MRS. MERTON w. GOODRICH

DETROIT, Mich. July IL
G.N.SD.-Mrs. Florence Harding
Goodrich, whose devotion to her
degenerate husband, Merton Ward
Goodrich, led her to shield him
during his 10-months' flight from
authorities seeking him for the
fiendish Staying of 11-year-old Lii
liam Gallaher, today was declared
legally sane.
She still was being held as a
material witness by police. Prose
cutor Duncan C. McCrea had ex-
pressed doubts as to her sanity
because of her loyalty to her
killer-husband and had asked DR..
Albert M. Barrett. head of the
State Psychopathic Hospital at
Ann Arbor, to conduct a mental
examination.
Meanwhile, DR.. I. L. Polozker,
psychiatrist of recorders court,
was preparing a report on the
mental caliber of the husband,
who assaulted and killed the
schoolgirl and stuffed her body
into a trunk. Preparations are
under way to try Goodrich on
first-degree murder charges next
Wednesday.

chairman of the Committee of
Public Utilities Executives, testi-
fled today as the Senate launched
its far-flung investigation into
lobbying.
Senator Black (D), Of Alabama,
committee chairman. called GadS-
den as the first witness after a
brief executive meeting, at which
it was decided the inquiry should
be started at once.
Is Companies Represented
Gadsden said his organization
represented 18 or 10 utility hold
ing companies.
This $4,000, said Gadsden,
was contributed by the holding
companies interested, on a basis
of one-half cent for each electric
meter each holding company con-
trolled. .,-
Another $4,000 has been
called in" and is now available,
but has not yet been spent, he
added.
In addition to the $751; 900 and
the additional unexpended $50, 900
put up by the holding companies
embraced in the committee, Gads-
den said, the Edison Electrical In
stitute had put up $15O,O00. Of

paid to the New York law firm of
Sullivan g. Cromwell and a Rich

Institute Started Plan
The idea of the utilities eXecu-
tive committee, he said, was
brought up first in the offices of
the Edison Electrical Institute in
New York. He said:
1--WE employed these two law
firms Immediately after Organi-
zatiOn of the committee"
He did not explain why their
services were required.
Gadsden said frankly he had
met and talked to Senators and
Representatives in the Capitol,
seeking to get them to vote against
the so-called death sentence" of
the utility bill. He denied that
he carried this activity into social
or home circles.

RAPID CITY, S. D., July IL
T.N.SD With a huge puff that
sent 375,00O cubic feet of grey
helium gas into the clear night
air. mans latest bid to explore
the stratosphere came to an ig-
nominous end early today an hour
before it was to begin.
A cause not yet discovered blew
the entire top off of the gigantic
bag that was to carry a joint
expedition of the U. S. Army
Corps and the National Geog-
raphic Society into the rarefied
atmosphere for scientific study.
Although six persons, including
Capt. Albert w. Stevens, COM
mander of the Inflated venture.
were trapped under the cascading
cloth, none was seriously injured.
Sergt. Oluf Jensen was struck
by a beam but outside of a slight
limp appeared unhurt. He re-
fused infirmary attention.
Commander MyStified
MyStified over the collapse Of
the balloon, Captain Stevens said:
conditions were ideal for the
flight as there was not a breath
of air stirring on the floor of
the natural bowl. / might be
able to explain the accident had
there been any breeze, but the
balloon was absolutely motion
less at the time of the col
lapse. 1t was carrying its full
load except for the gOndOla."
The captain said he would not
make any official statement here
today. He explained that after a
thorough inspection of the fabric
of the balloon, he would make his
report direct to Washington.
An inquiry into the reason for
the breakup was ordered as the
scores of workmen and mechanics
set about collecting and folding
up the three acres of canvas that
spread like thousands of rumpled
bed sheets over the bottom of the
natural ampnlCneaCer.
All the preliminaries for the
ascent had gone off smoothly.
The gas tanks had stopped hiss
ing shortly after midnight, when
pouring the non-inflamable gas
into the envelope proceeded for
hours.

At that time the bag stood
like a white pillar with its Dubbed
end towering higher than a 20
story building against the brilliant
rays of a searchlight battery.
More than 10000 farmers,
townsfolk and tourists, kept O
safe distance away by troopers

Recommendations by Corpora
ton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman
and the House crime subcommlt-
tee for establishment of a citizens
advisory committee on crime in
the District were turned down to-
day by the District Commissions
erS.
Following a discussion of Mr..
Prettyman's report, the District
heads decided that an advisory
committee is not necessary and
will not help the administration
of the local Police Department"
Approve Unit
The Commissioners approved
the suggestion in the Prettyman
report for an interstate detective
unit. in which local police will
cooperate with officers of Virginia
and Maryland in the apprehen'
sion of criminals.
Criticism of the parole board
contained in the report will be
sent to members of the board for
their reactions. The Prettyman
report pointed out that the parol-
ing of habitual criminals was a
very serious matter and called for
stringent restriction against the
release of such criminals"
Rejected Examinations
The Commissioners also rejected
the suggestion in the report that
police captains be relieved of TAX
ing Civil Service examinations for
promotion, but approved the phase
of the report which would rate the
captains 70 per cent on the Civil
Service examination. The examl-
nation would give captains a 20
per cent rating on written
knowledge quiz and a 10 per cent
rating on mental tests.

FEAR DEADLOCK
ON UTILITY BILL

The House and Senate today
came definitely to grips on the
death sentence" of the public
utilities holding company bill,
when the lower branch of Con-

with instructions to uphold House
action, eliminating the death SEN
tence.
The Senate, which had ap-
proved the bill with the provision
for ultimate dissolution of hold

Administration, but by a close
vote, had previously sent the
measure to conference without
instructions.
Nevertheless it was understood
that the Senate conferees would
insist upon inclusion of the death
sentence in the face of overWhelm-
ing opposition in the House. A
bitter fight was forecast in con-
ference.
Possibility of a deadlock between

If we meet these people in private
life we find them to be very much as
they are upon the stage or screen.
They are entertainers who sell their
personalities to us. Many of the great
est comedians fall into this category.
Actor Really Acts.
These people cannot, however, be
properly regarded as actors. no matter
how they entertain. The actor, I be-
lieye. is one who can so merge and
change his personality as to convince
us that he is undergoing the joys and
sorrows of the character he is por-
traying.
His ultimate aim, of course, is the
entertainment of his audience, but his
task is quite different from that of
the entertainer or personality seller,
and the possession of a peculiar. def
mite personality may be even a
hindrance to him.
I have not met many of our leading
actors and actresses, but have noticed
that the real top-notchers create only
a nebulous impression in room full of
people. Remove from them the aura
of success that surrounds them and
they will not stand out in the def
mite way that an entertainer stands
out; they cannot be pinned down and
described.
This vague and inGefinable impress
sion they create is actually bart of
their equipment and we should do
wrong to attempt % Classify and de-
scribe them. # .Ne could succeed in
doing so, l believe We should destroy
them as actors.
The true actor gnould have TO de-
Enable personality. His task .c two
fold: He has been born with an ex-
ceptional and 1rildlike instinci for
dressing up" and rlay-acting, and he
is probably girted-or cursed-with
supersensitive emotions and strong
powers of imagination.
His task. then. is 70 live his lite to
the fullest extent of his emotional
capacity and 70 Undt rstand the ex-
periences through which he PASSES.
Emotion is his stock ir trade; the
actor cannot and must not try ~ live
the ordered, steady lives of other
people. since ever moment Of &C.

that stock.
Must Remain Nebulous.
His second TASK is to translate that
