the GOOD team had violated dis
tricting rule by using a substi-
tute player who lived In another

The Oilbelt district committee
pulled a series OF 'off-again. on

the past season. SO that teams in
that district never knew when they
were in or ont Of the championship

or were not eligible; and even Earl
Morrison would find IL difficult to
inculcate respect for the decisions

John w. Shook. resigned warden of

declared the spy system" as In
augurated in penal institutions by
Mabel Walker Villebrandt, Assis-
tant United States Attorney Gener-
al, ian insult to Americanism. :"
Shook termed Mrs. Willebrandt,
a woman drunk with power"
He said it was impossible for even
a. man to control in an efficient
manner the three departments

now under control of Mrs. Wille-
brandt.
Sacrifice for Principle
In commenting on the willie
brandt System" where the Depart
ment of Justice has placed within
prison walls as bona fidc convicts
members of its secret service staff.
Shook said he sacrificed his position
for a principle which he considered
well worthwhile.
I'm the affairs of man, wrong
must be righted regardless of
chfvalry for the fair sex. Such
a time arrived when Mrs. Willie
brandt, in charge of Federal prisons,
inaugrated policy of Justification
of Government documents by plac-
ing spies in penal institutions as
bona fide convicts. This has pros
tituted the courts and is an insult
to Americanism.
DemOralizing, He Says
Nothing more demoralizing to
prison morale has ever been con-
ceived. Mrs. Willebrandt's system
| Is not completed by placing the
spies inside the prison. Convicts
are even taken out of the Federal
penitentiary to spy on free citizens
under promise of clemency il they
deliver the required evidence.
when clemency' is extended,
their records show valuable service
rendered to the Government
Shook will leave tomorrow for
Oakland, Calf, to visit a sister.
He will then return to the East,
but has no plans for the future,
he said.
