PROJECT URGED Includes Highway to Join Mohawk Trail S. Would Pay Half of $20,000,000 Cost More than 300 men and women attended the hearing yesterday before the Legislative Committee on Highways and Motor Vehicles in the Gardner Auditorium, State House, on a bill for the construction of a highway and rapid transit system connecting Boston, Somerville, Cambridge and Arlington, involving the expenditure of approximately The bill was filed by the Massachusetts Improvement Association and was explained by Van Ness It was stated that 10,000 men would be employed for about two years.

Fifty percent of the expense would be met by the Federal Government, it was said. Mohawk Trail Route tvio nhiortivf" i tr eoirmlete the Mohawk Trail route into the heart of the. Boston northern terminal cus-trift nnH at the same time to extend rapid transit into Somerville and to use an existing rauroaa rigm oi way in large measure for the joint facility created. The recent completion of the Cambridge-Concord link of the Mohawk trail route occasioned this proposal. The plan is tc exiena me subway from either Haymarket or Bowdoin sqs, Boston, to a new rfirpftiv under the North Sta tion concourse and then under the Charles River direct to a station under Lechmere sq.

The present viaduct would be widened for a four-lane highway to lead directly from both the present Northern Artery and this proposed "Northwestern Artery" into the Hay-market sq district, the central artery and the Sumner traffic tunnel. The rapid tiansit line would go under the Northern Artery and emerge in the Boston Maine train yard and run out to Somerville Junction and thence to North Cambridge and Alewife Brook where a terminal would be made at the traffic circle. High speed trolley connections would be established for Arlington Heights and Belmont. Auto traffic would follow out th present Northern Artery until it reached Medford st and then, with a widening of the latter, extend to the railroad right of way and run above the transit tracks as far as the junction and then run parallel with the rapid transit on the same level without grade crossings to the various local thoroughfares and finally to the traffic circle and the highway to the west. Advantages of Plan Advantages claimed for the plan are rapid transit at lowest cost for this district; a through route for heavy trucks and bus traffic from all western and northwestern points directly Boston; preservation of existing property values and creation of new values in Arlington, Belmont and Somerville; improvement for the North Station district in Boston; coordination of the various projects into a comprehensive plan such as grade separation at the Northern Artery and Washington st, Somerville; elimination of many street car lines, revision of local bus services and improvement of such thoroughfares as Massachusetts av by removing both tracks and so-called safety islands.

John F. Foster, Somerville alderman, referred to the scheme as an Elysium and a Utopia. "Somerville should be put under a State administration to get rid of the gang with their feet in the public trough," was the opinion of Alderman Foster. Appearing in favor were Senator James C. Scanlan, Representatives Philip Sherman, Eugene H.

Giroux and Edward T. Brady of Somerville, Mayor Ha gan of Somerville, Representative Nelson B. Crosby of Arlington, Frank J. Smith, business agent of the Electricians' Union, and John F. Knight, chairman of the Somerville rapid transit committee.

JAMAICA PLAIN AUT0IST GIVEN LENIENCY FOR AID TO PARENTS OF VICTIM PROVIDENCE, Feb 26 (A. Edwin Whiteway, 35, of 4 Germania st, Jamaica was given a deferred sentence in Superior Court here today after the court was informed he had purchased a farm for the parents of a child killed by, his automobile. Whiteway was driving a car in Charlestown last April when it struck Mr and Mrs Eugene Mason as they wheeled their 3-year-old child in a carriage. The child was killed and the parents injured. It was brought out that White-way had rendered financial aid to the Masons, paying for a farm for" them in Westerly.

Judge Herbert L. Carpenter gave Whiteway the deferred sentence, stating he felt it better for the defendant to assist the Masons financially than for the court to send Whiteway to jaiL GOODWILL DINNER MEETING AT TEMPLE 0HABEI SHALOM A distinguished group of clergymen and laymen attended the Goodwill dinner-meeting sponsored by the Brotherhood of Ohabei Shalom last night in the social hall of the temple in Brookline. Pres Benjamin G. Shapiro presided. More than 1000 members, friends and guests of the Brotherhood were present.

Speakers were Dr Walter Van Kirk, secretary of the Department of International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council of Churches; Msgr M. J. Splaine of St Mary's Church, Brookline, and Rabbi Samuel J. Abrams, spiritual leader of Temple Ohabei Shalom. The musical program was by the Rangers Male Quartet, under direction of Norman Arnold.

