ORGANIZING WORK 0F PLAN COMMISSION
Fewer Number of Members Could Accomplish More

4 great discussion of methods of
 procedure followed by city planning
 commissions about the country was
 entered into at the meeting of the local planning commission in the
 mayors office at city hall yesterday afternoon. The scheme employed by
 the Springfield, Mass, commission re- ceiying particular attention as mem-
 bers of the local committee have visit ed that city and made first hand in
 vestigation into its working. After the discussion, a committee of five was appointed to make further study of the various methods.
 Chairman Saul P. Waskowitz, pre- sided at the meeting and expressed himself as being in favor of cutting down the personnel of the commits sion. He said that as 1t now stands. 1t is too large and unwieldy, contain ing a number of members who do not attend any of the meetings and who display no interest in the work. The duties of the commission as outlined in the city charter could be done by fewer men providing they were inter- ested in the work, he said, and there would. be better opportunity for CO., operation between the members. He quoted Mayor Paonessa as in favor of charter amendment reducing the size of the commission. ',.
 It was brought out that there was great deal 10 be done by. the com- mission and that it will be necessary to undertake things in a systematic manner If proper results, are to be expected. It was voted to appoint committee that will make investiga- tions and report back to the full com- mittee early in September. Chair man Waskowitz appointed F. o. Rackliffe, Harry G. Hancock. John J. Higgins and Henry s. Walter to act with him.
 Chairman Waskowits said that as soon as the commission has assembled sufficient data, it will be submitted to the city council with request for an appropriation for the carrying on of the work. An appropriation must be made If the commission Is to function, he said.
 Immediately after the adjournment the newly appointed committee was called to order and 1t was decided to get in touch with concerns engaged in city planning work, and invite them to send representatives to look over local conditions and make recommendations.

 Drawn by the hope of hearing other girl friends of Richard Loeb and Na- than Leopold, Jr.. testify at their hearing to fix punishment for abduct- ing and murdering little Robert Franks. the greatest crowd of the fften days of the hearing stormed the criminal courts building this morning.

 The defense intended to complete testimony by its lay witnesses by noon. said Mir. Darrow and then proceed with the remainder of the mental pathologists.
 Judge Caverly's bundle of sugges. tive letters this morning was con- siderably smaller than those received on preceding days. Reading one from an address nearly 15O0 miles away which urged him to bring the youths swiftly to justice. Judge Caverly said:
 This hearing has been conducted second to the swiftest of any in the history of the criminal court of Cook county. Some people seem to think I should hear the boys in the after noon. render my decision at night and have them hanged next day. It is my duty to hear evidence in mitigation and shall give all time necessary 10 hear all such evidence. It is manda- tory upon me to do so. Thousands of
