Attacking obsolete methods used
in handling prisoners, Mr.. Metzger
said:
In penology, for thousands of
years, we have attempted to give
mass treatment with a complete
disregard for the individual delin-
quent concerned.
1T is not surprising that our
criminal problem never has been
solved. With a more enlightened
approach, we would not allow the
individual to appear before the
courts dozens of times for ofenSeS
which were increasingly grave,
until finally he is given either a
life sentence or executed, after
having caused untold havoc and
social expense during the other
years of his life.
With enlightened criminal pro-
cedure, the definitely anti-social
individual would be institution
allied permanently for his own
protection and that of society.
Probation. which uses properly
trained stats and suitable ma
terial, has demonstrated its worth
many times over during the last
fifty years, when it has been used
extensively.
IF elected, I shall adhere to the
Indiana 1888 law which says that
M 10~0ho tjOyo OHioore cLo11 ho on
pointed for any court unless such
persons have passed competitive
examinations to be held by the
Indiana state probation depart
ment. 1 shall go carefully into the
professional qualifications for
each applicant for juvenile court
position"
Mr.. Metzger holds the Master of
Arts degree from Indiana uni
versity, and has completed two adj
ditional years of study in the So
cial science department at Indiana.
He holds law degrees from the
Benjamin Harrison and Indiana

FUND To BUILD
SUBWAY URGED
Mrs. Marie Flynn Maddox
Also AssaiIs Lack of
Vote in District.

Appropriation Of funds for con-
struction Of a subway system and
municipal buildings suitable for the
Nations Capital were urged last night
by Mrs. Marie Flynn Maddox, men,
ber of the District bar and repre-
sentative Of the Federation of Cit
liens Associations. Mrs. Maddox
broadcast her plea over a local radio
station.
In the course Of her address, Mrs.
Maddox asSailed the Congresses which
deprived citizens of the District of
their freedom and franchise" charg-
ing that they had broken faith with
the founders of the Nation. Eventual
ly, she said, she hoped the injustice
would be corrected.
Mrs. Maddox expressed the hope
that the Federation will indorse and
all citizens support resolution
adopted by the Columbia Heights Cit
liens Association calling upon Con-
gress ito provide the funds to build
District and court buildings sorely
needed to replace the antiquated Dis
trict Building and the ramshackle,
tumbledown, makeshift structures now
housing the District courts and re-
corder Of deeds. We call upon Con-
gress to do, what we consider is its
duty to do-to appropriate money for
municipal buildings suitable for the
Federal City and in keeping with the
other monumental Government build
ings now nearing completion. The
taxpayers Of the District have pur-
chased land for a municipal center,
and, in their civic pride, would pay
for the buildings also as their contri-
button to the glory of the National
Capital, but out of their pitifully small
revenues they are unable to do so.
Better means of mass transporta-
ton to Government buildings than
the present inadequate, privately
owned systems are also urgently re-
quired by the District. The Columbia
Heights Association has advocated a
subway system and we believe the
Federal Government should bear the
cost of building and maintaining one,
for most of its patrons would be
Federal employees. The expense of
enterprises such as these for the Cap
ital should be shared by all taxpay-
ers Of the United States, for they are
for the benefit of ALL"
