Cast in a radio adaptation of the motion picture which first brought him outstanding film recognition, Robert Taylor will be co-starred with Irene Dunne in "The Magnificent Obsession" for the broadcast of the Radio Theater" over a WABC- Column bia network Monday, April 26, from 800 to 10:O0 p. Iny edst.
 Bobby Merrick, the young wastrel played by Taylor, is held morally responsible for the death of a great doctor because he was saved by the only available pulmotor after both had fallen into a lake.
 Breeding over the loss he has caused to society, Merrick meets Helen Hudson, the doctors widow, and tries to tell her of his plans to study medicine and thereby make atonement. After he attempts to make love to her she jumps out of the automO- bile, is struck by another car and is blinded.
 After years of study, Merrick himself becomes a great spec ialist, and unknown to Helen, operates on her and restores her sight. The change in under standing and attitude toward humanity which Merrick has undergone brings them togeth- CT.

MelDir Farmer Was
 Sentenced To OPrisOn
(continued from Page D

on January 2, by his own confes- sion, the accused drove from Naug- atuck in his car to the South End section of this city, there picking up the little girl victim and . boy playmate. By ruse he rid himself of the boy and then took the girl to e deserted section of Middlebury and attacked her. He then drove her to a street near her home and put her out of the car, then pro- ceeding to his home and taking part in a party which was in progress. All the details, even to the ropes used to bind the girl, the handker- chief which gagged her and pictures of the automobile were presented as evidence. g
 Farmer Is UnmOved
 All throughout the presentment of the evidence which he knew would send him to jail for a long period, Farmer, who is 20 and resident of 2l9 Cherry street, Naug- atuck, remained calm and unruhled. Not one word did he speak other than to change his plea to guilty.
 The report of the doctor, who at- tended the girl to the states attor- ney was presented and partially read. Other reports were those of Dr. Daniel Grimm of Bridgeport, the alienist who found that Farmer was dull and normal, but certainly not feeble minded or insane;" Dr. H. c. Bancroft of Hartford. another alienist, and Dr. Max Mailhouse of New Haven who agreed with Dr. Griffin. Dr. Samuel Atkins, who took x-rays of Farmers spine and skull, had presented report which showed that there was no evidence of a fractured skull or spine in- jury which might have caused Farmers actions.
 Throughout the presentment of the states evidence, MT. Lewis con- ttnually drummed on the "revolting circumstances of the crime"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-09

Several injuries received by Farm CT, commencing when he was 2 years old, were brought into the defense by Attorney F. c. Bauby, who asked for leniency for the man. He also informed the court that 1t was his opinion and also that of Dr. Mailhouse, who examined Farmer, that justice would be served if he were sent to the re- formatory instead of prison. He stated that 1t was. hard work which would cure Farmers mania. In the plea he thanked Attorney Lewis for his fairness in presenting the evi- dence, and told of the effect which a few drinks had on Farmer. On the night of the attack, Farmer claimed to have had few drinks.
 "Something in here Cpointing to his chest) made and compelled me to do it." was the answer Farmer gave to Attorney Bauby when asked what the reason for his attack was. In asking for leniency, Attorney Bauby pointed to the two major facts in favor of Farmer: He had confessed all and saved the state the expense of trial, and he had saved the little victim the embar- rassment of testifying.
 Defense Rested
 With this the defense rested and Judge McEvoy made reference to his journal, preparatory to passing sentence. Meanwhile Farmer stood as he had all during the hearing, with head slightly bowed and no sign of emotion. Sentence was then passed and Farmer walked calmly back to the prisoners box.
 Relatives Present
 Farmers mother and father. his wife, and younger brother were equally calm until they were bid- ding their farewells. His wife, who Is 24 years old and very attractive appeared dressed in black with the exception of her hat which was dark brown. The farewell was a most tragic sight, for Farmer. who had been calm all throughout, broke down as his wife embraced and kissed him for more than three minutes. Tears were streaming down all faces of the five as the

TALE GRADUATE
 HELD BY GOVT.
Wallace c. Garland With IS Others Implicated in
 Stock Conspiracy

New York, Feb. o-CUP)-Wal- lace c. Garland, youthful econ- omist and Yale graduate; Arnold c. Mason, also graduate of Yale, and 1s. others were on trial in federal court today, charged in 43-count indictment with mail fraud and conspiracy in connection with sale of Public Service Holding Corpora ton stock. The government con- tends that the public lost between 5000, 900 and $S,000,000 through sale of the holding company stock and of its subsidiaries. Four other defendants-Irving Levinson, Paul Moscou, Herbert w. Schmidt and Max Silver-pleaded guilty to the charges before Judge John c. Knox.
 NOn-Earning Stock
 The government charges that the holding company, organized by Gar land. was capitalized by non-earn- in! stock in IS or % other concerns founded by Garland and Mason. The defense indicated 1t might call as c witness Prof Irving Fisher of X8le, WIlO WAS ShIu " Ai0FO AAVcoNSA $1SO,O0O in one of the subsidiary corporation.'. Assistant U. s. Att torney William Power Maloney said the government would prove that Garland and George Henriques & O., brokerage house which is one of 10 corporations also on trial, agreed to a transaction whereby the brokers would pay Garland s share for his stock in the holding -mpany and then offer 1t to the public for $24 share.
 Papers Were Deceiving
 In order to make the deal Took regular" to the Attorney General, Maloney charged, papers were pre- pared to make it appear Garland received $16 a share.
 The company in which Professor Fisher allegedly invested was the Automatic Signal Corporation, or- ganized by Garland in 1927 to man. ufacture an "electric-eye" traffic guide.

The Supreme Court is ours-I mean we, the prole- taydat,s defense against government of dictatorship. Must we regretfully admit that dictatorship is the port toward whic:l our Ship of State is headed? It doesn't seem possible at the American people want F.tlerism and yet when they ap- plaud slams and criticisms of their greatest bulwark against usurpa- ton and abuse of power by the ex- ecutive or legislative branches, to wit. the Supreme Court, they evil dcnce such want and are ready f)r a dictator.

 "Our state compulsory retirement age of 70 has worked out well and I shoud think that an amendment to the constitution could be made to retire all federal judges at that age. or 75 at the very limit. At this time however, am not in favor of adding more members to the Su- preme Court bench. A definite re- tirement age should be made by amendment to the constitution.

 ATTY. PERRY GRACERSTEIN:
 Franklin D. Roosevelt was my choice for the presidency in 1882 and again in 1886. However, can- not endorse his proposed reform in- solar as it applies to the supreme court. do not feel that the su- preme court has been too conser- vative in it's Interpretation of the constitution and has too often upset the will of the people as expressed by congress. But the remedy be- lieve lies in a different direction from the one proposed by the president. I would prefer a law to the effect that an act of congress cannot be declared unconstitutional by a bare majority of the supreme court, but that 6-3 vote be re- quired to invalidate the congress- tonal act"

FIELD:
 T think that at the present time it is a very wise move to make. Any man who reaches the age of 70 should be relieved of the pressure of duties, for there are few men who reach the age of 70 with all mental and physical faculties rn- impaired. It is only the exceptional man who reaches that age and is still able to carry the full load of his duties. I therefore feel that to relieve the man over 70 of that work would mean better service for the country by younger and fresher minds"
