Subject: Ratting out Puharich Part 2/2


http://www.qedcorp.com/pcr/pcr/test1.html

In addition to the Wallace money, Mrs. Zlatko Balakovic kicked in $2,000 and
a Mr. Walter C. Paine put in $3,000. Although Walter C. Paine is still
alive, I have had no luck at all in getting a response from him to any query
regarding the Round Table Foundation. I have thus dubbed him Mr.
"I-don't-want-to-talk-about-it" Paine. Another, later associate of the
Foundation, Arthur Young, now deceased, said that he had a friend named
Walter in Camden who was also part of the Foundation. He commented that
Walter was an oil executive at the time and preferred to remain anonymous.
We will continue without Mr. Paine's input. Hummphh. Various pieces of
high-tech equipment began to show up at the lab. The cost of this equipment
was also, at cost, or no charge. We will mention only one such specialized
piece of equipment in this article, but there were others. The one piece we
will discuss seems to have made a tidy profit for Andrija. John Cooney an
electronics engineer from Yale, who had been associated with the M.I.T.
Radiation Laboratory and had helped develop radar during the war,
constructed it. Cooney built a specially designed nerve stimulator. The
function of the unit was to stimulate nerves by controlled electrical
impulses. It happens that Andrija Puharich had written a letter to Henry
Wallace in 1948, which mentioned John Cooney. This was before he had
actually received the grant from the Wallace Fund. "The Mr. John Cooney that
I refer to in my program for research is a rare man who fits into the
program here perfectly. He is an electronic engineer who was trained at Yale
and M.I.T. He is of my vintage and a rebel from society who came to Maine so
that he could be himself. He has built, and is running, a jewel of a theatre
in Waldoboro, and thus has an independent income. He is working with me for
no pay -- just for the sheer pleasure of it. He is brilliant and ingenious.
The equipment that I want to build would cost about $40,000 on the open
market, but he thinks that he can do that job for about $4000.00 using war
surplus material. Thus the money that you are granting will go a very long
way." According to John Cooney, now 83, though, "This is all vintage
Puharich as I remember him -- beginning with the "brown-nosing" of Mr.
Wallace and concluding with the paragraph relating to me personally -- which
is 100% pure bull-shit from start to finish."

Far from being a rebel from
society who came to Maine so that he could be himself, Mr. Cooney pointed
out that he had in fact lived in Maine all of his life (except for WW II) on
land that had been in his family since the Indians owned it. He denied
having ever having an independent income, nor had he worked for free and
most certainly never for Puharich, nor did he at any time have slightest
connection with The Round Table Foundation. The "jewel of a theatre"
mentioned had not been built by him but by his father. The nerve stimulator,
actually a special variable pulse electronic generator, had not cost $4,000
but in fact had cost about $40.00, which according to Mr. Cooney is what he
charged Puharich and was duly paid for, concluding any dealings they had.


The puzzlement here is why Andrija Puharich would have written such a
letter, containing so many false details about a man he, at least according
to Cooney, actually had next to no dealings with. If Henry Wallace had been
so inclined he might have, with a little checking, found out the truth.
Perhaps the answer lies in the last section of this report. In it you will
find that another man named Cooney was indeed associated with Puharich. For
now, let us continue with our story. Though the Round Table Foundation's
bottom line, dollar-wise, was certainly on the upswing, it cannot account
for all the expenditures made. As you shall read, Puharich in some, yet
unknown, manner became the proud possessor of quite an estate. A possible
source of hidden money might have to do with a secret project associated
with the Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology in 1949.


Here we find a
remaining personality, quite wealthy, and a project whose claimed existence
did not surface for thirty years. Read on and you will understand why I use
the words "claimed existence" when speaking of that project. The person we
are interested in is a prolific and famous inventor and radio pioneer by the
name of John Hays Hammond, Jr., who at that time was in his early seventies.
Back then, he had more patents issued to himself then any other man in the
United States. Hammond had developed radio remote control which many
reference works state serves as the basis for modern missile guidance
systems. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the inventor established
the Hammond Radio Research Laboratory in 1911. By World War I, he had not
only developed radio remote-control but also incorporated within it a
gyroscope enabling him to send a yacht on a 120 mile round trip between
Gloucester, Mass and Boston.

