UTILTIES ACT CHANGE PROPOSED Congress to Get Suggestion of Commission Late _ This Week. The Public Utilities Commission plans | to forward to Congress late this week a proposed amendment of the local utilities act designed to limit findings | by District courts, in case of contests | over commission orders, to questions of | law, it was announced today | The purpose of the amendment would | be to prevent the courts from engating in an entire review of the facts in a| contested utility case, as has been done in the past, and to ber the courts| utility property, as was done in one| case. Draft Prepared. The draft of ths proposed amend- ment to the utility commission act has | been prepared and now is being studied hy Corporation Counsel Bride. He fa- | vors the general principle of the pro- posed change, he said today. The mat- ter is expected to be acted on by the| commission at is session Thursday. The proposal was made first to Con- gress in 1930 in an amendment to the | then proposed street car merger hill, in- troduced by Senator Blaine of Wiscon- | sin. It was deleted from that bill be- cause it was held to apply to all utili- ties here and not merely to the street car companie:. Keech Approves. Richmond B. Keech, people’s counsel, today voiced approval of the pronosal, | decla; its adoption would prove highly desirable in preventing two trials of the same case as to facts, once by the utilities commission and again by the courts.

C, CONTROL MEASURE IDRAFTING 1 BEGUN Corporation Counsel’s Office Prepares Legislation for Congress Action. INCLUSION OF PUBLICITY FEATURES IS INDICATED Selection of Utility Commission as Agency to Pass on All Local Issues Urged. At the request of the Public Utilities Commission, the office of the District corporation counsel today began to draft legislation to provide control gen. erally over all forms of securities of fered for public sale here. The commission hopes to have the proposed legislation in form soon, for submission to Congress for considera- tion at the present special session, Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chairman, said. Believe Control Needed. Members of the commission reiterated their belief there is & very definite need for control over all securities sold here. in order to protect the public against fraud. The commission now has control over stock and bond issues of the utility companies operating here, but other- wise local investors have no such pro- tection as is afforded In many States. It was indicated by commission offi- cials the legislation would involve the publicity features of the Federal se- curities law, now nearing final con- sideration by Congress, the licensing of security brokers and salesmen and certain features of the fraud acts adopted and employed by various States. Urge Commission as Agency. It was indicated the local bill would propose that the commission be selected as the agency to pass upon local se- curity issues. ‘The commission was | i the agency named for this purpose in several of the proposed local security bills which have been considered by Congress in recent years. embers of the commission have been assurcd by interested Federal of- fcials that the national securities law, as passed yesterday by the Senate. would not disturb or limit the control now exercised by the commission over securities issued by utility companies operating here. THIRD MAN ARRESTED IN ROBBERY OF BANK Suspect Held in Philadelphia in $7,640 Hold-up of Insti- tution Here. Bernard W. Thompson. assist- ant chief of detectives, received word today that a third suspect has been arrested in Philadelphia in connection with the recent $7,640 hold-up of the Washington Mechanics Savings Bank branch at Eighth and G streets south- cast. Detective Sergts. Floyd Truscott and Frank O. Brass will take witnessss in the hcld-up to Philadelphia tonight to view the prisoner, Max Zove. An extradition hearing will be held by a United States commissioner in Phila- delphia tomorrow. The two other suspects held there, John J. Cahill and Abraham Raefer, will be given a hearing Friday. They already have been identified as mem- bers of the bandit gang, according to the police. Aide to Pershing, { Which cause delay in learning to talk AREATTRBITED O SOUND BIDNESS Inakility to Hear Mistaken fsr Low Intelligence, Specialist Says. DEFECT IN HEARING BELIEVED INHERITED Four-Year Study of Aphasias Re- . ported to American Neuro- logical Society. Discovery of a condition affecting the hearing which acts like color blindness ih ceeing was made known by Dr Samuel T. Orton of New York before the American Neurological Soclety meeting here today. The victims apparently Have normal hearing, but when subjected to definite tests it is found that they cannot hear sounds produced at certain frequencies which occur in the normal range of | conversation. In children, this ap- parently is responsible for certain | speech defects which may cause serfous | delay in school and in some cases lead | to the suspicion of low intelligence. This defect appears most frequentiv for the higher frequencies of normal speech, Dr. Orton said. such as enter into such sounds as “S, F and Th.” Children with the defect show up in pronouncing words with these sounds, either passing them over altogether or substituting something else. Later they may learn to read lips unconsciously and, by imitating the lip movements of others, produce sounds which they do not hear. Great differences were found in having