Ultimate purpose of the long-lived legislative committee appointed to investigate New York City's affairs (TIME, April 6, 1931 et seq.) was to suggest reforms in the city government. After 14 months of raking out municipal scandals, last week the committee buckled down to constructive work. Alfred Emanuel Smith, who vitally reorganized the State government when he was Governor, was one of the first witnesses invited to make suggestions.

Eyes, fingers, blood emit rays which kill cells. As living things die, they produce "necrobiotic" rays. All this several investigators have demonstrated, and from their demonstrations drawn a theory that all living matter radiates energy (TIME, July 4, et ante). But how does this go on? Cleveland's ingenious Surgeon George Washington Crile, who long has been studying the electronics of living things, last week offered his theory to the Central Association of Science & Mathematics Teachers meeting in Cleveland...
