prevent crime in Jenlity is to work to rehabilitate thenmates of state correction institu tions The Idea of Imbuing prisoners tosro stralgln" when they quit thepris to furnish them with "qual iheations to do so" is behind the gov suggestion CreaUon of this new division was through appropriation of 410000 by tl last Legislature at the suggestion and a start was actually made today when Dr A War ien Stearns correction commissioner ho has studied the subject many Vears announced the appointment of A'rank Loveland of Washington as thetew director Loveland began work this afternoon Dr Stearns emphasized the impor tance of the work by stating that about5 per cent of the persons committed )j penal or correctional institutions re turn again to society and many re turn again to the institutions It 'is to prevent this litter necur ACnee that the new division will workiheck will be made on all who enter prison as to personal history family life occupation or lack thereof habitstc

infantile paralysis clinic at the House of Mercy hospital Six were from the Berkshire School for Crip pled Children as follows: Alfred Bou cher Albert Bishop John Henry Roberge Peter Mafino and Arnold Warner others were Edward McCormick who is on the staff of the Berkshire Eagle Henry Eagan Betty arrar Martha Griffith Elsie Snell Mrs Renn Huddleston James Hart Edward Pidgeon Dom inic Mnnchini all of Pittsfield: also Helen McCarthy and Dorothy oster of Great Barrington About 15 pints of blood were taken from these present all of whom have had Infantile paralysis The clinic was organized by Dr Walter Lee of Adams district health officer and Dr George Hunt of the House of Mercy staff assisted by the city board of health Also assisting were Dr David Kramer of the Harvard in fantile paralysis commission and Dr Ralph Wheeler of the state health department Dr Lee said tonight that the clinic was very successful and he looked for results He is to have an other clinic at North Adams tomor row and expects about 15 voluntary patients from northern Berkshire Dr Smith of Hartford member of the Connecticut state board of health was present TROLLIES HALT AS RUSH HOUR CURRENT AILS (Con Untied from irst Page) pressed into service and at 8 it was thrown into use but again the serv ice lasted only five minutes before this one blew out Workmen were immediately put to work repairing the break but the difficulty in locating the fault made it impossible to throw power back into the line Another Transformer Gone At 9 a reformed transformer was put into the line and this also quickly short circuited William O'Neill as sistant superintendent in charge off the station ordered all the power cut off and cables leading from the trans former into the power house were torn out of the conduits to be replac ed with new ones with the hope that power could be resumed this morning At an early hour today the new crle was being installed Every official of tl trolly company was sent out to main points of con gestion to assist in tire transfer of passengers and direct busses to vari ous routes In the park section extra busses returned from bus lines were returned to trolly lines and as soon as passengers had been dispatched they were sent to assist on other lines Although the trolly company was not responsible for the break the large number of cars on the lines at the time complicated matters consid erably The great amount of current drawn made it impossible for any sin gle car to get enough to keep the car moving Small surges of current at intervals permitted cars to move at a pace Officials of the trolly company said that if only a few pieces of rolling stock were on the lines some service might have been given CRAMER REPORTED SAE ATER BEING ORCED TO OCEAN (Continued from irst race) sagi was received saying: name unknown bound from Reykja vik to Thorshaven unable to rise from The source of this second message remains unknown It gave rise to early fears that Cramer would not be able to lift his plane from the ocean These were dispelled at word of his safe arrival in the aroes 0 NATIONAL CONVENTION AT BOSTON AVORED (Continued from irst Page) publican state committee members who meet in Boston today the fol lowing statement which appeared in an article by Sam Blythe (Colonel Low down) in the August 1 number of the Saturday Evening Bost After showing the overwhelming handicaps the national Republican party faces in 1932 he says: am firmly of the conviction that the country at present is and will be next year pjlitically dry Therefore if we the Republican party in na tional convention assembled nomin ate a dry candidate on an absolutely dry platform we shall win' "It seems it this statement would be wot thy of the consideration of your committee We must always remem ber that Massachusetts Rhode Tland and Connecticut are not typical of the Conferees after discussing the im portance of bringing the national gathering to New England from the sectional viewpoint adopted a mo tion of National Committeemen Louis Liggett stating: Boston organizes to obtain the Republican national convention for Boston in 1932 the Republican organ ization of the New England states will indorse and support the applica tion for the convention" This means of course if Boston ians organize and collect a very sub stantial sum of money to bid against Chicago which also is alter the con vention All New England It was voted to hold an All New England rally tn September Taylor was authorized to appoint a commit tee for the sever I states to help him in determining the place for the out ing and making arrangements Tay lor named this committee as follows: Miss Katherine Byrne of ConnecticutMrs rank Roe Batchelder of Massa chusetts Bernard Chase of New Hampshire William Pelkey of Rhole Island Daniel ield of Maine and William Adams of Vermont and the committee had its first meet