Dr Van Kirk spoke on "The Present World Situation Will It Be Peace or War?" Rabbi Abrams talked on "The Call of Amrica." IS PAYING TOO MUCH Robart Says Farm 'Act' Unfair to New England Ralph W. Robart, State Director of the Necessaries of Life Division, charged yesterday that Massachusetts Is paying more than its fair share toward farrn recovery, in a letter to Representatives Thomas Dorgan and John F. Aspell, both of Boston. "We of Massachusetts are paying heavily for agricultural adjustment." Mr Robart wrote. "It is quite ap- Sarent that the purpose of the act as not materialized in this Commonwealth, which, in substance, was to provide a farmer purchasing power from which he could purchase industrial produce in the city and thereby create employment in the city and a purchasing pdwer capable of meeting advanced farm prices." Director Robart will go to Washington today to present the complaint before the Administration and the Massachusetts Congressional delegation.

The food bill in Massachusetts has increased approximately $350,000,000 a year above February, 1933, Robart declares. The letter to the two Representatives was in reply to a communication from them concerning the jump in food prices. Director Robart re- pnea in pan: "It cannot be said that the retail nricps of food are out of line with the wholesale prices; in fact, whole sale food prices have advanced 1.4 percent as against a 3t-percenr increase in retail prices. Unfortunately, our geographical location penalizes our consumers as much, if n5t more than any other State in the Union. Only 4 percent of our population are engaged in agriculture and they provide less than 10 percent of the foods consumed by us.

Of these foods, livestock is dependent upon grain from the West for food, so that our production costs are necessarily high er." NORTH SHORE BEACH INQUIRY IS OPPOSED Abandonment of Andover Project Aired The Legislative Committee on Rules gave a hearing yesterday afternoon on the petition of Representatives James F. Tobin and Edward A. Coffey of Boston for the creation of a special commission to study the beaches on the North Shore, especial- lly Swampscott and Manchester, for the purpose of giving the public more opportunities for enjoying those resorts. The petitioners alleged that people from outside those towns are restricted from using the beaches. Vigorous opposition was offered by Senator Cornelius F.

Haley of Row ley, Harry D. Linscott, town counsel for Swampscott, Representative Her bert W. Urquhart of Georgetown, Selectmen of Manchester and Swamp scott, and others. About 40 others in I the room rose to show their disapproval the petition. 1 The objectors to the proposed legislation said Singing Beach at Manchester, and Kings Beach and Fisherman's Beach at Swampscott had always been open to the public and that the only beach which was limited in use was Preston Beach.

The committee heard also the petition of Ralph W. Emerson of Andover for the appointment of a committee to investigate the abandonment by the State of its plan for erecting an institution for the feebleminded in Andover. Mr Emerson wanted particularly to know why Phillips Academy in Andover had paid the State $10,000 to give up the proposed institution. Claude L. Allen, representing Phillips Academy, said the facts were well known.

The trustees of the academy gave the State $10,000 to reimburse it in part for its expenditures in acquiring options on property, which options were not exercised. Mr Allen said there had been no concealment of the fact that the trustees of the academy thought the location of a State institution in the town would injure the academy and did what they could to prevent it. They convinced Gov Ely of the justice, of their cause. RATE REDUCTIONS TOTAL $2,025,100 Rate reductions totalling $2,025,100 by power companies of Massachusetts as a result of the efforts of Gov Cur-ley's committee were detailed by the Governor's office yesterday as fol lows: The New England Power group, including the Massachusetts Utilities Association and Fitchburg, a reduction of Stone Webster group, Boston Edison, Associated Gas Electric group, Charlestown (Consolidated Gas of Boston), Manchester, $4000; Nantucket, Western Massachusetts group, Lynn, reductions, $2,103,100. From this total there should be deducted $78,000, of which $65,000 credited to Lowell and $13,000 credited to Athol had previously, been allowed.

This brings the net, reductions due -to the committee to $2,025,100. SAY TAX BILL WOULD RUIN TEXTILE INDUSTRY Destruction of the textile industry, removal of many plants from and the loss of Boston's position as a raw wool center, would follow the passage of a bill authorizing local taxation of stock in trade and fixtures of business corporations, the Legislative Committee on Taxation was told yesterday. B. Loring Young, representing the Associated Industries of Massachu setts described the bill as "unsound, unworkable and absolutely destructive." FAVORS BARRING ALIENS FROM STATE, COUNTY JOBS A favorable report on the bill prohibiting the employment of aliens by the State or counties was voted yesterday by the Legislative Committee on Public Service. The bill, filed by Representative Bernard P.

