95 NEW LAWS.
IN TO EFFECT.
Only Emergency Measures
of More Than Scant
General Concern
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July s. (UP).
The country's legacy from the
extraordinary first session Of the
73rd congress which adjourned
recently consisted of % new
laws.
An abridged history of the spe-
cial session shows that house and
senate almost equally divided the
job of initiating the new statutes.
Of the thousands Of bills intro
duced in the house, Al finally
were enacted into law. The SEN
ate obtained house sanction and
presidential approval for AZ bills.
ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS
There were in addition numer-
Gus iOint and concurrent resolu-
tions and each house adopted a
multitude of resolutions which
did not require action by the 9TH
err body. The administrations
emergency program embraced
about score of unprecedented
measures beginning with the
emergency bank act rushed
through to enactment in single
sitting on March 9, the first day
of the special session.
Aside from the emergency
measures which touch the average
! citizen at every turn, the new
laws are of scant concern as a
whole.
Of outstanding Importance
among business undispOsed of by
the special session was the St
Lawrence Waterway treaty which
remained on the senate calendar
under constant threat of filibust-
er if Senate Majority Leader
Robinson sought to force action
Similarly shelved, but in this
instance by the administration
were two bills by Senator John
son, Republican, California, de.
signed to regulate floation OF
foreign securities in the United
States.
ARMS EMBARGO HOLDUP
/ President Roosevelt's arms en-
barge resolution was approved by
the house but died on the senate
calendar as did the administra'
ton measure to authorize APP
point of other than a citizen OF
Hawaii as governor of that ter
ritory. A two-hour filibustel
blocked the Hawaiian bill and the
same weapon was ready for the
arms embargo resolution if i
were pressed.
Three efforts were made II
the senate to obtain inquiry into
tax returns Of Andrew W. Mcllor
and the corporations which he
controls. All three were tabled
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's own pro
gram, all but one proposal was
submitted to congress. A resolu
ton to authorize tariff reductions
WAS withheld when Democratic
leaders informed the president il
would lead to long debate.

sists in the escape Of any other
prisoner or prisoners, he will lose
all his accumulated good time and
be compelled to serve out the
maximum term of his sentence.
Director Brown believes that this
change in the law will tend TO
materially reduce the number OF
escapes from now on. This new
law also makes it a misdemeanor
for any prisoner to escape, try to
escape or assist others TO escape,
and direct that they shall be tried
and sentenced in the discretion

system and the state prison sys-
tenn have been combined into one,
the law applies alike to all pris-
oners it is pointed out.
Under present regulations, A
grade prisoners 1O4 days a year
off their sentences for good be-
havior, B grade prisoners get 76
days off year and C grade pris-
oners So days off. They also get
additional time off if they work
OF Sundays. Thus an A grade
prisoner can complete a sentence
of two years in about II months.
Prison and welfare officials agree
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-07-08

that the practice of allowing time
off for good behavior does more
to bring about good discipline
than anything else and that pris-
oners arc more anxious to get
this time off their sentences than
anything else.
Heretofore, however, this time
off has been cumulative in the
state prison, so that even if a
prisoner escaped, was recaptured
and brought back, his previous
time off was still credited to him.
But now every time a prisoner
escapes, tries TO escape or as

IN the vestibule Barrett waited
with Dick Radnor. Dick was
nervous, having left Marcia in
tears. She wept so easily these
days, wept when nothing at all had
happened tc make her unhappy.
Barrett looked as il he would
gladly have given $1,000 for a deep
puff Of cigaret. He had never
been, he "ealized, moro shaken or
uncertain Of himself. But when he
saw Eiiuor he forgot himself. She
had lost colo and her smile was
forced yet she was lovely, as al
ways. Truly and beautifully
lovely.
He moved toward her quickly to
draw her away from the group to a
small, dimiy lit arm Of the vesti-
bule running across the front of
the church.
"I: will be all over in no time
now" he promised as lightly as he
could. Palmer said it was only a

They were married in one OF the
small chapels where Dick. after g
word from the verger, led the small
group nervously. The blended
lights from a stained-glass window
shone down on Elinor.

breath, did you ever see anyone

mopped her eyes with an already
moist handkerchief.
