SYNTHETIC AGE IS NOT YET HERE
Scientific Substitution of Natur-
 al Resources Impossible

Williamstown, Mas, Aug, 19 H)-- The oft-heralded era of scientific substitution of natural resources is not yet at hand. the institute of politics was told today.
 H. Foster Bain, New York matal- mrglst, warned that scientic "magi- clans, dazzling us with a promise of a synthetic age, were dealing in futures" the present value of sub stances chemists have produced to take the place Of necessities, he de- clared, was practically nil.
 He pointed out that substitution and synthesis require some sort of preparation and manufacture, both of which may absorb power, and while there need be no alarm felt as to the amount of power latent in the coal fields of the world, he said, Ut should be remembered that get ting the bucket of coal with which ultimatel yto light the beautiful Christmas tree involves work and draft on the coal pile.
 Control of natural resources of standard grade Is the best present asurance of stability and success in- dustry can now have" he said.

CLEAN UP CANTON

hellett Murder Investigators Uncover Extreme Corruption

Cleveland, Aug. ls P,-With in yestisation of liquor and narcotic conditions in Canton taking pre- cedence with federal authorities over the probe into the killing of Don R. Mellett, publisher District Attorney A. E. Bernsteen today or dered his assistant. Howell Leuck, to "clean up Canton," at the same time he questioned Norman E. Clark, Canton attorney, arrested for viola tion of the federal prohibition law.
 New warrants in the case depend. Bernsteen indicated, upon his sue cess to obtain new information from Clark, who was implicated by Louis Mazer, held here for violation of the federal prohibition laws, and for whom a murder warrant has been issued at Canton, the latter charging the attorney had, while police pro- secutor, received bribes, signed f1cti- tious bonds for members of the un- derworld and had on several occa- sions received liquor from Mazer.
 After questioning Clark, Bern steen plans to withdraw entirely from the inquiry.
 Federal authorities, through I.euck, are concerned primarily with the vice conditions in Canton. while Canton investigators are proceeding on the murder case.
 Clark knows great deal and can tell us much about conditions in Canton. If he only will" Bernsteen said. "I talked with him yesterday and am satisfied he will talk"
 Joseph R. Roach, Chicago "clean- up" attorney, is expected to remain in Canton from now on. centerlng his activities into finding the slayer of Mellett.

CITY PLAYING SAFE
 ON CARNIVAL LAW
Council May Not Be Able
 Legally to Pass Ban

Inquiry today into the reason the ordinance committee of the common council did not present an ordinance prohibiting the playing of carnivals in New Britain at the August coun- Gil meeting last night brought to light the fact that consideration is being given to the possibility of such an ordinance being unconsti- tutional.
 At the July meeting, the council instructed the committee to present the ordinance at last nights meeting and the opposition to carnivals is so strong among the council members that there was no question the ordi- nance would have been adopted. No mention was made of it, however.
 It was learned today that some procedure other than ordinance provision may be necessary to pro- hibit carnivals. It is said the city. under it's police power. can forbid carnivals or the common council can constantly vote down every applica- tion and compel the applicants to act in court to show why licenses should be issued. That carnival companies would go to this end to said in official circles. because of the expense and delay that would fol- low.
 Assistant Corporation Counsel M H. Camp said he has given consid- eration to the possible unconstitu- tionality of the proposed ordinance and there appears to be a question although he has not gone into it deeply enough to pass an opinion. Other lawyers who were spoken to relative to the question today agreed that fight might be waged on the ground of unconstitutionality of such an ordinance but they pointed out that in the event that the city did not wish to invite test case on the matter. there are other means available. If this city or any other city does not want to license car nivals, the carnival people may as well reconcile themselves 10 remain ing away because they cannot sue cossfully fight a municipality" one lawyer remarked.
 It is known that New Britain iS tn best carnival city in Conuecti- Ct from the standpoint of the com panes. Absence of parks having merry go-round. dance pavilions and similar amusements, together with the cosmopolitan makeup of tNe city's population are said to be the reasons for the popularity of car nivals here. Despite the fact that Hartford and other cities charge n negligible license fee in contrast tt the fee collected here, carnival com panies prefer New Britain to any other place in the state.
