an attorney. Kohn said he had
tried to communicate with Doro-
thy Lamar, a daughter of '"The

from either of them.
Kohn said he had arranged to

his lifetime he had firmly refused
to disclose his true identity or dis

second wife, who married him in
1925 and separated from him sew

A VILE CONDITION

The raid on a New York prison this
week exposed conditions existing there
which are a serious reflection on nation
which considers itself civilized.
Racketeers and gangsters had sup
planted the duly appointed officers in
controlling the prison and were living in
luxury. A whole army of pigeons, used
to bring narcotics into the prison, per-
mitted drug addicts to satisfy their crav-
ings without difficulty. Degeneracy
flourished among the inmates amid par
ticuarly revolving conditions.
Those who ruled the prison had all the
comforts of home, one even going so far
as to keep a vicious dog by his bed, whose
duty it was to scare off inquisitive guards
or prison officials.
1t is deplorable state of affairs when
honest men, unable to get work, are starv
ing with their families, while those who
have violated the law live in idleness and
luxury 1t was conditions like these
which brought on the French revolution.
There is little likelihood of a similar re-
volt in New York, but that there is need
for a far-reaching house-cleaning, is only
too apparent.
Officials, headed by the district attor-
ney, promise that the cleanup will be ef-
fective and permanent. Already some
OF the guilty prison officers are in cells,
instead of being outside them, awaiting
trial. They should be punished to the full
extent Of the law. AS for the racketeers,
about the most severe punishment that
could be given them would be a long
term at real hard work.

urging that the young man be en-
ployed.
The utility company for which
the young man worked, heard of
What was going on, decided he was
a valuable employee and gave him
a raise. So he decided to keep his
job.
But the NRA has a healthy re-
spect for ministers. 1t sent its per-
sonnel manager to hunt for the
young man, to offer him a position.
The NRA was little incensed when
the young man said he didn't need
a job after all. But he did get mar
ried, which gave a preacher a Job,
and the NRA can chalk that up to
its credit.
The NRA produced 32-page
book of ground rules for the guild
ance of state directors "for the ad-
justment of complaints, which
means the settling of fights. High
light of the book is chart show
ing the family tree of the NRA. 1t
is almost as complicated as geneal-
ogy of the Smith family.
The rules concern who can make
complaints and why; who can set
tie them and how. Labor troubles,

with salary big enough to permit his
marriage. So he wrote his father,
who heads state religious denom-

with all the preachers in the diocese,
who sent letters to their congress-
