 PRAISES FRANCE
Best Place to Work and People Most Tolerant
 and Intelligent

Paris UP)-France is tho only Christian, civilized country in which a decent man can live and work, is the dictum handed down by William Seabrook, American author.
 "The profound rationalism that characteriZcs the French and makes them the most tolerant and intelligent people of all civilized Christian races, Is what makes me prefer o live and work in France to pursuing those same occupations anywhere else on earth" says the gentleman from Maryland.
 The French peasant as well as the intellectual Is capable of con- sidering with justice and reason q Hindu, a pervert, Buddhist, q German, L polygamist, 0 Jew, an American, an atheist, a painter, q poet, an archbishop, or even a Me- gro married to white woman, and provided they were socia ble human beings, would invite any one of them to sit down and eat dinner.
 "In my home town in Maryland, however. the Hindu is classed as q Negro, the Buddhist is mocked, the German feared, the polygamist jailed, the atheist scorned, the Jew made a joke, poets and painters considered as decadent, and the

Congressman E. W. Goss of this city has advanced another step In his fight in Washington, D. C.. to eliminate the system of indefinite and specific permanent appropria- tions in the federal budget. Yes- terday afternoon, following hls repeated requests, Chairman Bu- chanan of the house appropriations committee ordered an immediate investigation of any possibility or slashing the funds.
 The system of indefinite and specific permanent appropriations is about 100 years old. It gives the executive department the power to make certain expenditures without any direct approval from congress.
 The figure in the proposed 193b federal budget for this item is $2,- 3O4.784,45O, an increase of almost a billion dollars over such appro- priations in 1884. Congressman Goss, who is a republican. is a member of a special committee which has been studying the sys- tenn since the last session of con- gress. However, while the repub- iican administration was in power with ex-President Hoover at the head of the regime, Congressman Goss made no attack, 1t IS said, on the idea.
 As under the various acts au. thorizing the permanent appropri. ations congress is prohibited from

MOTOR PATROLS
 ONFOOT STORM
Pressed Into Service With Members of the Traf-
 fic Squad

The police motor patrol was "dismounted" to-day owing to the condition of the streets of the city following yesterdays snow storm. The members of the patrol were pressed into service as relief men to members of the traffic squad and also assigned to a number of beats made vacant as q result of illness.
 One of the most important as- signments was the detail to check up on delinquent property owners. who usually prefer-to have the sun melt the snow and ice on their walks and ignore the safety of pe- destrians.
 Many complaints were registered during the day concerning side- walks with 6 result that Superin- tendent Joseph II. Mclean issued orders to the afternoon platoon at noon to-day to make thorough canvass of the districts to which have been assigned and to notify all property owners or tenants to get busy with the shovel and broom.

Negro who marries, or is friendly with white woman Is shot, hanged or burned"
 In a series of articles printed by Ia French newspaper recently, the question, What do you think of B'rance?" was put to Theodore Dreiser and Gertrude Stein, among other luminaries. Dreiser replied in a derogatory manner, while Miss Stein insisted that she thought nothing about 1t; she merely lived here, loved 1t and would always de- fend France against anyone who maligned 1t.
 In his eulogy on La Belle France, Seabrook further declared that there was no other country in the world where one could be ESQ utterly tranquil or sparkingly gay as in Paris-a city with all the provinciallsms of the small town plus the sophistication of the inter- national world capital 1t is to-day. If a person can't be happy and do his best work in an atmosphere of that kind, then life would probably be just too bad for him anywhere"

STERILIZE IDEA
 MEETS OBSTACLE
Some Believe Intelligent People Should Be Put to
 Test, Others Disagree

