International. News Service

Legislation Ndesigned to remedy
serious conditions in the Federal
penitentiaries and local institutions
housing Federal prisoners may fall
into the discard as a result of
quarrel between two House COM
mittees over responsibility for ac.
tion,. it was learned today.
The special House Prisons Invesd-
eating Committee, which reported
conditions to be "deplorable"
throughout the country, insists that
it is the business of the judiciary
Committee to prepare bills.
The Judiciary Committee, how,
ever. has declared that the special
committee must initiate legislation.
Asks New Prisons
After months of inquiry the spe-
cial investigating committee pre-
sented recommendations to the
House for the building Of new
Federal prisons, new detention
jails in large cities and for the
extension of the parole system as an
emergency measure to relieve dis
graceful oVercrowding OF the
prisons.
One recommendation promises to
become effective without further
action by the committee. 1t en-
dorsed the Porter bill, already
passed. authorizing the building OF
two farms for narcotic addicts OF
the Federal prisons and President
Coolidge has transmitted oudget
recommendation for funds.
Representative Cooper (RJ CT
Ohio. chairman of the special prisons
committee, declared that legislative
action should be taken without de-
Law. but insisted that 1t was the
business of the Judiciary Committee.
Our committees authority has
expired, and if the Judiciary Com
mittee does not act, some OF us
probably will introduce bills which
will be referred to that committee
and require action" he said.
When the judiciary committee
was asked to take up the report.
REPRESENTATIVE Dorninick Cd OF
South Carolina raised the point of
order that the special committee
had power to initiate legislation,
and was sustained.
Scores Spy System
The situation may be brought
before Congress by Rep. Bell CD OF
Georgia, who has indicated that ne
would make a speech condemning
the alleged Spy" system instituted
in Atlanta Federal Penitentiary by
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
assistant attorney general.
Rep. LaGuardia R) of New York.
also has been investigating this
phase and has indicated that he is
ready to defend Mrs. Willebrandt
from charges that she was animated
by personal motives in placing
agents in the prison to watch War
den Shook.
Although he has indicated that
he will not give either Mrs. Willie
brandt or Warden Shook clean
bill of health, he takes the position
that the attitude of the assistant
attorney-general has been misrepre-
sented.

Washington. Sept. 20 R>-Char- 4cterizing mechanical and cultural control methods as thus far not wholly effective" the department of agriculture has imported an a1dl- tional four large shipments of par asites to fight the Japanese beetle
 Since the pest first entered the United States in soil surrounding the roots of Japanese nursery stock shipped to Riverton. \. J., the gov ernment has tried to control it by trapping and quarantine. Wasps that are parasites of the beetle in it's native land have been liberated, but with little more success than other control measures.
 However, parasitizatiOn is prom ising and the government believes that necessity for attempt at con- trol by the biological method is evil dent.
 It has been observed that para sites of the gypsy moth are par ticularly successful in seasons gen erally adverse to the insect. Before there are enough favorable years for the moth to win back it's de- structiveness the parasites again have diminished it's numbers.
 There is evidence that the same may be true of attempts to p0rasi- tize the Japanese beetle, which has so increased and spread that en- tomologists expect it eventually tC damage farm crops in all parts oI the United States. ...- ...r.

In an orchard of 156 ten-year-o peach trees, 13 1G-gallon tubs of bottles were shaken from the trees and collected in somewhat less than two hours. The next morning the beetles apparently were as numer- ous as before. They make lace-work of foliage, attack fruit garden truck and field crops.
 The latest shipments of parasites came from the Yokohoma labora- tory of the bureau of entomology, United States department of agri- culture, and were collected under the direction of T. R. Gardener, en- tomoIogist in charge.
 Natives gathered the parasitizcd beetles from which the 11,00o wasps and flies sent to the United States were matched,
 The parasites are not expected to eradicate the beetle; only to keep it in check as they do in Japan. There its damage is negligible com pared to the havoc if has crcatcl here in the absence of natura enemies.

Mandell Unworried
By Abound Excess

CHICAGO, July 26.-CP-Sammy
Mandeil, VINO one week from to-
night will battle Tony Canzoneri to
retain his world light champion
ship, apparently is unworried over
the fact that he still has nearly
four pounds to work off to reach
the division limit Of 1875 pounds.
Mandell fooled a number Of fans
who went to his camp at the
Washington park ace track yester-
day by INDUCING in a day Of in
activity. Reports he had been in
jured were denied by the champion
who said both he and his trainer,
Barney Furey, were satisfied with
his condition and he did not plan
to scale more than a few ounces
under the limit.
CanZoneri, who will have no
trouble making the weight, contin-
ues to work hard. Yesterday he
boxed five rounds after doing four
miles on the road. Today he was
to extend his boxing workout to
seven rounds.
