By Rhonn Churchlil

NEW YORK, JULY 3.

TO-DAY I FOUND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA'S SIX-YEAR-OLD SCIENTIFIC TWINS-JOHNNY AND JIMMY WOODS, WHOSE HOME LIES IN THE NEGRO QUARTER OF NEW YORK.

They were born in a clinic, Jimmy grow up in normal bome conditions. But at three months a paychologist began to give Johnny paychological treatment every day with start- ling results.

At two years Johnny had the brain of a child of more than twice his age. He was hailed as a "wonder baby."

At the age of four the treatment ceased and Johnny joined his brother in a normal home life. And now their positions are reversed. Jimmy lends his brother mentally and physically. By comparison Johnny is dull and slow-like a plant that has become stunted after being brought them from a forcing frame.
