Cambridge, Mass, April 11.-(AP)-
More personal religion among students
and faculty rather than new chapel
is Harvard Colleges present need,
Bishop William Lawrence told group
of students in an address here today.
"A new chapel might be very accept
able" he declared, but after ell it
would merely be an ediiceN of brick
and mortar which would not go very
far toward injecting personal religion,
the present need of every college, into
faculty and students"

three are coming up for reelection
IN Noyember-that Is, should all so
we'll in the primaries for Mrs. Kahn
and Mrs. Rogers. Mrs. Norton has
already won out in the New Jersey
primaries, and expects little, or no
competition, in the final bout tor
Congress.
MIS-. Kahn is in California. having
gone there with the funeral cortegs
OF the late Representative Lawrence
J. Flaherty, OF San Francisco, ABOUT
two weeks ago. And unless Con.
Kress should persist indefinitely In
not closing, she will remain IN the

AItl1ouRh the late Representative
Julius Kahn, whom Mrs. Kahn
sncceeded, served many years In
Congress-, strenuous campaigning
viii be q new experience for her.
Her husband never really had any
opposition, and, while she went
athrough the motions" OF . cam
paign last autumn she didn't have

sion generally prevailing is that
she was given ner place in Con-

According to reports Mrs. Kahn
will have terrific opposition in the
primaries, which take place August
81. II she wins in these, she will
be able to sit pretty, unless the
Democratic candidate springs
surprise in strength.
Mrs. Rogers whose position in
Congress was also e. kind OF hand
down from her husband, the late
Representative John j. Rogers, will
feed for the first time the real strain
and stress incident to political
campaigning. As soon as Congress
adjourns she WIN go to her home
in Lowell, Mass, from which she
will direct her activities until the
primaries in September.
Mrs. Norton will return TO Wash
ington this afternoon, after an
absence of few days ii delivering
addresses to graduating classes. She
especially wished to be here for the
vote on some legislation for war
veterans. After Congress closes she
will 20 to Allenhurst. N. j.. where
she has taken q place for the
summer.
Mrs. Norton is the Democratic
member of the feminine trio in
Congress and she was elected en-

CHICAGO, Dec. 13. - (F9 - John L..
Whitman, former warden of Joliet
prison, whose advocacy of humane
treatment of convicts gained him a
national wide reputation as penolo-
gist, died in hospital here today after
a several weeks illness with heart
disease.
Whitman suffered a breakdown
shortly after he was forced to retire
as warden at Joliet last summer on
the recommendation of a grand jury
which investigated the staying of a
deputy warden and the escape of seven
prisoners, six of whom have since been
captured, tried and sentenced to be
hanged. During the investigation,
Whitman's humanitarian methods, and
particularly the prison "honor farm"
which he introduced, were under fire.
Physicians said that the criticism
affected his health. Whitman, who
was GA, began his career as Grim
inologist and penologist as a guard in
the Cook county jail here more than
80 years ago, later serving as superin-
tendent of the house of correction for
