LONDON. Feb 27-A fleet of HOO American bombers feinted an- other attack on Berlin, where fires still burned from yesterdays record blow, then swerved south to pound the big railroad centers of Leip- zig and Halle.
 The giant bomber train was pro- tected by 700 long-range fighters which stretched over distance of l50 miles as they roared over tar gets 90 to 100 miles southwest of Berlin.
 The methodical destruction of Berlin continued throughout the night as RAF Mosquitoes dropped their bombs, guided by the light of fires started l2 hours earlier by the record attack of 1900 American bombers.

MANN A(T DECISION
 IS GIVEN
Ruling Made on White Slavery as Pertains to
 District Columbia

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Supreme Court Justice Robert Murphy con tended today that the Mann Act is being abused. He said Congress aimed solely at "pernicious white slave traffic" when it passed the law in 1910, leaving voluntary vice to local laws.
 The Mann Act forbids transport ing a woman for immoral purposes across state lines or the District of Columbia.
 Justice Roberts gave his views in dissenting from a majority decision which left intact the conviction Of Carmen Beach, 30, charged with taking girl on a four block taxi ride in Washington, D. C., to engage in prostitution.
 The Justice Department argued unless the Supreme Court reversed Circuit Court decision which held the Mann Act does not apply to transportation wholly within the District of Columbia the law could not be enforced in the Territories
 The lower court decision which was reversed today already raised practical difficulties in enforcing the Act in Territories,' government officials said.

S6opEN5I0N BILL PASSED
 BY SENATOR'S
Basic Sciences Act Has Sen. ate in Dither at After
 noon Session

The Basic Sciences Act, TOT regulation of the practice of neal ing, had members of the Territorial Senate talking in circles Monday afternoon before they were 1lnaliy able to move it through the second reading stage.
 Amendments had been liberaliy hung on Senate Bill No. 16 "a la Christmas tree" before the Sen ators were finished with 1t, and broken remnants of manys more proposed alterations lay scattered over the Senate floor.
 Another "16" measure, House Bill No. l6, was the other big bit ot business taken care of by the Solons. The old Age Assistance bill, originated in the House by Rep- resentatives Edward Anderson and Steve vukovich, was passed by a Is to count, after an abortive attempt to push the pension in- crease up another notch to $75.
 Two other measures, Senate Me morials Nos. an T, also won the approval of the Senate during the afternoon session. 28g fa
 Rough Treatment
 The Senators treated the Basic Science Bill right roughly, from a financialsstandpoint, and on several occasions came very close to jerk ing all the teeth from the measure. As results af a few of the amend ments adopted: All appropriations were stricken from the bill, the ex- penses of administration being left up to the General Appropriation Bill; the job of paid Executive Secretary for the administering board was eliminated and an un- paid secretary substituted physi- clans and surgeons, originally ex- cepted, were m d e accountable under the act, and the makeup of the board was altered to require the inclusion of one chiropractor, one osteopath and two practicing physicians, in addition to the Territorial Commissioner of Health, who would serve as chairman
 At one time, indefinite postpone ment was moved for the measure, apparently as, a result of pique at the success accorded that maneu- yer during the morning session with regard, to the Income Tax Bill The motion was put by Sem ator H. H. McCutcheon and sup ported by other proponents of the tax bill. The fact that pr. w. M. Whitehead@w on the stand, testi- flying flor the bill at the time the indefinite postponement motion was offered, occasioned an outburst of criticism from Senator N. R. Walker

Common Decency

 ,'Letl-us have the common de- cency ito respect our witness,1 the Ketchikan Senator stormed. He was backed up by President Ed ward D. Coffey, who refused to allow the motion to lie until after Dr. Whitehead had been excused from the stand. It was then de- feated by wide margin. Senator McCutcheon denied any attempt to kill the bill.
 Dr. Whitehead had been called before the Senate for his views on the inclusion of psysicians and surgeons under the requirements of the act. He stated his position in favor of such action. fearing that exclusion might lead to charges of discrimination, since the basic sciences are necessarily, a part of their training. elaa0 a zalysI

NEW YORK.

NEW YUM.
Broadway's midsummer ennui was
not nghtened to any great degree
by "Marinka." which came to the
Winter Garden Wednesday evening.
It is an operetta without very nota-
BILE music, a rather impudently-
handled version of the famous May
erling tragedy which moved Max
well Anderson to write "Masque OF
Kings" and brought Charles Boyer
to Americas swooning females.
This is no general complaint at
the injection of happy ending. l
do complain, loudly, at the Mlnsky
methods of George Marion, jr., and
Karl Farkas, who could not have de-
veloped their plot with less taste
had they insisted on runaway
right down the center OF the Winter
Garden. with Joan Roberts and
Luba Malina occasionally taking
time out from the formal plot to
shed a glove or a skirt.
In order to take away the sting OF
tragedy, Marion and FarkaS used a
prologue and epilogue set, strangely
enough, in Connecticut and had the
lovers escaping to America at the
finale to live happily ever after or
possibly less. The Mayerling story
will live long time in the memory
of historians but as it is messed up
in "Marinka" it probably will not
last out the summer at the Winter
Garden.

'Marinka' Limps to Broadway
By JACK O'Brian

Even the casting is unfortunate.
Joan Roberts, as the heroine OF an
operetta which is heavily European
in mood, is as American as Coney
Island, and Harry Stockwen is a
stiff and unbending hero. Luba
Malina wins whatever honors are to
be distributed, managing to add
sparkle and fun to an operetta role
which is completely a cIicne.
Musically, "Marinka" received un-
distinguished treatment. Its COM
poser apparently was under the mis-
apprehension that such happier an
tecedents as "The Merry Widow"
and almost any Romberg operetta
could be followed in mood and style
but the result is bloated pastiche
of a definitely second-rate sort. En-
merich Kalman's music received un-
happier help from Lyricist Marion,
who tried to follow the songs OF sue
cessful shows such as "Show Boat
and "Oklahoma!" For instance, "Old
Man Danube" is a shaky attempt TO
satirize "Old Man River" and some
thing supposedly amusing called
'"The Cab Song" derives plainly
from "The Surrey With the Fringe
on Top"
Jules j. Leventhal and Harry
Howard, who produced, provided an
excellent production, with handsome
sets by Howard Bay beautifully
