(U. Ferdinand A. Geiger, 71, EasMrn Wisconsin Federal District Court judge for twenty-seven years before he resigned last May because of poor health, died yesterday. Geiger gained national prominence in December, 1937, when he dismissed a grand jury investigating alleged anti-trust violations among large automobile manufacturers. He contended then that there had been "highly improper" conversations at Washington before the grand Jury completed its investigation.

His explanation of the dismissal drew from the then United States Attorney General Homer S. Cum-mlngs an accusation that Geiger was assuming "dictatorial powers." Geiger subsequently was cleared in a congressional Investigation. Geiger was appointed to the federal bench in March, 1912, by President William Howard Taft. Funeral services will be held tomorrow with burial at Cassville, Wis. Besides his wife, he leaves four we have completely 'TALKING HOUSE" daily from to 9:30 p.

STDK iiil vi FULLER 1892 human speech began with the cry. However, I believe that this was a static function and not dynamic. That Is, the human merely opened and closed his mouth quickly and didn't express a dynamic or sustained sound. "My idea is that primitive man, who can be observed in parts of Africa, produced sound in eating as a proof of enjoyment. It wasn't organized sound, but a smacking of lips and crunching of Jaws.

Even now It is traditional in China that the host is not satisfied if the guest does not produce such sounds. "Then when a primitive man would see a pretty bird, or something else he liked he would produce the sort of sound he did when eating. My theory is that speech grew out of eating. It Is my contention that speech and eating are both parts of the same function of the muscles, and if one can eat, and we all do, then one can speak unless there is some incurable organic defect." In addition to his work with those suffering from functional psychical defects. Dr.

Froeschels has developed a means of restoring speech and complete respiration without an operation to those suffering paraylsis of the vocal cords. His method Is to have the patient do physical exercises while making simple vowel sounds. The cords are loosened by this procedure, the patient breathes more freely, and soon Is able to speak, Dr. Froeschels says. Differs With Freud.

Dr. Froeschels differs with Dr. Sigmund Freud, of psychoanalysis fame. Of Dr. Freud, Dr.

Froeschels said: "He is a very ingenious man. But he is like a man who wears blinkers. He sees only one part to man, when there are two parts, the physical and another part which I will call spiritual for lack of a better term. It Is this second half that Freud neglects. "Freud Is too matrialistic.

His teaching and methods need the addition of philosophy. My belief Is that man should be made whole. We can't merely treat the physical self, but we must treat that spiritual half that Freud neglects. If there are two parts we shouldn't allow one part to die. Freud's methods hurt the self-confidence of the patient and may do damage to him.

"Freud Is partly right In his diagnosis and he has given much of value to the world, but his theories are incomplete and much digging remains to be done. He is an ingenious psychologist, but he had the misfortune to come into a district near philosophy and he is no philosopher. That Is why a part of the world instinctively refuses his methods." Dr. Froeschels, who stated that a daughter-in-law of Freud had been his assistant at one time, declared that he had often talked with Freud, but had found him completely immersed in his own ideas. Dr.

Froeschels will lecture to those taking teacher training courses at the Institute. He declared that the institution was on the highest level, and pointed out that speech of the children treated there was the "best I ever heard in such cases." At this point, Dr. Froeschels was Joined by his wife, a petite, attractive woman, who helps him In his work, and by Dr. Augusta Jel-linek, also of Vienna, and now connected with the institute. Dr.

Jel-linek. a former student and aid of Dr. Froeschels, was professor of speech for five years at the University of Rome, and lectured in Genoa and Milan. nice enough to mix with your loveliest possessions!

Fluted less. Because Dr. Emil Froeschels, for twenty-five years professor on the medical faculty of the world-famous University of Vienna, Is Jewish, he was forced to leave when German troops took over Austria last year. Today Dr.

Froeschels is research professor of logopedia at Central Institute for the Deaf. 818 South Kingshighway. Logopedia is the study and treatment of speech and voice disorders. Thoughtful and precise. Dr.

Froeschels has been a recognized world-authority in his field for many years. He was president of the International Society of Logopedia for fourteen years; president of the Austrian Phonetic Society for ten years; one of the few foreign contributors to the American Cyclopedia of Medicine; consultant on speech disorders to the city of Vienna, and the author of several hundred articles on the origin and cure of speech and voice defects, as well as a philosophical writer. Included in his twelve volumes on speech disorders are "Philosophy and Aesthetics of Speech." "Psychology of Speech." "Speech Therapy." and a philosophical work, "Reason and Will," which he describes as "pure" philosophy. Not only has Dr. Froeschel written extensively in his field, but he has advanced a theory and practice in the cure of functional and psychical speech defects.

