CHEMISTS TESTIFY
 IN TRADE ACTION
Suit Against Marion Tool Works
 Being Heard

Hartford, May 25 RNCharles L. W. Petty. Hartford chemist, and G. Richard Perkins. chemist. who three years ago was associated with MT. Petty, were witnesses yesterday at hearing in the petit jury room of the federal court held by the fed eral trade commission in an action against the Marion Tool Works, in corporated, of Marion. Ind.
 The federal trade commission charges the Marion company, sub sidiary of the Chicago Railway Equipment company, manufacturers of creosote steel tools, stamps and labels them as such. and in so do- ing is using infair methods of com petition. It is charged the goods are misbranded and labeled. and false and misleading representations have been made in advertising in claim ing the tools to be made of steel. whereas, the commission claims. the tools arc composed of metal other than steM.
 The defendant company has been manufacturing tools under the trade name of 'Crecoite Steel Tools" for about five years. and denies the all legations of false and misleading Statements and representations and holds that its products are produced from mixture capable of producing finished tools better than those on the market and classed as steel, and should be classed as steel.
 The hearings before the commis- sion were started in Washington last Wedpesday and were continued to yesterday at Hartford for the taking of the testimony of MT. Petty and MT. Perkins. The hearing at Wash ington is to be resumed. It is un- derstood the Hartford angle of, the case developed from the submission by a customer of Mir. Petty. of an axe head, and the analytical report then given was that the product was not steel, but rather was malleable iron. This report. later got to the federal trade commission and re- suited in subpoenas being issued for the Hartford men to testify before the commission. The testimony was brought about yesterday, more than three years after the analysis had been made.

OPPOSITE VIEWS
 ON INDIANA LAW
Governors Whiskey Action
 Praised, Also Condemned

New York. May 25 (UP)-The law of Indiana forbidding the use Of liauor for medicinal purposes met both praise and criticism in New York today.
 The law was brought to public attention by letter to Governor Ed Jackson of Indiana from Arthur l.. Gilliom, attorney general of that state. Gilliom said the governor and himself both had violated the law in the last IS months to save members of their families from death after physicians prescribed whiskey.
 Both the governor and the a, torney general did wrong" the Rev. John Roach Straton. fundamentalist leader, said. They should have permitted the members of their families to die and have died them selves rather than violate their oaths of office. An officer of the law swears to support the law. and his family interests should not cut the slightest figure once he has taken the oath.
 T challenge the whole proposi- tion of liquor for healing. Those who read their Bible know that God has promised to heal, Mrs. straton and myself have raised five healthy children without the use of a sin gle bit Of whiskey. But granting that whiskey has some curative value. the law in Indiana has saved so many more lives than have been lost through it that the balance Is all on it's side.'
 Opposite View
 The Rev. Guy Emory Simpler, edi- tor of the Churchman, leading lib- eral organ of the Episcopal church, disagreed with Rev. Straton.
 The law that takes out of the hands of scientific and medical men an instrument for the saving of hu- man life. is. in my opinion. both stupid and vicious" Rev. Shipper said
 The governor and attorney general were justified, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. president of Columbia uni versity. said. He cited his speech in Baltimore May condemning the eighteenth amendment as "the prim- ary source of the lawlessness and contempt for law that now prevails throughout the land.'
 Representative La Guardia of New York said the governor and attor- ney general should be indicted.
 This would show several we'll meaning people how ridiculous such q law as the Indiana statue is." he said.
 The Rev. Christian r. Reisner, prominent dry. said:
 If it really was a matter of life and death no law should stand in the way of procuring liquor."