such a child repeat sounds facing the speaker and with the back turned to him. Regional Deafness. In detecting this tone blindness Dr. Orton used a device by which when a , sound of a given frequency was given and the child pressed a button simul- taneously a toy locomotive was made to emerge from a tunnel. The defect is similar to color blindness in that this well known anomaly is due to complete failure to receive certain parts of the visual light range. Dr. Orton named ! the defect “regional deafness.” ‘This is one of ths conditions, he said. and prove a source of Worry to parents who fear their children may be of sub- normal intelligence. There is another group, he explained, who apparently | hear all sounds within the hearing | range, but to whom many words con- | vey no meaning. When a child is slow in speaking, he pointed out. all these possibilities should be considered before questioning the intelligence. There is some indication that "re-[ gional deafness,” like color blindness, may be inherited. The wide differentia- tion from actual deafness is shown by the fact that the victim may be better than normal in certain regions of the normal hearing range. It was found in one case of a man who had been a World War aviator and passed the delicate aviation hearing tests without rousing any suspicion of a defect. It appears in more aggravated form in his two daughters. Reports on Aphasias. Results of a four-year study of apha- sias were presented to the neurologists by Dr. T. H. Weisenburg of Phila- delphia. The aphasias are those queer | cenditions which arise, usually from a | lesion in the brain, in which the vic- ' tim may recognize a familiar object but be unable to give its name, be un- able to write, read, or express himself in speech. The condition takes many forms, predominantly associated with the use.of language. In the past the aphasias have been widely studied by neurologists for the light they might shed on localization in the cerebral cortex of the brain. Thus the position of lesions might indicate a speech brain center, a writing brain center, a reading center, etc. Dr. Wels- ingy Stae ITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION 'TUESDAY; MAY 9, 1933. D.C. SECURITY SALEIFAULTS IN SPEECH | Prize Dog Held for Ransom . OWNER OF $1,000 PET IS WILLING TO PAY $200. Princess Wracket, valuable Great Dane, believed to be held for ransom. RINCESS WRACKET, a valuable great Dane, is being held for §200 ransom in some Washing- ton hide-out, according to a K telephone message received Sunday by the owner, Frank Feeney of 1602 L street. Police were asked to investigate this new development in the kidnaping line after Feeney pleaded in vain with the informer for further word of his pet, which he values at $1,000. The dog disappeared more than a week ago under circumstances which convinced Feeney she was stolen. Although he advertised a “liberal” reward by newspaper and radio, Feeney heard nuthmg of his pet until the stranger telephoned him. The man refused to give his name and when informed Feeney would pay $50 for the return of the dog demanded $200 and hung up before Feeney could agree, saying he would call again. Feeney as yet has heard nothing | further from the stranger, although he declared today he is still willing to pay $200 and “no questions asked,” if his informer will see that the dog is re- turned unharmed. { The dog, although only 18 months old, weighs more than 150 pounds. It rarely left the vicinity of Feeney's res- taurant in the 1600 block of L street without its master. Feeney fears the dog is not getting her customary :Ax pounds of fresh meat daily, and will suffer from lack of exercise through the necessity of concealment. A photograph and description of the dog were turned over to No. 3 precinct, 2nd Feeney also has inquired of the District dog pound and the Animal Rescue League for word of Princess Wracket. “I'm perfectly willing to co-operate with the stranger,” Feeney said, “if he will only get in touch with me again!" FINALHOUSEACTION ON U $.CUTS NEAR Debate on Independent Of- fices Bill Due to Start This Afternoon. The 1934 independent offices appro- priation bill was scheduled to be called up in the House today under a special rule precluding any changes in its sweeping legislative provisions, which range from.rotative furloughs for Fed- eral employes to a State apportionment standard for dismissals. The rule which the House adopted late yesterday by a vote of 202 to 156, limits debate on the bill to five hours and prevents amendments to the 13 ;leslslnuve riders except those spon- sored by the Appropriations Committee. Republicans Attack Rule. Republicans, headed by Representa- tive Snell, of New York, the minority leader, .bitterly denounced the rule as a “vicious gag” on debate and pointed | out it would prevent a separate vote on the 13 sections carrying legislation. Representative Britten, Republican, of Illinois, also criticized the Democrats for “alloying the Administration to do their thfiking for them.” In answer to the attack, Chairman Buchanan of the Appropriations Com- mittee declared every piece of legisla- tion in the measure is an integral part of a weli-mapped out progiam for effi- clency and economy in the Government service. Final Action Due Tomorrow. The rule was approved after the Ap- ropriations Committee reversed a recommendation of its deficiency sub- SECURITIES BILL NEARS ENACTMENT Senate and House Approval ’ of Conference Action Expected Today.

