MATHER SUBMITS T0 TEACHERS' OATH Harvard Geologist, How- ever, Declares He Will Work for Repeal. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, December 12.—One of the principal objectors to the Massachu- setts teachers' oath law announced today he would comply with the law’s provision, but indicated he would work for its repeal. Dr. Kirtley F. Mather, eminent Harvard geologist, sald he would swear to uphold the Federal and State constitutions because President James B. Conant requested it and he listed these two other reasons: “In the first place,” he said, “I will be in a stronger position to work for the repeal of this un-American legis- lation if I have complied with the law than I would if I were an ‘out- law.’ In the second place, if I were to resign it would put Harvard Uni- versity in an extremely unpleasant po- sition. Reputation Declared at Stake. “If a resignation under such cir- cumstances were accepted.” he con- tinued, “the reputation of Harvard in the educational world would be seri- ously injured. If it were not accepted, the legal and political battle, which the university administration wishes to avoid, would be forced upon the institution.” Dr. Mather and some 50 professors and teachers took the prescribed oaths with reservations, which the Attorney | pe. E General ruled unacceptable, and, in | ported Bvery Day for Orders— effect, dared the State to do what it would. The law, however, passed by the last Legislature at the insistence of veterans’ organizations over the united opposition of many Massachusetts edu- cators, provides no penalties. Attached “Rider.” Mather originally swore to uphold the declaration of independence, but attached a “rider” saying he would continue as a member of an associa- tion for advancement of cultural re- lations with Soviet Russia. | From the bulk of the State’s 40,000 | public and private school teachers | have come no serious objections.

By the Asso¢lated Press. BOSTON, December 12.—Forrest K. Wells, blind street singer, takes the stand today to answer the State's ac- cusation that he threw his almost blind sweetheart, Helen Martin, 27, to her death from a third-story window of a Boston rooming house. ‘The prosecution rested its case yes- terday after a police stenographer read Wells' purported confession, in which he admitted throwing the woman and her dog out of the window. He had contemplated marrying her after a year and a half of discontent together. Y1 couldn’t leave her, and yet I couldn't stand her. What would she do if I left; go crazy and go to an in- sane asylum?” read the purported con- fession. “I thought it would be more merci- ful if I killed than if I just left.” Police testified to finding the dying woman and her dying dog early one morning last July. An autopsy report presented at the trial showed she died of a fractured skull, shock and multiple fractures of her legs. Wells is charged with murder in the first degree, which carries a mandatory death sentence in Massachusetts. MISSING JUROR FOUND but in Wrong Court Room. BUFFALO, N. Y.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, December 12— Former Gov. Gifford Pinchot, com- paratively silent politically since he left office last January, returned to the wars last night with a plea for the Republican party not to “kid itself,” but to realize that only in unity lies hope for victory in 1936. ‘Throughout & speech prepared for delivery at a’ dinner in honor of State Representative Morton Witkin, re- cently elected a Philadelphia county commissioner, the tall Independent F. Guffey into his criticism of the State’s present Democratic Jeader- ship, and charged that politics was governing the distribution of relief in the commonwealth: He voiced resentment at “debauch- ing of the public service,” and added, “I propose to do what I can to put an end to it.” BEES MBVED SOUTH Apiarist Works Them Overtime by Following Sunshine.

Flyers and Man Who Claims to Have Seen Aviator En Route to Village By the Associated Press, GEORCGETOWN, British Guiana, December 12.—Dispatches from Para- maribo, Dutch Guiana, last night re- ported two expeditions were pushing through rough hinterland toward a tiny Indian village in Brazil in search of Paul Redfern, United States aviator who has been missing since he crashed eight years ago on a flight to Rio de Janiero, Art Williams, former Army pilot who taught Redfern to fly, divided his aerial party of four and was lead- ing one party by canoe toward the village where the American pllot may be living, crippled and held by Indians, Harry Wendt, Willlams® co-pilot, arrived in Paramaribo yesterday for supplies and said they had flown over the village. There was no suitable landing, so Wendt will follow Willams by canoce. The trip will require two weeks, he said. Another party, including J. H. Roch and G. Pacht and operating from Panama, left Paramaribo three days ago and promised to return with Redfern “inside a hundred days.” A former employe of & Brazilian rubber concern, Rorh claims to have | met Redfern in the Indian village in | 1933, “Aryanism” Proof Required.
