PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May a.
Young men and women were warned
today to not believe too much Of
what their science professors teach
as facts.
DR.. Willis r. Whitney, director Of
research of the General Electric Co.,
speaking at the closing symposium Of
a three-day ceremony dedicating the
Benjamin Franklin memorial. declared
the minds of youth should not be
cluttered up and pre-fashioned ac-
cording to the ideas Of their elders.
"It's called electricity" he said in
discussing Americas principal COM
merical product, but no one knows
what it is, exactly how it works or the
possibilities in It, Although our
knowledge of 1t grows continuously, its
essence may never be entirely appre-
ciated, DR. Whitney declared.
Benjamin Franklin's first expert
ments in electricity were made more
than $50 years ago, he added, but
even today 1T offers more room for
the Imagination of youthful minds
than ever, and the service it renders
will be proportional to the speculstions
and experiments Of un-inhibited
youth"
Approach Still Sound.
Franklin undertook his experiments
and studies on electricity, magnetism,
medicine, oceanography and other
sciences with an unfettered mind, DR..
Whitney pointed out, since he had had
little formal education.
All of the early contributors to
electrical theory and use employed
natural and pure imagination, which
were then supported by careful calcu-
lation and research" he added.
Franklin's approach to research is
still sound one, the General Electric
executive said.

SICHTLESS MAN
 LOSES HIS EYES
Trained Dog Killed By Hit- Run Driver as Master
 Waited for It

Boston, Aug. 13-(UP)-Patrick Folan, 43, was sightless again today because Elaine, his "seeing-eye' Shepherd dog, was dead-victim of needless hit-run driver.
 Standing in his back yard await ing the. return of his pet from an exercise run last night, he heard brakes screech, and then a series of animal cries. Folan shouted for help, and his wife and three children ran to the street where the dog, its back broken, lay helpless.
 The blinded woman and children, with the blind man falter- ing behind them, carried the dog into the house. A veterinarian took Elaine to the Angell Memorial hos pital, where the animal died.
 Folan, former Readville car shop nlachiniist, lost his job during the depression. Scorning relief, he bought portable saw and went from door to door cutting wood. But three years ago he was blinded by Q piece of wood which flew from the saw. However, he continued to work making birdhouses and small house. hold articles.
 Learning of his misfortune, the Norwood Knights of Columbus bought him Elaine for $500, and raised enough money to send Folan to Morristown, N. J., where he was instructed on how to get around with his "seeing-eye".

 Democratic National Committee Chairman James A. Farley, who came to Idaho to ask the renom- nation of Pope, sent his congratula- tions to Rep. D. Worth Clark, who defeated Pope in Tuesdays primary and assured him that the national organization would support him. Friends had suggested that Pope run as an Independent candidate in the general election. His name would not be on the ballot, but vot- CTS could write 1t in.
 Pope had asked for time to con- sider the matter. It was then that Farley sent his message to Clark.
 This is the first chance I have had to extend my heartiest con- gratulations," he said If I per- sonally or the Democratic national committee can be of any assistance please feel free to command me.
 Clark, an opponent of several New Deal measures. said he "appreciat- cd" the offer.
 Popes decision on running as an independent was expected within the next few days.

 POST MENTIONED Shubert Theater 10 Be Convention Hall for
 Republicans

Hartford, Conn.,, August 13. - (UP) - Republican leaders gave serious consid- eration today to demands that women be given larger representation at the nom- ination convention at New Haven September Is and 16, and a place on the state ticket in the November cleo tions. "The time has come to put women on the state ticket" declared State Vice Chair man Katherine Byrne, Putnam, who also is national committeewoman.
 She proposed that one of her sex be nominated for secretary of state, suggestion which found favor among committee members. The Demo- crats already have a woman can- didate for the same office Mrs. Winthrop B. Palmer, Fairfield, who two years ago was defeated for the state senate.
 Nominated Once
 Only once before has woman been nominated for state office, in 1920 when Fannie Dixon Welch. Columbia, now Collector of Customs, was defeated for the secretaryship.
 Republicans have several possible candidates. including, Mrs. Helen E. Lewis, Stratford; Mrs. Corinne R. Alsop, Avon; Mrs. Alice Russ, Shelton, and Mrs. Frances Roth, New Haven,. all of whom have been. prominently identified with party activities for 8 number of years.
 Miss Byrne,s proposal to increase the number of women delegates to the convention would be accom- plished by including at least one in each town or city delegation. This would mean a representation of at least 160 as compared with about 45 in previous years.
 Shubert Theater Chosen
 The Shubert theater was chosen for the New Haven convention site. The Republican convention Will open the day after the Democratic convention closes at Eastern Point. Republicans will hold dinner the night of Sept. 16 as a part of the nationwide observance of constitu- tion day by the party Sept. IT.