(Functional defect is the Inability to use normal speech muscles properly, and psychical defect Is caused by an Inferiority complex or a mere fear of speaking.) Elaborates on Methods. Dr. Froeschels, about 50 years old, semi-bald, of medium height and wearing horn-rimmed, thick-lensed glasses. Is well able to speak for himself In excellent English. Seated on his porch at 4568 Papin street and contemplating the quiet, tree-shaded street.

Dr. Froeschels went on to elaborate on his methods. "Although I am a doctor of medicine, most of my work has been with troubles of speech and voice, and mostly with those who are suffering from functional and physical defects," he said. "It was only after about fifteen years of teaching at the university where I became an associate professor at 28 years, that I discovered a new method of treatment, a method which does not consist In any way of physical exercises, breathing exercises or articulating exercises." Asked how he made the discovery. Dr.

Froeschels answered simply, "I believe It was a gift of the Lord. "First I explain to my patient that there are very great similarities between speaking and singing on one side, and eating on the other. Then I tell my patients to relax and think that they are only eating when they speak. The results, I am happy to say, have been very good so far. "It takes about two or three months of treatment to cure a patient suffering from a speech defect, while voice defects can be cured In several weeks." The basis of Dr.

Froeschels theory Is that eating and speaking are Identical actions. He points out that an individual at one end of a restaurant may seem to be eating when he Is speaking, and vice versa. He believes that if an individual with a speech impediment can eat he can also speak without difficulty If treated properly. Tells His Belief. Dr.

Froeschels explains the unity of eating and speaking by using primeval man as his example. "Darwin believed," he said, "that FLYING FORTRESS BREAKS ALTITUDE MARK AT DAYTON Carries Big Payload Up 8,200 Feet Another Army Plane Sets Seven Records. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. (U.

The independent Nichi Nichi said Japan's material resources permitted her to withstand foreign boycotts, and added: -It is not only a crafty old power 'Britain) that must be taught a lesson. A spoiled and Impudent power should also be taught its place. Japan has spoiled the United States because it has been too courteous. The liberal progressive Miyako said: "The action of the Roosevelt administration has destroyed an 80-year record of Japanese-American friendship. In event the United States persists In refusing to rec-ornize the new situation in Asia we must rrgard America as our enemy." The cabinet discussed the treaty abrogation today and then Baron Kiichiro Hlranuma.

1. (U. P) Mrs. Harry Wilhoit, American, said on her arrival here today that she had been partly disrobed at the order of Japanese soldiers as she was about to board a steamship at Tslngtao. Mrs.

Wilhoit. a native of Seattle, said the Japanese took from her 240 Chinese dollars They gave her a "receipt" for them, she said, but refused to permit her to take Chinese money with her for traveling expenses.

She said she Insisted on being taken to the American consulate but that the Japanese Instead took her to a nearby shack, where a Japanese woman searched her.

1 (U. Great Britain, as part of an agreement with Japan on the British concession at Tientsin, has agreed to surrender four Chinese suspected by the Japanese of assassinating a Chinese customs official. It was reported today. The refusal of the British to surrender the suspects on the ground that the Japanese had no evidence them precipitated the Japanese blockade of the concession. The agreement was understood to be tentative, and to provide for British and Japanese co-operation in preventing the abuse of th Tientsin concession as an anti-Japanese base for Chinese terrorists.

Under the agreement, Japan would lift the blockade. The Japanese and British negotiators now discussing the situation at Tokio have further arranged. It was said, for the British to enlarge their police force in the concession. Britain was reported to have begun consultations with the United States and France on Japan's demand for recognition of Japanese-sponsored currency In northern China, and for surrender of worth of silver held by Chinese banks In the British concession. Sharp Fighting Reported.

CHUNGKING. CHINA. Aug. U. Severe fighting was reported today along the Peiping-Hankow railroad.

Prime ministers and presidents "do not know a thing more about war than you do." Thomas W. Lamont told newspapermen on his arrival yesterday from a five week "quiet holiday" in France and England. The J. P. Morgan Co.

partner said, however, that he encountered no criticism In either of the two countries of the United States neutrality policy. "They took that attitude and I thought it correct." Lamont said. "They did not criticize Isolationism or anything eke. They thought that our business." When a rriorter mentioned that there was "less war talk in the headlines of American newspapers." lamont commented: "I should think that that is a reflection of somewhat decreasing tension over there."
