McCrea Looks
For-New Clues
In Ferris Case'
Ferris Linked With Ring
Of Milk Bottle Thefts In
Statement Of His Wife
Deny Mistreatment
Hearing On Habeas Corpus
Writ Postponed Pending
Further Investigation
DETROIT, July 3 - Recorder's
Judge Christopher E. Stein post-
poned a hearing today on a habeas
corpus writ sought by William Lee
Ferris, also known as William Sweitz-
er, confessed slayer of Howard Carter
Dickinson, after Prosecutor Duncan
C. McCrea said "There are angles in
this case we still have to investigate."
Prosecutor Duncan C. McCrea had
planned to file first degree murder
warrants against Ferris and two of
the three "party girls" held with him,
but delayed this action when the
court granted the postponement of
the hearing until Friday.
Hints Other Crimes
"I am still convinced that Ferris
was implicated in other criminal ac-
tivities," said the prosecutor.
The prosecutor had intended to
name in murder warrants Ferris and
Florence and Loretta Jackson, sis-
ters who formerly danced in cheap
cafes and burlesque houses.
McCrea plans to use Jean Miller,
the third woman held, as a state wit-
ness. It was her statement, McCrea
said, that convinced him the four had
planned the "cocktail bar racket"
which enticed the New York attorney
to his death last week.
The confessions of the four said
they expected to find at least a thous-
and dollars in Dickinson's pockets,
instead f ony $34.
Prosecutor McCrea revealed today
that his questioning of Mrs. Violet
Ferris, 22, Ferris' wife, late yesterday,
linked her husband with a milk bot-
tle theft ring which he said robbed
22 creameries of $2,500 worth of bot-
tles in 1932.
Ferris' Wife Is Diver
Mrs. Ferris, a carnival high diver
before her marriage six years ago,
told McCea her husband came home
and calmly packed his clothes last
Thursday, the day Dickinson's body
was found in Rouge park.
Attaches at police headquarters
said Ferris has become temperament-
al and sleeps on the floor instead of
the bunk in his cell.
Police superintendent John P.
Smith flatly denies the assertion of
Ferris' attorney, Ernest Goodman,
that his client has been mistreated
by the police.p
Meanwhile a wall of bitterness sep-
arate the Jackson sisters from Fer-
ris. They told interviewers they were
"bitter as hell" toward Ferris, al-
though ;they described in their con-
fessions how they planned with him
to relieve Dickinson of the large sum
of money they thought he carried.

Graphic Picture Of Human
Behavior Of Economic,
Social Importance
SYRACUSE, N. Y., July 3.-- (A') -
A graphic method of portraying mea-
sured human reactions, called the
"J" curve, has been worked out by
Floyd H. Alport, Ph.D., professor of
psychology, Syracuse university.
The measurements on which the
"J" curve is based would take the
guesswork out of many of the prob-
lems now troubling leaders trying to
improve social and economic condi-
tions. It is not a one-man product,
but the result of studies by several
scientific collaborators.
The curve is a reversed capital J,
without the tail being turned up. Its
top represents the maximum number
of persons likely to conform to a law,
rule or social custom. Its tail shows
the numbers who fail to conform
in varying, progressive degrees. The
slope of this tail is always down, in-
dicating decrease in non-conformists.
Most Autoists Obey Signals
A simple illustration is the conduct
of autoists at traffic signals. Those
obeying are the majority, the top of
the J. The tail shows exactly the
extent to which the regulations fail.
The curve has been tested in nu-
merous other ways, such as singing
in church, and getting to work on
time.
It is even said to work when ap-
plied to cows coming home to be
milked. Their internal urging, train-
ing and waning daylight bring them
home in a J curve peak.
Among humans, the J curve shows
the conflicts between social restric-
tions and customs and natural im-
pulses. It will measure the effective-
ness and firmness of a leader's con-
trot.
It is applicable to all vocations.
When a large number of vocations
show steep J curves, it means there
may be little individual freedom in
those callings.
Natural Inclinations Curbed
A thoroughly regimented society
would show groups of activities all
having high peaks in their J curves.
