Then he instructed the man to place his hand against his cheek and that his jaw and inside of his mouth would become numb, thus transferring the feeling of numbness from his hand. Dr. Fross said at thalt point he could have worked on cavities in the man's teeth and he wouldn't have experienced any pain.

Dr. Bryan emphasized that himself several times a day for five minutes and gets "tremendous restorative powers'which allow him to sleep only four hours a night. He emphasized that hypnosis isn't a panacea for all things and can't cure such illnesses as cancer or appendicitis. One of me instructors at the seminar is Dr. Emil V.

Spillman of Marietta, a medical doctor who has been using hypnosis in his practice for a number of years. hypnosis "is not voodoo or something mysterious. It's a normal function we all experience" to some degree in everyday life. Many people are self-hypnotized, in effect, because of certain psychosomatic problems that often can be relieved by professional hypnotism. Bryam said hypnotism is a pleasurable and relaxing experience as well as restorative physically.

Board of Corrections. By SAM HOPKINS Dr. William J. Bryan's audience went to sleep on him Thursday.

That could be a pretty embarrassing thing for some speakers. Bu not for Bryan. It wasn't that he was dull, boring or unimaginative. He hypnotized them. The demonstration was part of a four-day seminar sponsored by the American Institute of Hypnosis.

More than 70 physicians and dentists attended the opening meetings Thursday at the Hilton Inn. Dr. Bryan, who is founder of the institute which has 12,000 doctor and dentists as members, said the seminars are held to stress the importance hypnosis can play in treating patients and to encourage more professional Sen.

I A source in the governor's office said Maddox is leaning toward reappointing Bennett who was first appointed to the board in March, 1965, by Gov. Carl Sanders but does not want to face a leigslative fight over the appointment. Under the Senate courtesy rule a senator would normally get his way on a strictly local appointment or a district appointment, but there is an argument as to whether the same courtesy is extended to a board that serves the whole state. The governor's aide charged that Dean has had a longtime political battle going with Bennett and this is just a continuation of it.

In addition to his posts as Superior and City Courts clerk, Bennett has interests in the Bennett Pure Oil dealership in Jesup and in a Jesup concrete company. He said 77 diseases can be helped by hypnosis.

Lester Maddox confirmed that the appointment is shaping up as a real political battle. Dean said he has submitted three names two Wayne County (Jesup) residents and one Appling County resident for consideration to replace Bennett on the five-man prison board. In his letter, he says: "Mr. Stetson Bennett, who is clerk of the Superior and City courts in Wayne County, has never informed me that he desires to be re-appointed nor has he ever asked me for my help in the matter. It has been reported to me, however, tjiat he is contacting or having someone else contact every member of the Senate asking that they overrule the request (that someone new be appointed to the Board of Corrections." The senator, who last year forced the resignation of a member of the State Board of Dental Examiners from his district, said in the letter: "I did not make this request because of anything personal, but because of the many Wayne County citizens and taxpayers who feel that serving as clerk of two courts and the other duties of his office is in itself a full time job without taking on any other resoonsibility.

I share their feeling. Our county is number 50 in population in the state and there are a lot of court cases. "I believe you will agree that our present prison system is in need of improvement and upgrading. In order to get this done, it will require a lot of time and hard work on the part of 4 12 vrr fmh Oi' whijg; hp i lO i i i I Jr til j-g A i a me' Murricd. Harried.

"For members of the board to do a proper job of upgrading and improving the system, it will require more just a meeting one day a month. It is my belief, as well as the many people who expressed themselves, that Mr. Bennett does 'not have the time to serve on the board and work hard at prison reform, and at the same time properly serve the people of Wayne County in two courts and perform the other duties of his office.

He also has outside business interests which consume his time." Bennett, whose term expires No. 27, declined to comment. Dean, however, was reached in Jesup where he said while he could not comment on a letter "which I sent -in confidence to my fellow senators," he would say that he feels Bennett's serving as a court clerk and a Corrections Board member is a possible violation of the separation of powers. I He said the court clerk's position is in the judicial of the state and the Corrections Board post comes under the executive function.
