MIRA REPLACEMENT
 SEEMS IMMINENT.
Federal Incorporation of Industries, Trade AssO-
 CiatiOnS Looms
BY MACK JOHNSON

Washington, Dec 4-(UP)-Per- r1anent replacement of the present MIRA setup through federal incor- poration of large industries and trade associations under charters embracing principles of blue eagle codes received serious considera- tion by high administration off, cials today.
 The plan is before the industrial emergency council headed by Don- aid R. Richberg, director, and con- posed of Secretary of Interior liar old l.. Ickes, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, AAA Admins trator Chester DavIs, Federal Re- lief Administrator Harry A. Hop kins and Chairman S. Clay Will Hams of the NIRB.
 If approved by the FEC, the pro- posal will go to President Roose- welt for submission to congress.
 Under it's terms, industries and trade associations would take out federal charters containing prin- ciples of NRA codes such as col lective bargaining, wages and hours. Administration of the char ters would be vested with the de- rartment of commerce.
 The plan, it was learned, was drafted by Assistant Secretary of Commerce John Dickinson and Frank R. Eldridge, chief of the commercial intelligence division, of the department of commerce. Secretary of Commerce Daniel C.. Roper is reported to have favored it.
 Under it, industries and trade groups operating in interstate con- merce would have the opportunity to obtain federal charters or con- tinue under regular codes.
 If there are violations of the charter provisions, the plan pro- vides that the firms incorporation papers shall be revoked, thus throwing the concern back into the code category.
 Through moral persuasion, the public will come to regard all firms which are not incorporated as 'chiselers' and refuse to do business with them," the official said.
 Disclosure of this program fol- lows closely a recent report to the senate by the federal trade com mission on all phases of federal licensing and incorporation.

 of Getting Free Fuel

Bridgeport, Conn, Dec 4-U.P.l Decision has been deferred until December 12 in the cases of four present and former city officials ac- cused of accepting gratuities from the City Ice and Coal Company, amounting to more than $500.
 The accused are Dr Philip Me- Laughlin, former president of the Board of Education; Fritz K. G. Weber, president of the board of public welfare; Charles T. Pistey, former board of education mem Der. and Edward F. Quinn, board of public purchases.
 The state charged they had &C., cepted free fuel from the company which now is in receivership and whose treasurer, Harry B. Husted, is serving a states prison sentence for fraud.
 Mclaughlin, Pistey and Weber testaified they had no knowledge of gratuities. Mclaughlin said he asked once for a bill and was told don't worry, you'll get it in due time"
 He said he did not press the matter because he believed he would eventually be billed for the fuel received.
 The others claimed their bills wer paid as received.
 Mrs Alice Harrigan, fuel com pany employe. testified that since 1881 no bills were sent to any of the accused, except Pistey. Fuel had been delivered to the home of the latter's parents, she said.
 She said she was instructed by Husted to write off" a bill for $172.2O against Mclaughlin in Au- gust, 1880.

NEW YORK BOY
 WORLDS SMARTEST
Intelligence Quotient Is 23O Higher Than Ein=

New York, Dec 4. (UP)-''What do you mean, a child almost as smart as Prof Albert Einstein?"
 The bureau of child guidance in effect demanded of the educational clinic to-day. "Why, we have a child who is smarter.
 The bureau then announced eX- istence of 1-2 year-old boy, who has an intelligence quotient of 230 which makes him the smartest per- son in all the world. Prof Einstein' S intelligence quotient is 205, one of the highest ever recorded hereto fore, and the quotient of the edu- cational clinics prodigy, who is z years old, is only 196.
 The new podigy is a pupil at the Brooklyn Ethical Culture school and his teacher, Mrs Henry Ncu- mann, was disturbed because news papers had made much over the clinics prodigy. She refused to divulge his name, fearing publicity might hurt his future.
 The child's mind, like that of Prof Einstein, seems predisposed toward music and mathematics, she said. He has devised a numerical al- phabet with which he writes with ease and has invented a system of musical notation using numbers that competent music technicians have pronounced entirely practical.
 The bureau of child guidance is part of the board of education. A few months agoa, Brooklyn sec ond grade teacher grew wary of a little boy who knew all the ans wers before she expounded them. and sent him to the bureau. Dr Morris Krugman gave him the TO test and before he had finished the child had comprehended the in- volved method by which this test arrives Gin theory) at an appraisal of intelligence, astonished, Dr Krugman began propoundings mathematical theorems which the child solved with ease.
 The new prodigy, like the T. year-old mental giant of the edu- cational clinic, is of Jewish par entage, but his parents, rather than having little education, are classed as professional intellectuals." He did not walk until IA months old, and did not talk until 20 months. But when he did begin talking, it was in complete sentence without trace of garbled pronunciation. He is large for hls age and has a strong sound bOdy
