a Chamber Group Seeks Relief for Supervisors A delegation of officials of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce yesterday urged formation of a seven-member county air pollution commission which would direct the battle against smog and thus remove the task from the Board of Supervisors. Dr. Arnold Beckman, vice-president of the Chamber and chairman of its air pollution committee, was spokesman for a group which included Asa Call, insurance executive; Chamber President Carl Mil-' ler; Steven Royce, chairman of the Citizens' Clean Air Committee; Earl Anderson of the Los Angeles Realty Board; Chamber Past President Roy M. Hagen, and others. Burden on Supervisors Dr.

Beckman emphasized that "air pollution control responsibilities have placed what has become an impossible burden upon the Supervisors, already carrying the heaviest loads of any elected local officials." He stressed that direction of the attack on smog should be in the hands of "persons able to act without detriment of other duties." He said that the plan could best be implemented by amendments to the State Air Pollution Control Act which should be recommended to the present session of the State Legislature. Chamber thinking as expressed by Dr. Beckman held that the antismog law is fundamentally sound and that only minor modifications are needed to broaden it i sphere so as to include a special commission.

Times photo Convicted Effeminate Voice Cure Reported BY WILLIAM S. BARTON Effeminate voices of older boys caused by mother fixations can be cured in a day, it was disclosed yesterday by Dr. Paul J. Moses of Stan ford University Medical School.

He was among speak ers at the annual meeting of 300 eye, ear, nose and throat specialists in Elks Temple. Dr. Moses explained that many boys insist on speaking in high voices although the normal male voice is possible because they are afflicted by strong mother fixations. These boys feel that their mothers represent security and aren't forced to go out and battle the world as their fathers must do. Instinctively, such boys cling to their falsetto voices as long as possible.

Finger on Neck "But," said the Stanford physician, "it's easy to cure this serious difficulty in a few hours or one day. All you have to do is to put your fin ger against a particular spot on the boy's neck and get him to try to clear his throat. The result is that he speaks in a more masculine tone and tends to retain that tone in the future." Choir boys, asserted the au thority, often persist in singing falsetto in church while talking in much lower voices at home. If these boys stay too long in choirs and are sub ject to such changing voice habits, he added, the strain causes them to lose all future chances of becoming opera stars. "Some people," according to Dr.

Moses, "get remarkable voice cnanges with varying degrees of emotionalism. If men love their wives, their voices are much superior at home to what they are in offices where they fear the boss. Lawyers Strain Voices "All those who, like some lawyers, constantly try to talk in impressive, deep voices, are actually straining their yoices. The vocal cords, Wee violin strings, are designed for certain frequencies. Strain ing may cause actual physical damage that may be mistaken for sore throats.

One of Dr. Moses' unusual findings is that it probably will become possible to measure the effects of treatment for adults who are mentally deficient by studying their voices. Those with split personali ties, he said, may talk like Hitler when abnormal, but in pleasing tones during the brief periods of rationality. "Every neurotic change," added the doctor in an inter view, "affects the voice.

2 Attorneys of Theft in Judge Finds Massey Inducing Woman to Attys. Lloyd Massey," 50, and Thomas Reynolds, 56, yesterday were found guilty of grand theft following a lengthy trial before Superior Judge David Coleman and in volving a $269,500 profit in a stock transaction in an estate.

A short time later, through Atty. James Warner, the heirs took the matter to civil courts and the profit was paid into the estate and criminal prosecution followed. Assailed by Judge Cnmmentin? on the evi dence before announcing his verdict, the judge said: "Probably these men aw not sit down in a room and agree on what they were go ing to do but tney were an set to go along on parallel courses and make what money fell into their laps This transaction was indefensible." -TuHse Coleman set Feb.
