Report on E.S.P

Star, Wavy Lines, Square, Seven, Seven, Three, CBS Radio and its 217 affiliate stations present the CBS Radio Workshop. Radio's distinguished series dedicated to man's imagination, the theater of the mine. Tonight, report on ESP, a study of clairvoyance, telepathy, and extra-sensory perception taken from actual case records.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John McIntyre, extra-sensory perception, clairvoyance, telepathy, precognition. These are the laboratory words. But in everyday life, you and I are faced with a multitude of strange occurrences. A man is about to board a certain airliner.

Suddenly, on a hunch, he turns back to the ticket window and changes to another flight. An hour later, the plane would have been on, crashes into a mountainside. Item. A mother suddenly and unaccountably breaks into tears at the moment her son is killed a thousand miles away.

Reason? Unknown. Unexplained. Square. Today, modern scientists are delving deeper and deeper into these mysteries. In the science laboratory of a great university, a girl sits at a table and draws cards from an automatic shuffling machine.

On the face of each card is one of five possible designs. A star, a circle, a cross, a square, three-way line. Without looking at the cards, the girl tries to identify the designs by mental impressions, by clarovoyance.

At another table, a man watches dice tumble about in the revolving cage. The man calls out a number. Six. The dice are cast. The number is six. At still another table, an experimenter stares at a photograph of a tree and tries to project the mental image of this tree to an artist at a drawing board at an extra room.

These are only a few of the experiments by which modern science hopes to probe into these unexplained phenomena. To solve one of life's greatest rhythms. Mr. McIntyre, may I interrupt for just a moment? Certainly.
