SECRETARY OF
 THE TREASURY
 WOODIN BETTER
Problems involving Bil- lions of Dollars Await Return-SOOn the Fi=
 nancial Plans Will Start
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY United Press Financial Cores
 pOndent)

Washington, July 26.-(UP)- Grave problems involving billions in federal financing await the re- turn of Secretary of Treasury Woodin from his enforced absence caused by overwork during the spring banking crisis.
 Woodin has been away about a month, recuperating from Q throat ailment. Treasury officials ex- pect him to return shortly. They deny vigorously the recurrent ru- mors that he intends to resign, al- though some observers continue to feel that he may step out of the cabinet within the next few months.
 The treasury since March has been concentrating it's energies on the reopening of banks. Many other important matters have been forced into the background but will soon require action.
 Among the major problems con- fronting the treasury are:
 l. Financing of the govern ment's $3,3OO,000.0O0 public works program through sale of addition al government bonds.
 2. Refinancing of the govern ment's unwieldly short-term float ing debt and refunding of billions of dollars of 1ong-term debt at lower interest rates if possible.
 8. Determination of the admin istration's money policy to carry out President Roosevelts' theory of an "honest dollar" with stable purchasing power.
 4. Administration of the de- posit insurance provisions of the banking act in 1883 which be- come effective January 1, and possible drafting of substitute measure to remove some of the revolutionary provisions of the act.
 5. Collection of millions of dol lars in processing taxes to pay bounties for farmers to reduce acreage under the farm bill and assistance to the farm credit ad- ministration and Home Owners Loan corporation in their attempt to refinance $4,000, 100000 of home and farm mortgages.
 During the absence of Woodin, his aides have been studying these problems and are expected to have some of them ready for decision by the secretary shortly after he returns.
 Special research work is being carried on by Federal Reserve of- ficials and the treasury depart ment's economic advisor, Prof Oliver M. w. Sprague, in regard to the most urgent problem--rais- ing new funds.

Bosco Now Wanted By Police of Four Cities After
 Recent Escapades

ments were being made today by New Britain police to bring the youth back from Pennsylvania where he was arrested last night to face charges of theft of car.
 It will be recalled that he was given @ chance by both New Britain and Waterbury police after he confessed to the theft of four cars in Waterbury and New Brit ain. Thursday he was sent to the Litchfield Junior Republic.
 He escaped the same day, stole car in Torrington, abandoned it in New Britain, where he picked up another machine; stopped at Waterbury and is believed to have robbed a grocery store on Walnut street and was arrested in Ashville, Penn., after he had wrecked the car he was driving.
 After being arraigned in New Britain he will be brought to Wa terbury. It Is probable that Tor rington and Winsted authorities will also put in 0 bid for his ar- raignment in those two cities.

 Washington, July 26.-UP)- Dr Harcourt A. Morgan of the Tennessee Valley authority who has waged scientific war on cat tie ticks and boil weevils, hopes to turn some of the great forests of the Tennessee basin into a na- tural arboretum where birdlife will be untrammeled and abundant. According to friends, he dreams of a paradise for birds, through scientific planting of thousands of varieties of flowers and with woodlands which will add to the beauty of the green Utopia. Morgan, president of the Univer- sity of Tennessee, has long been Il l bird lover.: His estate outside of Knoxville, Tenn, abounds with song birds, lured there by bird baths, houses and choice tidbits from the kitchen.
 In launching its cotton sign-up campaign the department of agri- culture deliberately avoided use of wartime Liberty Loan drive methods, such as are being em- ployed in the blanket code cam paign. Agriculture officials even changed 6 proposed poster which carried red, white and blue colors.
 They struck out the blue colors purposely. They felt that frank appeal to long-range self interest would be more effective than lan emotional patriotic appeal which might provoke resentment.
 Labels are tricky. For instance, 1t is often said of Senator Borah that no legislation bears his name. But he introduced the bill creating the department of labor. On the other hand the Sherman antitrust act, old timers say, was drafted largely by the late Senator Hoar of chusetts-Senator John sherman of Ohio merely intro- duced it by request, and was but slightly familiar with its meaning.
 The Volsead act, introduced by the then Representative Andrew Volstead of Minnesota, was drafted by anti-saloon league lawyers. It took Volstead's name because he was chairman of the house judici- ary committe to which 1t was re- ferred.

The advantages Of such practice are sef-evdent
Among the greatest defects of American penoogy the
nging of young and old offenders and feeble

Assuming that many criminals be reformed certainly
the worst way attempt to mix them with those who
cannot and then expect them to return the paths of re
tude when their terms up.
An interesting provision Of the Illinois law is
which permits feeble minded persons with continuing
criminal tendencies to be put under restraint though
they have not been convicted.
Such provision might easily become capable Of abuse but
1t experiment which should be well worth watching
It is habit to let potential criminals at large
UNTIL they commit crime, very much the principle OF
the farmer who locked his barn door after his horse
stolen
This practice founded exaggerated idea of personal
liberty unfortunately does not restore the victim of
