RADICAL PENAL
CHANGES URGED
BY AL Smith

ALBANY, N, Y. DEC z R-Gover-
nor Alfred E. Smith proposed radical
changes in the laws governing the
sentence, parole and probation of per-
sons convicted OF felony at confer
ence with the New York crime COM
mission today.
Chief among the governors recon-
mendations, adoption of which, he
said, would be the sensible modern,
up to date way of treating criminals"
was proposal that the power to sem
tence convicted felons be taken away
from the judges of the courts and
vested in a new board composed Of
psychiatrists and others qualified as
criminologists and penologists, whose
annual salaries should be at least
$4,000 each
Abolition of the parole board, which
consists of two members who are each
paid $4,000 year. was urged by the
governor, who suggested in its place a
board made up Of the state commits
sioner of correction, the warden of the
prison in which the candidate for
parole was confined and salaried Of
ficial who should give all his time to
the administration work of the pro-
posed new parole board.
The supervision of probation, he told
the commission, was in his'opinion, not
q state functionS but was local and
belonged properly to the judiciary.
AS to the pardoning power, Cover
nor Smith urged that no change be
made in tho existing statutes which
vest that power with the chief execu-
tive. He opposed the creation of "a
board of pardons, which he said would
be equivalent to setting up another
court of appeals.
Automatic restoration of citizenship
after discharged convict has. con-
cluded a stipulated period Of good
conduct also was recommended by the
governor.

AIR GRIEVANCES
OF BASEBALL IN
LEAGUE MEETING

DALLAS, Texas, Dec. z (T-Minor
league grievances over the present
major-minor draft code, and the
controversy over the life of the
major-minor agreement, long stand
ing and important questions in or
ganized baseball, were briefly aired
on the floor of the annual convention
of the National Association of Pro-
feSsional Baseball Leagues here today
No action was taken on the draft
question, although it provoked q
lengthy discussion, but the matter of
the life of the major-minor agree
ment was referred to committee for
construction of apparently con-
flicting clauses.
The maiOr-nlincr agreement was
drawn up seven years ago to furnish
the upper and the lower stratas OF
baseball a code. to govern relations
between the major leagues and the
smaller circuits One clause of the
agreement seems to indicate that the
urlders' q 1ding is to last seven years,
in which case the document would
become imperative next season. III
another section of the agreement the
language apparently indicates that
the agreement is to be binding during
The life OF KennesaW Mountain
Lands, commissioner of baseball.
Still another section of the instru-
ment seems to make its life Is years
Some minor leagues chatting under
the present draft law, or other phases
of the agreement hope that the
understanding Will terminate this year
so that a new agreement can be
drawn. The matter finally went to
the committee on constitutional
changes, which committee was In
Structed to prepare a resolution con-
STRUNG the meaning of Che conflict
vention. After the convention has
agreed on its own construction of
the mooted point the action of the
convention will be forwarded to the
majors and may come up ~ the
major-minor league convention in
New York next week.
That the minors would not agree
to the terms Of the present draft
should a new major-minor agreement
be drawn, was freely asserted.
The draft fight came up on a
resolution introduced by Walter
Morris owner Of the Dallas and the
Akron clubs, designed to open the
way for a mobilization Of the draft
agreement. Under this agreement the
Texas league. in common with many
other minor leagues, can be forced
to sell promising players, under GER
tain conditions to major league clubs
or to clubs of Z higher classification,
for a standard price.
A number of leagues, including the
American Association, the Coast lea
que, have never accepted the draft.
Shortage of players however, has
forced these leagues to accept players
from the majors under option and
these players. s received from the
majors are subject to- tlraft,s Morris |
sought to initiate some move that
would make operation of the draft
uniform on all minor leagues.
John Conway Toole objected to
this, asserting that the three A. A,
leagues, which did not accept the
draft, could not be forced to make
any other agreement.
The resolution did not come to vote,
being tabled to allow preparation of
an amended resolution.
Tolle said he would favor an asso-
citation stand against the modified
draft. s'We were forced into that"
