Murray explained that, the clinic had chosen the Lindbergh case in order to obtain reports of a large number of dreams on the same subject. By this means, he said, dreaming could be studied as a phenomenon of social psychology. “Dreams are psychic events,” he said, “but since they are not willed consciously or constructed consciously, they usually are classified in modem psychology among the manifestations of unconscious mental processes. Accordingly, the reports which the clinic is collecting may be taken as the unconscious responses of r large number of people to one given situation—namely, the newspaper accounts of the kidnaping. Few States Missed Pointing out that dreim reports had come from every state in the Union except Delaware, Mississippi, Texas and North Dakota, Dr. Murray asked: “Is there no unconscious mental activity in these states?” The contributors thus far have varied in age from 8 to 81 years, the dreams of children being among the most interesting. “There have been comparatively few dreams from men,” said Dr. Murray. “Is this because men have not dreamed about this event? Or is it because they consider themselves too busy to write detailed accounts of their dreams?” Few reports have been received from unmarried women or from childless married women.

SPRING'S ENTRY SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY AT 1:45 Old Sol Will Turn North, but Cold Weather May Not Be Ended. Winter of 1931-32 with its fickle weather and economic bugaboos soon will be history, officially. For Sunday, Old Sol. dictator of seasons, will be directly over the equator on his path northward, heralding the beginning of springtime. To the meterologist, this event is the vernal equinox, but to the layman it marks the end of a winter, now famous for Its unusual weather. At exactly 1:45 Sunday afternoon the sun will start moving northward from the equator, and day by day will draw nearer until directly overhead in summer. In all probability, the season of green grass and budding flowers will be heralded with cloudy skies and moderate temperatures, not unlike the weather of winter months just past. Weather prophets old and young hesitate to predict what lies ahead. If past records of the weather bureau are a basis for guesses, winter’s most vicious blow yet may be felt, although the average guess would relegate frigid weather to the past. The season just ending has been phenomenal, according to weather bureau officials. Temperatures throughc*t the winter averaged from 8 to 10 degrees above normal, with only three major snowfalls recorded. These were on Thanksgiving, then in December, then last week, when the coldest weather of the season was recorded. The mercury dropped to 4.5 degrees above zero, coldest in the city for fifteen months.
