SENATOR COUZENS
DIED YESTERDAY

AAOAlA oSS WV
Newberry, who had resigned, Mr..
Couzens soon brought criticism
from several 'ources for his habit
of plain SIP, nag. The first was
renewed break with his old
friend Henry Ford. 1t grew out
of Couzens' espousal of modi-
fication of the Volstead act.
Later he brought about a SEN
atorial investigation of the In
ternal Revenue bureau and the
enmity of Andrew w. Mellon,
secretary OF the treasury and like
Couzens, a financial giant. Short
ly afterward the governments
suit to collect additional taxes
from Couzens and other former
minority stockholders of the Ford
company was begun. COuZens
charged the suit was retaliation
on Melons part. The secretary
charged that the senator had all
his wealth invested in tax exempt
bonds. Mr.. Couzens denied this
and challenged Mr.. Mellon to a
public debate. The challenge was
not accepted.
On his 55th birthday Mr.. Cou-
zens aroused the ire of some of
his senate colleagues by stating
that "the trouble with this sem
atorial job is that there isn't
enough work to keep one busy.
We are all overpaid. Senators
vacations are too long; we waste
too much time"
The success that came to Mr..
Couzens with the prosperity of
the Ford Motor Company brought
with it realization of a dream that
long had been close to his heart
a desire to help the cause and well
fare of unfortunate children. A
long list of charitable benefac-
tions, mainly in behalf of chill
dren, was climaxed in April. 1929,
when Mr.. Couzens established a
$10,000,000 trust fund which,
with its income, estimated to
amount to S7,50O,OO0 additional,
was to be spent in full within 25
years to promote the health and
happiness of the children of Michi-
gan and elsewhere. The gift
brought his total benefactions up
to approximately $4,000. Co.,
In some quarters it was said
the senator in announcing the gift
was fulfilling a promise he made
that if his fight against the adj
ditional tax assessment was sue
cessful he would give the entire
amount to charity. Had he lost
in the suit, Mr.. Couzens would
have had to pay the government
$9,455,303.10 plus interest.
One biographer of Mr.. Couzens
has written eff one sets out to
analyze the character of James
Couzens, he finds it was nodded
of many things, of self-control,
of self-denial, of hard labor, of
unselfish expenditure of great
energy for the common veal,
for example, but above all of a
great charity"
Before he went to the United
States senate Mr.. Couzens was
police commissioner and mayor OF
Detroit-and gave away most of
his salary.

Teachers Authority
 Advocated d By Wells
Hartford Educator Leads Heated Discussion at Par
 ent-Teacher Meeting iA New Haven Yesterday

New Haven, July 2o--penyIng the possibility of parent-teacher COG operation in terms of divided au. ih0flty. pr. George Ross Wells of tha Hartford Theological seminary provoked . heated discusslon yes- teraay at the Connecticut Congress Of pnronts and Teachers meeting here this week. The school should have full authority in the educa. ton of the child, said Dr. Wells, since the parent lacks the tech. with child problems.
 Starting as . panel discussion with Dr. Wells as leader, interest soon centered on his contention as parents in tho audience rose t0 justify the Parent t-1eacher ass0cla- ton. Other speakers on the panel were Mrs. Harry D. Colburn of Fair Haven and Franklin II. Rob- inson of West Haven, presenting the parents' point of view; pr. Helen W. Bechtel, assistant in clinical psychology at Yale University; Mrs. 1ise Forest associate professor of education as Bryn MRwr College; Fl. V. Fowler, head of the English department at Teachers College of Connecticut; and Miss Frances Hays, education secretary of the national organization.
 Members of the audience felt that the Parent. Teacher association could help parents Go understand their chlldren's problems, but Dr. Wells insisted that there was no reason Co expect parents Co become specialists in child guidance. MT, Robinson, the father of the panel, said that the teacher needs personal informa- ton about the child which only the parent can supply and that the par- ant should know what is happening to the child. Mir. Fowler agreed that these were rational functions of the P. T. A., but Mir, Fowler and other teachers on the panel complained that uninformed parents were ob. structing progressive methods In seducation. Members of the audience denied that tho P. T. A. aimed to criticize educational methods.
 Other events yesterday were q talk on the possibilities for WPA COG operation in school lunches by Mrs. j. R. Leslie of the WPA Q discussion of defective children by Dr. Norman Cutts, q state chairman and an out- llne of the services of the State Congress by Mrs. Charles c.

Federal Agents
 Searching Here For Fake Stamps
Several Barrels of Beer Reported COnfiscated as Evidence

Agents of the federal alco- l1ol tax unit were reported today to have issued q re- straining order forbidding the sale in the city of pro- ducts of a well known New Haven brewery following raids last night in which they allegedly confiscated a num- Der of barrels bearing coun- terfeit stamps. A large quantity of the beer is sold in local taverns and the com pany maintains a storehouse on West Main street.
 Three federal agents, who visited beer dispensing establishments last night in several sections of the city, were said to have secured as evi- dence . number of kegs of beer with seals yet unbroken. The order re- straining the sale of the product was issued immediately.
 During early winter the federal agents visited the city in surprise moves several times, and inspected taveTns in virtually every section of Waterbury but apparently failed to discover evidences of violation of the federal law. Conclusive proof of the counterfeiting of stamps will mean the arraignment of the guilty persons in United States district court.

 Sherman, 27 year old former scoutmaster and choir singer, is scheduled to die next week.
 Asked Communication
 His parents asked the governor to commute the death sentence to life Imprisonment. Mrs. Sherman appeared in the same blue print dress, blue hat and coat that she wore at the trial of her son last September. The Sherman's plea for executive clemency was supported by Q petition signed by 080 residents of Sutton and surrounding towns. The petition was presented the governors council by Councillor Winfield echuster of East Douglas in behalf of J. Fred Humes, defense counsel. We are passing this plea," the petition said, mot on Q point of fact nor on tho question of guilt or innocence, but simply on the ground that by extending clemency on this case, the ends of justice will Do better served than by ex- acting the extreme penalty" % Per cent of Residents Humes said the signatures repre- scented nearly % per cent of the residents of Sutton and included those of Joseph A. Conley, chair- man of the Sutton selectmen, and other town officials. Also included among the signers, Humes said, were b7 former co-workers of eher- man at the Whitin Machine Com pany at Whitinsville. It was at the machine shop that Sherman met i8-year.old Esther Magill, for whose unTeturned love the state contended he drowned the mother of his two children during . canoe ride on Lake eingletary July 20, i036.
 Following his conference with the eheTmans, Curley said he probably would announce his decision to- morrow. He said he had profound sympathy" for the convicted slay- CTS parents.
 He was sending for the state po- lice officers, he said, because Mrs. Sherman told him her son didn't know what he was doing when he made the confession"
 Was Exemplary Boy
 "Newell was on exemplary boy" the governor quoted Mrs. Sherman, He helped around the house and even dried the dishes after supper"
 Curley said Mrs. Sherman was convinced the drowning of her daughter-in.law was an accident.
 The Shermans were accompanied by Norman Perry, Q son-in-law.
