"The further proposed change

need of it.
"In the present period of
rapid flux, when morals are
changing, when broad human
values are icing rapidly re-
vised, a certain measure Of
conservatism would seem to be
part of the biological herit-
age of seneScent man."

This, of course, would apply to
an aged radical like Bernard
Shaw, as we'll as to an aged con-
formist to all popular beliefs OF

A young radical, however, is
different from /. young conserVa'
tive, the doctor found in a study
of the 80 most radical and the
80 most conservative students in
a group of 225.
Here he found that the young
radicals thought quicker, learned
quicker, were faster at work jobs
and faster in simple reaction
tests than their conservative girl
and men classmates.
This led him to the conclusion
that much conservatism, at least,
was due to Slow-WittednesS.

Prohibition enforcement un d S
today faced a so per cent slash
for the next fiscal year, following
an agreement between Director of
the Budget Lewis Douglas and At
torney General Homer S. Cum

Because of the reduction of vio-

had agreed to operate the Justice
Department for $3.50, ,050 less than
the appropriation fixed by Con-

Cummings said:
"A little more than half of the
savings will come from the pro-
hibitiOn enforcement fund. Con.
greSS fixed that sum at $S,4OO,-
600, but we will reduce that
figure to $4,3OO,OOO."
The Attorney General said plans

CIGARS ANDCO|N

PLOT CLUE
Eight Sticks of Dynamite and
NitrogIycerine Found; Agents
Of U. S. Work on Case

WATCHING, N. j., June % a.
N.SO two cigars, one part
ly smoked, and five-cent piece
as their only clues, police today
pressed a search for a would-be
assassin or assassins who placed a
dynamite bomb in the automoblle
of Representative Charles A.
Eaton (R.) of the Fifth New Jer'
sey district.
The bomb was discovered, and
the Congressman's life probably
saved, by the alertness OF Joseph
Ballonton, an employe, who dis
covered the Internal machine
when he went to investigate a
noise in the Eaton garage.
8 Dynamite Sticks
Ballonton, who has living quar-
ters on the second floor of the
garage, was aroused by a noise,
he told police, and went to in
vestigate. About to return to
his rooms, he noticed the cigars
and the coin.
STOPPING to pick them up, he
saw the bomb, a cylindrical affair
containing eight sticks Of dyna-
mite and phial of nitroglycerine
under the drivers seat.
The internal machine, said to
have been powerful enough to
have blown up the entire build
ing, was wired to a spark plug
and grounded to the car frame.
Ballonton ripped it from the
automobile, doused it in water,
and summoned Representative
Eaton and police.
Work of a Crank
The bomb, police said, had
been placed in a short interval
between the time Representative
Eaton returned home from Lake
Hopatcong, N. j., and its dis
covery by Ballonton.
The Congressman was at loss
to account for the projected
attempt on his life and laid it to
the work of a crank.
Representative Eaton, a former
clergyman and editor and a
cousin of Cyrus Eaton. Cleveland
industrialist, said he had no
enemies, but it was disclosed that
his office in the House Building
in Washington had been under
guard recently when two men
called seeking him and declining
to state their business.
Agents of the Department Of
Justice were expected to arrive
here today to join in the
| Investigation.

FACES COURT

SAN JOSE, Calf, June %
G.N.SO.-The strange Lamson
murder case really starts today.
David A. Lamson, slender STAN
ford University publishing house
executive, will be arraigned on an
information charging him with
the mysterious Stanford Univer-
sity campus bathtub murder OF
his pretty wife, Allene, bludgeoned
to death Memorial Day.
His recent hearing before a
justice of the peace was merely
to ascertain if there was enough
evidence to warrant an informa-
tion-a formal charge - being
placed against him in Superior
Court.
Thus the machinery Of the law
is now in motion and will grind
away through the filing Of the
information, the arraignment, the
entering of a plea, and finally
the trial before a jury to deter
mine if the States demand for
the Stanford mans execution on
the gallows shall be needed or
found to be unwarranted.
When the plea is entered,
Judge r. r. Syer will set the trial
date, probably early in August.

The amendment, how yer, was|
adopted.
Would Raise Standard
Speaking in favor Of the amend

Senator Matthaei was voted down
after Greene expressed opposition to
changes at this late date which would