ing Springfield Is Suggested As Place This committee discussed the pos sibilities of holding the rally in Spring field during the Eastern States expo sition in September a day At the expo sition with a box luncheon to be fol low'ed by a meeting in the Springfield Auditorium with a national speaker to make the keynote address Chairman Taylor will go to Springfield in a few days to discuss the matter with expo sition officers Members of the com mittee will consider other possible places to hold the event It was agreed by all that another all New England conference similar to that of today ought to be held later probably in October and this undoubtedly will he arranged The conference discussed various other subjects bearing on next cam paign and state representatives pre remendous Atomic Power Within Scientists Grasp 25 000 000 Volt Protons Equal to Energy of In terior May Be Produced With 85 Ton Magnet and Ordinary Voltages New Haven Ct Aug 7 (AP) A discoverj' promising 25000009 volt protons an energy as tremendous as the hot interior of the sun has been made at the of California Details were made public today in con nection with some developments now pending in the East Protons are the nuclei the centers" of atoms They are far the heaviest portions A 25000000 volt proton is an atomic high explosive shell travel ing with such intensity that it is ex pected to knock atoms to pieces and perhaps to "unlock" tlie mystery of tlie energy of the atom Tremendous Power Expected This proton beam is equivalent to energy from a 25000000 volt ray tube a power unit which is now only one of the drear of science It is nearly equal to the energy behind cos mic rays which scientists say come from either the creation of matter in the depths of space or from its an nihilation in the hot interiors of the sun and stars The giant beam will be produced with 10000 to 50000 volts of electric ity plus an 85 ton magnet for which the of California is nego tiating The new method of producing great energy with comparatively small electrical current has been developing rapidly at California the result of a discovery announced less than a year ago to the National Academy of Sci ences by Dr Ernest Lawrence and Stanley Livingston of the depart ment of physics Hight Velocity from Low Voltage With the aid of a small magnet particles of atoms are set whirling round and round in a vacuum tube with centrifugal motion at constantly increasing speeds inally they are shot out of the tube as if from a gun Surprisingly high velocities have been obtained with only a few hundred volts of electricity Dr Lawrence is in the East arrang ing for aid to obtain scientific equip ment to make the great magnet ef fective It must have a hase a build ing over it and some added electrical apparatus "It is because the size of the mag net alone establishes the upper limit to the obtainable he states "that an 85 ton magnet under con sideration opens the possibility of pro ducing 25000000 volt protons Such energies are well above any that occur in radioactive disintegration processes and indeed are comparable with cos mical transformations which gave rise to cosmic rays "When a radium atom disintegrates it ejects an alpha particle (a positively charged helium atom) with an energy corresponding to 4700000 volts The fastest alpha particle is that from thorium and corresponds to 8000 000 volts Of Vast Scientific Significance possibility of producing par ti cles with energies greater' than those occurring in natural radioactive dis integration processes is of importance beyond evaluation "At present there is no other way of producing such high speed particles The straightforward method for 25 000000 volt protons would be to apply 25000000 volts to the electrodes of a vacuum tube but such a pressure is hardly within the range of practica bility because 25000000 volts would cause a spark to jump a gap of several hundred feet in air the aid cf the large magnet such high speed particles should be producible in a relatively small labo ratory with voltages of but 10000 to 50000 larger number's of these particles can be produced than the number from any available source of radium It is calculated that tlie number of protons per second produc ible in this way would be as effective as many thousands of grams of radium" A further possibility is production of rays from the impact of this proton stream upon a metal target Theoretical physics shows that the rays would be generated in small amounts but no one has had the ap paratus to test the theory sented summaries of their respective political problems resent at the gathering were the following party leaders: National committee members Maine Joseph Simpson New Hampshire Mrs Howard Parker Vermont Mrs Margaret Tucker Ma rchusetts Louis Liggett and Mrs Nathaniel Thayer Rhode Island rederick Peck and Mrs Paul itz Simons Connecticut Miss Katherine Byrne State committee members Maine Daniel ield chairman and Mrs Eva Mason vice chairman New Hampshire