DATE ADVANCED T0 PAVE WAY FOR REGROUP PLANS Announcement of Amounts Depart- ments Will Be Cut Is‘Expected Within Short Time. President Roosevelt's economy pro- gram for governmental departments is now slated to become effective June 1, ranking administration officials caid today. This will include reductions in operating expenditures of all Govern- ment functions except veterans, which Wwill not become effective until June 30. Including the $450.000,000 veteran cut, the program will save approxi- mately , $1,000,000,000 during the 1934 fiscal year. Each department has submitted fts Tecommendaticns to the White House and a definite announcement of the amount each will be slashed is expected momentarily. The recommendations have already been studied by Presi- dent Roosevelt and Budget Director Douglas. Officials pointed out today that the economy program is not to be confused Wwith the administration’s reorganization plans, which are expected to become effective at the beginning of the 1934 fiscal year. Paves Way for Regrouping. The enforcement of the economy pro- gram one month earlier is to pave the way to place the reorganization plans into effect without unnecessary delay, it was pointed out. It is the plan of the administration to devote the latter part of this month and part of next month to weeding out non-esszntial activities in the various departments, officials said. Those bureaus slated for transfer from one department to another as part of the reorganization program will have to be curtailed before the transfers are made, it was stated At the Commerce Department it was stated that the Patent, Census, Fisheries, Navigation, Steamboat Inspection, Fore eign and Domcstic Commerc> and Aeroe nautics Bureaus would have to bear the brunt of the expenditure slash for this agency. This is due, it was explained. to the desire of the administration to kcep intact practically all the employes :n the Bureaus of Lighthouses and Coa< and Geodetic Survey, the latter a high!; scientific agency. The Lighthouse Bu- reau is the largest of the department's {10 agencies. Will Use Stagger Plan. The department has 17,000 employes Officials said a 90-day staggering plan is to be enforced as far as possible in order to prevent wholesale dismissals. This plan, acording to official compu- tation, will mean a reduction of 1 per cent in salaries for every three and six-tenths days lost. With the ex- ception of the employes in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. a 15 per cent reduction in salary is now enforced in.the department. The Do- mestic Commerce Bureau employes, be- cause of acministrative furloughs now enforced. have received reductions of 33 per cent. Pressure to place the economy pro- gram in effect by June 1. it was stated, was inadvertently brought by groups of workers in various departments. For the last two months their work has been brought to a standstill by them because of fear of losing their jobs. Officials admitted that throughout the Government service in Washington lit- tle work is being done by employes except those connected directly with administrative offices. The latter are engaged in work on the economy pro- gram, it was stated. dpniEd | enburg made the mest comprehensive A study yet reported and found that he | could not find such specific centers, |although he did not deny that they might exist.

Stanton Was Author of the Phrase Which Swept World SAN FRANCISCO, May 9 (#).—A heart ailment has ended the life of the Army officer who uttered the ring- ing war-time phrase, “Lafayette, we are here.” Col. Charles E. Stanton, 74, whose declaration was made July 4, 1917, in Paris before the tomb of the French- man who aided the American Colonies in the Revolutionary War, died last night. He was stricken ili less than a week ago. The phrase, epitomizing the arrival !of the first American troops to joln the allies in the World War, fired the French audience with characteristic enthusiasm and Col. Stanton was fong of recalling he lost his sack of to- bacco, from which he had started to roll a cigarette, as a rush of congratu- latory embraces swept upon him. , At first popularly attributed to Gen. John J. Pershing, who was present at the ceremony, the phrase soon re- sounded throughout France and the United States. ‘The peroration of Col. Stanton’s ad- dress is as follows: “At some future time.another genius of your fair country will compose an lntflem which will unite the moving cadences of the ‘Marsaillaisé’ and the quickening warmth of the ‘Star Span- CHILD’S NAIVE TELEPHONE CALL DELAYS AID FOR INJURED MOTHER Six-Year-Old Girl Summons Where She Lives. Because she didn't know where she| lived and hadn't had much experience with telephones, anyway, it took 6- year-old Dolores Gunning more than an hour to get police aid early today, after she had found her mother with a slashed wrist. It was about 1 am. when Doleres lifted the receiver from the telephone in her home, 1005 Quebec street, and told the operator: “I want a cop.’ The operator connected her with police headquarters, and she repeated her request for an officer, explaining: “My daddy’s gone away, and my moth- er's_hurt.” “Where are you?” asked the police operator. “Right here,” was the “Where?” Police, but Can’t Tell Them “On the telephone.” . “Where is the telephone—where do you live?” “I don't know.” While Dolores kept repeating she wanted a ‘“cop,” the police operal had the exchange operator look up the address of the telephone. Then tenth precinct police went to the house, where to the phone, “I want a cop.” Be- side her was her twin brother, John, and their mother, Mrs. Daisy Gunning, 28, in a dazed condition, was elsewhere in the house. . After having two stitches taken in her wrist at Gerfield Hospital, Mrs. Gunning was transferred to Gallinger Hosoital.

It is in the left frontal lobe that many neurologists recognize a small section, kncwn as Brocca's area, which they believe to be the center of ‘speech. But Dr. Weisenburg's cases did not show lesions concentrated around this area. The second group, whose difficulty was chiefly in the re- ception of impulses from the outside world, also showed extensive lesions of the frontal lobes, but these extended also into the so-called temporal and parietal lobes.
