CALLED CIT FTED

CHICAGO, Dec. 3 G.N.SO.
Portrayed as an intelligent youth,
"given to day dreams" 16-year-old
Charles Bertrand Arnold, jr, was
ready to enter Criminal Court to-
day for a hearing which will de-
termine the punishment he must
undergo for having hammered his

nounced not only sane, but of a
gifted mentality by DR.. Harry
Hoffman, head of the county jail
behavior clinic, in a 7,000-word re-
port submitted to Chief Justice
John M. PryStalski.
The report declared the youth
was keenly conscious of "a feeling
of inferiority" and INDUCED in
day dreams during which he pic
tured himself in heroic and promi-
nent roles.
This, according to DR.. Hoffman,
caused emotional instability, and
the impulsive murder of his STEP
grandmother, Mrs. Ellen o. SAKE,
because she refused to let him use
her automobile, was the result Of

Many Restrictions Now I'M

Proposal Is Adopted

A plan for Federal regulation
of interstate land, water and air
transportation is under considera.
ton by the Coolidge Railroad
Commission and congressional
leaders.
1t would eliminate the Inter.
S tate Commerce Commission
which regulates the railroads ex'
clusively, and create a new Fed,
eral transportation commission
with sweeping author.vy over all
forms of interstate traffic.
Removes Rail Bans
1t also would remove many re.
Strictions now imposed on rail
roads, including repeal of the
existing ban on railroad owner
ship of shipping lines.
The investigating commission
headed by former President Cal
vim Coolidge and Alfred E. Smith
was reported to favor this plan
and may recommend it to Presi
dent Hoover.
Representatives of the commits.
sion already have discussed the
plan with congressional leaders
and found favorable sentiment
Director Is Planned
One of the plans feature is the
appointment of Federal trans.
portation director-a post some-
what similar in Importance, but
with far less authority, than that
of the wartime director general
of railroads. He would be the
executive officer for the new COM
mission.
The commission would deter
mine all matters of policy, hear
all transportation controversies,
and regulate rates. The director
would enforce all it's decisions and
mandates.
The plan was designed to
achieve two purposes: First, to
remove transportation restrictions
from the railroads, and, secondly,
to place all forms of tranSporta-
ton under a single commission.
