WASHINGTON, May 19 (UP)
- -The Die? unAmeriean activities
committee said today that Major
General George Van Horn Moseley
retired, Dudley Pierrepont Gilbert
a New York millionaire and social-;
ite, and a number of other persons
were engaged in n campaign to
counteract an alleged plot to over-
throw the government. The cam-
paign, Hep. Martin Dies, commit-
tee chairman, said, had a strong
anti Semitic tinge.
, Dies made his disclosures after
■ ' the committee had heard witnesses
under conditions of secrecy that
resembled melodrama.
The chief witness, he said, had
been Gilbert, who said he had
heard of the alleged plot to over-
throw the government from a per-
son he believed to be a servant
in an exrlu; ive New York club.
Gilbert testified, Dies said, that
this person claimed to have over-
board the club members plotting
the overthrow of the government
A waiter, he made notes which he
turned over to Gilbert, the New
York socialite told the committee.
These notes were transmitted to
other persons who circulated them
to a special mailing list.
(Contributed $9,000
Gilbert acknowledged, Dies said
having contributed a total of $9,-

ize the alleged plot.

ABOARD THE ROYAL PILOT
TRAIN, Enroute To Ottawa, May
19 (UP) —King George and
Queen Elizabeth reached the cap-
ital of the largest British dominion
today aboard their trans-contin-
ental train which stood all night
on a siding a quarter of a mile
outside Caledonia Springs, sleepy
little village of 153 inhabitants.
The stop was sehedued. The
royal train, on an 3,000 mile tour
of Canada and the United 'States,
travels only during the day as a
measure of comfort and to enable
the king and queen to see the
scenery.
It was their majesties’ first
night aboard the streamlined
“palace on wheels,” whose royal
personages and resplendent guards
and the clamor they had loft in
Montreal were in strange contrast
to the lonely countryside in which
they stopped.
Natives kept a respectful <li -
tance and the train’s guards had
an uneventful vigil. As soon as
the royal train moved onto the
siding, behind the pilot train, ill
royal Canardian mounted police-
men, six railway policemen and
six Ontario provincial guards
sprang from their positions about
the last two cars of the 12 car
train in which the king and the
queen have quarters.
A special crew of brakemen and
| railway technicians crawled under
every ear and inspected it. Twelve
more mounted policemen were
posted on board the train, guard-
ing entrances to the royal coaches.
The king and queen had retired

Device To Aid
Prospective
Mothers, Say
Childbirth To Be Less Of An
Ordeal With Completion
Of New Medical Gadget
■ST. LOUIS, May 19 (UP) —.A
device (he size of a deck of cards
which "telegraphs” when and how
the stork is going to arrive has
been introduced to the American
Medical association today as a
means of mitigating the dangers
of childbirth.
Dr. Douglas P. Murphy, obstet-
rics specialist of the University
of Pennsylvania, presented the de-
vice at the association’s 90th an-
nual convention. He said it also
aided the physician in determining
Mhc amount and type of drug to
administer the mother to make
childbirth less an ordeal.
The instrument Is the toco-
graph. Specificially it registers
the expulsive force of birth. It
was developed only recently by
Dr. Sandor Loiand of Budapest.
Murphy has the only one in the
United States and has experiment-
ed with it in 300 births.
It is a tiny box containing a
clock-like spring arrangement
which carries a tiny roll of paper
across the point of a small pen.
The pen is attached to a spring
and protruding button. In use, it J
is attached to the expectant moth-
er's abdomen 1 y an elastic waist-
band.
“Movements of the abdominal
wall against the buttons make a
wave like graph on the paper,"
Murphy said. “The frequency
and severity of the contractions
indicate the nearness to delivery.
The movements arc magnified sev-
en times on the graph and makes
available a record of normal and
pre-labor movements."
If the lines of the graph pro-
ceed evenly, he said, indications
are that there are no complica-
tions. Depending on the spacing
of waves of the graph, the phy-
sician can determine whether the
mother is having a quick labor
or whether the labor will extend
over a period of day*.