Casey, Dorchester would take effect Sept 1 next. There are now 457 aliens employed in the Department of Mental Diseases alone, says Representative Casey, and a total of 700 ia ail State departments Chorus of Opposition by Communities Involved' Investigation by a commission of the creation of a Greater Boston to include nearby municipalities was enthusiastically indorsed yesterday by Mayor Mansfield of Boston and as roundly criticized by a score of speakers representing the cities and towns which, would be affected. Arguing that the future prosperity of Boston depends on the accom plishment of the Greater Boston plan. Mayor Mansfield told the Joint Committee on Rules of the Legislature, that Boston is losing population for the first time in its history. Representative Bowker of Brookline termed the proposal "dangerous" and one which would make the outlying commtmities involved in the merger "green pastures for Boston." He felt it would lead to the establishment of a single huge city of Boston in time with loss of identity for all the other municipalities.

Freight Rates Mayor Mansfield criticized freight differentials as tending to "reduce Boston to poverty, and impoverishing the neighbor cities and towns." "If prosperity is to return to Boston," the Mayor declared, "the Interstate Commerce Commission must be impressed with the fact that Boston is not just a provincial city but a metropolis deserving of attention." "Shipping bf Boston is now merely coastwise," said the Mayor. "Wharves ara idle. Liners stop only for a short while going to and from New York. Storoe, warehouses and lofts are vacant. "Yet, we could bring prosperity back both to Boston and Greater Boston, if we could, get the Interstate Commerce Commission to remove tne differential rates." Mayor Mansfield, also pointed out the savings in coordinated pdblic service? such as police, fire, schools, health and welfare.

Sees Hand of Curley Because the bill would allow the Governor to appoint the investigating commission, Representative Bowker said he could not help believing the Governor is "behind the scenes in this bill" Selectman Walter J. Cusick of Brookline maintained the subject is not "even worth 1 a study." He pointed out that Brookline recently borrowed $300,000 at an interest rate of .22 percent. Representative William M. Melley, Chelsea, spoke in opposition and the following were recorded 1 as against the proposal: Selectmen of Weymouth, Norwood. Walpole, Stoughton.

Canton, Arlington; Lexington, Winchester and Wellesley, Mayor MacDonald, Waltham; Mayor Ross, Quincy; Senator Holmes, Weymouth: Ex-Mayor McGrath, Quincy; George F. Hines, Quincy Chamber of Commerce, Kep-resentatives Joseph Babcock, Milton; Frank Coughlin, Norwood; Stanley S. Bates and John R. Shaughnessey, both of Quincy. Mayor Mansfield denied that Gov Curley had been consulted about the bill or had anything to do with it.

GEAGAN BROUGHT TO CHARLESTOWN Gets 28 to 38 Years for Brockton Kobbery Michael V. Geagan of Dorchester was placed in solitary confinement at the State Prison, Charlestown, at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon" after he had been brought there under guard from Plymouth County Superior Court where he received a sentence of from 28 to 38 years. A jury found Geagan guilty of armed robbery in connection with the theft of the payroll at Brockton City Hall, Oct 16, 1934. He received from Judge Frank J. Donahue the most severe sentence ever passed out in Plymouth County.

He was also found guilty on all counts on a second indictment charging assault with intent to kill George A. Perkins, the payroll guard, and was given an additional seven to 10 year sentence to run concurrently with the other. The jury received the case at 11:22 yesterday morning and went to lunch at 1 o'clock. Shortly after their return they agreed on their After the verdict was announced, Julius H. Soble of Boston of defense counsel asked for clemency and urged the minimum sentence be set low.

Within a few days, prison authorities will decide to what kind of work Geagan will be assigned. DOCTORS OPPOSE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR WORKERS Why doctors and dentists of Massachusetts are opposed to the establishment of health insurance and medical service for industrial workers ad ministered by a State commission. was explained yesterday before the Legislative Committee on Labor and Industries by speakers representing the medical and dental professions. The bill advocating the health insurance commission, was introduced by Representatives Carney of New Bedford and Grant of Fall River, and strongly supported by Robert J. Watt, legislative agent foe the State federation of Labor and Margaret Wiesman, representing the Con sumers' League.

"No group or profession has done more charity among the poor than the doctors," argued Dr Charles E. Mongan of Somerville, in opposition to the bill. "What physician is not tending dozens "of poor families and donating his time to hospitals?" The medical profession, Dr Mongan sam, is opposed to placing the medt cal profession under lay control. Dr A. S.

Begg. acting secretary of the Massachusetts Medical Society; Dr William H. Hoyt, representing the Massachusetts Dental Society, and Dr George C. Anthony, representing the staff of the Newton Hospital, opposed the bill. Speakers in favor included Representative Carney of New Bedlprd, City Councilor Norton of Boston, and POOR PA "DaTe made much money for while that he thought of gettin' a second wife, hut hi business has fallen off until now he's not makin' as much a even his first wife spends."

