Repeal Sought
Move Follows
Bribery Confessions

Repeal of the Michigan 1899 den
tai code, adoption of which was
abetted through legislative bribery
by officials of the Michigan State
Dental society, will be sought in the
1915 session of the state legislature
by Rep. Maurice E. Post, Rockford,
chairman of the house state affairs
committee, it was announced last
Friday F'eb: 23).
This independent move on the
part of Representative Post, one Of
the key leaders in the house, was
inspired by recent disclosures before
the Carr-Sigler grand jury at Lam
sing.
Chester M. Howell, former state
senator. from Saginaw, testified that
he was paid $1,000 by Henry Ger
Der, executive secretary of the state
dental society, and that as pay-off
man, he (HowelD paid 500 to for
mer Senator D. Stephen Benzie and
also 500 to former Senator Henry
F. Shea. Howell was 1899 chairman
of the senate public health commit
tee. Gerber turned states witness,
receiving immunity from the grand
jury. He testified paying $50 to the
late Senator Warren G. Hooper,
chairman of the 1899 house public
health committee.

chairman Of the society's 1889 leg

Job Of Iron Horse Will B
Greater After We Day

The 1945 ending Of the German
war will not greatly relieve the U. S.
railroads Of their military load, the
Michigan Railroads Association re-
ports. Instead, the war job the Iron
Horse will have to haul may be
somewhat heavier this year.
ut would seem that with the
European war out of the war. the
military job of the railroads will be
lightened," the Association states,
but based on the post German-war
plans the Army Service of Supplies
has worked out for the Jap drive the
reverse is indicated
The explanation lies in the in
creasing number Of wounded serv-
icemen returning to this country
for treatment and the thousands of
soldiers coming back each month on
furlough rotation. The handling of
these calls for a more difficult"
type Of transportation because of
the many thousands of widely sep
arated destinations as against the
relatively easier handling of a troop
train involving only one point of
origin and one destination. In ad-
dition, there will be the redeplov-
ment of army forces to bring the
full weight of U. S. arms against
the Jap and this will place an un-
precedented load upon the nations
transportation facilities.
On the freight end and supple
menting railroad military passenger
operations to build up a tremen-
dous 1915 rail load is the current
greatly accelerated movement of
vast quantities of munitions and
other critical supplies to power both
European and Pacific drives, plus
the equally heavy freight movement
needed to increase the speeding sup
plies to the Pacific and lastly the
increasing flow Of relief supplies to
East Coast and Gulf ports for devas-
tated European countries.

the alleged graft conspiracy by
agreement to commit perjury: Dr.
G. E. Madison, 1899 member of the
state Societys executive council;
DR.. j. P. Jaxtier, Detroit, chairman
of the Detroit district society's leg
islative committee; DR.. William
Davis, 1899 secretary and now presi-
dent of the state society; DR.. Wright
and Gerber
DR.. j. o. Goodsell, Saginaw, 1899
state president, said he had refused
to accede to Gerber'S request that
he (GoodselD perjure himself be-
fore the grand jury. He said that
when he was called before the grand
jury he told "the whole story, as
near as could remember" Good
sell said lie had signed the 81 900
graft check voucher because that
was the only thing to do"
The controversial feature of the
1899 dental code was it's drastic pro-
hibition of advertising by dentists.
In court testimony last week How
ell, weekly publisher at Chesaning
admitted he had worked in opposi-
ton to the wishes of the Michigan
Press Association of which he was
retiring president IN 1899
advertising was not the impor-
tant motive behind the press asso-
cations desire to defeat the den
tai legislation" Howell said in court
They (editors) were concerned
with preserving freedom Of the
press. There was not enough bust
ness advertising in it to make any
difference.
Representative Post, in announc-
ing his move to sponsor repeal OF
the 1889 act, stated: There nc
longer seems any doubt that this
measure to elevate ethical standards
of the dental profession had an un-
holy genesis and that highly i'm
proper methods were used. It's time
to make a clean start if the public is
to have confidence in the law"

Film Tests
From
Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD-Picking Gin
ematic long shots who unerring-
ly romp to stardom is no trick
for Director George Sidney. He
knows they are literally best by
test.
In hi shalf-dozen years as a
film director, Sidney has super
vised more than a thousand
screen tests-the little-publiciz-
ed showcases which can win or
lose a movie contract. BY pilot
ing able newcomers through the
reefs of these tests, Sidney has
launched numberless Hollywood
careers. Esther Williams is a re-
cent example.
when Esther was first spot
ted by studio talent scouts her
dramatic background was nil, /"
Sidney recalls between scenes of
Anchors Aweigh," his current
filmusical. Competitive swim
ming had given her a stream
lined figure which, combined
with her natural grace and
beauty, added up to a person
ality of extraordinary physical
appeal. But did she boast any
other assets?"
Her initial screen test answer
ed that question. Sidney had
Esther coached in a carefully
prepared romantic com e d y
scene opposite Clark Gable. The
result disclosed an actress of
certain, if unpublished, ability.
Continued training with M-G-M
coaches justified Sidney's opin-
ion that here, without doubt, is
a future stag." Esther gained
stardom after her second screen
appearance-with Red Shelton
in Bathing Beauty"
Few individuals are gifted
with the ability to see them
selves as others see them and
this often scars an otherwise
flawless test, Sidney believes.
Funnymen fancy themselves
tragedians, straight women con-
slider themselves ingenues. With
Red Shelton it was the came of
a comedian believing himself to
be no more than that.
RED had made tests at al
most every other studio before
he landed at M-G-M," Sidney
says. "In each case his efforts
had been confined to demon
strating comedy routines he had
found successful in vaudeville.
We worked out a straight dra-
matte scene in addition to these
comedy turns and Red handled
it with surprising ability. That
single scene was largely re-
sponsible for his first screen
contract.
