M'NEIL BEFORE
PAROLE BOARD
TOMORROW

Benedict Mcneil, one of the cen.
trail figures in the two,million-dol,
lar collapse Of the Park Savings
Bank, who is now serving prison
term in the District Reformatory
at Lorton, Va, is scheduled for a
hearing before the District Parole
Board tomorrow at the prison.
McNeil's case presents a legal
question on the local parole law
which has not yet been settled by
q court decision.
Two Opinions
He was convicted on April 81,
1896, on two charges of having
conspired with Robert S. Stun,
executive officer of the bank, who
committed suicide, and his father,
Alexander Mcneil, who died be.
fore the trial, to loot the bank of
100000. Justice F. Dickinson
Let's gave Mcneil consecutive
sentences of four months to two
years in prison on each Of the
sentences.
Capt. M. M. Barnard, superin-
tendent Of District penal institu.
tionS, and Assistant District Attor-
ney Attorney John Wilson, who
prosecuted the Mcneil case, said
some lawyers hold that in cases
where consecutive sentences are
imposed the prisoner should serve
the maximum Of his first sentence
and the minimum of his second
sentence before becoming eligible
for parole. .
Board Practice
On the other hand, Hugh F..
Rivers, secretary to the parole
board, revealed that under a Cor
poration Counsel opinion 1t has
become the practice of the board
to add together the two sentences
and permit a prisoner to become
eligible for parole after serving
time amounting to the two mini
mum sentences.
Wilson said making a prisoner
eligible for parole after serving the
a d d e d minimum tences
amounted to "nullifying the effect
of the first sentence and making
the second sentence virtually use
less"

CONTROL

DEBATED

Greatest of the foes to birth.
control practices and dissemina-
ton of relating facts were listed
as ignorance, intolerance, preju-
dice and religion" here last night
by Margaret Sanger, outstanding
advocate of the move. as she ad-
dressed a somewhat cool audience
of Town Hall in the Shoreham
Hotel.
The Rev. Russell j. Clinchy. of
the Mt. Peasant Congregational
Church, provided the most enliven'
ing moment of the session, when,
as a member of the panel, pleaded
at the end of Mrs. Sanger's address
for a change in the moral idea
that sexual relationship is wrong
and evil"
Another View
He said:
1--WE have come to the moral
view that such a relationship Is
wrong unless it is for the pur-
pose of reproduction, instead of
the ideal that 1t isn't carnal, but
beautiful and fine. II seems
time that overcoming this idea
is the problem"
The idea that such relationship
is beautiful and fine" Mrs. San.
ger told the pastor, lis taking root
among young people. less inhibited
than an older generation"
Terming over-population as tex
pansion explosions" Mrs. Sanger
told the somewhat skeptical panel
that such conditions we're respon-
sible for the World War, the Abys-
sinian conquest and the Man
churian invasion. Italy, Germany
and Japan were termed at the
danger spots" of the world. She
said: '-..'

nent population throughout the
world. That will solve the prob.
lem"
FREE TO ALL
After concluding her address
Mrs. Sanger received such routine
questions as:
"If birth control information
Is made available to all, how will
you keep q check on whether the
proper classes are using it?"
Mrs. Sanger replied that every
one should have the right to such
information.
Replying to her overpopulation
statement, Isidor Lubin, commits,
sioner of labor statistics, Depart
ment of Labor, declared that the
world has not yet begun intelli
gently to approach the problem Of
supporting its population. He
said:

one should work all the time. We
must utilize the full capacity Of
industrial machines and so dis

Tallulah's step-mother.
Countess Potocki, wife of the
Polish Ambassador, is an artist
and a sculptor when she isn't
helping international diplomacy
run smoothly.
Mrs. Robert Low Bacon has the
most fascinating evening dress in
Washington. It is made of yards
and yards and more yards Of
white silk tulle. The skirt on
which there are rows of shirring
swings out from snug hips and a
tight waist line with the flare of
a ballet dancers frock.
The bodice is wicked in its
guileful simplicity. Wisps of tulle
shoulder straps, are fastened with
small knots of violets and big
corsage of violets emphasizes the
neckline.
That's what call a first rate
dress" said Representative
Fred M. VinSOn who was regard
ing Mrs. Bacon appreciativeIy
at the last White House muSi-
Gale. II always did like little
white dresses with viOIets on
them"
Little white dresses, my eye"
said the lady beside him. "It'S
a Paris importation at $500
plus"
Representative Fred Vinson is
one of the members of that repre-
sentative firm of "Vinson and Vim
son." of Kentucky and Georgia.
Both members of the House, one
given to Naval affairs and one to
Ways and Means. Charming South
ern gentlemen. both-they have
been known to alibi for each
other.
Once a speech made by Vinson,
of Kentucky, accidentally was
credited to VinSon, of Georgia, and
so frightened an opposition candi-
date in the Blue Grass State that
he decided not to run.
Or perhaps it was the Kentuck-
ian'S speech that was credited to
the Georgian. The gentlemen are
as confusing as the Dionnes!

Defense Seeks Second Sanity Test For Youth
Case of Melvin Farmer Given Continuance To-
 day Until Feb. 9

Indication that the plan of the defense for a success full insanity plea in the case of Melvin Farmer of Nauga- tuck have been reversed was manifested today with the announcement that an- other medical examination will be conducted, this time by Dr. H. A. Bancroft of Hartford.
 Attorney Frederic c. Bauby, coun- sei for Farmer who at present Is in the New Haven county jail in lieu of $25.000 bonds awaiting trial on a serious statutory charge, ap- peared before Judge Frank P. Me- Ayoy today to request a continuance to Tuesday. February 9. In view of the fact that the civil jury trial now in progress will continue to tomor- row, no opposition was offered and the request was granted. In asking for the further continuance, Attor- ney Bauby made no comment in court about further mental exam if1ation of his client but when inter- viewed later announced that the further tests would be made to- morrow.
 No comment is offered by the de- fense on the examination already made by Dr. Daniel Grimm of Bridgeport for the state. Dr. Grif- fin, in his report to States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis stated that al- though Farmer has the. mentality of a 13 year old child, he nevertheless Is responsible for all his actions. Dr. Bancroft, who will examine Farmer tomorrow, figured prominently in the case of John Brophy, local man who was sentenced to prison for life for shooting Bristol policeman several years ago.
 Dr. Bancroft in that case exam ined the accused for the state and found him not insane. Farmer, who is charged with statutory rape in- volving nine year old girl was first supposed to face trial February 2, but due to jury case being heard now, 1t was necessary to postpone the hearing. He has pleaded not guilty.
