Conviction was growing among members of the Mayor's Advisory Committee on Smoke Abatement today that a silver lining already has appeared in the City’s perennial smoke problem.

The silver lining was first discovered by City Councilman Albert O. Deluse. He told reporters: “Maybe you won't want to print this, but we think some progress has been made.

CHARGES NOLAN VIOLATED RULES
Justice Department Criticizes Him for Revealing ‘Brown Case Exchanges.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY , Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, March 21.—Jus-
serted today that District Attorney
Val Nolan violated Department rules by revealing correspondence between himself and Assistant Attorney General O. John Rogge in the Arthur V. Brown WPA fraud case.
This matter, as well as the case against Mr. Brown and others prob= ably. will be discussed when Mr,
fer with Mr, -Rogge, head of the Department's” criminal’ division, it ‘understood. ‘Mr. Nolan had the Brown case hearing on oral arguments shifted from March 28 to April 22 in Federal Court at Indianapolis Tuesday because he had been ordered by Mr. Rogge to come here “the latter part | of the week of March 25” for a conference regarding the case.
Nolan Explains Delay
In explaining’ his reasons for the delay, Mr. Nolan revealed in open court, the correspondence and radiograms between himself and Mr. Rogge, . and said a “pre-Grand Jury” conference on the case had been sought last January by Frank C. Dailey, attorney for Mr. Brown, but that he had declined to attend.
posed conference last January had) been made with Mr. Rogge by another defense attorney, Brien MecMahon, who was Mr. Rogge’s predecessor here. Mr. McMahon ha entered the case as a Brown attorney through a Chicago banker named “Cummings,” Mr. Dailey was quoted as saying. That banker was Adentified nerd today as Walter'J. Cummings, who was treasurer of the Democratic National Committee from /1934 to
the Corp. - McMahon Office in Capital
It was learned, today that Mri McMahon, who now has law offices here, came to the Justice Department with a pocketful of Indianapolis newspaper clippings and wanted to know “What is Val Nolan trying to do?” With Mr. Rogge in Louisiana, he didn't get the answer. But Hugh Fisher, Mr. Rogge’s as sistant, emphatically denied th Mr. McMahon or any of the defens attorneys were responsible for Mr. Nolan being ordered . here next week. He said the conference arranged to strengthen the pr cution and not the defense. ro

(Copyright. 1940 by Science Service) NEW YORK, March 21.—The miracle of making the deaf hear has been accomplished, apparently permanently, -in 126 out of 150 cases. . This means of achieving this, a new kind of surgical operation which remodels part of the ear, was revealed by Dr. Julius Lempert of this city at a meeting at the Academy of Medicine. The restoration of hearing to
{patients deafened by otosclerosis
has been announced before, but the
‘hopes aroused by these previous
reports unfortunately h ave dwindled. "The feature of such ‘operations is the creation surgically of a new window into the ear to let in sound waves. In otosclerosis, the ear’s
normal window has become over-

‘Miracle Window’ in Ear Gives Hearing to 126 of 150
feres with ‘transmission of sound waves. Because of the natural tendency of bone to repair itself after jury, the new window made by previous operations has always closed after a few weeks. Dr. Lempert’s operation is devised to discourage this tendent cy of bone to repair itself. The new window is made’and the necessa ear-remodeling is done in One operation instead of two or more. :The ‘operation , is: performed through the ear canal instead of through an opening ‘cut behind thi ear. This reduces’ injury to the tissues: to 2 minimum. and th holds to a minimum also the flammatory reaction of the tissues It is this reaction to injury thai is likely to result in obliteration of the new window by ‘new. bony

ASKS JUVENILE CIRCUIT COURT
Bradshaw Suggests Plan to . Deal With Chronic i Truancy Cases.
By SAM TYNDALL A (circuit Juvenile Court, which would devote itself exclusively to chrohic truancy cases and would move from school to school to hold sessions as cases arise, is under consideration by Juvenile Court Judge Wilfred Bradshaw. | Judge Bradshaw said today he will discuss the matter thoroughly with school officials and other interested parties before he takes steps to set the project in motion. Chronic truancy, Judge Bradshaw said, is a serious court problem, and is sometimes allied closely with juvenile delinquency, dependent children and many other j ment factors which requi ‘and first-hand study if c rections are fo be made. : Under the plan, a refei be appointed to hold hearings’ in
{serious cases at the sc
teachers and parents in attendance, he might be able:to get deeper dnd more satisfactorily into the individual cases than the Court{ could at the sessions as they now |are held, the judge said. Present at truancy hea ings now are the truant, the case workers and the parents, but not the teachers. Moreover, he said, it costs the pupil a day or two of school attendance to attend the hearings in the Court ‘House and it very often is extremely difficult for the parents to attend. Hearings’ at the ‘schools, he said, would be more accessible. to parents, would cause little loss of school time by the pupils, and would have the benefit of the testimony and suggestions of the teachers. Judge Bradshaw said he hoped, if the project was put into action, that the referee would learn much about the problems that contribute to truancy. and thus be better able to suggest a remedy. The worst cases, he said, would be appealed to the Court for solution.
