“MICROPHONE HYPNOSIS” APPRAISED BY “LIFE”
••Life” of June 7th, with two pages of pictures on the subject, has this to say of the “high-speed Radio Svengall, who wants to dehypnotlze Gerroany";
“Many people find that almost any radio program has a hypnotic effect on them. Inducing a deep slumberous trance. A couple of weeks ago the Blue Network took a step toward carrying this Involuntary hypnosis a little farther by helping Dr, Ralph Slater show that he could Intentionally hypnotize people over the radio. Dr, Slater’s main purpose was to demonstrate his unique method of wining the war,
“Ralph Slater Is a high-speed hypnotist who says that the Germans have been hypnotized into fighting this war by Hitler’s highpitched voice and microphone technique. As proof, he has photo¬ graphs which show Germans sitting around In a trance. Slater insists that he can dehypnotlze them by short-wave radio,
“To demonstrate. Slater sat some subjects In a New York City studio, went Into the control room where they could not see him and, by talking through a microphone, put them Into a trance. Then he came out and made them do the silly" things all hypnotists make their subjects do. Although the performance was not broadcast,
Slater said It showed that he could hypnotize people by radio. It did not show anything else. Slater thinks Hitler hypnotized Lind¬ bergh when he pinned the medal on the flier In 1938, But Goring pinned the medal on, not Hitler. Still Slater wants to broadcast to Germany and would also like to put on a domestic show, “

PATENTS ULTRA SHORT-WAVE GENERATOR
Fritz Ludl, of Baden, Switzerland, assigned by mesne assignments a patent for an ultra-high frequency generator to ’’Patelhold” Patentverwertungs & Elektro-Holdlng A. G, of Glarus, Switzerland* The device is an ultra short-wave generator, which can generate an electron beam In a partial vacuum. In It there is a modulator to subject the beam to high frequency potential variations and an inductor to produce ultra-high frequency alternating voltages.
The use to which the device is designed to be put was un¬ explained, Ultra short-wave generators, however, can be used In types of broadcasting, “atom-smashing” inductothermy and many other uses. Undoubtedly this latest development could be adapted to num¬ erous uses. The device received patent No. 2,323,613.