He also developed techniques to prevent enemy
jamming of remote control, as well as invented a radio-controlled torpedo
for coastal defense. Hammond conducted some of the earliest experiments in
frequency modulation. He devised a amplifier that was used on long-distance
telephone lines. During WW II he developed a variable-pitch ship propeller
that increased engine efficiency. His later developments include a method of
intelligence transmission called "Telespot." He was president of the Hammond
Research Corporation, a consulting firm, and often served as research
consultant to large corporations. It is significant, considering the
exploratory implant work, to note that John Hays Hammond, Jr. had a belief
that the mind could be influenced by radio waves. He was also conversant
with the work of Nikola Tesla, the legally acknowledged creator of radio. He
was said, by Puharich, to have been the only student Tesla had ever had.


Bolstering that claim is the following fact. Following his financial spiral
down, Tesla lived, with John Hays Hammond, Jr. at his estate. There,
according to author and researcher Gerry Vassilatos in his interesting book
"Secrets of Cold War Technology," the work they did lead to the some of the
inventions noted above. Relating to John Hays Hammond, Jr., is the secret
project that Puharich claimed got underway in 1948, Project Penguin. This,
he avowed, was a Navy undertaking which ran a number of years. Its purpose
was to test individuals said to possess "psychic powers." The project was
headed by a man named Rexford Daniels. Puharich made this startling claim on
the Geraldo Rivera show on October 2, 1987. When challenged, he promised to
send proof of his allegation to another guest on the show, Marcello Truzzi,
who was in his usual role of open-minded skeptic. According to Truzzi, the
proof was never sent him. The Navy flat out denies that it has any records
at all of a Project Penguin. Even an appeal, on my part, to the Judge
Advocate General produced no results. "Never heard of it," is more or less
the response back. The research papers, letters, etc. of John Hays Hammond,
Jr. are now at Yale University. Queries to them regarding correspondence
between John Hays Hammond, Jr. and Andrija Puharich have likewise produced
negative results.

 This is puzzling. There should have been at least one
memorandum according to an article in the International Journal of
Neuropsychiatry is which Puharich wrote, "In 1950 I sent a memorandum to Mr.
John Hays Hammond, Jr. of Gloucester, Mass., outlining the plan of an
experimental technique." It would be exciting to think that the Department
of the Navy upon receiving my FOIA request regarding Project Penguin yelled
out something to the effect of, "Oh my God, he is on to us. Shred the docs.
Call Yale and tell them not to let that bastard have anything." I,
regretfully, am prone to believe that they have no record of a Project
Penguin, nor of any correspondence regarding such. To my mind that does not
equate to the non-existence of such a project. As in all things
governmental, it depends on who you ask. I have been able to confirm these
pieces of information: John Hays Hammond, Jr. did, in fact, carry out
research on Eileen Garrett, a world famous psychic of the day.

There was a
Rexford Daniels in Camden, Maine, during those years. He was a summer
resident and both he and his family were well thought of. According to Peter
Tompkins and Christopher Bird in their book, The Secret Life of Plants,
Rexford Daniels owned a company named Interference Consultants Company of
Concord Massachusetts and as of 1973 had been studying the problem of how
proliferating electromagnetic emissions interfere with one another and may
work harmful environmental effects on man. Daniels apparently became
convinced that there was a force in the universe which was itself
intelligent. "Daniels theorizes that this force operates through a whole
spectrum of frequencies not necessarily linked to the electromagnetic
spectrum and that human beings can mentally interact with it." There is
ample evidence that individuals thought to have talent as psychics began to
show up at the Round Table Foundation, some from overseas, some local talent
and that these individuals were indeed tested, extensively. One of the more
notorious of these individuals, Peter Hurkos, was brought to the US by a man
with a background in Naval intelligence. There was one additional grant of
money to the Round Table Foundation in 1949.

