FEDERAL PRISON
 IN STATE LIKELY
Connecticut Reported to Be Favored for Institution Site
By GEORGE II. MANNING

By GEORGE Fl. MANNING (Wa shington Correspondent N B. Herald)
 Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.-Con- nectcut is the most likely location tor the new federal prison which President Hoover will ask congress in December to authorize, it is be- leved here. The new prison will cost between s5,O00,000 and s10,- 00O.000.
 The factor most prominently men, toned in Connecticut's favor is the states central location in the group of "northeastern states" which President Hoover has stated will get the institution. It is not held likely that the new penitentiary will be located in the northeastern group of states follows in almost exactly the same language the recommendation made by the special committee of the house judiciary committee which reported on January 31, fol- lowing two years investigation.
 Another indication that Connec- ticut Is one of the most favored sites Is seen in the fact that Rep- resentative Bertrand H. Shell Of New York. who fathered the bill for the special committee investigation, also sponsored bill to authorize construction of the. prison and specifically provided that it should be constructed in New England or New York. Every serious con- sideration of the subject, therefore, has pointed to Connecticut or the vicinity as the logical location.
 It is not unlikely that this bill of Mir. Shells now before the house judiciary committee awaiting a de- partment of justice report, will be the one which is passed to comply with the presidents request. Shell has backed it for six years, but has been unable to get it reported out of the committee.
 Our plans. said the president after several conferences with At torney General Mitchell and San. ford Bates, head of the federal prison system, ''necessitates an ex- penditure of about $5,O00,O0O, and will comprise some additions and re- visions, and probably a new prison somewhere in the northeastern states.
 Atlanta is 120 per cent over ca- paclty In inmates at the present time, and Leavenworth S7 per cent, all of which is the cause of infinite demoralization and the direct cause of outbreaks and trouble"
 Narcotic violations comprise most of the causes for which these men are in jail exceeding prohibition by SS to 14 per cent, he said. His recommendations therefore included construction of two narcotic farms to cost several million dollars ad- ditional. At least s5,0O0,O0O is to be spent on extensions at Leaven- worth and Atlanta, leaving between s5,o00.000 and $10.00O,0O0 of the projected total for the new prison and other expenses.
 The special house committees re- port recommended construction of two new penitentiories of which "one should be in the northeastern part Of the country, located as near as possible to the center of com- mitment from the federal courts" and of a hospital for the criminal insane; completion of the Chillicothe, O.. reformatory: exten- sion of the probation system, etc, all of which are embodied in the Hoover recommendations
