SPEECH POWER IS LINKED WITH USAGEOF HAND Brain Function Depends on Manual Development, Scientist Says. By Science Service NEW YORK, May I.—'The right or left-handedness of a child gives a key to which is the master half of the brain controlling the development of the all-important language abilities, according to Dr. Samuel T. Orton of Columbia University. Although cither side of the brain is capable of assuming charge of the language abilities in an individual, only one side ever actually engages in this task, Dr. Orton said. The other side is either useless or at least unused. And the active side of the brain is always the side opposite to the individual’s master hand. The whole control of speech, reading and writing, and hence practically all communication of an individual with his fellow men is concentrated in this one side of the brain. No Superiority at Birth The baby at birth starts life with no superiority of either hand or, as far as can be determined, of either side of the brain. He does have an hereditary tendency toward the development of superiority of one or the other side, Dr. Orton indicated. "The brain centers which control the language faculty are not open to the influence of training, but the handedness of an individual is,” he said. Usually the training is toward use of the right hand because most adults are right-handed, and also because of a prejudice against left-handedness as revealed in such words as ‘sinister’ and the French ‘gauche.’ ” Dr. Orton has found only three cases where right-handed children were trained to use the left hand. Efforts With Boys Fail "In one, the mother herself became confused in facing the child across the table as to which was the child’s right hand, and consistently taught the youngster to use the left, under the impression that she was training the child as a right-hander. ‘‘The other two cases were those of boys trained on the left side by their fathers in the effort to make baseball pitchers of them. Both efforts failed.’” Failure of either side of the brain to assume dominance may lead to

language difficulties in the children, Dr. Orton indicated. He said: “The existence of a series of intergrades between right and left side preferences in handedness, eyedness and footedness implies that comparable intergrading may exist between the two hemispheres of the brain in those areas which control language, thus giving rise to developmental disorders. The striking concurrence of left-handedness, of motor intergrading and of various types of language disorders in certain family stocks, strongly supports this assumption.”’

DELEGATE FIGHT BRINGS SPLIT IN ALABAMA POLL Protest to 'Hand Picking' Is Apparent in Returns of Primary. By United Press BIRMINGHAM, May 6.-J-A sharp split over the "handpicking” of delegates pledged to President Roosevelt was evident today in returns from the Alabama biennial Democratic primary. The President's name was tha only one on the ballot yesterday and the selection of delegates by the state Democratic executive committee assured him of the state’s 22 votes at the Philadelphia convention. But an apparent protest against the “handpicked” delegates was registered when Leon McCord, incumbent national committeeman, who fought the issue vainly up to the state Supreme Court, was given a sizable majority over Matt Murphy, administration candidate. The vote was 32,870 to 15,314. Senator John Bankhead, veteran author of farm legislation, ran approximately 4 to 1 ahead of Henry L. Anderton, Birmingham attorney, with two-thirds of the counties tabulated. Incumbent congressmen in seven other districts also were rolling up leads although it appeared that Rep. George Huddleston, anti-New Dealer, would have to participate in a run-off vote. Huddleston was leading the closest of his five opponents, Luther Patrick, young attorney, 8702 to 6159. Rep. William Bankhead, Roosevelt Administration leader in the House, was 4 to 1 ahead in his district.