The story about how this last
bit of good fortune came to be was told thusly: Puharich and his wife
Virginia attended a square Dance in Camden during the summer of 1949. It was
at this function that he met a Mr. and Mrs. Norman Anderson, which led to
him going to New York and meeting with Charles Kaufman, then vice president
in charge of research and development at General Foods Corporation. The
results of that meeting were that General Foods decided to break with its
long standing policy of conducting research "in house." They elected to farm
out research work to Puharich at his Round Table Foundation rather then use
their own research facility at Hoboken, New Jersey. The corporation started
him off with a Fellowship and a $5,000 grant to study taste physiology. The
idea is that Andrija is to work out a new method of measuring taste in
animals, so it was publicly announced.

General Foods also granted Andrija
the use of their electron microscope which was located at their Hoboken
facility. By 1950 Andrija Puharich had become a farmer, growing crops,
raising animals and maintaining a new laboratory, complete with staff. All
this on a wonderful new estate which boasted a 22 room house, which would be
used by lab technicians for a dormitory. At the new digs was a new, large
garage which was converted to hold a store of laboratory animals. Puharich's
brother William showed up from Colorado to help with the research. Either
$5,000 went a fantastically long way in those days or some unaccounted for
funding showed up. I propose the latter of the choices. Consider the
following list of individuals known to be associated with Andrija Puharich
and the Round Table Foundation, some of whom we have already mentioned, some
of whom would not show up in time to make it into this article.

 They are:
Norman Anderson (mentioned), Charles Kettering (mentioned) and Raymond
Zirkle (mentioned), Jack Cooney (unmentioned), Kennith Cole (unmentioned)
and Shields Warren (unmentioned) General Foods (mentioned), General Motors
(mentioned). Each of these individuals and the two organizations listed were
actually engaged in research for the Atomic Energy Commission. General
Foods, in 1947, was in receipt of isotopes provided for research by the AEC.
Specifically they were to test the physiological availability and to follow
the metabolism of Zn 65 and 69 as well as Cobalt 60 and Cu 64. They had been
shipped these on the premise that they would be administered to cattle in a
specific mineral supplement. The isotopes were delivered to their Hoboken
research facility. It should be noted that research done during 1947 showed
that a pregnant dog, who had received ZN 65 (dosage undetermined), produced
radioactive pups.

The pups were then "sacrificed" to see in which organs the
element had landed. All of this is especially suspicious when one finds that
the animals being used for the taste research at the Round Table Foundation
died. At least one individual, then familiar with the Foundation recalls
burns on the bodies of some. As near as I have been able to ascertain no
special handling was carried out in getting rid of these carcasses. They
were simply left outside for the local trash collection. While I realize
that this hardly makes a lawyer's case that covert radiation research was
taking place, one should consider the strange construction of that barn
which you have been told about and his later connections to the Atomic
Energy Commission and its people which are outside the scope of this article
but will be in my book. Consider also the new Cooney in the list above. Not
the John Cooney mentioned to Wallace, but Jack Cooney, who research shows
was in 1946 and 1947 Army Colonel Jack Cooney. By 1950 he was Brigadier
General Jack Cooney. We find him briefly mentioned as being associated with
the Round Table Foundation sans his military rank or affiliation.

Cooney
headed up the army medical branch of an organization formed in July of 1947
called The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. "The Armed Forces Special
Weapons Project (AFSWP) established by the War and Navy Departments, is
charged in its charter with responsibility for all military service
functions of the Manhattan Project as are retained under the control of the
Armed Forces including training of special personnel required, military
participation in the development of atomic weapons of all types (to
coordinate with the Commission) ... and developing and effecting joint
radiological safety measures in coordination with established agencies."
Source: Office Memorandum from Lt. Col. W. B. Hutchinson Jr. to Brig.
General James McCormack, Jr. Once secret, this document was declassified in
1995. The AFSWP has a curious administrative set-up. It has not one chief,
but two, one from the Navy holding the rank of Captain and one from the Army
holding the rank of Colonel. This duel set-up might explain why my FOIA to
the Navy regarding Operation Penguin was strikingly unsuccessful. The
records would not be in the possession of the US Navy, they would have
instead been housed within the Atomic Energy Commission, probably one of the
last places one would think to look. And, although not covered in this
article, Andrija Puharich, was known to be in the company of Dr. Shields
Warren, while in Washington D.C.

