DECLARES MUSIC IS l
 ID CITY'S BENEFIT
Prof. 0lsson Explains Why He Tolls With Local Talent

The development of d musical consciousness. opportunity for self expression in musical art, commun- ity benefit, maintenance Of q high standard in musical appreciation, and building up the ground work for the future artistic growth of the city. were some of the reasons given by Per Olsson today when asked why go to all the trouble Of train ing a chorus of 15O voices in the production of Handels Messiah h, :" with an orchestra of 15 pieces which will be given in the First Lutheran church Friday evening
 Conductor Olsson admitted it was hard work. A rehearsal Sunday aft ernoon lasted three hours. But he said the result was worth the effort. When large chorus takes part in an event such as the production of the famed Messiah" the conductor said today, the participants cannot help receiving spiritual uplifting. This reaches to their families and friends, with the result that wide spread good is done. The result is a spontaneous interest and apprecia- , tion of the music and it's divine l meaning, he added. The commun- ity benefit is unmistakable, and eventually, when such events are re- peated often enough, something very much worth while is developed in the community, was the gist of his remarks.
 "The singers and orchestra have done splendid work" he continued. Everyone has been on their toes to make this production of the Han del masterpiece a notable achieve { ment. The chorus can render the Hallelujah chorus from memory ] and part of the chorus can sing the other numbers from memory also. It is impossible for all of them 10 sing the other numbers from mem- ory, however, because of lack of sufficient time.
 'The orchestra has done notable work. l much prefer to give such concerts with all local talent, be- cause just as soon as outside talent Is employed the good done does not center in the community. Prac- l tically all the singers and musicians are local people, and they will get as much personal good out of it as the audience, and everyone con- cerned can take pride in the fact that the event is an all-local achieve ment."

MASS. SCANDAL IS
 GAINING IMPETUS
Start Impeachment Proceedings
 Against Attorney General

Boston. Feb. 2s (uP)-Sensa- tional new developments gave new impetus today to the move to i'm peach Massachusetts attorney gen. eral.
 Discovery of missing documents, loss of which a month ago in Attor- ney General Arthur K. Readings of flee caused one of the most import ant of the Worcester county "catue fraud" cases to be moi pressed, has created stir at the state house.
 Legislators met today for the ap- pointment of a committee to inves- tigate Readings conduct in office. Speaker John c. Hull of the house was to appoint the committee un- der the provisions of the redrafted Sawyer order, passed unanimou by the house of representatives yes- terday.
 Representative Roland D. Sawyer, the Cape Cod clergyman who draft ed the original order. issued a state- ment in which he said yesterdays discovery bore out his belief there had been "inefficiency or worse" in the attorney generals office.
 Within one hour after the order passed the house the missing cattle fraud papers. which rumors said were lost and which were one of the cumulative instances which I had in mind at the hearing, showing inef- ficiency or worse in the attorney generals office, were reported as discovered.
 The committee which will be ap- pointed today will sift charges that Readings connection with the Decimo club. 8 national collective buying organization of alleged ques- tionable legality. was 0 hindrance to proper conduct In office, that he received Q $25,000 retainer from the club less than a week after report ing it favorably in this state and that he used his influence to obtain favorable report in New. York state.
 The committee. under the order, will examine all of the attorney generals acts since taking office. Should evidence of malfeasance in office be found and the committee so report to the legislature. an inn peachment would result. Friends of Reading have urged upon him the desirability of resign. ing to save himself the possible ignominy of such trial. The young official has stubbornly refused. how ever, and today was finishing pre- parations for his defense before the committee.
 Reading has flatly refused to re- sign and has announced his inten- tion to fight impeachment. He has defended his right to engage i'll private practice while holding of- flee and termed charges his connec- tion with the Decline club was culpa- ble "absurd."

SYRACUSE MAYOR
 BACKS AVIATION
Declares It Has Grown Beyond
 the Circus Stunt Days

Albany. N. Y. Feb. 2s CP)- Aviation has passed the era of cir GUS acrobatics," Mayor Charles c. Hanna of Syracuse said today in his report to the New York state con- ference of mayors on the work of the New York state aviation confer ence.
 Comparing aerial traffic expansion in European cor ntries with that in the United States. Hanna said "One of the basic causes for America g lethargy In the development of avia- ton was the aloof attitude of the federal governn ent until two years ago." '
 "As long as ordinary protective control was withheld from aviation" :" the mayor said. Tit could not help but suffer. Pilots without licenses flew planes which never had been properly inspected: hundreds of crashes resulted; insurance rates shot skyward: financial interests were wary of supporting the new industry. and the public came to re- gard aviation as a dangerous sport and the atrplane as a stunt machine whose chief function was to thrill people at country fairs.'
 But a change of attitude is taking place. attributable largely to the confidence inspired by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Hanna continued. He said the conference has found cer- tain well-defined needs, namely:
 "A sound machine-sound aero- dynamically as well as structurally.
 "A reliable ehgine of sufficient power, ..,- s4
 "Mrports and emergency landing fields sufficiently close together.
 Adequately lighted and charted airways.
 Specialized weather forecasts, preferably in national system."
 Hanna predicted aviation "is des- tined to be as important to the in- dustrial and con mercial life of the nation as the railroad. the automo. bile, radio and the telephone"
 Tt is up to us in official and semi official positions of influence tc carry on where Colonel Lindbergh left off and give the youngster prop CT guidance. sane control and sound aid," he concluded.

