THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1955 STATESVLLLE RECORD ft LANDMARK PAGR Simple Device Insures Sleep CHICAGO Neil Batter said today he has invented a simple electronic device which can put people to sleep and help them lose weight. Setter, 40, developed the machine In two years' sparetime work. He 1 it already nas proved a boon persons troubled with insomnia weight. The machine has also been tested by a large hospital to see if it can reduce pain during natural childbirth, he said. Using rhythmic sound timed to the rate of a person's breathing, the machine can put him into a deep sleep in 20 minutes, Setter said.

"It has even put me to sleep," he said. He said he once put a small microphone connected to the device under his pillow and it set him to dreaming before the 20 minute limit. By telling his wife, Lillian, not to eat between meals while she was under the machine's "hypnotic" spell, he helped her to lose 14 pounds, Sattcr said. The subject, he said, sits in an easy chair and poors in a light projector. The projector emits a greenish which increases in intensity while he exhales and decreases while he inhales.

Uniform State Laws Sought WASHINGTON (UP) Sex Perversion Shocks Legislators dent Eisenhower urged governors of the 48 to seek uniform state laws assuring absentee voting rights to servicemen in 1956, the White House announced last night. Voting laws of three-quarters of the states now fail "short of the criteria established in World War II as substantially necessary to assure effective overseas voting by service people," the President said. In letters to the governors, he asked for prompt action in furthering "this basic American cause" of extending "the free right of suffrage" to servicemen away RALEIGH, (UP) Vice, in the I'orms of "goof balls" and sex per- Presi- version, is being studied by North from home.

The President estimated there will be between 500,000 and 1,000,000 service personnel of voting age overseas at the time of the 1956 elections. The President noted that during Wftrld War II, many of the states adopted uniform provisions for absentee voting that made balloting for servicemen a "practical possibility." Most of these were tern- Carolina legislators and many con fess they are "shocked" by the details. Most of the disclosures thus far center around bills introduced by Rep. Arthur Goodman of Mecklenburg County, the state's biggest metropolitan center. But Goodman insists the conditions he describes are not confined to Charlotte.

"Every large metropolitan area his similar problems," he said. Too often such conditions exist without the knowledge of school authorities, parents and civic leaders. Police, he said, sometimes are powerless to act until tragedy strikes.

Control of drugs peddled by the volved in the use of narcotic The "goof ball" problem, Goodman said, is now difficult to control because the drugs are not regulated under provisions of the federal and state narcotics drug acts. Unlike morphine, cocaine and heroin, "goof ball" ingredients arc available at corner drugstores. Goodman's bill would place such "goof ball" ingredients as barbiturates, paraldehydc, the often-fatal chloral hydrate and the like under restrictions requiring a physicians prescription. The Judiciary Committee studying the sexual psychopath problem has scheduled another hearim- for Tuesday to determine the effect of Goodman's bill on the state's nl- ready overtaxed mental hospitals.

The investigators disclosed they had used a citrus flavonoid compound known as CVP (Citrus Vitamin P) successfully in treating influenza and some other serious virus diseases and in hemorrhagic conditions of the eye. The pioneering work for CVP was started nine years ago. It is now out of the laboratory stage and available to the medical profession for clinical use against virus diseases as well as the treatment of capillary damage. Dr. Morton S.

Biskind, Westport, and Dr. William Coda Martin, New York, reported in the American Journal of Digestive Diseases they had used CVP in 68 cases of acute respiratory infections including the common cold, acute follicular tont-ilitis and influenza. They said the treatment led to subsidence of the infection usually in from 8 to 48 hours, occasionally somewhat more. They reported only three failures. Dr.

Walter R. Loewe, director of the department of ophthalmology, New York City Hospital, reported in the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Journal he used CVP with a combination of lipotiopic factors (meth ischol) in the treatment of serious eye diseases including fifty patients suffering from diseases of the retina. Loewe reported the most satisfactory results. In another report in the American Journal of Digestive Diseates, Dr. Boris Sokbloff oi Florida South- era College's bio-research laboratory at Lakeland, said CVP minimized injury to the capillary wall induced by viral infections.

All the investigators reported the successful use of the citrus flavo- noidi definitely indicates that the flavonoids operate in infectious viral disease bv decreasing dam age to the capillary system, minimizing penetration of the virus into the bloodstream, thus giving the body's mechanisms a better chance to throw off disease.
