SCIENTIFIC ATTACK

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. October al
q scientific attack on the causes OF
depression and unrest from a new angle
was visualized today by DR.. Ralph D.
Hetzel. president of the Pennsylvania
State College.
The attack win be made, he said
through the work OF the newly created
Greater Pennsylvania Council, OF which
DR.. Hetzel Is chairman The council
starts with an opportunity for pro-
noting social and economic improve
ment like that which came I'm pro-
motion OF education 20 years ago 10 the
Immigrant colleges. which now are
great State universities.
Plans Scientific Methods.
Backed by Gov. Clifford Pinchot, DR..
Hetzel said, the council plans to use
"a scientific method Of approach" to
such practical problems as recreation,
industrial improvement, shifts in farm
ing and effects OF mass movements Of
the population.
Scientists in Pennsylvania colleges
and those engaged in industry and in
the State government will be called
upon 10 develop facts useful TO the
average citizen who is in difficulty be-
cause he does not know how or why
his previously satisfactory mode of life
has been changed
Just as the farmer. the induStrialist
and the business man now goes TO a
State university for scientific aid in
solving his problems, the council plans
TO make similar facilities available for
handling problems which have been
hitherto outside the scope Of educa-
tional and scientific institutions
viii Avoid Duplication.
All the factors which go to relieve
an economic depression, said DR.. Het-
eel. are within the aim OF the councils
research, although 1t is not the intent
simply to seek remedies for depression.
Neither is 1t proposed that the council
attempt to cover the ground already
cared for by other organizations and
as sncies The newly authorized coun-
Gil is not yet fully organized. 1t will
have a membership of $50 business
men. industrial and agricultural lead
ers, and an Executive Committee of Is.
These members will submit problems
dealing with the welfare and develop
ment of the resources OF Pennsylvania
and will decide which ones may best
be acted upon. Immediate direction
of the studies Is in the hands OF DR..

tary of the Commonwealth.

New York state Athletic commission
has turned thumbs down on a heavy
weight bout between Primo Camera

would be a 'step-ladder'' match.
Listen to William Muldoon on the
subject:
I'm the future we will insist that
heavyweights must be well matched
physically as well as in other re-
spects. Camera should fight men
his own size like Victoria CampolO,
Arthur De Kuh, and Jose Santa. We
don't want any more step-ladder
matches, where one OF the principals
needs a soap box to reach the others
chin. I was against the Walker
Sharkey match for that matter and
only approved 1t against my better
judgment"
Camera and Uzcudun were match
ed for a ten rounder at Madison
Square Garden Nov. 10 for a theatre
cal charity sponsored by Daniel
Frohman. Uzcudun. despite his lack
OF height. gave Primo a close battle

after a much publicized prep-school

Last year he played with the var

for practice this week, someone ask
