Los Angeles, Jan. ss.-'l'm going to devote the rest Of my career to re- claiming human waslage in AmeFi- can prisons"
 That's the ambition Of Louis Victor Eytinge. hero of the most remark able success story in generation. who from q mere penitentiary numers al made himself respectfully known to a million American business lead- CTS while he remained behind prison bars,
 Fifty per cent Of prisoners are not reelaimable under the presew sys- tenn" Eytinge said on his arrival here after his release from prison.

 Crime costs the national Liberty Loan il year. Fifty per cent Of prjs- oners arc recidivists 1.-two or three timers), responsible for 20 per cent of crime. Suppose we could reduce recidivism by 25 per cent. we could thus lop great chunk on the Tour billion cost annually.
 Fifteen years ago Eytinge was showed into the Arizona state peni- tentiary under life sentence on con- viction Of murder. He was expected to die from tuberculosis within two months.
 Today. just liberated on parole. he can take his pick Of several s25,000 year positions.
 The clang of lookup bolts had a miraculous effect upon Eytinge. He cured himself of disease by lying naked 10 hours a day in the sunshine of the "lungers' ward and stuf1ing himself with prison food.
 Then Eytinge discovered he pos sessed a positive genius for organiza ton and salesmanship. He set fellow prisoners at work manufacturing things which he sold outside through advertising letters.
 So effective were these letters the prison was soon swamped with mail and Eytinge was conducting a s5,000 a month business.
 Within a few years he was prac- tically running the prison.

COUNTER INDEMNITY CLAIM
 MAY BE FILED BY GERMANY
Germans Also Discussing Measure to Make French Pay-U. s. Pro-
 tactOrate Desirable.

Berlin, Jan. 22.-(By Associated Press. 1.-The picture of Germany countering future claims of France and Belgium with an indemnity bill of her own for the Ruhr occupation is already being sketched in political circles here. In these quarters it is confidently believed that the Reich will not hesitate to model her own statement after the pattern afforded by her obligations to the allies.
 A long list of claims against France and Belgium by German na- tionals is expected and to these will probably be added to the nations es- timate if the damage to it's sov- ereignty by the armed occupation.
 As precedents for such course of action, Reichstag leaders have already turned to the passau and Ingodstadt incidents, when the Reich was fined 1,00O,000 marks because German civil ians insulted members of the entente control commission. A suggestion for an American protectorate over the Ruhr is meeting with considerable fa- vor in Bourse circles where it origi- mated. Such step, it is believed, would prevent the French from per manently controlling the Rhenish ins ydustrial area and would therefore be in the interests of American and Brit ish trade.
 An official coal famine in unoccu- pied Germany is not generally feared here if the Ruhr coal mines GGn maintain the output of the last ten days. Only one-half of the Reich's supply comes from that quarter. aD' with British importations and stimu- lated production in other domestic fields a shortage does not seem inn minent.
