HARDY CRIMINAL GETS ANSWER IN
ALCATRAZ ..... e. 81.
fBy BRUCE CATTON)

1t seems that the patrons of Uncle Sans
expensive new rest cure on Alcatraz Island
in San Francisco Bay are far from satlsled
with the service these days.
Some enterprising Journalist recently
contacted a gentleman who had just ended
an extensive stay at the Alcatraz resort
This man, who used to be prominent Ill
Chicago racket circles, says that Alcatraz
is decidedly unlike other prisons. .-
"There are no radios, no newspapers, no
privileges of any kind he complains. mot
a word can be spoken by any of the con-
yicts in line, at the table, at work, or III
their cells. On Saturday afternoons this re-
striction is removed, when the convicts are
allowed in the yard. They can talk then
from one to three-thirty." .r
When the convicts file through the cafe
terra for meals, each one has to eat every
thing that he puts on his tray. If he fails,
he gets punished. If he buys a magazine,
the warden tears out whole pages to shield
him from stories about crime, prisons Or
detectives. .... .. .....l e,
All letters are rewritten to prevent the
use of codes. A convict may receive one
visit month, from a relative, and must
converse through plate glass wall by
means of a speaking tube. .. .
Its as near escape-proof as anything
can be made" the prisoner adds. Its the
toughest pen I've ever seen. The hopeless
ness of it gets you. Al CapOne feels it.
Everybody does. You know you'll never
get parole. There's no chance there for
angbody-only that God-awful silence that
gets on your nerves" -
All of this leads one to believe that the
federal authorities used some real intelli-
gence when they put Alcatraz prison to-
gether. it, .. 8.
Ordinary prisons cannot be run on such
rigid lines. They contain huge numbers OF
short-termers; men who will presently be
back in ordinary life again, and who must
be handled in such way that they will
have fair chance to become decent, law
abiding citizens once more. A too hard
boiled regime, making them feel depressed
and resentfuI, defeats its own aim. 49,,
But Alcatraz is different. 1t gets no first
offenders or short-termers. It's doors open
only to the real tough guys the men
whom it is idle to try to reclaim for hon.
est society. These men understand just one
kind of language. T.
As a general thing, it is probably true
that discipline in American prisons is too
severe and unyielding. But not at Alcatraz
The kidnapers, murderers, racketeers, and
bahk-robbers who make up its clientele
can't be handled with kid gloves.

Editor, The Times-News:
"New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth y
Reading your editorials on the
New Deal Cor as you are pleased
to call it, the "Raw Deal") along
with the writings of the worlds
greatest thinkers, one is compelle1
to the conclusion that you are one
of the Rip Van Wrinkles Of jour
nalism! You are sloshing around
in the Serbonian Boys of the 10Th
century looking towards the Nal
thusian conceptions of the 18th
century. You are a hundred years
behind the "BEST MINDS" who
piloted our Ship of State into the
economic cyclone of 1929! If |
understand your position as set
forth in your editorials, the gov
eminent Of the United States to-
day is an INCUBUS OF RADI-
CALISM" bent upon the over
throw of constitutional govern
ment and the achievement of an
ultimate dictatorship. That is all
l can make out of your editorial,
"BUY REAL ESTATE" Labeled
as a tonic to stimulate the pur-
case of realty, it is in fact corro-
sive sublimate for the New Deal
If | understand you, it is your
opinion that "a large majority Of
the country's population" have
little faith in the bonds of the
United States government and
that by reason of this lack Of
faith the governments baby bond
campaign has been the biggest flop
in history! Yet, in the same edi-
torial, you say "bonds Of the
Washington regime are being pu"-
chased now by but two classes Of
people"-''the very rich and the
banks" The very rich to dodge
taxes and the banks because they
are compelled to by the grip of
the government on their throats
What good, may l ask, is a worth
less bond for taxation even if It
were a taxable asset? Taxes are
not payable on anything that can
be shown to have no value.
1t cannot be denied by anyone
! that most of the every rich" peo-
Iple in this country are bitterly op-
posed to the administration and
are backing the tremendous propa-
ganda that would make the rank
and file of the people of the coun-
try believe that the president and
his advisors are bent on wrecking
the constitution and setting up a
dictatorship. If they believe their
own propaganda. why are they the
only people besides the banks who
are buying the bonds that are be-
ing issued under the INCUBUS
OF RADICALISM"? The fact is
that the statement is not true.
Government bonds are being
bought by every class of the peo-
pie who have anything with which
to buy them! Unfortunately, mil
lions of our people have not got
the means to buy bread and to
them the purchase of bond of
any kind is a shadowy hope for
achievement in an indefinite and
remote future, if ever.
What you don't understand is
that "new forces have entered into
world history; that the present
condition of world economies is
something unprecedented in hui
man history; "that the chief cos
mic force which is now at work 90

Closing Tone Heavy With Trade
About Average for satur-
day Short Session

New York, March 23.-(R)-The
stock market received no fresh In
spiration to bolster It Saturday and
prices were pulled ifregularly lower.
Trading was about the average for
the Saturday short session. The clos
ing tone was heavy. Transfers aggre.
gated 800 1000 shares.
Faced with Indifferent weekend
trade reports, coupled with sagging
grain prices, the congressional snarl
over the work relief bill and weekend
adjustment Of accounts, the share
market was hesitant from the begin
ming and with the exception Of . few
bright spots in non.ferrous metals
and isolated cases Of strength In
other groups, leaders went along
easily with the downward current.
Cotton futures recovered and final
prices were is cents to SO cents q bale
net lower.
Foreign exchanges were more stable
following sharp recovery In the Bel
gian currnecy which has kept interna-
tional dollar rates on edge for sew
eral days.
Metal stocks were the only group
showing resistance and leaders had
advanced nearly . point before yield
ing part Of the gains. Howe Sound
and Roam Antelope retained advances
Of about u point, but U. 8. sme!ting
and CelTo de Pasco were unchanged
to trifle lower.
Other divisions also produced q few
firm spots. American Crystal Sugar
Preferred was bid up 3 points, Simms
Petroleum, Freeport Texas and Amer
ican Shipbuilding got up around one
and fractional advances were shown
by Lggett & Myers 'B" and Amer
ican Bank Note.
Renewed selling In rails and utili-
ties placed the krunt Of the decline In
these groups. Losses Of q point or
more were shown by Union Pacific,
Santa Fe and Radio Preferred "B,"
while smaller declines occurred in
American Telephone, Consolidated
Gas. American Water Works. Penn
sylvania, New York Central and
Southern Pacific.
Motor shares received little encour-
agement from the slightly higher out
put during the current week and such
leaders as General Motors and Chrys-
