UTILITIES ACT
RULING JARS
NEW DEAL
Judge Coleman Gives
Sweeping Decision
In Baltimore

The sweeping decision Of Fed
eral Judge william c. Coleman in
Baltimore. holding the utilities act
unconstitutional, created conSter.
nation in Administration circles
today.
Department Of Justice officials
said that because the Government
was not directly a party in the
case it cannot force an immediate
appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court.
The Administration thus was
faced with a ruling Of unconstitu-
tionality and uncertainty as to
when final ruling would be OBJ
tanned from the Nations highest
legal tribunal.
Called Involved
The case originated when
trustees of the American States
Public Utility Company, which is
under reorganization under the
special bankruptcy law, sought
instructions from the court.
The government was permitted
to be heard, with Benjamin ".
Cohen and Thomas Corcoran, re-
puted authors Of the law, arguing
as special assistant attorneys-gen-
eral.
One effect Of the ruling is ex-
pected to be an effort by the gov.
ernment, either in this or in other
cases, to push an appeal to the
Supreme Court as rapidly as pos
sible.
Judge Coleman, who was ap-
pointed by President Hoover in
1927, handed down a ruling sweep.

The President was met at the sta

Two Babies, Three Men
Killed, Physician
Confesses

LONDON, Nov. 8 QN.S).-Eng-
lands shocked amazemolt at the
admission of a physician that he
had strangled two babies and
poisoned three men in the inter
est of mercy" was increased to-
day by the statement CT the sec
fetary of the newly-organized
''EuthanaSia Legalization Society
that "other doctors have told me
similar stories"
Although the unnamed physi-
clans letter to the Daily Mail
which gave England its first
shock was a concession Of five
murders, it seemed unlikely today
that any criminal action would
be brought against him.
AbySSinia was crowded to one
side on the front pages as emf
nent doctors and supervising
nurses were quoted in their pro
teStations that they had never
known members of their profes-
sions deliberately to take life.
Supporters Of euthanaSia legali-
cation rushed into print to press
their demands for change in the
law defining murder.
The secretary of the society, DR..
Killick Millard. said: TT all points
to the urgent necessity of revision
Of the laws"
Lord Listowel, one Of the found
ers of the society, said: I'VE can
not encourage the doctors, action
contrary to the law, but we must
admire the doctors courage"
Before publishing the letter
which started the controversy the
Daily Mail contacted the writer
and found him to be "a kindly
faced elderly family doctor"
Seldom has a "letter-to-the-edi-
tor-writer' caused such a SenSa-
ton.
His column-long epistle entitled
"the right to kill" has revived the
euthanasia issue as the question
of mercy deaths" is called.
Lord Moinihan, one of the ma
tion's most distinguished surgeons,
has called a meeting of the pro-
euthanaSia group at the British
Medical Association in December
"for the purpose of laying the
whole issue before the country"
The situation has grown from
two recent and remarkable
murder cases in which mercy was
undoubtedly the motive for the
killings.
Acquittals Applauded
On October % spectators in
Old Bailey applauded when a
jury acquitted Muriel Welsdon,
q 23-year-old stenographer, who
was charged with numbering her
mother, a victim of incurable
paralysis Of the brain, by putting
poison in peppermint creams.
Earlier in the year, the plight
of two elderly sisters charged
with the murder of their brother,
an imbecile, because they feared
no one would care for him after
their deaths, had the sympathy
OF the public They too were
acquitted.
So the unnamed doctors let
ter that he had Strangled two
babies born to be imbeciles and
poisoned three adults suffering
from incurable diseases added
fuel to a controversy that was
current.
