, When asked about the preside

that “Washington politics is, !:
Texas weather.*? As for Eisenhow

^Tke" was sincere in his statement
that he l}ad no ! presidential ambi-j
tions. He| also said that Stassen
and Senator Vandenberg were the
most likely Republican candidates.
To the ^question, “Sfoouldn’t | the

replieq that

• marital life, not only the super-
iJj ficial things.
Commenting on Dr.: Leivmann’s
book “Peace of Mind,” he said that
the book was in itself only an out
line to be followed for mental and
physical health.
In relation to psyehosoniatiC
medicine, fDn Todd had this to say,
“I am glad j to see. pSychosoirla^ic
medicine, because it is finally tjorti-
ir>g around to the Christian Science
wpy iOf seeing things. The best
fprmOla for mentaThygiene lies in
the Psalm ‘Why Art Thou Cast

: “A former student who had join-
]e< he jaip forces once wrote me,

fhot I: only one of fifty ever

jPkalm, in my opinion the
tekt Insurance policy, in the
d: ijodiay, and the 37th Psalm,
mqdeirn version of which is
‘E?v4h though I crash, I shall not
eradkdu.p’.f
In a Iwlgthy discussion on uni
versal military training, Dr. Todd
ac mitjted that he had not made up
his imipd ;for or against the idea^
H j; prppwed the idea of an ar-
rtjngemerft similar _ to the CCC
Camps; that whuld reclaim our na-1
tiiril domain and! still similate con-
dikibnsiofi military life. He propos
er spehdihg the money involved in
UMf pn ieducation-for-p^ace—that
is rididihg our i country of such
pi actities 'as racial intolerance.
Sti l! oni the subject of UMT, Dr,
T >dd said, “I dp not believe that
it (UMT) will lead toward univer-
sfl biiotberhood. Instead it is a
necessary evil for the protection of
t}|is cputitry.”

At Least Little Chimpan zees Learned They Don’t Pay
Playm^ Slot MatMnes Is Gooft Mo
»
; NEW YORK—I/Pi—Monkeys ci
Iparn one thing thatia lot of people
cannot— >
To keep from playing slot ma
chines that don’t pay off. . :
This is recounted by Prof. Frank
.. Beach of Yale University {n
Natural History magazine.
In a classic experiment at the
Vale Laboratories of Primate Bi
ology, Dr. John Wolfe trained six
young chimpanzees to operate ia
special slot machine which paid
off with one ripe gi‘ape every tirpe
a white poker chip was inserted.:
The apes quickly learned tp dis
tinguish between the valuable
white chips and brass slugs of the
same size thrown upon the floior
of their cage. They eagerly col
lected the white chip “money” to
play the vending machine.
Next Dr. Wolfe, designed a work
machine. If the chimp lifted a
heavy, weighted handle, he could
reach in and secure a white chip.
One male; Veit, showed a spend
thrift nature, dashing to the slot
machine to spend each cliip as soon
as he earned it. But Veit went bn
ptrike if he had to wait with his
money in hand.
Moos, another male, and E|imba,
a female, were thrifty, quite con
tent to collect their pay and wait
to spend it the next day, But they
then demanded quick, j efficient
service.
The Chimp-O-Mat slot machine
then was set so the ape had to<
wait a few minutes before it paid
off with a grape after the chip
was inserted.
Moos had saved his money. Jle
dropped in one chip, and put his
hand to the food cup. When no
grape appeared, “Moos grasped the
Chim-O-Mat and shook it vigorous
ly. He looked like a frustrated sub
way customer who has just wasted
a penny in a defective gum ma
chine.” Dr. Beach said. He rebelled
at the delay and apparent waste of
money. ••!, j 1 Yj-'j-
Moos and Bimba became money
