YALE LAW COURSE
 FOR SENIORS ENDS
Will Abolish Custom Alter
 A9reemeat Is Reached

New Haven, Doc. II KeThe Yale law school and Yale college have agreed that the combined course in the law school heretofore open to college seniors shall bs abclished. the Yale Daily News said today. AL though this acton takes effect with tho opening Of tho academic year 1e2s-3o. . special provtsto will be made for members of the class of 80 who nave planned to enroll in the combined course.
 The provision will allow these stu- dents to be admitted to law school if they have an average of 300 for th1ee years in college or for junior year. if they arc recommended by the dean. and If they comply with the formalities of application re- quired of college graduates
 Shortfns Course
 The combined course has been a method of shortening the law school course without sacrificing a college degree. Through 1t 'an increasing number of men have in their senior year devoted their entire time to law school work. The reason given for the abolishment of the law course to college seniors Is that the college has not felt that this arrangement was entirely satisfactory wishing to have it's students spend four years on cul- tural subjects before taking up pro- fessional study.

INSANITY BUNK
 N0RTHC07T SAYS
Repudiates It w Method Of De-
 fense for Murdcr

Los Angeles, Dec. 13 (UP) - Gordon Stewart Northcott's repudia- tion of an insanity defense as be- ing 'the bunk" has added another strange event to the puzzIins actions of the youth since prosecution be- gan in connection with the staying of Walter Collins and a Mexican youth on his chicken farm near Riverside.
 Northcott was returned to the county jail here after he and his mother, Mrs. Louisa Northcott, pleaded not guilty in Riverside to the Collins murder for which they were jointly indicted.
 After the arraignment, when mother and son met for the first time since Mrs. Northcott was re- turned from Canada, Mrs. Northcott said her son must be insane if he made the statements accredited to him.
 Is Different
 "If he signed that he is insane!" she exclaimed when shown North COIL WIttcu CouICootOh lo tAC murder of the Mexican boy named as Alvin Gothea. "He is so differ ent and cold from the boy I knew"
 When told of his mothers words. Northcott appeared incensed.
 I'm sick and tired Of this insani- ty talk" he muttered to his guards, Deputy Sheriffs Croushorn and Brewster, while en route here from Riverside. This insanity stuff is the bunk and I'll permit no such defense"
 Although Northcott made no ref erence to his charges Of brutal treat ment at tho hands of Los Angeles county officers when he appeared in the Riverside court. the charge was hinted in another unsuccessful at- tempt by Norbert savay. Northcott's counsel. to have the youth trans- ferred to the custody Of Riverside county officers.
 The motion was denied by Judge o. K. Morton when Deputy District Attorney Earl Redwine told the court Northcott was under the ob- servation of alienists here.

The combined course was insti- tuted when the law school wished to make . special appeal to Yale men. It can no longer be justified on that ground: for of the 2s7 college grad uates in the school. 12t arc from Yale college or the Sheffield scienti- fic school. The law school has also been desirous of reducing the num- Der Of its student body to manage able proportions. In addition since Yale men only were allower to enter the law school without college de- grees, there has been . certain ele- ment of unfairness in the treatment of students from other universities.

The court room scene in Riverside apparently was a trying one for Mrs. Northcott-
 Acknowledge Meeting
 When ushered into Judge Nor tons court, Northcott and his moth CT acknowledged their meeting after separation of two months with only a slight nod. Mrh Northcott assumed an air of indifference that vanished after the arraignment when she pleaded Tor a few min utes alone with my boy" The re- quest was denied.
 The states case against Northcott and his mother for the murder of Walter Collins is based almost en- tirely on the story tf Sanford Clark. Northcott's IS year old nephew. who told of the Lo- Angeles boys a"eEed murder at the hands of the pair on Northcott's chicken ranch. The body has not been found.
 After an interview with North colt. Mrs. Christine Collins. mother of the boy believed slain. expressed belief that Walter was still alive.

S.4 ID BE SUNK
 FOR MANY TESTS
.M-Fatd Ship Will Co Down
 Again Saturday

New London. Conn. Dec. 13 (UP) The salvaged submarine s. will be sunk for science some time after Saturday, it was announced here to- day
 When the S-4 was rammed and sunk off Provincetown, Mass. just q year ago next Monday. it carried 70 men to an ocean grave.
 When the S-4 is sunk in Long 1s- land sound this time. navy officers expect to test devices and methods of rescue and salvage that will make aster negligible.
 Without Crew
 According to announced plans, the stripped. motorless hulk of the one- time deadly war boat will be sunk without a crew about two miles off Bartlett's reef, 12 miles from here. The ballast tanks and motor room will be flooded from the outside. The tanks will be filled until the boat weighs slightly more than the water and sinks slowly to the bottom. 60 feet down.
 Then will begin the task Of rais- ing the submersible by new methods expected to prove easier than any yet employed.
 The navy will put into action it's salvage force. just as it did when 40 lives were at stake at Provincetovn. Several of the same divers who worked on the S-l and S-51 jobs will be employed in the present tests, 1t was said.
 Pad Eye" Test
 The chief purpose of the proposed trials Is to test the pad eyes" that have been built into the sides Of the S-4 since 1t was salvaged and made a submersible laboratory of safety devices. It is hoped that pontoons may be hooked to the eyes and the boat raised in much less time than the present system of tunneling through the mud and singing chains around the hull requires. Test of the lung" and air lock probably will be postponed until the 'S-4 goes to Key West, Fla, where the warm water will be more favor- able to experimenters. The lung is a temporary diving apparatus re- sembling a gas mask in appearance. The wearer may breath under water for about 20 minutes. long enough to reach the surface after he has escaped from the submarine by means of the air lock.
 Although no official announce ment has been made. it was under stood that tests of the private sub marine "Defender" may be post poned until later. Tentative plans called for the Defender to come here for a demonstration of its claimed ability to conduct rescue and salvage work from the sea-bot- tom. Dec. B.
 Is Inspected
 The s-4 inspected this morning by Admiral Frank B. Upham. comman- der of the control force. Lieutenant Commander P. H. Dunbar super- intendent of safety tests, Lieutenant Ralph Skylstead. aide to the ad- miral, and Lieutenant Charles B. Momson. inventor of the lung.
 It was announced that guard rails would be built around the coming tower of the S-4 to protect it against the crushing force of the swaying : pontoons during the raising. It is expected that building of the guard rails will take at least two days.
