Restrictions Placed To Limit Army Corps ' Flying at Exhibitions By the Associated Press. The War Department has is- sued regulations restrieting partic- ipation by the Army Air Corps “in local celebrations because of the constant drain on personnel and equipment. ‘The policy is similar to that adopted by the Navy a year ago. Under the new regulations, par- tiefpation will ‘be authorized only on holidays by the War De- partment, but in no place where other participants put on exhibi- tions of wing walki work and chan, plane to another in the air. Sponsors of the celebrations hereafter will be to pay the personal expenses of the Army | | aviators, furnish suitable motor fuel, and guard and store the air- craft properly, and provide insur- ance amounting to $50,00¢ for pub\lctlhbllny and $25,000 for perty damage. m?i'he 3Lorps also will not take part in a dedication of an airport in a comunity where it has pre- viously participated. | [ BUREAU OF PSYCHOLOGICAL “STANDARDS" PLANNED e | o Fifty of Foremost American Experimental Workers Members of Group. Permanent Laboratories to: Undertake Lengthy Problems | Idea of Incorporators. The first step toward establishment | in Washington of a natoinal research | center for problems in human and ani- may psychology, comparable in some ways to the Bureau of Standards, has | been taken by the incorporation here | of the National Institute of Psychology. whose membership includes 50 of the | foremost American experimental psy- | chologists. | The incorporators are Prof. Knight Dunlap, head of the psychology depart- ment of Johns Hopkins University -and until a few weeks ago of the division of phychology and anthropology of the National Research Council; Dr. Hugh | 8. Cumming, surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service, and Dr. Edwin E. Slosson. The charter authorizes it to “promote the applica- tion of sclentific facts and principles to human and animal life and welfare.” The intent, as described by Pr Dunlap, is to found “a national psy chological Jaboratory, similar in some of its functions to the Bureau of Standards, but not under Federal con- trol. Such a laboratory can be under | a relatively permanent director and can undertake programs of research too lengthy, expensive and complicated for other institutions. Co-operative Results, “In such a laboratory truly co-opera- tive Tesults of the highest value can be | obtained. Men working in other lab- oratories on details of the problems un- | dertaken in the national laboratory could arrange to transfer their work | there during leave of absence, or in | Summers. | “Work done here can be subjected to criticism while in progress, instead of | afterward, and the co-operative method | can insure greater certainty as to con- | ditions. Such a national laboratory will | be of really inestimable advantage to| psychology, not only because of its avallabllity for the solution of problems | unwieldy elsewhere, but because stand- ards of research may be elevated.” | Careful Site Selection. | | The selection of a site in Washing- | ton or its environs, Prof. Dunlap said, must be undertaken with great care.| The laborzatories must be in some place | free from the noise, vibrations and electrical disturbances of the city be- cause of the extreme delicacy of the instruments used in some experiments. institute wants to locate in| Washington, Prof. Dunlap said, because | the National Capital is close to the geographic center of scientific America | and because of the exceptional facilit for research here. The services of the | Bureau of Standards in calibrating in- | struments and advising on fine meas- | uring devices and of the Library of | Congress with its sclentific literature, | he sald, would be of great value. It is also hoped to work in co-opera- | ton with the local universities, the| Washington Child Research Center. | which is engaged in studying funda. mental problems of child behavior, and | St. Elizabeth's Hospital with its in-| vestigations of abnormal behavior con- | stantly in progress. The availability | of such an institution as Johns Hop- | kins University Hospital in Baltimore, Dr. Dunlap said. also will be an im- portant consideration. Financial Plans Incomplete. Financial plans still are ‘incomplete. | The first step will be for the m!mpbe':fl of the institute to agree upon a plan of co-operative research. The institute will start with the following active | members, all of natjonal scientific reputation: John E. Anderson, Min- nesota; Madison Bentley. Cornell; E. G. Boring, Harvard® Warner Brown, C: fornia: Harvey A. Carr, Chicago: Percy W. Cobb, Cleveland;.J. E. Coover, Stan- ford: K. M. Dallenbach, Cornell; J. F. Dashiell, North Carolina; _F. . | Dockeray, Ohio Wesleyan: Raymond Dodge, Yale; Knight Dunla Johns Hopkins; Franklin Fearing, Northwest- ern; 8. W. Fernberger, Pennsylvania; Frank Freeman, Chicago; H. L. Holling- worth, Colum| . Clark Hull, consin; H. M. Johnson, Mellon In- stitute; K. S. Lashley, Institute for Pintner, Columbia; A. T. Poffenberger, Columbia; E. 