of the state in dealing with the in
mates of its prisons was the general
topic of discussion at today's session

pared formal addresses on the aboli-
ton of capital punishment and former

the conference today by Attorney Gen
eral Thomas w. Gregory.

of being in close touch with the states
and such an encourag ing expression
as was sent to the president was much
appreciated, especially as it came from
a body in which party lines had been
eliminated.