vice chairman TYRANNY CHARGED AGAINST IN DEPORTING ALIENS (Continued from irst entirely to the department of labor and that the fault lay largely with the deportation system itself However he said repeatedly that immigration inspectors constantly vio lated constitutional rights in arresting suspects without warrants and in sub jecting them to practices of the Inquisition in cross examination" "It is Oppenheimer as serted "if anywhere in the entire sys tem of Anglo Saxon jurisprudence are government officials given similar un fettered rights of private inquiry or is the exercise of governmental power more often characterized by violations of fairness and decency" The Baltimore lawyer devoted much of his report to criticism of the in flexibility of the deportation laws and the rigid rulings he said often were made under them He maintained the labor depart deportation board of review had "insisted upon making deportation a death in the case of an Ital ian Guido Serio who testified he would be killed for political reasons if sent back to his native land and whom Soviet Russia was willing to receive Urges Independent Board As a remedy for the conditions hr complained against Oppenheimer sug gested that the department be relieved of its triple function of being a de tective a prosecutor and a and that an independent board be estab lished similar to the board of tax ap peals which could decide upon war rants of deportation and to which aliens could appeal their cases He suggested that the of immigration inspectors and patrolmen should be that more coopera tion be sought between federal and local authorities particularly in the cases of alien criminals and that 'more provision be made for furnishing aliens with attorneys "Aliens subject to deportation to a country where their lives may be in flanger because of their political opin he said "should be allowed to depart at their own expense to any other foreign country willing to re ceive them as a compliance with the wa rrant "The agencies for preventing unlaw ful entry into this country should be strengthened The personnel of therder patrol should be increased and the consular officers abroad should take further steps to see that the ap plicants for visas realize that unlawful attempts to enter this country are punishable by fine and Comment on Crime Wave The brief report of the commission itself characterized as falacious the current notion that foreign born population was responsible fur the crime wave other studies made for this it said strong like lihood appears that the foreign bom in the United States can be definitely exonerated from the charge that they have been responsible for a dispropor tionate share of the crime current in the Of study it said that he had found worse than the kind of unfairness to the suspected deportee which occasionally results where men untrained in the law become too zealous as prosecutors to remain judicial as the commission added should intervene' in this process a judicial body independent of the de partment charged with the adminis trative features of the enforcement of the la v' a court or commission thus would be wholly disassociated from the discovery and prosecution of deportees To such a court appeals should be easily prosecuted should heat in open court and in the presence of the accused all ev idence upon which the final judgment is to be predicated In the end a pub lic record should be made of Oppenheimer charged that the smuggling of aliens into this country has reached such proportions that it now "is an organized Secretary Doak to whom this re port was submitted several months ago announced recently that immigra tion officials had just arrested mem bers of a nation wide alien smuggling ring and intended to break it up com pletely "A large part of the unlawful entry of aliens along the Canadian border particularly in the East" Oppen heimer said the work of these or ganized rings The aliens are scouted out by agents of the smuggling or ganizations Occasionally the idea of smuggling across is suggested to them Sometimes the agent of the ring pretends a personal interest in the alien particularly it she be a woman" Raps Preliminary Quizzing The Baltimore attorney attacked particularly what he termed injustice in the preliminary examinations of suspected aliens He asserted they often composed "the entire basis for the deportation proceedings" but were conducted in private without benefit of attorney for the defendant and with the questions asked unlimit ed in scope "There is strong ground for the he said "that many of the statements taken from supposed aliens are extorted by methods both unfair and He condemned a "lack of on the part of immigration author ities which he asserted sometimes operated to separate families simply because of the violation of small technicality of the law Says Circ*mstances Ignored "Once the legal machinery with respect to any alien has begun to he said "his deportation if he has violated the law becomes al most automatic no matter what un necessary hardship and suffering may result to him and possibly to his American lie condemned also the "recent raids" by immigration inspectors by which entire gatherings of people were held for inspection adding that is a short step from these raids to the breaking up any meeting which a government official may not inally Oppenheimer accused the labor deportation board of review with at least occasional despotism is he said "how ever fair the boat'd of review may and undoubtedly does wish to be that by reason of its position in the administrative structure it cannot properly fulfill its functions of quasi judicial determination" Iloak to Reply Today Washington Aug 7 (AP) A statement is to be issued tomorrow giving the views of Secretary Doak on the Wickersham re port on deportation which vigorous ly criticized officials of the labor de partment Doak made this announcement to night saying that until the state ment is made public he preferred not to comment on the report GLOUCESTER SCHOONER DESTROYED BY LAMES Boston Aug 7 Destruction of the Gloucester fishing schooner Vesco Da Gama by fire on Georges banks yesterday was reported today to the coast guard by Capt Magnus Magnuson of the Boston beam trawler Mist The cause was not determined The