That condition would represent great
efficiency, from the standpoint of so-
cialization and planning.
It might not, Dr. Allport points
LONDON, July 3.- (AP) -The theor
that London was named after Helet
of Troy is offered by Harold Bayley
author of a new study of ancien
London.
He takes issue with writers wh
contend there was no town here be
fore the Roman occupation in 43 A.I
In Bayley's book, an ancient leg
end that London was founded b
Trojans is recalled. At any rate, ther
was supposed to have been a shrin
to a Helen, presumably the famou.
Trojan heroine, on the hill now sur
mounted by St. Paul's Cathedral.
Before the Romans built a temp]
to Diana there, this Helen, like he
successor, was portrayed as a huntres
with a greyhound beside her.
There were Cockneys even in earl
Celtic times, it is contended. The
dropped their "h's" just as the Lor
don Cockneys do today. As a resu:
Helen became Ellen.
The Celtic word for hill was "don.
Thus, Ellendon, then Ellondon an
finally London, says Bayley.

Leaders Of NEA'
Hunt Cure For.
Public Demand
Attempt To Prevent Open
Break By Appointing
Educating Committee
DENVER, July 3.-(AP) - Recon-
ciliation by resolution - a favorite
convention cure -was sought behind
bolted doors today by leaders of the
National Educational association for
ending demands for,"academic free-
dom."
The Denver News said it had
learned the first draft of one resolu-
tion in committee recommends the
appointment of a committee of five to
educate the public- on the question
and to investigate cases of asserted
prosecution.,
"It (such a resolution)," said Fred-+
erick L. Redefer, Washington, D.C.,
"is wholly inadequate to protect the
principle of academic freedom. "There
is absolutely no provision for action."
Eager to dispose ofh the abstract
arguments, the delegates gave in-{
creasing attention to the election of;
officers. A choice, in the words of Dr.
Willis A. Sutton, Atlanta, Ga., educa-;
tor, among "a Vermont violet, a Mass-
achusetts rose and an Iowa prairie
flower."
The candidates are Anne C. Wood-
ward, Somerville, Mass.; Agnes Sam-
uelson, Des Moines, Ia.; and Caroline
Woodruff, Carleton, Vt.
They have said they would be guid-
ed by convention action on the "aca-
demic freedom" question.
Neither the final proposals of the
resolutions committee nor the election
will be reached until tomorrow, but
the finger of delegate interest al-
ready was pointed at the committee
room, where Chairman George T.
Avery of Fort Collins, Colo., directed
executive sessions on controversial
expressions.
Portuguese Jails
Pay For Inmates
LISBON, July 3. -(P)- The Por-
tuguese government wants jailbirds,
offering them 75 cents a day and their
food with a guarantee that they will
not have to work.
The prisons in which they will be
confined form part of a reconstruc-
tion of the capital as it was 300 years
ago, one of the attractions of the "city
festival" now being held.
But the jail-birds are not. proving
so easy to catch. Plenty of real pris-
oners in Lisbon's penitentiaries have
offered their services, but the govern-
ment has declined these offers,. be-
cause the facsimile. of the jail has
lath and plaster walls.
The Careers And Personalities
Of Our Senators: William Borah
7. WILLIAM E. BORAH
WASHINGTON, - July 3. - (P) -
Once again the political spotlight
swings around to disclose the tall, an-
gular, bushy-haired figure of a man
who has stood in its rays for almost
a quarter of a century - William Ed-
gar Borah, Republican senior senator
from Idaho.

Prof. Sharman
Tells Of Camps
And Education
(Continued from Page 1)
in camping,,Professor Sharman stat-
ed. Among these trends are the de-
clining birth rate, the restriction of
immigration, the increasingly excel-
lent general health of the nation,
the influence of science and inven-
tion, the increase in the number of
women gainfully employed, and the
decrease in child labor and the con-
sequent added leisure time for youth.
"Camp environment and situations
afford opportunities for individual and
group learning by doing," Professor
Sharman emphasized. "The camper's
attitude is at the best for learning
because attendance is voluntary. He
wants to be there and do things. Of
course, too, there is a freedom of
choice of activity, and interest thus
goes deep.