8. Robinson, Yale; Calvin P. Stone, Stanford; Margaret F. Wash- burn, Vassar; A. P. Weiss, Ohio State: Frederick L. Wells, Boston Psychopathic Hospital; Herbert Woodrow, Oklahoma: R. 8. Woodworth, Columbia, and Robert Yerkes, Yale. Honorary Members Named. ‘The following were made honorary members of the National Institute of Psychology: W. D. Scott, Northwestern; G. M, Stratton, California; C. E. Sea- shore, Jowa: L. Witmer, Pennsylvania, and Eleanor A. Gamble, Wellesley. ““The day of the isolated experimenter and of fragmentary problems is pass ing,” Prof. Dunlap said. “Unless we find means of shaping our problems into coherent plans of larger unity. unless we find means of carrying out vital research and postponing the merely- interesting, and unless we can pool our constructive and critical abilities, we shall be out of step with the advance of the scientific method.” ‘The science of psychology, it was pointed out, now is passing through a phase where there are several divergent schools, each devoted to its own the- ories of mental phenomena, and making littie effort to find a common ground. The proposed institute would afford a meeting ground for workers in all of these flelds. Similar Institution. A somewhat analogous institution, Dr. Dunlap pointed out, is the biological laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass., where several hundred graduate students and research workers come together every Summer. Little unity can be expected, it was sald, from merely getting to- gether once a year and talking things over, as is the present practice. There must be actual co-operative experi- mental work. Each person chosen for active mem- bership in the institute must have proved his ability to do original re- search by himself, said Dr. Dunlap. Merely teaching psychology or directing the work of others will not make a man eligible. ~When an active member 1 reaches the age of 60, he will be auto- | J ‘matically retired to honorary member- sl COMMISSION 0.

HUGH 8. CUMMING. GANGSTERS SOUGHT FOR BANK SLAYING Two of Three Bandits Who Robbed Bank Believed to Be Identified. By the Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, September 27— Three men, thought to be members of the notorious Fleagle gang of outlaws, | were being sought throughout California today for the slaying of a constable in holding up a bank at Rodeo, east of here, yesterday. The bandits escaped with $35,000 atter mortally wounding Constable Arthur J. McDonald, who chanced to stroll into the bank during the holdup. McDonald was ordered to put up his hands, but he shot instead, wounding one of the bandits, possibly fatally. Witnesses of the robbery, when shown police photographs of Jake Fleagle, leader of the desperate band, which last year robbed the bank of Lamar, Colo., of more than $200,000 and killed four men, said he was one of the trio, Joe Miller, a lieutenant of the Fleagle band, was similarly identified as the second bandit. The third was not recognized. Fleagle was belleved to have been the one wounded by McDonald. He was dragged into the getaway car by his . | companions and they escaped, leaving a trail of blood. Police believed the wounded robber had been so badly hurt that he would die. A close check was kept upon hospitals in the bay area. The robbery occurred 15 minutes after an armored car had delivered a4 $27,000 payroll. Sheriff R. R. Veale of Contra Costa County expressed belief that the three were the same bandits who held up a Southern Pacific passenger train at McAvoy, Calif., five weeks ago and escaped with.a $16,000 payroll, after wounding the engineer. BANDITS KILL TWO IN NEW ORLEANS Gambler and Seaman Victim in Series of Daring Hold-ups. By the Associated Press, NEW ORLEANS, La. September 27. —On top of three daring hold-ups by robbers yesterday, in one of which Gus Gernart, jr., a gambler, was slain, police this morning ran upon the stripped body of a man in Jackson Square, in the shadow of the old St. Louis Cathedral. The man, with the left side of his face crushed as if struck a blow with the blunt side of an ax, was tfenta- tively identified by police as Richard Mabhler, 30, chief cook of the steam- ;hlp Amoico, now undergoing repairs ere. The body lay stretched out on the St. Peter-Chartres corner of the square under dense shrubbery. e man's clothing, neatly bundled, was discovered at the base of the bronze equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson in the center of the square. Since a valuable wrist watch, a gold pen and pencil and 62 cents in change were found in the man's pockets, some investigators belleve he was murdered through vengeance. thers, however, held that Mahler was_the victim of robbers. who took a roll of money the man had the repu- tation of carrying. The body was discovered by a city street sweeper. Identification was made by means of seaman’s discharge papers. MRS. RODGERS DEAD. Mrs. Peachy Austin Rodgers, 81 years old, of this city and widow of Capt. john Rodgers, U. S. N., died at her Summer home at York Harbor, Me.. yesterday, according to word received here.