Montreal (UP)-Two McGill uni
 versity professors cannot agree on
 the issue of sterilization.
 c. L. Huskins, professor of gc- netics, believes that eugenic laws are wise as long as they have the support of the public, and W. D. Tait, professor of psychology, maintains that nature should be
 left to take her course with the
 "poor imbeciles."
 Professor Huskins believes that the principle of sterilization Is bi-
 ologically sound, although danger
 ous and open to grave abuse If ap-
 piled in a wholesale manner as in Germany.
 Reproduction of imbeciles can be controlled by sterilization, par ticuIarly of border-line cases. he says. Far from being a punitive measure, sterilization would be a great kindness in such cases. 1T used to think as he does, but have since changed my mind," said Professor Tait in discussing Pro- lessor Huskins' views. "If you wish to cure the ills of society by
 sterilization, you should start with l the over-intelligent."
 The worst crimes, the most
 widespread blights, arc not caused by sub-normal or mental defcc- lives, but by intelligent people, l Professor Tait declares:
 "Child labor, sweat-shops, relig-
 ious, political and racial persecu- tion, stock manipulation, bank de- linquencies. graft at the expense
 of the country, intrigues of high grade murder, war and It's horrors are not caused by the morons, but by the ..ltelligent," he says. "In my opinion. the greatest
 menace to civilization is really the
 man who is just little smarter than the rest. As far as the poor
 imbeciles are concerned, 1t is bet | ter to leave nature to deal with
 such matters in her own way. If
 we don't nurse imbeciles they die
 off, and as for their slightly more
 intelligent brethren--society has
 need of the under-dog to carry on the rough work the more intelli- gent consider beneath them."

With Greetings

LONDON, June % G.NS)-
The worlds best known bachelor,
the Prince of Wales, observed hts
fortieth birthday anniversary to-
day without excitement or cere-
mony.
The world at large, apparently,
was more interested in the ami
versary than the Prince himself.
A flood of mail, cables, kilograms
and telephone calls kept a corps
Of secretaries busy throughout the
day both at York House, the
Princes London residence, and the
country place where he spent
most Of the day.
Except to journey to Windsor
Castle for lunch with King
George and Queen Mary and
others of the royal family, the
Prince did not depart from his
wonted routine. He spent the
day quietly at Fort Belvedere, his
unpretentiouS country residence
in Berkshire, and gave no indica-
ton Of personal interest in the
fact that he had reached the
age of two-Score years.
A salute of 81 guns was fired
in the great park at Windsor
Castle and the bells of ST..
Georges chapel pealed out in
honor Of the Princes natal day.

German censors today refused to

man Wilhelm Goering'S special po-
lice guard, numbering some $50
men.
The guard, assigned to the Of

solved because it refused to engage
in daily drills. 1t was ordered
merged with the field police.
Several officials are said to

General Goering, whose fond
ness for martial display is well
known, recruited the special guard
from among the Nazi storm

DEDHAM, Mass, June 70
U.N.S0.-Pretty Norma Millen,
who played with dolls while her
bandit husband pumped a ma
chine gun, today brooded in her
Jail cell.
The future of her youth-she
is only 19-depends on the story
she tells Monday from the witt
ness stand at her trial as acces-
sorry after the fact of the robbery
Of the Needham Trust Company,
in which two policemen were slain
by her husband, Murton, and his
gang.
Mentally Childish
The defense pictures the par
sons daughter as a little girl in
mind as well as body. They say
that, unhappy at home, she was
driven through romantic hunger
and q childish mentality into
marriage with Murton Millen.,
Her romance turned to ashes
when the kindly courtship of the
youth met at a summer dance
hall turned into a matrimonial
slavery under a dour, explosive
master. She bowed to his COM
mand and feared him as much as
her abnormal horror of the dark.
The pieces of this picture were
put together through the teSti-
mony of Norma'S father, mother,
Step-mother and brother.
Mrs. Margaret Brighton, the
mother, told how Norma told her,
after her elopemept, that she was
disappointed in her marriage.
Driven From Home
The Rev. Norman Brighton, the
father, declared Norma was al
ways "a little girl" He admitted
he had ordered her to leave home
because she insisted on going to a
dance with a boy.
Mrs. Muriel Brighton, the Sec
ond, testified to the young mental
ity of Norma.
Clarence, brother Of the defend
ant, related the i'll temper of Muir
ton, how he prevented Norma
from being alone with any Of her
family, of how he bullied her.