"The finest opportunity for an
unbroken educational process is af-
forded by the camps, since the young
campers are under continuous super-
vision without any outside interfer-
ence. The camp and its activities
form an isolated environment mak-
ing it possible to have a maximum of
camp influence and a minimum of
outside distraction.'
"Economic and social barriers are
at a minimum. Outside status and
pressures are practically -eliminated."
In the boys' and girls' camps group
relations and the interdependencies
of campers are richer and more in-
tensive, Professor Sharman added.
The camps are natural, active, and
purposeful, he said, and this stimu-
lates children to care for themselves,
to adjust themselves under semi-
primitive conditions, to utilize .their
knowledge and understanding of mat-
ters of hygiene, nature, and the essen-
tials of civic responsibility and cit-
izenship.
ate's leading authorities on world af-
fairs, he now stands as out as advocate
of a G.O.P. purge..
His 70 years have left the "lone
wolf of politics" slightly stooped. He
has sharp eyes and a firm mouth
that becomes a hard line across a
rather broad face when he states a
conviction.
For about 15 years he has f ore-
stalled, almost single handed, the en-
trance of his nation into the World
Court and the League of Nations,
fighting against "entangling foreign
alliances." The rugged Idahoan is
a past master at debate.
Born in Wayne county, Ill., June 29,1
1865, Borah was educated in the
county, schools, Southern Illinois
academy, Enfield, and at Kansas State
University, Lawrence. He was ad-
mitted to the practice of law at
Lyons, Kas., in 1890, and later moved
to Boise, Idaho, his present home.
He practiced law in Idaho until
elected to the Senate in 1907 just after
a legal battle with Clarence S. Darrow,
who was defending William D. "Big
Bill" Haywood, Harry Orchard and
others on charges of killing Governor
Steunenberg during a strike of Idaho
miners.
Borah is serving his fifth term in
the Senate, having been elected last
in 1930.
Prof. Boston's
ShopTextbook
Is Completed
The treatise on "Engineering Shop
Practice," by Orlan William Boston,
professor of metal processing and di-
rector of the department of metal
processing in the College of Engi-
neering, has been completed with the
recent publication of the second vol-
ume of the work.
The work, as a whole, is intended to
prepare the studentt for the planning
of production, which correlates the
manufacturing processes with the
kinds and forms of material used.
Production machines are the most
important considerations of the re-
cently published volume, while -the
first volume dealt with basic processes.
The book is intended primarily as a
text, and is used in the College of En-
gineering, but it is also designed for
production and designing -engineers,
superintendents, foremen, and ma-
chine tool operators.
Federal Banks
Show 4 Billion
Deposit Growth
Nearly 3 Billion Rise Is
Reported In Inter-Bank
And U. S._Deposits
WASHINGTON, July 3 - ()
Growth of $4,000,000,000 in federal
reserve member bank deposits was
mentioned today by tle, federal re-
serve board as an outstanding de-
velopment of 1934.
This increase was exclusive of a
rise of about $2,700,000,000 in inter-
bank and United States government
deposits. Factors listed as important
were treasury expenditures, deposits
of gold certificates based on newly-
acquired gold and the issuance of
silver certificates.
In its annual report, the board
said:
"The increase in deposits, other
than bankers' deposits, was relatively
larger at banks in small towns and
in the agricultural sections of the
country than at banks in larger cities.
"Country banks, however, having
no direct 'access to the open market,
held a larger proportion of their new
deposits as idle balances, while city
banks invested a somewhat larger
proportion of the increase in their de-
posits in government securities and
open-market paper."
The board said that bank suspen-
sions during the year were fewer than
in any year since 1920. They num-
bered 57 licensed banks with deposits
of $36,793,000. Only one was a mem-
ber of the reserve system. The board
also reported that at the end of 1934
only 160 banks closed during the 1933
bank holiday remained unlicensed.
Nine hundred twenty others had been
placed in liquidation or receivership
during the year.
