HOLLYWOOD, Oct. % = want to quote today from a letter re- ceived from an Omaha, Nebraska, reader. He writes:
 Tn Samuel Goldwyn's The Won der Man, an actor wearing an ob- solete hearing aid stoops to an all- time low in ridiculing, and holding up to derision, the hard-of-hear- ing. To hold these handicapped people up for ridicule, as was done in this picture, most certainly dis- courages them, especially those just learning to use hearing aid. I happen to be one of them myself and may God grant that Mir. Gold wyn's ears are never so affected.
 Tt takes from six to eight weeks to learn how to use a hearing aid, and the wearer is representative at the beginning. He must learn all over again the many sounds that he has been unable to hear and, usual- ly 1t takes him full year to accus- tom himself to them. There are many thousands of people so handi- capped in this country, and our numbers are being swelled now by thousands of returning veterans who must learn how to wear hear ing aid
 'Is MT. Goldwyn helping these peopiep Is he making things easier for those young returning soldiers who must go through the agony of learning to hear again2"
 Every producer should give sym pathetic consideration to the above letter. Hollywood's stock of laugh getting material Is not so lean that writers need to ridicule physical ail- ments in order to sell theater tickets.

Connors' Return Here
Next Week Sought
On Murder Charges

1t. Robert v. Murray of the
Metropolitan Police said today there
was good possibility that Raymond
Connors, 80, of Yonkers. N. Y,
would be brought to this city some
time next week on a warrant charg-
ing him with murder in the trailer
Staying of Edward Barker and Pany
Casbarian last February %.
1t. Murray disclosed Tuesday that
United States Commissioner Need
ham C. Turnage had issued war
rant charging Connors, a used-car
salesman, with the crimes. Connors
now Is being held without bond by

lating the Sullivan law by illegally
possessing firearm. He is sched-
uled to be arraigned on this charge

der the Sullivan law, he faces a
maximum sentence of seven years in
prison under New York State
statute.

Metropolitan police explained that
shortly after the arraignment on the
gun charge, they will seek an ex-
tradition hearing in Yonkers to
expedite Connors' return here on
the murder charge. Washington

and robbery because a 3-carat dia-
mond ring. wrist watch and 81 600

ice has been deferred pending the
arraignment next Wednesday.

mitted to act on his own volition

stances prescribe, 1t. Murray de-
clared.

police to have pawned and later
redeemed the 3-carat ring, which,

used-car lot at Fourteenth and N
streets NV.