WARNS Of DECLINE
 IN HIGH SCHOOLS
AcAndsx Says Effort Must B
 Made to Deliver Goods

Boston, Feb. 29 (UP)-Dr. Will liam lfcAndrew, former superinten- dent of schools in Chicago, speaking before the department of superin- tendence at the National Educational Association convention. last night, warned superintendents of the de- cline of ''our magnificent high schools. unless an honest effort to deliver the goods was made"
 Nearly 5000 public school heads and teachers rose to their feet and gave McAndrew a tremendous ova- tion when he entered the platform. McAndrew was the center of the Pro British school text" war in Chicago, instigated by Mayor Will liam c. Thompson. which resulted in the deposing of McAndreV.
 McAndrew did not refer to his troubles in Chicago with Mayor Thompson. but proceeded to tell the superintendent of the faults of the present high schools.
 McAndrew was of the opinion that the attack on secondary schools made by President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard. Monday. might possibly be somewhat justified, and suggested that active, honest super vision by the principals" was the only solution to the problem.
 ''The principal and the superinten- dent must get down to work" Mo- Andrew said, ''and deliver. the goods. What are the goods? Jacob Gould shurmann said. The great est function of the secondary school
 is to deliver citizens who know their duties and who will knowingly perform them If they don't do that, the Chamber of Commerce, the Lowells. the mayors and gov- eriors will succeed in their protests about the costs, and our magnificent high schools will follow in the tracks of Napoleon the little to some Be- dan."

Death Car Occupants Guilty,
 Court Rules

Bridgeport, Feb. 20 R)-William F. Mc1nerney. 73. of Norwalk and Howard R. Hatch, 22, of South port were sentenced to jail for 90 days each by Judge Newell Jen- nings in superior court today when they pleaded guilty to charges of operation of a motor vehicle 90 q to cause death." resulting in the death of Robert Thomas, 27. of Norwalk.
 In presenting the cases to the court, States Attorney William H. Comley declared that the death Of the youthful companion of Hatch and McInerney on drunken joy rides did not make quite the appeal to a sense of outraged justice as when innocent people were killed by drunken drivers"
 The accused were held responsi- ble by Coroner J. J. Phelan for the death of their companion. which occurred October 25. 1927. Another occupant of the automobile was Clifford Wemett. 24, of Lima, N. Y., who was seriously burned in . fire which followed the overturning of the car. Attorney Comley, in ad- dressing tho court, said. "The death of Thomas technically at least was caused by the criminal act of the accused. The deceased, however. could scarcely be called an innocent victim"
 The states attorney asked for . jail sentence, declaring that 'the arm of the police. who are trying to rid the highways of this in- tolerable nuisance. the drunken driver. would be paralyzed if these men did not 70 to jail"

REED TELLS ABOUT HIS CONFESSION
Says Prosecutor Promised Him
 Immunity

Ottawa, H.. Feb. :s R-Hiram Reed took the witness stand at his trial here today to convince the court that his confession to dynamit- ing the Pleasant Valley school house was obtained under coercion and through misrepresentation of the states attorney.
 The bushy-haired farmer did not glance at his former sweetheart, Miss lola Bradford, who was nearly killed when the school stove ex. ploded.
 When you signed that confession the morning of Dec. what did the states attorney tell you?" asked At torney George Sprenger.
 He said that if I married lola Bradford she could not testify against me-" Reed replied.
 The clause reads: If marry lola Bradford before the next grand jury meets. this confession will not be used against me-"
 The defense holds that States Attorney Russell o. Ranson after obtaining the confession called 8 special session of the grand jury and obtained the indictment against the young man, accused of attempting to avoid fatherhood and marriage with the young teacher by placing dynamite in the school stove
 Reed testified that he would not sign the confession until the states attorney put the immunity clause in 1t.
 What did you understand when you signed that statement?" asked Spreneer.
 T understood would be freed of all charges. be permitted to marry the girl and there would be no pub- licity."
 The jury did not hear any of the testimony. which was for the pur- post of permitting Judge Trank Hayes to decide as to tho Aomis- sibility of the confession.
