New York, Dec P,-Six insane criminals, one d murderer and an- other pyromanlaC, were hunted in New York city today few hours after their escape early this morn ing from the Mattewawan hospital for the criminal insane near Beacon N, Y.
 Shortly after midnight three arm- cd men overpowered four employees of the asylum, summoned the six inmates from their beds and car- rled them away in two motor cars.
 Goes to Wife's Home
 About 5;30 a. m. Mrs. Frank Nanderkuylen heard a pounding on the door Of her apartment in West Fifty-Third street and answered the intruder. He said he was her hus- band. one Of the six fugitives, and demanded admission. Frightenad she refused to unbar the door and called Superintendent Kieb of the asylum. By the time New York po- lice were notified Nanderkuylen was gone.
 This and another circumstance convinced kieb and New York po- lice that the men were hiding here. Several weeks ago Harry Gordon. SS, RoChestcr's mad butcher" who was in the criminal asylum for the staying three years ago Of two busi- ness rivals and the voundng of two more, was visited by his wife. He told her, Mir, Kieb said, I'll get out of here some day if I can, and when I do I'll take a boat for Poland right away"
 Piers Arc Watched
 Mrs. Gordon told Of the incident today, and the district attorney Of Monroe county, to whom she re- ported it, tipped New York police at once to watch the steamship piers

RADCLIFFE SCORES
 HARVARD STUDENTS
Girls Say Cambridge Youths EHeIninate and Weak Fellows
CALLED HOMELY IN TURN
social Psychology Tests Bring Out tncomplimcntary Comments on Dartmouth's Big Rough and Ready" Jndergrads.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. (UP)- Among other uncomplimentary things, the composite Harvard stu dent is weak, affected and effemi- nate, if the opinions Of his con- temporaries at Radcliffe and Dart mouth are sound.
 Tests in advanced psychology, taken at Harvard, Dartmouth and Radcliffe, offered students at those institutions d chance 10 express their estimates of the typical stu dent at each of the colleges. In ad- dition, Yale was the subject of an estimate but was given no oppor- tunty to reciprocate The tests were under supervision of Professor Cor don W. Allport Of Harvard and Radcliffe and Professor J, E, Ben der of Dartmouth.
 Dartmouth "NiriIc" Type
 The Harvard picture of the typi- cal Dartmouth man shows another uncomplimentdry extreme. Accord ing to Harvard, the Dartmouth stu dent is something like this:
 He is rah-rah. wah hoo wah collcgian, thinks himself heap big rough fellow is athletic, alcoholic, crude. uncultiyated. eXtravagant or wealthy, poor scholar. has large physique. wears shorts. green sweat cr and a fur coat and likes the outdoors"
 Tho Dartmouth students have a yirle opinion of themselves. They assayod themselves as follows:
 The typical Dartmouth student is q hc-man, democratic, athletic, vigorous, rough ready, highly scXed. and seX-starved."
 F'ifty-tivc Harvard students rated themselves this way:
 Harvard mon are indifferent, blase, indolcnt, conceited, snobbish, independent. individual, intellectual cultured, sophisticated, and cosmo- politan. They speak with accent. wear old clothes, and usually come from old families"
 Radcliffe's Broadsidc
 The Radcliffe estimate Of liar ward coincided with Harvard's self opinion very closely. It went like this:
 "Thcy arc intellectual. conceited, snobbish. indifferent, poseuL quiet. earnest, bespectacled, tndiyidhahstic. well-mannered and good fun. They usually dress sloppily or wear sport clothes"
 Harvard men think Of Radcliffe girls as "homely, studlous, intelloa- tual, sophisticated, cducation- con- scjous, stuck-up, desires 10 he CO., cd. apes Harvard, and wears 1lorn- trimmed glasses and low heels"

 The four men arc:
 John Sfarzo. 55; Anthony Salina, 4o; Nick salina, 22; Aidon Salina, 21, all of Long Island City. The re lationship of the last three was not determined.
 Rescued Blinded Men
 The factory was owned by Nose Deliscio of Wetmore road, Darien. and was located about l , yards from his home, He was outside the build ing when he heard q slight cXplo- sion and saw the flame. Rushing in to the building he led the four out, all blinded. He walked them to his house and called Stamford and Daricn police and the Stamford hospital. The Stamford police sent an ambulance as did the Stamford hospital.
 Deliscio said that Sfarzo told him he was loading a fancy set piece with an explosive called blue star.' For some undetermined reason the material exploded in his hand, De- hscio said. The piece was dropped landing in a pile of 75 pounds of the blue star" The stuff ignited inn mediately and the four men. work ing close together, were showered with ii. The building was set afro in number of places at the same time.
