MADISON, Wis, March 23.-With
one state hospital superintendent
resigned and a score of medical and
staff attendants under suspension.
Wisconsin citizens who have consid-
cred the conduct of their states
penal and charitable institutions a
model for the country today rubbed
their eyes in amazement at recent
revelations.
Official investigating groups have
reported crueltieS causing several
deaths among patients in state in
sane hospitals, and virtual burial
alive" in the hospital for criminally
insane of persons whose records
do not warrant their incarceration
in such a place.
The superintendent of the North
ern State Hospital for the Insane
at Oshkosh resigned under fire last
month and the revelations of leg
islative investigating committee re-
suited in suspensions for his staff
members.
Criminal action was under way
today against one attendant charged
with choking patient to death and
the committee reported to Governor
Albert G. Schmedeman that it be
lleved that five other deaths in the
Oshkosh institution we're due to in
human treatment.
The head of the state board of
control which is in direct charge of
all penal and charitable institutions
Of the state succeeded in barring a
legislative group from entering the
central State hospital housing the
criminauy insane after the commit
tee had taken sensational testimony
from guards and former guards in
hearings outside the institution.
A committee of two physicians
and one attorney, appointed by
Governor Schmedeman, however. is
conducting an inquiry and hearing
the complaints of every patient
within the institution at Waupun.
Testimony taken by the legislative
committee, undisputed as yet, re-
veals that the Waupun hospital has
been the scene of Encouragement,
brutality and almost unrestricted
sex perverSion.
Demands have been made of the
legislative committee for an in
vestigation into the action of the
board of control in allowing a
superintendent of the state school
for the blind to resign after serious
accusations had been made against
him.
A current investigation of the
Milwaukee county house of correc-
ton, largest penal institution under
control of any local governmental
units in the state, produced testi-
mony of liquor and drug traffic
within the institution, drunken
revels and nude dancing by

ROOSEVELT OFFERS
TRUCE TO UTILITIES
Gives Companies Chance to
Reduce Rates.
By Z Hited Press

By CHlt9d Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today held out an
offer of Federal cooperation to
private utility companies if they
will reduce power rates to what he
considers fair level.
Behind the offer was strongly
implied threat that if they refuse
they will have to compete with
municipal power plants built with
Federal funds.
The offer to accept conditional
surrender" of private utilities was
conveyed in the Presidents instruc-
tons to the Electric Home and
Farm Authority, subsidiary Of the
IVA, to expand its activities over
the entire country.
The authority heretofore has con-
fined its operations to assisting IL
financing the purchase of electric
equipment by farmers and urban
householders within reach of power
from the Tennessee Valley project.
Under expanded activities of the
authority aid is to be given pur-
chases of electrical equipment in
communities served by privately
owned utilities if electricity is sold
at a low enough rate.
This plan, the President believes,
will bring electrical equipment with
in the reach of thousands of addi-
tional homes.

LOWER BUDGET
FIXED AS GOAL
BY ROOSEVELT
Every Possible Economy Is
Urged; Relief Funds Not

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt tugged at the Gov
ernments purse strings today in an
effort to trim the budget toward
estimated income for the next year.
Hope of a balanced budget in the
near future, however, was extremely
remote as the President worked over
his message to be delivered to Con-
greSs Jan. 4, the day after it con-
venes.
Estimates of the various depart
ments were placed on the Presi-
dents desk soon after his return
from warm Springs, Ga, early this
month. Since then Mr.. Roosevelt
has called in the department heads
for frequent conferences.
1t has become known that he is
urging every possible economy and
that every retrenchment that can
be made without seriously affecting
his recovery program will be made.
Several departments have been
called upon to pare their estimates
sharply
AS the budget message has begun
to take definite form Mr.. Roosevelt
has conferred more and more fire.
quently with Henry Morgenthau,
Secretary of the Treasury After
one such conference Mr.. Morgen-
than said, I'VE are making real
progress"
Others who, have conferred fire.
quently with the President on bud
get matters include Daniel w. Bell,
acting budget director; Harold L.
Ickes, Secretary of Interior and

limits of prospective revenues and
a reasonably conservative" pro-
gram of extraordinary expenditures

ployment relief and social rehabili-
tation.
The estimates which the Presi-
dent will place before Congress are
expected to be considerably below
the amount he estimated for the
current year in his message last
Jan. 5. At that time he estimated
expenditures of SIC, 100000, 900 would
be necessary.

TRAIN WRECKS
AUT0;7 DEAD
MangIed Bodies Believed to
Include Three Men,
Four Women.
By United Press

u " HtttU GFtbS
HARVEY, ILL.,, Dec. 26-The In
ternational Limited, fast passenger
train of the Grand Trunk and the
Canadian National railroads, crashed
into an automobile at grade cross
ing today, killing the seven occu-
pants.
1t was the second disastrous acct
dent on the road within II hours.
Last night the Maple Leaf was
wrecked near Toronto, killing Is.
The limited was SJeaming through
Harvey, south suburb of Chicago, en-
route from Montreal to Chicago,
when the crash occurred. The r.
car train was running more than an
hour behind schedule because of
heavy holiday traffic.
The license number on the auto
mobile was traced TO John Burke
and it was believed he was one of
the victims. The victims, all badly
mangled, were taken to the w. E.
Kerr undertaking parlor where it
was reported they included men
and women. Three of the women
were decapitated. One man lost
both legs. The car was demolished
and dragged hundreds of feet.
Burke was 81 years old and was
employed by the Illinois Emergency
Relief Commission. 1t was learned
that he customarily picked up six
relief workers en- route to work and
it was presumed it was this group
that met death.
Sergt. A. F. Roll of the Harvey
police said after all the bodies had
been assembled at the undertaking
parlor that they were so badly
mangled that it could not immedi-
ately be learned whether six or
seven had been killed.
Tt was established that the six
persons usually taken to work by
Mr. Burke were Hope Hines, Wen
dell Parkoff, Ruth Greenberg, Mary
Mccain, Marian Riggs, Harvey
Friedman.
Authorities believed further iden-
LITIGATION probably would establish
that these six and Burke were the
victims.
Some of the bodies were in such
condition that they were brought to
undertaking parlorS in baskets.

The Weather Bureau re-
corded a 25-mile-an-hour
wind, but predicted the cold
wave will be unaccompanied
by any precipitation.
The thermometer at the airport
station of the Bureau registered 6
degrees at 9 as against the de-
grees reported by the downtown
station.
Originated in Alaska
General over the State and the
Middlewest, the cold wave originated
several days ago on the Alaskan
border and began its journey south
east, John Arlington, government
meteorologist, explained.
1t was held up for a time by a
low pressure area which moved IN
from the North Pacific, but was re-
leased abruptly this morning and
swiftly fell on all MiddleWestern
States and as far south as northern
Texas.
Iowa and northwestern limos
were swathed in zero and sub-zero
temperatures today and, tonight,
northern Indiana may find the mer-
curry as low as 10 below.

Pacific, now working its way across