B. Denman, one of its members, testified today before the Senate agricultural committee. Denman represents livestock on_the | board. He said it was the intention of the board to help the organization and financing of such an organization, | as It also would be of assistance in djsposing of surpluses if they should | occur. | Charles 8. Wilson of New York, rep- | resentative of the fruit interests on the board, was the ¥irst witness. { Other Witness Waits. His appearance was unexpected, as the committee had arranged to hear Carl Willlams of Oklahoma. but the latter was asked to wait a day so Sen- ator Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, might _question him. Smith sent word | it would be impossible for him to attend today’s session. ‘The committee is considering the | nominations of all board members who ! have served under recess appointments | throughout the Summer. i ‘Wilson been nominated for a four-year term. ] Speaking of his qualifications for the | post, he sald heh ad oper: farms on | which apples, some corn, oats and other | crops used primarily for certified seed | were grown, but he had no exporting or warehousing interests. | Caraway Takes Witness. ‘ Senator Caraway. Democrat, Arkansas, | asked the witness what the board was | doing to determine what type of farm | relief he favors. . | “We are trying to earry out the terms | | of the bill,” Wilson said. { “Now just hat is that” Caraway pursued. “I suppose every Senator on this committee has had piles of tele- | grams expressing impatience with this board and I am trying to find out what you are doing." | “We are meeting each situation as it arise Wilson asserted. “We have | a real task. We want to do our work | constructively.” | “What situations have you met?" | “Well, we are working on the wheat situation and on a national potato program. | “And that's all you've done,” Caraway | observed, terminating the examination. | Purpose Is Asked. | The examination of the Farm Boare| | member then was conducted by Senator | Brookhart, Republican, Iowa, who asked what he considered the principal | purpose of the farm relief act. | “To build up co-operative market- ing." Wilson replied. “Don’t you think taking care of the I surplus the big purpose?” the Iowan | asked. | I “Thats one of them.” | “What else is as important?” the | Towan pursued. | “Provide facilities to encourage cc- operative organization,” Wilson an-| swered. 2 | Brookhart said the exportable surplus | was about 10 per cent or approximately | $2,000,000,000 of all the crops. The Senator then asked: “Do vou deem $500,000.000 enough to control that ex- portable surplus?” ‘Wilson said he thought that sum not sufficient and presumed the board would ask for more when need fis. felt. Touches on Debenture. “Don't you think it would be wise for us to put the debenture clause in ' the tariff bill s0 you will have enough?” Brookhart said. | “I hadn't given that any thought,” | Wilson replied. “Well, I think you should. You will fail if you don't have enough money to | care for the surplus.” Senator Wheeler asked the witness | about the board’s loan to the Cali- | fornia raisin growers. | “As T understand that loan,” Wheeler said, “it was made in the Sun-Maid raisin interests and the independent growers were left out in the cold.” ! Wilson replied the independent group | was to participate in the benefits through the loan extended to Sun- Maid, adding that “I'll refer you to | the facts.” | After Wilson completed his testimony, the committee called Denman. PLANE MECHANIC REGULATIONS HIT | Change of Rule Requiring Year Experience Asked to Help Industry. | | Declaring that the present Depart- ment of Commerce regulations govern- ing the licensing of aircraft mechanics are keeping thousands of experienced automobile mechanics out of the air- craft industry, Thomas L, Hill, presi- dent of the American Soblety for the Promotion of Aviation, today called upon Maj. Clarence M. Young, newly appointed Assistant Secretary of Com- mfru for Aeronautics, to amend the rules. In a letter to Maj. Young, Mr. Hill | requested that immediate consideration | be given his suggested amendment of the rules as a means of stimulating the entire aviation industry. Automobile mechanics, qualified by years of experience, are barred from aeronautics by the present rules which demand that a mechanic have one year's experience on_aircraft engines, Mr. Hill pointed out. Because of this limitation the great majority of skilled automobile engine mechanics find it impossible to leave positions they now occupy and spend one year of appren- ticeship in the aircraft field. “We of the.American Society for Pro- motion of Aviation have answered, thousands of inquiries during the past year, and many of these inquiries come from experienced mechanics, who. hav- ing families, are unable to sacrifice time and money to secure positions in the aircraft industry, where they would be most, valuable,” Mr. Hill wrote.

September 27.— | Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Board | of Temperance, Prohibition and Public | Morals of the Methodist Episcopal | Church asserted in an address here last night that: certain changes in the pro- hibition law were needed to make en- | forcement effective. Addressing_the Oregon conference of the church, Dr. Wilson said, “The next amendment of the Volstead act must provide for the punishment of the buyer as well as the seller of liquor.” “The padlock feature of the Volstead act,” he continued, “must be made mandatory for a second offense where a property used for bootlegging becomes a public nuisance.” Dr. Wilson suggested that young peo- | ple be taught that alcohol is not good. but a poison. “This leaves a great work for the public schools in teaching the ev:lda of narcotics and intoxicants,” he said. | - —e | Says Senorita Too Modern.
