tion and would participate in
new trial if one was granted.
Judge Bentley, who has beer
the subject for vigorous protest
and censure for her conduct Of
the case, said:
"The Government making no
objection to cOunsel'S motion to
vacate the Judgment, the court
has decided to grant the motion
to afford opportunity for = new
trial. 1t is the purpose Of the
Juvenile Court to protect chill
dren.
BASED ON RECORDS
"At the trial these boys were
arrsigned in the presence Of
their mothers and acknowledged
taking the car. The only Ques-
ton then was to determine
what was the best course to pur-
sue for the future of the boys.
This depended to q large extent
upon their past histories and
their development. 1t was
known to the court that one Of
the boys had been before the
court on many charges and that
both Of them had recently been
convicted of attempted theft of
another automobile in Virginia.
THE Court in the exercise Of
its best judgment committed the
boys to the National Training
School where q careful planning
for their needs was assured
them. A new trial will permit
opportunity for full disclosure
Of all the evidence"
Judge Bentley signed an ordel
and sent it to the superintendent
of the training school for the re
lease of the boys pending a nev
trial.
At the request of Mr.. Cusick, tn,
case was put over until January
80 when it will be determined II
the boys will be tried by the court
or a jury, and trial date will be
set at that time.
Plea Withdraw
Judge Bentley then asked Mr.
CuSick:
do you desire to withdraw
the plea of guilty these boys
entered?"
He replied:
II was not aware that they
had pleaded guilty to any
charge"
The judge answered:
"The records of the court
show that they pleaded guilty

Dean Lloyd's statement, pub
lished in the campus news
paper, followed a recent ulti-
matum by DR.. Alexander G.
Ruthven, president of the uni
versity, that student fraterni-
ties must mend their social
ways or be closed. Dean Lloyd
said:

to the charge and on that
ground received the commit
ment to the school,"
Mr.. Cusick said in that event
he would withdraw the plea of
guilty and enter a new plea Of
not guilty, and Judge Bentley
directed the records be amended
to show this.
She asked if a trial by jury
was desired, and he stated he
would be unable to say this until
he had talked with the boys and
their parents.
The mothers of the boys, who
sat nervously in court until the
judges decision was rendered,
were on the verge of tears of
joy when they learned the boys
would be returned home and
given new trial.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, brought the
case up before that body at a
meeting yesterday. Mr.. Pretty
man, summoned before the com.
mittee, said that he would not
criticize Judge Bentley's actions,
but added:
81 don't think a full hearing
ever hurts anything"
Senator King said he had re-
ceiVed number of complaints re-
garding the practices in the Juve-
lille Court since Judge Bentley was
named to the bench.
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York, one of those who
sponsored Judge Bentley for the
appointment. came to her defense,
saying he had been informed the
boys were bad" He added:
"An this criticism of Judge
Bentley is unfair and unjusti-
fled. think she did her duty
and acted properly in view of all
the facts and the past records
of the boys"

signed to two Fall River banks,
were tossed into a second auto
mobile.
With a machine-gun mounted
at their side, the five thugs fled
in the second car leaving Reid
partly covered by an empty mail
sack in the first automobile. Dis
covery of his plight led to discov'
cry Of the robbery.
The second car, which bore
Rhode Island registration plates,
was later found abandoned. The
plates had been removed. the
thugs apparently transferring to
a third car.
Toward Providence

AVIATION SETUP
CHANGES READY.
FOR CON GRESS
President to Send Report to
'HiII' Tuesday; Army and
Navy Corps Affected

. A plan to reorganize the en-
tire aviation setup. Army, Navy
and commercial. will be sent to
Congress next Tuesday by Presi.
dent Roosevelt, who will send to
both houses of Congress the
final report of the Federal Avi-
alton Commission, which was
placed in his hands today.
1t is understood that the COM
mission strongly recommends that
the effective fighting force of
the Army and Navy be no less
than a combined fleet of at
least 1000 planes, ready at all
times to take the air.
It is understood that the report
will severely condemn the policy
of having a large number of Army
and Navy planes on the ground
and unable to fly at a moments
notice.
Another startling recommends
ton will be the proposal to build
a dirigible lighter-than-air balloon,
Of gigantic size, larger than by
one-half than the present Graf
Zeppelin.
Eventually, it is understood, the
entire field of aviation, except
Army and Navy planes, will be put
under the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The President is represented as
favoring a complete reorganiza-
tion OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission. and pending that re-
organization, the Aviation Com
mission recommends that a tenn
porary commission be created to
deal with aviation problems.
