Teachers Want More
Class Room Freedom
Members of National Education
Asso. Discuss Problems
at Portland

A move for classroom freedom in
the discussion of controversial po-
litical subjects held the attention of
the nations school teachers on Port
land, Ore, Saturday.
Delegates arriving early for the
74th convention of the National Edu-
cation association predicted much
discussion time would be taken up
by the congressional restrictions
against teaching the facts of COM
munism and other political philoso-
phies in the District of Columbia
schools.
Belmont Farley, public relations
director of the association, forecast
decisive action"
Meanwhile, another discussion
waged over QUESTIONABLE advocat-
ed by Representative Thomas l..
Blanton, Democrat of Texas, design
ed to disclose the religious leanings,
political and intellectual inclinations
of public school teachers.
During their convention the teach
ers will hear a three-sided political
debate with Gov. Paul v. McNutt of
Indiana speaking for the Democrats;
former Representative Burton L.
Frenhc Of Idaho for the Republicans
and Norman Thomas for the Socia-
lists.
Estimates of convention attend
ance ranged from 10000 to 10000.

Husband RecoiIs
from Snakes Used
to Kill His Wife
Los Angles Man Accused Of
Staying Seventh Wife for
Insurance Money

Robert S. James recoiled in terror,
Charles Hope testified in Los Angles,
Calf, court, last week, from the rat
tlesnakes he is accused of using to
torture his seventh wife before
drowning her.
s The snakes stirred in their box
just before the defendant, of the red
hair and strange green eyes, thrust
his wife's foot at their fangs, Hope
said.
James jumped" said the former
sailor who has pleaded guilty to first
degree murder in connection with
the death of Mary James, ''but then
he picked the box up and the snakes
struck her on the lower part of the
foot"
Attorneys for James, barber,
strove to tear down Hopes story,
bringing out there was no visible
evidence later that Mrs. James eyes
were tapped, also making much of the
fact that Hope could have reported
the affair to police but didn't.
The state charges James drowned
his wife in a bathtub after letting
the serpents do their work.
Hope, who has collapsed twice in
the past ten days giving his version
of Mrs. James death, bore up better
under the cross-examination.
He testified that for weeks before
the death of Mrs. James last August
4 he carried about with him the
dried venom of rattlesnakes which
he purchased at the defendants in
stance.
Didn't you know that the crystals
were just as virulent as the rattle
snakes venom itself?" asked Defense
Attorney R. E. Parsons.
In cross-examination, the defense
brought the statement from the
county autopsy surgeon, DR.. A. F.
Wagner, that he did not find any in
dication on Mrs. James body that
her mouth and eyes had been bound
shut with adhesive tape, as Hope
testified.
"When this man James said to you
that he wanted you to obtain some
rattlesnakes SO that they could be
used to kill a person, you immedi-
ately set about to obtain the rattle
snakes for considerations" the de-
tense asked Hope.
That's right" he replied.
The state claimed James took out
$4,000 insurance on his wife shortly
after their marriage last July 10,
then solicited the aid of Hope in a
plot to dispose of her. Hope testified
James told him he had $4,000 poll
cy on her.
Mrs. James body was found in the
fshpond of the James suburban
home last Aug. S. Investigators said
they found evidence of snakebite on
her leg.

Natural Children
Wanted in Movies

The recent great success of chill
dren on the screen is menace to
the childhood of America, says Lee
Roy Prinz, dance director for one of
the large motion picture companies.
Thousands of American mothers,
who see in their children potential
Shirley Temples, Virginia Weidlers,
Freddie Bartholomew and Bobby
Breens, are wrecking the lives of
their young sons and daughters in
their efforts to force them to become
public idols, too, Prinz says.
In his capacity with the film COM
pany, Prinz has interviewed hun
dreds of such children in the last
few years.
ITO see them sitting there, stiff
backed, with frozen smiles on their
faces, the little girls with their hair
curled, their nails manicured, and
their faces made up even tolpenciled
eyebrows, Swallowed eye-lids and
heavy lip rouge, is heart breaking.
Their mothers hover over them,
meeting each childish break from
rigid decorum with threatening
ScoWl.
"The child is then pushed forward
to do his or her number and woe to
the one who muffs the chance. AL
most invariably, their dancing is the
mechanical reproduction of three or
four routines learned under pressure,
and their singing is pitifully strained
from entertaining.
In too many instances, the moth
ers of these children harbor some
thwarted ambition for stage careers
themselves and are determined to
realize that ambition vicariously in
their children, regardless of the cost
to the youngster.
Don't misunderstood me-" says
Prinz. "The last thing would sug-
gest is the neglect of real talent in
child. I have a daughter, myself,
little more than eight years old
and she has studied dancing for sew
eral years, but neither her mother
nor I will allow it to interfere with
her childhood. If she wants career,
she will choose it for herself when
she's old enough.
parents who feel that their chill
dren have talent should consult some
disinterested persons of experience
before they plan the childs studies.
And above all, they should stay
away from the racketeering socalled
teachers who prey on the human
weakness of pride in ones children.
Every child training for any OF
the arts of the stage should be studi-
ed individually and itsNpersonality
allowed to express itself in its work.
ssI would give contract much
more readily to boy or girl with
personality and no training, than to
one whose personality has been kill
ed by an unnatural childhood in
which he or she has been forced to
master in mechanical fashion the
routines of the profession"

BRADLEY AGAIN COMES THROUGH John McGeever Offers Stiff Opposition at Caucus
 Last Night
BEACON FALLS Correspondent: Wna. ,. Baxter. Phone Naugatuck 35-2

Beacon Falls, Oct. 10.--In spirit ed republican caucus last night, Rep. William B. Bradley was re- nominated for the office of state representative. Rep. Bradley needed full strength to get the nomination however for John McGeever, mem- Der of the board of education, gave him quite a battle for the position.
 MT. Bradley boiled 103 votes and Nr. McGeever 87. Frank Bronson, chairman of the republican town committee, was chairman and Fred c. Curtiss was clerk.
 Four justices of the peace were nominated with no contests. They were: MT. Curtiss, Melvin Wither- wax, Richard Johns and Ernest Clark. The republican nomination for representative here has been vir- tually equivalent to election in the past because of the large republi- can majority here. The caucus was held in the town hall.