This individual was, like Cooney, a key
personnel on the medical side of the radiation studies being carried out.
Puharich's earlier "medical discharge" said to have rendered him unfit to
serve in the military after completing medical training happens to have
coincided with the establishment of The Armed Forces Special Weapons
Project. Mysteriously, his medical condition seems to have vanished as he
was "reinducted" into the Army about the time of the Korean War and served
as a Captain at the US Army Chemical Center, where he got up to some very
interesting activities. If what I have stated is true, and it is, we are
left with one very perplexing question. What about the left-wing, red
sympathizing commie guys? The answer my friend, is not blowing in the wind,
it will be in my book. We leave you now with an incomplete story, hoping
that enough curiosity about Dr. Andrija Puharich, his activities, and his
marvelous tooth implant has been created that you will consider the purchase
of my upcoming book, tentatively entitled "Andrija, Aliens and the Square
Wave." Thus I will be the richer and you will be the wiser. Summing up: The
Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology began to flourish. A considerable
misrepresentation as to cost of equipment is shown. Project Penguin
undertaken by the Navy is also claimed. A grant from General Foods and the
activities of associates reveals the connection to The Armed Forces Special
Weapons Project. All material is copyright 1996 by Terry L. Milner. Limited

Subj: Ratting Out Puharich Part 4. Final. Date: 96-12-17 12:38:08 EST From:
TerryM2881 To: J SARFATTI

This is the last section in our four part series on Andrija Puharich. In it
we are covering the formation and first funding of the Round Table
Foundation of Electrobiology as well as have discussed the rudiments of the
odd tooth implant who's development started in 1948.

In this final section we will reveal the presence of an unknown agency that
was connected with the Round Table Foundation from the start. The inclusion
of this agency may leave unanswered questions about how it was that a man,
known to be financed by individuals connected to subversive organizations,
came to be granted security clearances by the United States Army.

By the time the laboratory in Maine was operational, enough material and
labor had been donated gratis to keep the total cost of setup to $437, which
even considering late 40's economics is minuscule. The exact source of these
donations is not, as of this writing, documented.

Puharich's finances were certainly flourishing. There was the $4,458.73 from
Henry Wallace. (Interestingly Puharich when reporting to the press of the
day the happy news of that grant dropped out Henry Wallace as his
benefactor) In addition to the Wallace money Mrs. Zlatko Balakovic kicked in
$2,000 and a Mr. Walter C. Paine put in $3,000.

Although Walter C. Paine is still alive I have had no luck at all in getting
a response from him to any query regarding the Round Table Foundation. I
have thus dubbed him Mr. "I-don't-want-to-talk-about-it" Paine.

Another, later associate of the Foundation, Arthur Young, now deceased, said
that he had a friend named Walter in Camden who was also part of the
Foundation. He commented that Walter was an oil executive at the time and
preferred to remain anonymous.

We will continue without Mr. Paine's input. Hummphh.

Various pieces of high tech equipment began to show up at the lab. The cost
of this equipment was also, at cost, or no charge. We will mention only one
such specialized piece of equipment in this article, but there were others.
The one piece we will discuss seems to have made a tidy profit for Andrija.

John Cooney an electronics engineer from Yale who had been associated with
the M.I.T. Radiation Laboratory and had helped develop radar during the war,
constructed it. Cooney built a specially designed nerve stimulator. The
function of the unit was to stimulate nerves by controlled electrical
impulses.

It happens that Andrija Puharich had written a letter to Henry Wallace in
1948, which mentioned John Cooney. This was before he had actually received
the grant from the Wallace Fund.


