Oyster Cracker Food Enough For ~ Hour of Intense Mental Effort Washington, April 28 (#) — One oyster cracker, or one half of a salted peanut has been found food enough to provide the extra calor- ies’ needed for an hour of intense mental effort. That is what Dr. Francis G. Bene- dict, director of the nutrition lab- oratory of the Carnegie Institute of Washington at Boston, told mem- bers of the National- Academy of Sciences at the opening of their an- nual meeting here today. The professor absorbed in intense mental effort for one hour, he said, has no greater extra demand for food during the entire time than the maid who dusts off his desk for five minutes. Results Seem Surprising ‘From the standpoint of dyna- mics,” he said, “it is perhaps sur- prising that the extra caloric de- mands, of mental effort aro so small.” Discussing the results of experi- ments jointly conducted by him and his wife, as. to the energy require- ments of intensc mental efforts, Dr. Benedict explained that five men and one woman were measured un- der three different conditions. The first measurement was taken during complete muscular and di- gestive repose, and ncarly as pos- sible in a state of mental vacuity. The second was made during “at- tention” or response to an electric signal, but with no active brain pro- cesses of a complex nature. The third measurement came during in- tense, sustained mental activity, as in the elaboration of arithmetic problems for an hour when each subject admitted that he was ment- ally exhausted. Pictures «All Same The general picture of the effect of mental effort was the same with all subjects, Dr. Benedict said. There were distinct heart increase rate, pronounced alteration in the gener- al character of respiration, a small increase in carbonic acid exhalation, and a slightly smaller increase in the oxygen consumption. In the per- iods of repose following the mental work, the speaker pointed out thgt all these factors immediately re- sumed their former level and na- ture. i C. of C. Asks Rogers To Check Job Hunters Believing that the fact that New Britain maintains a municipal labor bureau may have the influence of at- tracting job seckers from other towns, Secretary Ralph H. Benson of the Chamber of Commercg has asked Frank Rogers, director of the city labor bureau to check up on previous employment of applicants who ask the city to prvide work. “My ohly idea is that of taking care of local residents” said Mr. Benson in discussing his request.

YVandenburg Attacks Bill On Rivers and Harbors ‘Washington, April 28 (A—Senator Vandenberg, republican, Michigan, sald in a statement today he did not helieve the senate would pass the $111,000,000 rivers and harbors bill in the form in which {t was ap- proved last week by the fhouse. Describing it as “fat.” he said the measure was “jammed through the housc at a single high pressure sitting."® “There is much good in it he continued, “but there is much bad. Two many projects are traveling in- cognito. They are too to be safe or acceptable. There are too many suspicious presents on the Christmas tree. The bill must be debunked.” The measure is expected to be con- sidered by the senate commerce committee! of which Vandenberg is a member, at its regular Thursday.

PARKER GASE T0 BEDEBATED TODAY Battle Expected fo Begin Late| Today Belore Senate —_— ‘Washington, April 28 (#) — The nomination of Judge John J. Parker as an associate justice of the “su- prenfe court will be brought before the senate late today with a bitter controversy and a close vote in pros- pect. For the second time this year a determined effort Will be made to prevent the confirmation of onc of President Hoover’s appointees to the nation’s highest tribunal, on the ground that it tends to increase the court's majority of conservative opin- ion. The nomination is vigorously pro- tested by labor and negro orgamza- tigns, the former contending that Judge Parker is prejudiced against the working man and the latter that he has shown a bias against the ne- gro race. Judge Parker himself took issue with his critics in a letter to Senator Overman of North Carolina, which the latter made public last night. He asserted that in the labor case he was bound to follow a previous de- cision of the supreme court and that the negro protest was based upon a | misinterpretation of his campaign address. Gave Unfavorable Report The scnate judiciary committee a | week ago voted an unfavorable re- | port upon the nomination and at the same time defeated a motion ‘that Judge Parker be invited to appear and reply in person to the charges against him. Senator Overman, who is supporting the nomination, was the chairman of a judiciary sub-com- mittee which received the labor and negro complaints. The opponents of confirmation to- day claimed enough votes to reject the nomination while administration leaders conceded that the vote will bo close. The latter are counting heavily upon the support from the | democratic side of the chamber to offset defections within their party. There -have been indications, how- ever, that this assistance may not be forthcoming. Specifically, the labor protest was based upon Judge Parker's decision as a member of the circuit court of appeals, upholding an injunction which restrained the United Mine workers from attempting to organize the employes of the Red Jacket Coal | and Coke company of West Virginia, under which they agreed not to af- filiate themselves with any union while in the employ of the company. "My answer to the charge of the labor people,” Judge Parker said in his letter to Senator Overman, “is that I followed the law as laid down by the supreme court . . . it is of course the duty of the judges of the lower federal courts to follow deci- sions of the supreme court. Any other course would result in chaos.” He went on to point out that the “yellow dog contract” has twice been upheld by the supreme court. Has No Latitude “In view of this,” he continued. “it must bc obvious to anyonc that as a member of the court in the Red Jacket case, 1 had no latitude or discretion in expressing my opinion or views of my own but was bound | by these decisions to reach the con- | cldsion and to render the decision as La1d." Regarding the racial protest, Judge Parker wrote that in his campaign address he was secking to answer his opponents, who, he said, were at- tempting to inject the negro issue in- to the campaign *‘under a charge that the republican party in North Carolina intended to organizec the colored people and restore the con- ditions of the reconstruction era.” At the time, Parker was the republican nominee for governor of thaf state. “I endeavored to conduct my cam- paign for governor on a high plane and with fairness to all classes of people, and, while’I made it clear that my party was not seeking to organizc the colored people of the state as a class, I at no time advo- cated denying them the right to par- ticipate in the clection in cases where they were qualified to do so, nor did I advocate denying them any other of their rights under the constttution and laws of the United States.” Senator Allens republican, Kansas, last night defended Judge Parker and announced that the nominee has his support. He said that Parker's recent decisions have shown a full judicial fairness to the negro race and that the decisions in the Red Jacket case was the only onc possible under the rulings of the supreme court. BOYS SNATCH PURSE The corner of Corbin place and Church street, a section that is fair- ly well lighted and traversed, was the scene of a daring pocketbook snatching Saturday night when a pocketbook that Ilizabeth Borselli of 320 Church street was carrying was grabbed by fled down Corbin place.
