Ritter of the Uniforces, W. versity of Utah law school told students and faculty members of the Utah State Agricultural college at the annual Washington assembly Friday morning. These two extremes are the force which leads to autocracy and unbridled individualism. The liberal would have us steer the way of unbridled official power, but in a democracy like ours everyone of us is a vital necessary operating unit in society. "John Dewey in his philosophy points the way to steer between these two forces by intelligence in the directive force, which must be ever growing." "Three essential elements which suggest a course to steer are: That truth is the only ground on which our wishes can be carried out, truth should be arrived at by the use of intelligence, and that life and the constitution and most of our institutions are frankly experimental in their character, and should be regarded as such, Mr. Ritter said. Dr N. A. Pedersen, chairman of the assembly committee, was in charge of the meeting.

INCENDIARY FIRE DAMAGES PRISON SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 22 ir.pi Investigation was underway today into a fire at the Utah State prison which officials suspect was part of a plot by a group of prisoners to escape. The fire broke out late yesterday in the prison chapel. It was into Warden cendiary, according R. E. Davis. I. J. Stewart, guard captain, noticed the smoke just before 126 prisoners in the first cell block were to be lined up prior to entering the dining room for dinner. He shouted an alarm the blaze was extinguished before the men left their cells. The altar was badly charred. A pile of partially burned kindling, which had been ignited from wad.- of newspaper, was found. Warden Davis doubted that a wholesale delivery of prisoners had been the motive.

Harold Hoffman will ask Dr. John F. Condon to return from Panama immediately to answer questions about the Lindbergh kidnaping case and another important witness against Bruno Richard Hauptmann may be examined today. Hoffman reached his decision at a conference with the Hunterdon M. Anthony county prosecutor, Hauck, and Hauptmann's chief atC. Lloyd Fisher. torney, Hauck refused to be a party, action that might reto publicly, flect on state witnesses, but he promised to make no objection to steps the governor might take. Persons close to Hoffman said he probably would write to Jafsie that his return was necessary for a realization of justice. Whited to Appear Immediate interest centered on what the governor planned for Millard Whited, former resident of the Sourland mountains who testified at Hauptmanns trial that he saw the Bronx carpenter twice in the vicinity of Col. Charles A. Lindberghs Hopewell estate. Whited's testimony underwent a terrific battering from defense atdetorneys during the trial. The sucfense attack on him was so cessful that Jjustice Thomas W. Trenchard, summing up evidence-. for the jury, did not even men- . tion Whited.

Wilentz In Florida Hauck said he was maintaining constant communication with Attorney General David T. Wilentz, who directed Hauptmanns prosecution. Wilentz is vacationing in Florida. Nothing has happened yet that would lead me to call Wilentz back, he said. Hoffman called the conference at his home last night with the apparent intention of betting the termination of his whole position in the testimony of state witnesses, ability to find important flaws in the tsetimony of state witnesses. He asked Hauck to join him, and Fisher in a request to Condon to return tb Trenton. Condon has indicated repeatedly since he went to Panama five weeks ago that he intends to stay there indefinitely, probably until after the week of March 30 when Hauptmann is scheduled to be executed. He also asked Hauck to underof Whited's take a It was understood testimony. to Hauck tentatively consented the plan, but insisted Hoffman conduct the actual mterogation.
