(Jetting back to the Australian, the hyppotist| in
question, one William J. Ousley, ;dkl perform a
lather mean feat. He faced a radio audience of
over 300 wide-eyed; people, and only two saw (the
finish of his progrann 'Tjhe rckt wore asleep. In
addition, telephony calls to the broadcasting Station
indicated (Ousley put some radio.listeners to pldep.
One (listener phoned in to* say his wife \|ms
standing at the window,, laughing and throwing (all
Iter hats out.
, This racket may haye something to it after
all. Think of all the joy that would be brought
into (he hearts of millions of husbands if their
wives .suddenly saw the lighl and began tossing
all the. cerebral paraphernalia that! is currently pass
ing for acceptable headgear out the wjindow.l i
Another listener, likewise hypnotized; thought
he was Charlies Boyer. Thj.* developments,'sijfys {the

Most hypnotized lisU|ners, howiCvw, were pwlak-
eiied when Ousley told them at the em| of jthe
broadcast ( to laugh at the mental picture of an
amusing hat, which, doubtless, wasn’t hard to |do.
The experiinent, Ousley told a repoiier, was
to encourage people to realize they can hypnotize
