CHICAGO SLAYERS
NERO,
PASTOR ASSERTS
Says Modern Education May
Not Be Worthy of
Condolences
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, lJune 16.-Nathan Leo
pold and Richard Loeb, millionaire
youths, "out-Neroed Nero" in their
cold-blooded murder of Robert
Franks, 14-year-old school boy, the
Rev. Josiah Sihle7, pastor of the
Second Presby terrain Church, de-
clared in his Sun lay sermon.
Here in Chicago, under the caves
of a splendid university, have two
apparently brilliant boys out-Neroed
Nero in cold blood in the way in
which they maintained that they
murdered an unsuspecting boy only
to gain a few thousand dollars they
did not need" DR.. Sibley said.
rs this modern education pro-
ducing such as this? Shall educa-
ton. like a F'rankenstein monster,
destroy the very people who have
created it? Is education not worthy
the confidence We place in it? Have
we been educating our children only
to make monsters of them?'
Inc rev. JOnn thompson, pastor
of the Chicago Temple (MethodisD,
blamed craving for thrills" for the
Franks murder.
THE craving for thrills is one of
the most serious perils of modern
young life" DIR. Thompson told his
audience.
These two university graduates
knew not the value of money Their
every want was met. They lost the
stimulus and the character-building
reaction that comes from struggle. -
With a growing staff Of ahenists
examining the two young slayers.
chances for a bitter contest Of scien-
tifc testimony are growing.
The defense is making every eff
fort to establish that Leopold and
Loeb are insane and that they were
rot responsible for the killing. The
State, meanwhile, is preparing to
prove them both morally and legal
ly sane" and will attempt to have
the boys hanged for the crime.
The trial opens Aug. 4.

ola TOILETTE TRlcKED"
Mahoney Says Senator Was Fooled
Into Making Statement.


Into Making Statement.
By United Press
ST. PAUL, Jim, June 16.-"La
Toilette was misled by that gang in
Washington, William Mahoney told
the United Press today. Samuel
Gompers, head of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor and Warren S.
Stone of the Big Four Railroad
Brotherhoods, tricked him into de-
nouncing us because they want to
kill off all chance of a successful
third party. They would lose their
jobs if a third party should be sue
cessfuL
But we realize that all phases of
the progressive sentiment in this
country must be represented in any
successful movement.
La Toilette is not our man. He
is not a radical. But he is the best
we can get. He can't throw US over.
We won t let him. We want to unite
the progressives of forty-eigt
States and we are willing to bury
the Ratchet TO do it.
His denunciation Of US was
merely a political move. He knew
he would have our support any way
so he refused to cater to us"
Endorsement of La Toilette, prob
ably on Thursday, will be the first
official recognition he has been
granted as a progressive.

STATE MEDICAL
BOARD AGAINST
VOLUNTARY BODY
DR., Colt Says Movement for
National Exams DupIi-
Gates State Plan.

A statement of DR.. William T.
Colt, Charlottesville, secretary,
State board of medical examiners, ex-
planning why Indiana does not rec
Ognize the National board of medical
examination, was made public today
The National board, a voluntary or
ganizatiOn supported by the Rookie
Teller Foundation, today announced
its examinations will be conducted
Thursday. Friday and Saturday in
thirty-thTee cities, including Indian
apolis.
Twenty-eight States have accepted
the National boards certificate. Any
holder of the certificate of the board
will be accepted by the board in these
particular States.
Character High, but
DR.. Colt said:
Il am not unmindful of the high
character, culture and standing of
the distinguished physicians and sur
geons composing the board. but the
acceptance by a illegally constituted
medical examining board of a GER
tificate of qualification issued by any
voluntary board having no legal au-
thority to exist, or act in such ca
pacity is, in my opinion, unwise. IN
warranted, and unlawful and may.
and probably will, lead to serious
complications.
1.-THE board granting such certifi-
Gates without the authorization of
the law could not consistently en-
force the law that it had itself dis
regarded. The voluntary medical ex-
aiming board making the recon-
mendatiOn would have no response
bility in the premises and the State
board would be made the goat
Provision Already Made
The evident purpose of the board
is to obviate necessity of re-examina-
ton whenever a physician wishes TO
practice in another State"
This condition" Colt says. has
been remedied by interstate rec
iprocity in medical licensure which
now obtains in almost all States.
hence there is no necessity on this
ground for the existence of a
voluntary examining board"

ST. PAUL SESSION
Convention May Turn Other
Cheek to Wisconsin
Senator.
BY LOWELL MELLETT
T7f,nec Ctnn Nnnresnnt1 dfrt

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 16.-Tha
convention which Senator La Fol-
lette turned down seems unlikely to
return the compliment. It's dis
position is rather to turn the other
cheek. Expressions from delegates
arriving for the sessions which be-
gin tomorrow indicate that little will
transpire to which La Toilette could
object.
The Communist party-attacked
strongly by Senator Robert NJ. La
Follettte-was kicked out Of the
Farmer-La Dor third party conven-
ton here today on the eve Of IL
assembly.
Organizers of the convention
served notice upon the Communist
delegates that they could not enter
the convention under the banner Of
their party.
All the Communists, however, 90
members of various trade unions,
will be permitted to participate i'll
the gathering if they present ere.
dentials from their unions.
Lost First Fight
The communists lost their first
fight at a preliminary organi.
zatiOn meeting Sunday night wheI
they put forward the idea that
National third party must bs
launched now The idea was voted
down. Instead tho majority presen;
adhered to the notion that It is wiser
to wal. and see if La Toilette is to
become a candidate. If he is they
are prepared to indorse him. It not
they would have another candidats
put into the presidential race. Either
course could be carried out by an
instructed executive committee to be
appointed by the convention.
This course. in fact, appears to be-
favored by William Mahoney, secre.
tary of the Minnesota Farmer-Labor
party and chairman Of the arrange
ments committee of the convention.
Mahoney, as editor Of the Minnesota
Union Advocate, mas assailed La
Toilette bitterly for his public re.
fusal to have anything to do with a
convention in which avowed com.
munistis are to participate.
Seems Ready to Help
His own expressed opinion is that
so long as these communists are
working along Constitutional" lines
no exception can be taken to them.
Notwithstanding this, Mahoney
seems ready to help put through q
program that will eventually meet
the La Toilette objections in most
other respects. In any case, he
agrees that attempting to organize
a new national party to participate
in the coming election is unwise.
And in this view he Is supported
by most of those who have reached
St. Paul. Men from States like
Kansas and California, where they
feel the chances for Progressive
gains this year are extremely good,
do not wish their chances hampered
by the effort to produce and elect
full party tickets.
Foster. Reutenberg and Manley,
of course, have not given up hope.
Pleasant. plausible and very intellt-
gent. they may be expected to over
look no opportunity to turn the con.
vention into the other course.
