gram, Gov. Eugene Talmadge of
Georgia today filed a petition chal-
lenging constitutionality of the Bank

com Deaver did not grant a tempo

Nye to Speak in Radio Forum

Senator Gerald P. Nye OF N)rth
Dakota. leader in the move to take
profit out sof war;" will speak on the
neutrality resolution, signed yester-
day by President Roosevelt, in the
National Radio Forum Thursday
night.
The program, arranged by The
Star, will be broadcast over Ma
tion-wide hook-up of the National
Broadcasting Co. beginning at 1890.
Station WRC will be the District out
let.
Senator Nye headed the Senate
committee which investigated the
munitions business and led fight
for adoption of the neutrality reso-
luton, which places a six-month
embargo on any shipment Of srms
or munitions to belligerent foreign
nations. The period runs to the end
of February.
In signing the resolution yester-
day, President Roosevelt said:
"I have approved this joint reso-
luton because it was intended as
an expression of the fixed desire OF
the Government and the people OF
the United States to avoid any action
which might involve us in war. The
purpose is wholly excellent and this

loose after long periods of idleness and
degeneration.
Our plea is that prison punishment
should be scientific, intelligent and
protective. This does not mean leni-
ency of treatment. We are prepared
to demonstrate that reformatory
treatment is in the long run protec-
tive.
An essential and logical element In
this process is the establishment Of
a properly safeguarded and wisely ad-
ministered parole system. Whenever
a prisoner has finished his allotted
time in a prison. it is safer for the
community and better for him that
he be discharged under the strict
supervision of parole system.
In this field, as in the case Of pro-
baton, we must insist upon intelligent,
honest. discriminating and properly
safeguarded exercise of this important
duty.
Figures on Prisoners.
Figures can be cited to show that:
!. Only about per cent OF paroled
men fail and are revoked.
2. The average time spent in prison
by paroled men Is Just as long, and
perhaps longer, as the average OF
those who are discharged without
parole.
3. Less than l per cent OF current
arrests are found to be on parole.
The battle against crime must con-
tinue on many fronts, with many dl-
verse weapons, and with the reallZa-
tion that an understanding co-opera-
ton and militant determination on
the part OF ali departments OF gov
ernment are essential to success. But
we must all of us realize that the
Government, alone and unaided, can
not be expected permanently to cure
the crime situation, and that only
as and when the citizens themselves,
through local groups, resolve that our
neighborhoods shall be freed OF the
conditions which breed crime will
those same communities be entirely
protected.

FARMERS ATTACK

CHICAGO, August 31.-A dozen
Midwestern hog farmers in a suit to-
day attacked constitutionality of the

to its purpose it reduced their income.
They asked the Cook County Superior
Court to order eight Chicago packing
companies to pay them back.
Their bill demanded an accounting

repaid" part of the $6,000,000 in
processing taxes which the packers
allegedly withheld from the Govern
ment pending Federal court decision
on conStitutionality of the tax.
James C. Spence, one Of the plain
tiffs' attorneys, said:
This is not suit to embarrass the
packers in their fight to have the
processing tax knocked out. My cli-
ents also believe it Is unconstitutional. !"
Spence said his clients, all from
Iowa and Illinois, were merely typi-
cal hog raisers" and not representa-
tives of any farm or political organi-
zation.
In their bill they asked that results
Of the suit, if successful, apply to all
other hog farmers.

death while mountain climbing. Since
that time she has Stunned public

The new duty will not be easy for
the graying, SO year old Queen

Charlotte, approaching her 9th birth
day, and her younger brother, Prince

There can be no doubt but there is
an uneasy feeling in financial quar-

DROWNED BOYS MOTHER

GOSHEN, N. Y, August 31.-Mrs.

racketeer and the kidnaper, and yet
realize that there are almost as many
kinds of criminals as there are vari-
cites of human beings.
Probation should be availed Of only
where its use may be fairly expected
in the long run to protect society,
where its effect would be to salvage
humanity for future usefulness at less
expense than If the individual were
sent to jail or prison.
A Judge, upon finding an offender
guilty. must do something with nim.
The hundreds of thousands OF persons
found guilty each year OF minor crimes
cannot all be sent to prison ana they
should not be turned loose without
control. Probation provides the an
swer. 1t is constructive rather than
destructive. 1t is economical ana 1t
IS humane.
Protection as Purpose.
Our prisons should not be conduct
ed in the interests OF the prisoner,
but solely with the thought In mind
OF protecting our communities. our
first duty is to restrain the inmates
and prevent their escape. Our second
duty is by the imposition OF a rigid
discipline to deter others from COM
mittlng crime.
In these two efforts 1t Is generally
felt that the prisons of the country
have succeeded. But the point is
being made with increasing emphasis
that our prisons fail because they
do not entirely protect our COM
munities if men who must eventually
be discharged are turned out worse
and more desperate than when they
went in. Thus we find ourselves COM
PEELED to engage in the very difficult
task OF at once Furnishing men and
at the same time improving their
characters and capabilities.
We must contrive to keep the dan
gerous man in prison as long as the
protection of the community demands
such action, but we must not hesitate
to let the reformable prisoner out be-
fore that time arrives when he has
lost the ability or the desire to live
a law-abiding life. This Is the reason
for the demand that men in prison be
kept busy at some productive task,
that they be taught the rudiments
of American citizenship, that the
physical, mental and moral handi-
caps and Embellishments be removed.
In the pursuit Of this program no
one need fear that the prisons of
the country are becoming places of
pleasant sojourn. There are enough
riots, escapes, intrigues and solicita-
tion of political pressure among the
prisoners to reassure us that most
of them are not being coddled into
state of satisfaction with their sur
roundings.
I cannot help voicing an earnest
plea that, in spite of depressed eco
nomic conditions. full realization be
had of the absolute necessity of pro-
viding productive labor for prisoners.
No short-sighted policy, no difference
to the demands of one industrial
group or another should be permitted
to prevail against the public interest
in this phase of the prison problem.
Our communities will reap the harvest
of their neglect if men are turned

DR.. Ilsley Boone, executive secretary
Of the conference, gave secretarial and
financial reports.
"Is nudism being practiced at the
business meetings." DR.. Boone was
asked.
Il can't answer that" he said.
DR.. Boone explained that the mud
lists would discuss mainly the problem
Of teaching tolerance to old-faShlUned
citizens who still wear clothes.
"A larger measure of public toler-
ance might now reasonably be expected
when certain areas of public parks can
be set aside for sun-bathing," he said.
Further. sun bathing might be per-
mitted on certain sections of public
bathing beaches"
Like charity, DR.. Boone said. nudism
should begin at home. He believes
that domestic nudism is increasing.
Men Hold Contests.
The conference closed its first day
with athletic competition for the men
members. 1t will convene at 9 am.
tomorrow to discuss the religious as
