London Letter
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL

London (UP).-Some mental cases would be made worse py sterilization and would, on the con- trary, be cured by gland graft. ac- cording to Serge Voronoff, famous gland expert and authority on re- juvenation with monkey glands.
 Voronoff told the United Press in an exclusive interview that he was heartily in favor of steriliza- ton in certain cases but absolutely opposed to it in others.
 Mot a few cases of lunacy or mental derangement," he said. "are due to sexual insufficiency which could easily be remedied by in creasing sexual power, not, as Tn sterilization, doing away with the power to procreate. In such cases gland graft, by restoring absent potency, is quite likely to cause a return of the patient to sanity. Sterilization would only make thing much worse.
 "In my opinion 1t would also be supremely unjust to sterilize even mental deficients without previous ly attempting to cure their condi- ton by mdeical or surgical means as would undoubtedly be possible in number of cases. 1ncurable mental defficients should, of course, be sterilized."
 To speak of obtaining the con- sent of a mental deficient, in the opinion of Voronoff, is in many cases absurd. ''It is superfiuous to ask the consent of a person whose mentality is such that he is unlikely to give an intelligent reply to a question. On the other hand, sterilization being a mea- sure of public interest mainly for the protection of society, to asli the parents of a mental deficient to consent to sterilization of theii offspring might. in many eases lead to a result which would be contrary to the public interest I The advantage of sterilization as method of combting the spread of mental deficiency is that tho operation is slight. relatively sim. ple in the case of males. and with out effect upon the health of tho patient providing that patient i' an adult. Tn such cases while sterilization prevents procreation explained Voronoff, it does no. otherwise interfere with the enjoy ment by the patient of n norma sexual life. But if youths below the age of 1920 should be sterll
 Ized, he said, it would not onl,
 prevent procreation but would alsf
 render the subject permanently I'm
 potent.

Unskilled CWA workers are being criti- cized in Massachusetts for laying waste many valuable shade trees, shrubbery, and wild flowers. The complaint is that the workers, not understanding the value of the trees, etc, and being given poor supervision, are destroying them not ruthlessly but in ignorance. Automobile drivers are also coming in for their share of criticism from the various garden clubs of the state. They account for an immense amount of damage to Mother Nature during the Towering months of the year. In fact, we would almost ac cuse them of doing far more damage than do any CWA workers. If the latter have damaged trees, shrubbery, flowers, then it is due to the fact that their bosses have not been selected with an eye to knowledge and training. Poor tree wardens in many towns are also responsible for loss of val uable shade trees, so the critics say. That's a matter for the individual town. Most of them today are outdoors-conscious. They dress up their physical appearances as we'll as possible We have a new un- derstanding of the great outdoors right now It's something to be exploited, be- cause New England today is the play ground of the United States.

All Canada is celebrating this year the 4OOth anniversary of Jacques Carriers first visit to that section of the globe. The great French explorer and navigator landed at Gaspe in 1534 He left his native city, St Malo, on April 20, 1534, having been commissioned by King Fran cis I to explore the western seas. He reached Newfoundland May 10, explored the coast, sailed through the strait of Belle Isle, and explored the Gulf of St Law renee. July he entered the Baie des Chaleurs, arriving at Gaspe July 1G, where he landed. Remember how in the histories we were told that before sailing for France he erected on highland at the entrance to the bay the cross ornamented with the fleur-de-lis, officially marking the discovery of Canada. Cartier made three voyages in all to Canada, making further explorations each time. He ad- vanced up the St Lawrence beyond the present site of Montreal. His memory is indeed sacred to French Canadians.

The fame of Devils Hopyard down in East Haddam has spread so far that the highway department is going to build nice new road right into the state park that encompasses it. It's hard to get to Devils Hopyard now, although the trip can be negotiated over a narraw road, something like that approaching High Rock below Naugatuck. CCC recruits at Camp Chapman are building new auto route, including a nice stone bridge over Eight Mile River. Hope this won't result in the spot being despoiled by cold-eyed tourists. It's one thing to make these beauty spots accessible; another to keep them immune from despoilation.

A formal adverse report on the
so-called cash bonus bill was filed
in the Senate this afternoon by
Senator Harrison CD, of Missis-
Sippi, chairman of the Senate FL
nance Committee.
Indications were that the bill
would meet defeat on the Senate
floor. Senator Harrison said:
II believe a majority of the
senators are opposed to imme-
date payment of the bonus"
Senator Long DO of Louisiana,
however, predicated the measure
would pass the Senate as it did
the House. Warning that he or
some other member of the sena-
torial bonus would demand early
action on the committees report,
Senator Long said:
"The Senate should pass the
bill because it would increase
the purchasing power of the
masses, would spread money out
over the nation and would do
justice to the men who fought
in the World War"

Classic, Runs Third; VIM

By CHARLES A. SMITH

EPSON DOWNS, England,
June 6 G.N.SO .-Once again the
favorite failed to win and Wind
sor Lad, expertly jockeyed by
j. Smirke, came home ahead in
the 15lst running of the English
Derby on historic EPSON Downs
today.
Colombo, Britain's wonder
horse" and outstanding favorite
in all pre-race predictions and
wagering, trailed both windsor
Lad and Easton, Lord Woolaving-
tons French bred horse, to finish
third.
Windsor Lads stirring victory
in ding-dong finish down the
stretch brought joy to his back
ers and to the bookmakers. He

the bettors' money stood to lose
tremendous sums, many Of them
as much as 100000 each, if
Colombo had won.
Windsor Lads time was 2:34,
equalling the record set last year
by Hyperion.
Thrilling Finish
It was the most thrilling derby
finish since the war.
Over almost the entire course
of / mile, 881 yards, the three
who finished in the money were
locked in a tremendous struggle.
Clever jockeying by Smirke, who
refused to give up the lead,
brought Windsor Lad home ahead
and broke the hearts of thousands
who had boosted and bet that
Colombo, hitherto unbeaten in
nine starts since he came out as
