 For six years, Governor Wilbur Cross has urged the public to take personal inetrest in the care of men, tally defective persons. In caln- paign and inaugural addresses he has pointed out the urgent need of greater and better faciliteis for handling these cases which are in- creasingly yearly, leaving waiting lists of thousands who cannot gain admittance to the states inadequate institutions.
 Many Have No Homes
 Several hundred of the Mansfield children have no home. Many cf them have no recollection of how home looked. Some have never seen sail boat; have never run their fingers through fine, white sand of a beach. Moonlight on the water is something for them to n1ar- vel at, Dr. Lamoure said.
 "The benefit of sun and shore to them cannot be overestimated. Our main object is to rehabilitate these children so that they may be self sustaining under supervision. At the shore they could work and play abount the grounds under cx- tremely beneficial conditions" Dr. Lamoure has spent his life caring for under privileged persons. He and his colleagues built the Mansfield institution from a 275- patient hospital in Lakeville in 1914 to a $2,600.000 plant accomo- dating 1,200 patients at its present location. More than 30 buildings stand upon it's 1000 acres today. Yet its waiting list numbers.
 Private Requests Allowed
 The charter of the institution was amended by a former legisla- ture SO that private bequests may be received.
 Several years ago, before the de- pression wrought havoc with the states finances, Dr. Lamoure leased a place at the shore, where groups of children were brought for brief periods. Since then, these unfor- tunates have been transported in buses to beaches for day.
 Each evening the patients gather near the flag pole for retreat. The little brass band of 28 lads, wearing caps, white pants and silk en capes, covering in some instances defective bodies, march as best they can, hoping it will be the night that the purchase of the shore prop erty will be announced.

town, Pa, asked the president to aid in obtaining the withdrawal of "murderous elements" from the strike situation at the Bethlehem Steel corporation plant there.
 You might find it advisable to call conference of the interested parties or set up the machinery by which the opposing points of view may be reconciled," Davey told the president.
 He advised the president that "the only point in dispute is whether there shall be a signed agreement" between the Committee for Indus trial Organizations steel workers organizing committee and the four independent steel companies in volved.
 "This is an urgent request for your help in the direction of peace" Davey's message concluded. No National Guards
 While awaiting federal action, 1t was understood that Davey planned no action toward calling out the national guard, but would leave the preservation of peace in the Ohio mill towns to local authorities, at least until they asked for aid of the militia.
 Davey's appeal to MT. Roosevelt came after two conferences here with both sides had failed to pro- duce a basis for settlement, and after Chairman Tom M. Girdler of Republic Steel and President Frank Purnell of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,, had declined invitations to a third conference which the gover- nor had asked them to attend per- sonally today without fail"
 Girdler and Purnell informed Davey that they had prior engage ments they could not break. Their replies added that, in any event, their decision not to sign union contract was unaltered.
 Appeal to President
 Davey reviewed his peace efforts in his telegram to the presidenft. The message to MT. Roosevelt was telegraphed last night. It follows in part
 Dear MT. President:
 After nearly two weeks of diligent effort to bring about reasonable settlement of the steel strike as it relates to Ohio companies we find ourselves face to face with at least a temporary deadlock.
 "The union leaders insist on a signed agreement and take the posi- ton that if men are willing to agree orally to do certain things, they ought to be willing to put that agreement in writing. there is no question. The only point in dispute is whether there shall be signed agreement.
 Apparently every avenue of ap- proach available to the state of Ohio has been exhausted for the time be- ing. The steel strike now involves eight or ten states.
 Asks Intervention
 Therefore, I request you most earnestly to intervene on behalf of the federal government and under take ln Sucn manner as you may deem best to find some basis on which this costly and threatening strike can be settled. You might find it advisable to call confer ence of the interested parties, or set up the machinery by which the op- posing points of view may be recon ciled.
 T know you will agree with me that the enormous economic losses and the potential danger to thou sands of people make an early set clement supremely important. I am deeply concerned and will continue to help in this serious situation. Any cooperation which we can give in your efforts will be given promptly and earnestly. This is an urgent

I note the exception, reiterate
that Actor Rathbone applied many

the playwright conceived fantaS-

by hearing Ann Harding play the

said that there may be different
conceptions as to how a mailman
should be played and that Mr..
Rathbone preferred broad strokes.
However, the Rathbone record
stamps him as a good actor in
most parts. To me he has a sleek
and ratty look, not quite suited for
heroic roles. The casting directors
must feel the same way about it
for he invariably plays villains.