ASKS LICENSE F0R CROP HANDLERS Amendments of Marketing Control -Given Hearing WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (A. The A. A. A. amendments, 1935 model, today began a lumpy journey in Congress, with proponents putting forward arguments similar to those that failed to get them through at the last session.

Chester C. Davis, Farm Administrator, told the House Agricultural Committee that the amendments were vital to the farmers and in particular to the growers of fruits, vegetables and dairymen. "Those who are looking for ghosts," he said, "can always find things -of which to be frightened." The Administration in this statement apparently was anticipating the opposition sure to be heard. Many handlers and processors of farm prod-ucas are certain to oppose the amendments vigorously. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration changed its strategy this year.

The amendments were rewritten and hearings began in. the friendly House instead of the Senate, as last year. Byrd of Virginia and Smith of South Carolina led the Senate opposition in the last Congress. Smith has already said he felt the revised amendments satisfactory and the Virginian said some of the things he most objected to had been eliminated. Aside from new proposals on processing taxes and benefit payments, the amendments are designed to assure Secretary Wallace power to force handlers of farm products, through licensing, to enter and abide by marketing agreements.

Power also would be given to allow the A. A. A. to examine the books and records of parties to the marketing agreements. "Unless a license can be used to bring a recalcitrant minority into line," said Davis, "marketing agreements are not more effective than any plans depending entirely upon voluntary cooperation have been in the past." ASKS OBSERVANCE ON BOSTON MASSACRE DATE Gov Curley, in a proclamation issued yesterday, called for the observance of the 165th anniversary of the Boston Massacre on March 5.

Remembering With the Eyes 'By GEORGE T. EAGER THE progress of visual education and the extensive tests of its effectiveness are one of the most convincing proofs of the power of printed advertising. Ideas and impressions conveyed to the human brain through the eye seem to surpass all other methods in effectiveness. For two and one half days a group of 96 school children were taught a certain subject throuch me use or mere words. A group equal in number and intelligence were given the same information through visual methods in one-half hour of time instead of two and a half days.

Both groups were then examined for their knowledge of the subject. The group taught by visual methods knew six times more about the subject than the other group. Managers of hotels, restaurants and cafeterias know the power of eye appeal. Tests have been made with two dishes of the same identical food. One dish is served more daintily, garnished properly, and made to look better.

Both may have the same identical taste, but the dish with the eye appeal sells better and leads customers to feel they have had a more satisfying meal. Much French pastry is basically the same as a similar item made at home with the same recipe. by interesting name, attractive appearance and decorations, and an impressive presentation by a skillful waiter it is given an eye appeal that makes it more desirable and attractive to most peopler (Copyrisht. 1935.) Ely Culbertson, internationally known bridge expert and Globe writer on the subject, arrived in Boston last night and will give two lectures on his new "system," which will bqreleased on March 18. He was accompanied by his pretty wife, favorite bridge partner, and ardent exponent, who accompanied him here on his brief trip that she might see Boston for the first time.

The Culbertsons arrived at the Back Bay Station shortly after 11 o'clock, and went at once to their hotel, where he will snatch some much-needed rest before delivering his two lectures. This afternoon the famous player, and teacher will be at the Hotel Statler and tonight he will speak at the Hotel Vendome. Claims Great Improvements am here to explain my new system," he said, as he got off the train last night. "It is the modern system of 1935, built for speed and safety, and streamlined to withstand the winds of chance. "Seriously, though, he continued, "its not new in the fundamentals of the game, but it is a great improve ment.

It incorporates all the vaste improvements of the past three years, and, of course, has been changed to meet the new laws and rules." The new rules, Mr Culbertson ex plained, will be officially released on March 31 to 4,000,000 bridge -players throughout the world. They constitute, perhaps, the first set to be accepted as standard throughout the bridge playing world. They represent tne composite ei- forts of Mr Culbertson's national co operative committee, Harold Vander-bilt's Whist Club card committee, the Portland Club of England andthe Commission Francaise du Bridge of France. "On the whole, they followed the American suggestions," Mr Culbert GOODWIN DENOUNCES FIXING AUTO CASES Says 'No Fix' Policy Would Out Accidents 30 Percent Fixing of automobile cases was denounced yesterday by Registrar of Motor Vehicles Goodwin before the Legislative Committee on Highways and Motor Vehicles. Motor vehicle accidents could be reduced 30 percent in the next year by adopting a 100 percent "no fix' policy, Goodwin said.

