EDUCATION, NOT LAWS.
 CURE FOR RADIcALISM

Washington, Feb. 6.-Stringent laws and strict enforcement of them will not curb radicalism but education must walk hand in hand with law. Charles D. Newton, attorney gen. eral of New York, today told the house Judiciary committee, which is considering anti-sedition legislation.
 Though differing with the New York attorney general in the extent and seriousness of the radical move ment, Francis H. F. Kane. who re- signed as district attorney for east ern Pennsylvania because he differed with the department of justice in it's campaign against the Reds" agreed that education was needed because many members of the communist communist labor and other radical parties were ignorant of the purposes of the organizations and signed membership cards under false as sumptions.
 Former District Attorney Kane told the committee he saw no menace to the country, whatever. in the way of rad1cahsm, much of that which is said and written on the subject be- ing mere bunk
 From the New York attorney gen. eral, however. the committee got a different view. Five hundred fho11s- and radicals had organized in New York with the plan of overthroWing the government, he said adding that unless congress and the American people soon awake to the danger it will be too late to stop their actiyi- ties.
 The radical movement, Attorney General Newton asserted. is fed on ignorance and misguidance. For that reason he recommended that teach CTS of Americanization work simul- taneously with departmei\. af justice agents. the former to educate in ,na- triotism those liable to fall under the teachings of the radicals and the lat ter to arrest and hand over for de- portation the graduated pupils in the radicaliSm schools

 Thirty two trains stalled and nine derailed was the story at the offices of the New Haven roa dtonight. Off, ficials were doubtful whether the tan- gle would be straightene dout by the morning. They agreed that a freeze up" would make the situation almost hopeless.

Many blind" trains wait ed for hours in the stations late today and tonight for engines to take them out, most of the engines having been dispatched from the yeards last night to assist stalled trains.
