New Haven, Conn, Feb 23-(U P)-Attorney General Homer S. Cummings believes it is time to inaugurate Q new deal for jail prisoners ana "get away from an attitude which seeks to avoid diff ficuity by putting the jail prison CT out of sight and thus out of mind." Tn a letter to Prof. Jerome Davis, Yale. chairman of the leg islature commission on jails, the attorney general indorsed a pro- posal to establish a jail farm at Glastonbury. ''as a practical life- saving project and at the same time an economy measure"
 Tt is hard for those who have not thought carefully upon this subject" he wrote, "to realize that indifference toward this prob- lem may contribute seriously to- ward the difficulty of the very problem which the jails are thought to solve. Let me wish for you and your commission continued success and ultimate achievement in the important work in which you are engaged" The commissions pro- posal is scheduled for public hear ing before the general assembly judiciary committee Thursday. It has the indorsement of the gover- nor and the judicial council, com posed by judges of the higher coi1rtg

 One of Seven Clubs
 Outgrowth of a national frater- nifty, the club is one of seven "fnap clubs at Harvard. Young Franklin, sophomore, is one of nine youths who will be received at Saturdays ceremonies.

Other distinguished fly clubbers past and present include Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, Edward Everett Hale, William J. Vanderbilt, owen Mister. Charles Francis Adams, and Dr A.

 William J. Moriarty, Democrat reporter, was one of the witnesses called by Campbell, as was another newspaperman, Niver w. Beaman of the American. Mofiarty said he did not see the actual arrest, but testified that the police were apparently misunderstanding the number of persons for whom Campbell had been given permis- sion to enter the building. Beaman testified that he only saw and heard Campbell being booked at headquarters on a breach of the peace charge. Another defense witness was Mrs Ethel Shackhurst.
 It was while Beaman was testi- flying that Judge McGrath inter- rupted to ask for Campbell's own story and then gave the discharge.
 Charles w. Campbell who has been acting as communist organizer here since early last year, was arrested late last Saturday morn-~ ing at the entrance to the City Hall by Patrolman Fred Hickey. Camp bell had headed a delegation of unemployed men to the municipal building earlier in the morning.
 Some weeks ago, Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean gave orders that Campbell should not enter the City Hall. Campbell pro- tested that such an order was ob- viously unfair. but the superintend- ent refused to revoke the ruling and told policemen on duty at the City Hall to arrest Campbell if the latter attempted to enter.
 Campbell had been previously arrested on charge of violating a city ordinance by distributing handbills at the entrance to the welfare department office at the City Hall. He was freed by Judge Edward Mascolo in city court, but advised to give out information to his followers other than by dis tributing 1t publicly.