Again Halts Robbins and Jones Edmonton Alta Aug 7 (AP) Bad flying conditions coupled with trouble in starting the motors of the refueling ship caused Reg I Robbins and Harold Jones Texas airmen to halt an attempted nonstop refueling flight from airbanks Alaska to ort Worth Tex here today They said they would tomor row on a nonstop flight to the Texas city They had intended to refuel above the Edmonton airport but were forced to come down at 1030 a (Pacific standard time) They left airbanks last night at 11 30 (Pacific standard time) It was their third unsuccessful at tempt at a long distance nonstop flight Early last month they were forced down at Solomon beach Alaska near Nome on a flight from Seattle to Tok io when they were unable to hold their hip steady underneath the refueling plane ive days ago they again left Seattle for a second attempt but lost the re fueling plane piloted by James Mat tern and Nick Greener in fog and lacking sufficient gasoline came back to airbanks Heavy rain here aroused fears the fliers would be unable to refuel They started to alight on the airport but seeing it was too muddy landed on a paved street nearby When the second Seattle Tokio hop failed Robbins declared he would never again try such a flight Boardman and Polando Keep Silent on Plans Istanbul Turkey Aug 7 Russell Boardman and John Polando American transatlantic fliers main tained silence today about their plans but many indications pointed to a hopoft for Bagdad Sunday on their wav to India Their plane the Cape Cod has not yet been refueled but it carries a blui bead the traditional Turkish charm against the evil eye which was hung on the windshield by a Turkish girl The British aviators Stack and Chaplin recently flew from Istanbul to Bagdad crossing the

is said members of the New Eng land Road association whose members have built about 70 per cent of the roads in Massachusetts is be hind the move to upset this precedent of the council which these members contend is very bad and will react against other industries of the state as well as the contractors The council does not meet next week but the Arute concern will have its petition for the councilors' consid eration the week after members of the firm say They contend that most of the members of the firm live in Massachusetts that the concern has done most of its work in this state and that it and they pay taxes in Massachusetts They hold that except for the technicality that some of their firm live in Connecticut they are in reality a Massachusetts concern rederick Hoitt counsel and secre tary of the New EnglandRoad Build ers' association has sent a letter to Gov Joseph Ely in which it is pointed out that by adopting this rule of giving local concerns an advantage over outsiders the council has done something the Legislature repeatedly has refused to do at the last session when it refused affirmative action on a bill to this end introduced by Sen ator James Warren of Lawrence There is a possibility that the ques tion will be raised as to the council's power to override the state public works award of a con tract This will be raised on the ground that the council has the right to reject a contractor's bid solely on the question of qualifications to per form the contract and meet financial requirements It is contended the power in this respect is de fined by section 8 chapter 81 of the General Laws which states it has au thority to disapprove an award based on the question of whether the low bidder has filed a satisfactory bid and is qualified to carry out the terms of the arrangement If it rejects a low bid it must give sound leasons for the action As near as could be learned today when the council decided to give pref erence to Missachusetts concerns if the difference in bids was not too great an attempt was made to have the idea put off until future contracts came up rather than make it applic able to the contracts then under con sideration but this failed John Arute head of the New Britain concern said today at the State House that when the public works de partment awarded the contract to his firm he made plans immediately to start work yesterday morning at 7 He said he had bought $30000 worth of supplies and they were on the rails bound for Massachusetts He also had contracted for an expensive piece of road building machinery and an auto mobile but canceled the latter two orders It must be borne in mind that such a contract is not legally given to a concern until the council has approv ed the public works department's award but concerns heretofore have always considered the public works decision equivalent to a legal award and have started operations at once to help keep within the time limit of the contract Arute says his company is being put to great inconvenience and expense by the council's adverse action on the contract on which he was lowest bidder Secretary Hoitt of lhe road build ers' association pointed out another danger of the action He said many contractors in Maine New Hampshire Connecticut and other states buy supplies from Boston houses and if they are to be unfair ly treated in respect to contracts they are apt to retaliate by boycotting Massachusetts supply concerns He also pointed out the possible danger of big Massachusetts contracting firms that work all over the country When Gov Ely was reported last December as in favor of keeping highway contracts within the state as far as possible Secretary Hoitt made vigorous protest saying in part by letter: "It is obvious that the establish ment of a policy by each of the New England states of awarding highway contracts only to contractors domi ciled in that state would cause great injury to existing Massachusetts con tractors It is not reasonable to con fine the operations of highway con tractors to state lines In this road building does not differ from other lines of construction work in which the general custom has been to go where woik can be found when work is needed The logical extension of such a policy would be ultimately to restrict contractors to work within their own municipalities Organized highway contractors are strongly op posed to such restrictive measures Such restrictions w'ould be extremely harmful to the best interests of in dustry" The action has brought some severe