"The Mr. John Cooney that I refer to in my program for research is a rare
man who fits into the program here perfectly. He is an electronic engineer
who was trained at Yale and M.I.T. He is of my vintage and a rebel from
society who came to Maine so that he could be himself. He has built and is
running a jewel of a theatre in Waldoboro, and thus has an independent
income. He is working with me for no pay - just for the sheer pleasure of
it. He is brilliant and ingenious. The equipment that I want to build would
cost about $40,000 on the open market, but he thinks that he can do that job
for about $4000.00 using war surplus material. Thus the money that you are
granting will go a very long way."
According to John Cooney, now 83, though, "This is all vintage Puharich as I
remember him - beginning with the "brown-nosing" of Mr. Wallace and
concluding with the paragraph relating to me personally - which is 100% pure
bull-shit from start to finish."

Far from being a rebel from society who came to Maine so that he could be
himself, Mr. Cooney pointed out that he had in fact lived in Maine all of
his life (except for WW II) on land that had been in his family since the
Indians owned it. He denied having ever having an independent income nor had
he worked for free and most certainly never for Puharich nor did he at any
time have slightest connection with The Round Table Foundation. The "Jewel
of a theatre" mentioned had not been built by him but by his father. The
nerve stimulator actually a special variable pulse electronic generator had
not cost $4,000 but in fact had cost about $40.00, which according to Mr.
Cooney is what he charged Puharich and was duly paid for, concluding any
dealings they had.

lab technicians for a dormitory. At the new digs was a new, large garage

(mentioned) and Raymond Zirkle (mentioned), Jack Cooney (unmentioned),
Kennith Cole (unmentioned) and Shields Warren (unmentioned) General foods
(mentioned, General Motors (mentioned). Each of these individuals and the
two organizations listed were actually engaged in research for The Atomic
Energy Commission.

General Foods, in 1947 was in receipt of isotopes provided for research by
the AEC. Specifically they were to test the physiological availability and
to follow the metabolism of Zn 65 and 69 as well as Cobalt 60 and Cu 64.
They had been shipped these on the premise that they would be administered
to cattle in a specific mineral supplement. The isotopes were delivered to
their Hoboken research facility. It should be noted that research done

Consider also the new Cooney in the list above. Not the John Cooney
mentioned to Wallace, but Jack Cooney, who research shows was in 1946 and
1947 Army Colonel Jack Cooney. By 1950 he was Brigadier General Jack Cooney.
We find him briefly mentioned as being associated with the Round Table

medical branch of an organization formed in July of 1947 called The Armed

measures in coordination with established agencies." Source: Office

McCormack, Jr. Once secret, this document was declassified in 1995.

The AFSWP has a curious administrative set-up. It has not one chief, but
two, one from the Navy holding the rank of Captain and one from the Army
holding the rank of Colonel. This duel set-up might explain why my FOI to
the Navy regarding Operation Penguin was strikingly unsuccessful. The
records would not be in the possession of the US Navy, they would have
instead been housed within the Atomic Energy Commission, probably one of the
last places one would think to look.

And, although not covered in this article, Andrija Puharich, was known to be
in the company of Dr. Shields Warren, while in Washington D.C. This
individual was, like Cooney, a key personnel on the medical side of the
radiation studies being carried out. Puharich's earlier "medical discharge"
said to have rendered him unfit to serve in the military after completing
medical training happens to have coincided with the establishment of The
Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. Mysteriously his medical condition
seems to have vanished as he was "reinducted" into the Army about the time
of the Korean War and served as a Captain at the US Army Chemical Center,
where he got up to some very interesting activities. If what I have stated
is true, and it is, we are left with one very perplexing question. What
about the left-wing, red sympathizing commie guys? The answer my friend, is
not blowing in the wind, it will be in my book.

We leave you now with an incomplete story, hoping that enough curiosity
about Dr. Andrija Puharich, his activities, and his marvelous tooth implant
has been created that you will consider the purchase of my upcoming book,
tentatively entitled "Andrija, Aliens and the Square Wave." Thus I will be
the richer and you will be the wiser.

Summing up: The Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology began to flourish.
A considerable misrepresentation as to cost of equipment is shown. Project
Penguin undertaken by the Navy is also claimed. A grant from General Foods
and the activities of associates reveals the connection to The Armed Forces
Special Weapons Project.
