(U.R The poli tician who "points with pride" or "views with alarm," might think he's the best orator since the hey-day of Greece, but his vote-getting tactics are age old. Dr. Clarence H. Schettler, Duke University sociologist, in his new "Public Opinion and Propaganda," says the soap-box phonies are following a recipe written centuries ago. The sociologist points out that an Englishman, Richard Hook er, wrote a politicians hand book in the 17th century which included every trick of the modern demagogue. "Persuade the gullible," Hook er told the office-seekers of the 1600's. He added that "women are the most gullible." "That's sure fire," Dr. Schet tler said. "Our society still pro duces women submissive by nature and prone to be attract ed enough by a candidate's manner and physical appear ance to believe whatever he says." Two more of Hooker's stand bys were: "Point out the faults of your topmost opponent" and "impute all present corruption to the opposition." "No comment necessary," Dr. Schettler said. "Just listen." Another good tactic. Hooker said three centuries ago, is to "propose your own program with glorious titles as the only remedy for existing evils." For an example of that time worn device, Dr. Schettler said, notice the "Communist-front organizations which flourish under such safe titles as 'Amer ican Youth for Democracy." Another ingredient of the suc cessful campaign, Hooker said Germany's Dr. Goebbels proved that. And last, the 17th century sage advised, "direct your think ing so that tne scriptures win appear to give support to your program. "Do we still use that?" Dr. Schettler asked. "When was the last time you heard a politician say, 'God is on our side'?"

BOEDEKER, LEONA BOEDEKER, and E. S. TUTT. -No. 1060 July 7, 1949 Work for the j W ave Forecasting Naval Forces Berkeley, Cal. u.R) s o m e thing new is being added to weather forecasts in the form of predicting the size and time of arrival of ocean waves. A group of University of Cali fornia engineers, headed by Frof. Joe W. Johnson, is making an extensive study of waves for the Navy's burden of ships. Although fishermen, shippers and harbor engineers now are given accurate local weather re ports, they often have been crossed up by unpredicted waves generated by storms up to 5,000 miles away. The condition of -the sea and surf often has no connection with local weather conditions. Waves Carry Far Johnson describes waves as "packages of energy" built by wind. The velocity, duration and extent of the wind deter mines the speed, size and power -of waves. Once started, a wave can carry its power undimin ished for thousands of miles. I The theory of "wave forecast--ing" has been worked out by. the University of California's Scripps Institution of Oceano-" graphy. The system is based on I the complex relationship be--tween wind and wave charact-1 eristics. The engineers used Abbotts Lagoon at Point Reyes, Cal., and Clear Lake to confirm their theory. Now, with wind data from weather maps and fore- cast graphs, the Berkeley en-J gineers are able to predict the? height, length and time of ar- rival of waves at many distant, points. Forecasts Accurate To make wave forecasting more accurate, they checked 271 forecasts over a nine-month period against actual results recorded at Point Sur, Cal. An other 201 forecasts during an eight-month period were com pared with records on instru- jments at Heceta Head, Ore.- ouiiusuii &uu uie preuiuuuns. turned out to be remarkably -accurate. ; Besides being a valuable! warning to marine operators and an aid to planners of am-" phibious military operations, -Johnson points out that the. wave study can be put to use in any particular locality. Wave studies would be particularly valuable to persons designing shore structures and to trans oceanic shipping and air routes.- More wave recorders are be ing installed cn the California and Washington coasts and at Guam. The instruments are in stalled 60 feet below the water surface and keep a constant record of every variation of the sea. Memory Lapse Expensive Ennis. Tex. u.R) Mrs. H. M.
