By ALLEN A. GOLDFtN International Illustrated News Writer NEW YORK — Charles Dickens’ bitter invectives against London lunacy courts and the brutalities of officials to allegedly Insane persons were recalled when Supreme Court Justice John F. Carew ordered Mrs. Ida Kasicb, attractive school teacher, freed from Bellevue psychopathic ward. At the same time. Justice Carew administered a verbal lashing to Commissioner of Corrections Austin H- McCormick of New Y’ork, whom the young matron charged conspired with her husband to adjudge her Insane. Mrs. Kasicb was committed to Bellevue last October under the ’’pink slip" law, which allows a person to be committed to an asylum on the signature of a physician versed In psychology, and a relative. The “pink slip" was signed by her own husband. Dr. Milosh Kasich, and Mrs. Kasicb was sent away, or “railroaded", as the court has determined her case. She was discharged after four days. Many Victim* of System Two niontha later her child was still-born possibly as a result of the experience. On May 24, this year, her husband again had her sent to Bellevue, from which Justice Carew, famed judge of the Vanderbilt case, ordered her released into the care of her father. It may come as a revolting shock to thousands of people to think that an experience such as Mrs. Kasich’s could possibly happen. But it did, and each day an unknown number of men and women languish behind the grim walls of an insane asylum, victims of unscrupulous relatives

| sentence.” Wheeler said that White told i him later that Brewster had con--1 tacted him on the issue. Over occasional objections by ■chairman John J. O’Connor of the house rules committee, Wheeler told the story of the battle over the bill in considerable detail. He told how lie first met Brewster whose cjiarges that Thomas G. Corcoran, youthful RFC attorney, tried to force him to vote for the "death sentence” instigated the house investigation. Wheeler said he first met Brewster when the congressman called on another matter. Brewster told him about his fight against the power trust in Maine.

who hav* them "railroaded” because of age, hate, or because of property which is desired. “Place a sensitive person, a normal one. among the insane," says Arthur Frank Payne, noted psychologist and psychiatrist, "and in time that person will become mentally unsound. It is inevitable. The public institutions seem to care nothing at all about the environment of their patients.” Matron Tell* Tale of Horror And from Mrs. Kasich’s own story can be seen the horrible fate encountered when incarcerated among the living dead, “One of the colored girls wandered around at night, looking for ’someone’, looking, looking. It gave me the creeps! One girl acted like a little animal. Each night was a horror of shrieks, cries, and squabbling. Madness had dehumanized the faces of the Inmates. I could not bear to look into their eyes, which were filled with wildly leaping lights and shadows!" The wholesale fraud and criminal abuse of the insanity law uncovered by the case of Mrs. Kasich, and by the numerous other cases that have been revealed during the last few mouths, has caused a militant uprising in the ranks of lawyers and jurists with widespread Investigations peering into a practice as criminal as it is horrible. One prominent lawyer estimates that at least 30 per cent of all persons in private Institutions In New York have been fraudulently committed “to serve ulterior and malicious motives". He, together with many others, enleagucd in the fight against this corrupt practice, will not rest until the “pink slip" law is abolished and the commitment ot persons to asylums put into the responsible hands ot a board.

Wheeler testified. “I think this bill was mentioned. I thought, at the time, he had progressive, liberal viewpoints like mine,” Wheeler said. The fight over the Dieterich amendment to eliminate the mandatory death sentence from the senate bill was then raging on the senate floor, Wheeier said. o— — — MUSSOLINI MAY CONTINUED FROM FADE ONE lization ot twoj more divisions, comprising 30.1 MM) men, and a number of auxiliaries for African service showed Mussolini's determination not to halt in his plan for absorption of Abyssinia or for war. I But it was learned that he would i be only too pleased if some means ; were found to avert hostilities. His minimum demand is for a protectorate over the country, Kmpemr Haile Selassie to remain on his throne. However, the public has been i roused to sttoh hiat tint war is gen- ’ erally expected.. YOUNG BANDIT CONTINUED FROM l.Wtl ONE court that he intended to “go I straight.” Judge DeVoss admonished the boy to follow the advice of Mrs. Faye Smith-Knapp, probation officer for Adams county, after his [release fr_m jail. Fliilure to do so, I the court warned the boy would I mean the revoking of the suspended portion of the sentence and the pressing of the grand larceny charge.

of Chinatown, reported to Captain Daniel Gilbert, chief state’s attorney’s office investigator, that he had leajned Juug is wanted in California for a tong war murder. Gilbert immediately sent word to

San Franciaco for a check on Jung’s record there in the hope of finding a clue to hi* associates. Jung may have fled to San Franctsco, Gilbert believes, where be may be hidden by friends. Moy also said that Jung had no valid tong connections and would be forced to play a lone hand in his flight. o HOUSE REBELLION CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE posal of the tax question when congress reconvenes the President will permit them to go home. All agree that the final decision must rest with Mr. Roosevelt, Congressmen and senators are tfred, irascible, fretful. The threeminute demonstration which greeted Rep. Braswell Deen; D., Ga., when he suggested yesterday that congress quit speedily was a true refection of opinion at both ends of the capitol. o Fat Man’* Club Expands Boston.-fU.R)—The United States Fat Men’s Club found it needed more room this year tor the annual outing.
