EXAMPLE OF CITIZEN BAD FOR CRIMINALS
Atlantic City, N. J., May 23, (UP) —The non-criminal class of citi¬ zens are setting such a bad ex¬ ample in morality that it Is almost impossible for judges and proba¬ tion officers to guide transgressors back to good citizenship, Prof. Sheldon Glueck said tonight at the annual dinner of National Proba¬ tion Association.
"How can the officer preach mor¬ ality to criminals when all about them many non-criminal people of good position and social eatcem violate conventions ns a matter of course?" he asked.
The Ghost Walks
Washington, May 23. (UP) —The Blue Eagle of NRA died nt the hands of Supreme Court juat a year ago next week, but tonight Its ghost atill stalked the marble halls where the jurists hold court.
The famoua deciaion which set off violent debate In and out of Congress has since become one of the most quoted of the court's opinions.
Few decisions of lower courts dealing with New Deal ca.ses are written without quoting the famous Schechler "sick chicken" case either on the question of the right of Congre.ss to delegate power or on the power of the Federal gov¬ ernment to control inter-State com¬ merce.
Business has reacted to the de¬ rision In various ways. Many in¬ terests have sought a substitute for the outlawed act. Others have sought to accomplish the same ends by voluntary trade agree¬ ments.
The court itself has done much to amplify the decision in its de¬ liberations In the past year. Set¬ ting down more judicial law than it probably has in any correspond¬ ing period in its history, thc trib¬ unal has extended the NRA de¬ cision farther than most of its ob¬ servers had been willing to con¬ cede.
Since the Schechter caae was de¬ cided the court has:
Condemned governmental con¬ trol of agriculture in any form as an   invasion  of  the  rights  of  tho

The plan of union, approved two weeks ago by Methodist Episcopal Church at Quadrennial conference at Columbus, Ohio, would decen¬ tralize control of the united church and place ita government under a "conncctional" board which wouid replace six Independent boards at present operating.
The plan was conceived by Dr.- Ivouis Wright, preaident of Bald¬ win-Wallace College and chairman of a superviaional system appointed four years ago by Methodist Epis¬ copal Church. The syatem, after a year's* study, submitted the "con- nectional"  board  plan of union.
Opponents of the merger, speak¬ ing from the conference floor, based their opposition on feeling that Methodist Proteatant Church would "lose Its Identity" in ths merger and that theological ques¬ tions and issues of property rights would cause dissension among the united congregations.
After approving the plan, thc conference recessed until Sundiy services.
The Quadrennial meeting is slated to adjourn May 27.

Suicide by the woman was evi¬ dently carried out in accordance with well-laid plana. There were no marks of identification on any of her clothing.
Through wrappings on the bottle of lysol, police traced her move¬ ments from a nearby drug store to the River Common where she tore off the paper of one end of the package and raised the lethal dose to her lips.
Death Is Witnessed
Pedestrians who witnessed the suicide told police the act was car¬ ried out calmly by the woman, whose age was* estimated between 35 and 38 yenrs. As she slid slowly lo the ground, writhing in agony, four youths in the vicinity ran to her assistance.
They pinced her in an automobile and started oul for Mercy hospital, followed by a cily police radio cruiser.
A atomach pump was applied at | the hospital hut the woman had consumed ao much lysol she was beyond recovery. Her death oc¬ curred about fifty-five minules after being admitted to the hos¬ pital.
