secretary of the South Carolina state
board Of public welfare, today told

North Carolina social service con-
ference.
Prisoners sent to the chaingangs
n his state are placed in chains,

"unmercifully," Mr.. Williams said
and declared that politics is respon
sible for the condition, he charged.

The committee met here to hear re
ports from its subcommittee and to
decide upon recommendations to the

Governor Harvey, when shown this
report last evening, said that he had
been in frequent conference with DR..

would have been taken.
