...visit to one of the Psychological Laboratory's 17 testing stations. He is seated in a chair, asked all manner of questions, submitted to unexpected electric shocks, put to work on an ergograph (machine to test muscle fatigue), given mechanical reflex tests. Without his knowledge a motion-picture camera hidden by a wall chart records every revealing facial reaction, every embarrassed ear-scratching, every fake posturing. His voice is tested for warmth of melody (strong sympathies and emotions) or hard, staccato timbre (calm and determined will power). His reactions to sounds are tried. His hand writing and physical appearance...

The examining officer, a tall, smiling lieutenant who spoke perfect English, nodded. The films stayed in Murphy's pajama pockets -even while he was being interviewed by the raider captain...

Chemical Corp. originally sponsored by I. G. Farbenindustrie, but since 1939 called General Aniline & Film (textiles, dyes, Agfa Ansco camera equipment). SEC revealed that the original U.S. directors of the firm, including Standard Oil of New Jersey's Walter Teagle, had no idea who controlled it either.