"You statesmen on Beacon Hill and the police of the State," the registrar declared, "have it within your power to save the lives of hundreds of men, women and children of this State, but you must have the courage to turn down everybody, no matter how important or influential, who approaches you to fix an automobile case. "If the district attorneys stopped nol prossing drunken drivers cases and the courts showed more severity with 'the same class of then the death rate would take, a further Against Inquiry Mr Goodwin was opposing a bill for an investigation of accident situation by a special commission, sponsored by Col J. M. Moorhead, of the-E. R.

A. Highway Traffic Research. "We don't need any more statistics," Goodwin said, "It is wholly a problem of law enforcement. We have got to force safe driving on those who are not so disposed." The registrar said the Governor's Committee on Street and Highway Safety spends $50,000 a year but accomplishes "very little." Col Moorhead told the committee of the survey under his direction. He felt the State should utilize the statistics and declared the survey had been of great value to the Departments of Public Works and Public Safety.

Registrar Goodwin also urged repeal of the law giving the driver on the right the right-of-way at intersections. "It would perhaps be a good idea to give neither autoist entering an intersection the right-of-way," he said. "Both should proceed only at a reasonable speed, and both should be on the lookout." Repeal of the RJght-of-Way law was opposed by -Sidney S. von Loesecke, counsel for the Automobile Legal Association. Mr Goodwin told the Legislative Committee on the Judiciary he favored the repeal of the Compulsory Automobile Insurance law unless a State fund were established and the business taken from the Insurance companies.

Mr Goodwin said the law had become a "racket" for doctors and lawyers. We never can have a flat rate son explained. ''The Portland Club has given Way on the 4 and 5 no trump convention, which threatened to cause a schism, between us last year, and we, on our part, have given way pn several minor points. Opening Bids Changed a Bit During his two lectures today Mr Culbertson will illustrate how his system has been changed to meet the remodelled rules, and will describe some of the most radical changes, although he will not be able to delve into them in detail until their official release. Opening bids have been changed somewhat in his system he said last night, partially due to the change in the no trump count by the rules committee.

One no trump will count 40 and each subsequent trick bid and made will count 30 after March 31. Until then the tricks will continue to count 30-40-30. The bonuses for slams hav also be altered and lowered, and Mr Culbertson will today discuss a new "void" bid, which is an outgrowth of this change. Just what the alteration in bonuses vill be he would not reveal, but it has been rumored that grand slam will be dropped to 1500 and un vulnerable will drop to 1000. "We consider Boston one of the most wide-awake and bridge conscious cities in the world," Mr Culbertson said.

"That is one reason why I wish to start my lectures on the new system here." The bridge expert is a pleasant, whimsically humorous and witty person. Even the snow could not dampen his almost boyish enthusiasm. He expressed his pleasure at being in Boston once more his first visit was two years ago for another lecture and said he was pleased that his wife could at last see the city. He was met at the by Lombard Williams, one of his New England representatives. business.

I predict that rates will go higher each year if the law is not repealed. I hope this committee will recommend passage of the repeal bill now before it," said Mr Goodwin. John W. Downs, legislative agent for the Insurance Federation of Massachusetts, also urged repeal of the existing law. He predicted a substantial increase in the insurance rates for 1936 if the present law is maintained.

Charles C. O'Donnell of Lynn favored an indemnity plan to be administered by a commission. John W. Cronin, representing the Boston Automobile Club, vigorously opposed any indemnity plan. He also attacked the financial responsibility plan for the reason that it does not adequately protect the pedestrian.

YOUNG OPPOSES PLAN TO SET UP STATE CODES Further opposition to a bill establishing State codes was heard yesterday by the Legislative Committee on Labor and Industries from B. Loring Young, Legislative counsel for the Associated Industries of Massachusetts. The bill would empower the Governor to approve codes of fair competition for trades and industries in the Sfate. Young charged that the proposal would open the door to "blackmail and intimidation." He declared the effect of the proposed law would be unsatisfactory to both business and labor and that it gave the Governor absolute power to impose additional "The provisions of this act would be construed to injure and perhaps destroy any lawful business," said 'Furthermore, there is great danger of subjecting our citizens to double jeopardy, both in the Federal courts, and in the State courts for the same offense. "The of the bill is most doubtful.

Similar acts have already held unconstitutional in New York and Ohio." FAVOR STATE PAYING UTILITIES BOARD COST The Legislative Committee on State Administration reported a bill yesterday providing the entire cost of maintaining the State Department of Public Utilities shall be borne by the State. The bill was filed by Representative Edward J. Kelley of Worcester and is based on a recommendation in Gov Curley's inaugural address.
