 CAKE FLOATS TO DEATH
Re>cuers Fail in Attempt to Reach Youngster Adrift in Lake
 Erie,

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 20 tP)-An unidentified boy on a bobbing cake of ice in Lake Erie was the object of a frantic search by rescue work CTS today.
 Little hope was held for rescue of the youth. last seen beating his arms against his sides 10 keep off the numbing cold as the foe upon which he stood iloated into the darkness last night.
 Throughout the night the fire tug John A. Farley, equipped with powerful searchlights. plowed through the ice searching for the foe of ice and its beacons to guide the youth should the course of the floe veor toward solid ice, but no trace of him was found.
 Early in the night watchers had trailed him along the shore as coast suardsmen and police tried in vain to lauach rescue boats. Thin ice gave way under the weight of row boats or banked flocs reached jag ged heights which made launching impossible.
 Coast guardsmcn pointed out that the ice upon which the boy stood might have broken up, and declared that even should it drift shorcWard he was in danger of being crushed. Dropping temperatures added 10 tho danger and it was feared that he might have slipped into the icy wa ter after losing his precarious foot ing on the ice.
 Efforts to learn the identity of the youth were fruitless. Police report cd no one missing. The reason for his being on the ice also was un- known. An experienced skater, po- lice declared would hardly venture far out on the ice because Of warm weather and two days of rain, which melted much of it.

SCIENCE GUARDS
 RIGHT AND WRONG
Doctor Sees Invention Protecting
 Society and Crime

Washington. Nov 3 UP)- science must protect the criminal rom society and society from the crlnlnal. both at the bar of justice and when prisoner has served his term, the national crime commission conference Was told today.
 The day of the so-called eypert in criminal trials is past" declared LIT. Frank Wood F. Williams, medi- cal director Of the national commit tee for mental hygiene. Judges he said must fit punishment to the crlmlnal rather than to the crime and to do this must have more facts than they can obtain through the expert witness hypothetical oues- ton and medico-l legal duellins over such words as insanity 'responsi- hlilty or other metaphysical spec ulations.'
 There is no more difficult uues- lion to solve than the mental status. mental mechanism or capabilities Of prisoner, and thebearing these may or may not have upon his con- duct and the possibility of his re- Mobilization" Dr. Williams said.
 "All the resources Of modern psy- chiatry and psychology are neces- sary. and theseshould be available to the court through the possibility of appointment of psychatrists from qualified lists who shall be given opportunity for thorough psychia- trlc examination, using such aids as clinics and hospitals, with obliga- tory written reports and a remuner- atlon from public funds. This pro- cess allows Of no letting off of prisoners on the ground of an actual or supposed 'irresponsiblty'.
 Dr. Clair Wilcox of Swarthmore college, noted for his study of the American prison parole system, said It is as important for society and the criminal to be protc ccted against each other after the prisoner serves his term as it is before the man is sentenced.
 He advocated prison labor fitting a man to resume responsibility are hls release. Scientific data based on individual cases should determine what work man should do in pris- on. whether he should be released, and what restrictions should be placed on him during parole. Wilcox said.
 Vastly more men. highly trained. should be appointed to see that a discharged prisoner lives up to his parole and gets a new start in life, the professor added.

COLLEGE BASEBALL
 AFFECTING LEAGUE
New Boston Braves Manager
 Voices Opinion

Boston, Nov. 3 UP)-Collese baseball is exerting a marked influ- nee on the big league game, but in the form of players. not in the ,Fstem of play John Thomas Jack" Siattery, new Boston Braves man ger, believes.
 Appointment of Slattery, for the 'ast three years Boston college base t,ll coach, 10 succeed Dave Bancroft
 > Braves pilot, was announced late sesterday by President Emil E. .uchs of the club.
 More and more, college men are going in for major league baseball" !" Slattery told the United Press today. 'I think it is almost safe to say that a majority of present big league players have had some college train- ing.
 But because of this fact it should not be assumed that major league baseball is becoming collegiate. Far from it. There is as much difference between the major league game and the college game of today as there is between the major league game and the minor leaguegame."
 Slattery expressed the opinion that college training was very bene- flcial to man who contemplated entering the big leagues.
 "The least we can say is that 1t does him no harm," Slattery declar- ed.
 The new manager said he did not expect to "collegize" professional baseball. but he thought that "my experience as a college coach, com bined with my previous experience in the big league, should give me all excellent perspective"
 When I went to Boston College I sought 10 give the college game the professional technique" he said. Returning 10 the professional game it obviously would be folly for me to try to give It the collegiate touch. Professional baseball is on such a high plane that if has vir- tually nothing to learn from the college system of play"
 For the past six years, Slattery has served as scout for the Braves and he pointed to the fact that his new appointment actually meant merely continuance of his work in a diff ferent capacity.
 Asked what he hoped 10 accom- plish with the Braves next season, Slattery said:
 '1ts far too early to make any predictions. We will go to work and hope for the best"

Evangelical Presbyterian Calls
 Match "UnethiCaI"

Bonn, Germany. Nov. Pl- The Evangelical Presbyterian church has refused a permit for the use of its building here for the forthcoming marriage of Princess Victoria Schaumberg-Lippe, year-old sis ter of the former kaiser, and Alex ander Zoubkoff. young Russian ref ugee.
 The church regards the match as "unethical' because Of the disparity of ages between the princess and her 27-year-old fance, while it is understood that former Kaiser Will liam, as chief Of the Hohenzollern house. has declined to give his con- sent to the marriage.
 The wedding. which has been an nounced for Nov. IS, will be a quiet affair at the brides home. While the couple hope that the marriage nical snags in connection with the publication Of the bans make even this date problematical. At the of flee of the license clerk it was thought that the marriage may be delayed until Nov. o4 as certain pa pers must be sent to Berlin.
