OF 'brazen Abuse
OF lis Authority
Leoder Of Grange Attock,
Group in Urging Quick
Revision Of lubor Act

By the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. l6.-Ac-
cusing the National Labor Relations
Board Of ''brazenly and contemptu-
ously" abusing its authority. Fred
Brenchkman, Washington repre-
sentative Of the National Grange,
last night urged speedy amendment
Of the Labor Relations Act.
In his report to the 18th annual
convention Of the million member
farm and rural organization. Mr..
Brenckman asserted that there was
"too much department-made law in
this country"
He accused the N. L. r. B., ''by
hair splitting definitions and usur-
patton Of power" of ignoring ex-
emptions he said applied to agri-
cultural labor.
Mr.. Brenckman's report was de-
livered after Secretary of Agricul-
ture Claude r. Wickard had ap-
pealed to the Grange for co-opera-
ton In Federal farm programs.

Motorist Gets IS Years
To Life in Traffic Deaths

Richard s. Nestlerode, 26, q mo-
torist convicted Of second-degree
murder and manslaughter in con-
nection with the trafiic deaths Of
two pedestrians, was sentenced yes
terday by Justice James w. Morris
in District Court to serve a prison
term of from Is years to life.
The defendant, q laborer living at
1927 Maryland avenue NE. was
found guilty on the murder charge
in the death Of Joseph Nappo. ST,
and was convicted of manslaughter
in the death of Mrs. Edna Mitchell.
Justice Morris sentenced Nestlerode
to from S to Is years In the latter
case. and decreed the longer SEN
tence in the Nappo case. He ordered
the sentences to run concurrently.
Justice Morris said he was cogni-
Zant Of the situation brought about
by the defendants intoxication at
the time of the deaths. He pointed
out. however, that 'volunary intoxi-
cation is not q good defense" and
added that laws are passed for the
protection of society, and that this
case was fragrant one in which So
ciety must be protected.
Nestlerode was arrested last June
when he was caught after q wild
chase across the city during which
his automobile, witnesses said,
crashed into four other cars and
two cabs before it was disabled in
collision with a streetcar at Con-
necticut avenue and @ street NV.
1t was during the dash across
town that his car struck the two
pedestrians for whose deaths he was
sentenced yesterday.

This went on for three tries,

Active Guiding Role
For Universities
Urged by Ber|e
Institution Presidents
Told Schools Have
Token Neutral Attitude

Educators from American schools
and colleges met today in their final
business session of the 42d annual
conference of the Association OF
American Universities after hearing
the aims of their institutions criti-
cized last night by A. A. Berle, jr.
Assistant Secretary Of State.
Mr. Berle told the university presi-
dents that American schools have
taken an undue refuge" In neutral
search for knowledge to the neglect
Of the more dificult task of guiding
men to a choice of values. "The
fundamental challenge to American
universities today is whether they
make maximum contribution
toward integrating the thought and
the taste, the emotions and the will
Of men in a democracy to work
toward q constantly higher end" he
said.
Leadership Urged.
There are two great fields of in
tellectual endeavor, he said. 1.-The
one which seeks to discriminate be-
tween values and guide toward the
greater, and the other neutral
field which creates new tools and
leaves to others the task Of directing
their use.
II cannot escape the conclusion
that American universities have
taken an undue refuge in this sec
ond, or neutral field, when they
ought to have maintained their
primal leadership in the first or
positive field.
Actually" Mr.. Berle continued,
"in the field of physical, mechanical
and scientific research, the results
have been 50 coldly neutral that a
world has seized and used the best
product of the best scientific minds
and has Herewith succeeded in
creating, overseas at least, the
closest replica of hell which per-
haps this planet has yet experienced.
No wonder that European genera
ton has cried out against the sterile
intellectuals,' the men whose thought
contributed everything to power and
nothing to choice Of values or use
in building life.
"It is a contradiction in the times
that now, when the greatest body
of knowledge is available, the great
est affairs have to be determined on
instinct"
Only Speaker at Banquet.
Mr.. Berle was the only speaker
at last nights banquet, held at the
Mayflower Hotel. All of the meet
ings Of the association have been
held in executive session. Today
the educators were to hear COM
mittee reports and reports on the
conferences of presidents and deans.
University presidents who attended
the sessions included Robert M.
Hutchins Of Chicago, Harry NJ Wris-
ton, Brown; James B. Conant, Har-
ward: H. B. Wells, Indiana; Karl
T. Compton, Massachusetts, Institute
Of Technology; Alexander G. Ruth

Permits
Continued From First Page)

permit showing them to be 81 or
over in order to get particular job.
Mr.. Deane said he has asked one
or two of the allegedly misrepre-
sented youths why they didn't go
ahead and register for the draft
under the age as on their permits.
An exemplary reply. he said, Is:
why, I would like to serve my
country but I'm too young, and
they might catch me lying about my
age"
Youth Now Sees Ahead.
At least one youth who contends
he actually is only 161z although his
permit shows 10 has applied for
cancellation. The draft would catch
up with him-or vice versa-within
two years if he continued a couple
of jumps ahead of his time. Reason
for misrepresenting his age in the
first place, he told Mr.. Deane, was
that he desired an unlimited permit,
where 16 and II year-olds are per-
mitted to operate only their own
automobiles or those of their parents
or guardians.
Several men seeking re-aging have
been listed enormously, they say, as
about 35-or just within the draft
limit on the other side of the scale.
Mr.. Deane recalled one South
erner who, listed as IS, contended
he was 81, and promised to 60 back
to his school records to prove it.
He was born, he said, in State
where no birth certificate was re-
quired. His permit was taken up.
pending receipt of tangible evidence.
Another "Wrong Many Years"
Another man said he had just
found out he had been wrong all
these years." Mr.. Deane continued,
adding that local draft authorities
have been notified in several such
cases.
One Italian youth, admitting he
misrepresented his age on his per-
NIT, said he actually had gone 50 far
as to attempt enlisting in the Army.
Evening star., 1940-11-16

but "they wouldn't take me be-
cause Of my age" Mr.. Deane said.
The Army enlistment age limit is 10.
Mr.. Deane said he will propose
to the Board of Revocation and Res
toration of Drivers Permits that
persons who apparently have mis-
represented their ages three months
or more on either extreme of the
draft age limits be required to sub
NIT letters from their local draft
boards noting acceptance Of their
age contentious before restoring
their permits-if then.
