LEGION PARADE
CENSORSHIP is
MAJOR ISSUE
National Commander Urges
Concerted Drive for
Bonus PASSAGE.

Pleas for publication" Of Ameri-
can Legion parades and a concerted
drive to secure passage Of the bonus
bill were made today at the Legion
commanders and adjutants confer
ence at national headquarters, TT
N. Meridian-st.
Commander Ray Murphy urged a
ban on parade stunts of salacious
character in his address to the 200
commanders and adjutants attend
ing the conference.
/ don't want to appear a prude
or a Scold, but it seems to me that
legion parades should be pageants
of patriotism. I know this year at
ST. Louis much criticism was direct
ed toward us. he said.
We've all become of age and it
seems there's no necessity Of Legion
naires parading in scanty attire.
Suggests Care in Selection
He suggested commanders take
this into consideration in the nam
ing of parade marshals.
A bonus bill, written to answer
the veto of President Roosevelt and
without inflationary proposals, is to
be pressed for final passage in Con-
gress, the Legion executives were
told by John Thomas Taylor, vice
chairman of the national legislative
committee.
He said he had been assured that
the bonus bill would receive first
consideration in the United States
Senate in the coming session.
Mr.. Taylor pointed out the posi-
bility that United States Supreme
Court action on New Deal legisla-
ton might result in delay in the
bonus if the Administration is forced
into bringing remedial legislation
before Congress-
Need for broadening the Economy
Act, the passage of bills for payment
of pensions to orphans and war
widows of veterans dying of non
service connected ailments, also are
to be given major consideration by

Congress.

Americanism work for the ensuing
year also were major topics of the
conference.

were as follows Is for 10 years, two
for II years one for 25 years, one
for five to 10 years and three for
10 to IS years Sentences for reel
divists show the same irregularity."
Cites Habitual Criminal Law
Indiana has had an h3bitual
criminal law for many years. Six
teen men in the State Prison were
found to have been sentenced under
this law, 367 others had had as bad
or worse records, and they had not
been sentenced under this law.
"A comparative study CT the SEN
fences Of first offenders and re-
Cidivists for Is different offenSes re-
vealed no wcll-dehned tendency on
the part of courts to give heavier
sentences to recidiviSts than to first
offenders.
1T is inevitable that those men
who received the comparatively long
sentences will be embittereu by that
fact. AS they see it, organized So
ciety has been unjust to them. Be-
cause they are embittered, they
probably are poor risks Tor parole.
To blame parole alone for their re-
turn to crime is little short of
inanc.
Bitterness Not Only Handicap
But bitterness is not the only
handicap under which the parole
organization operates. About so per
cent of the prisoners in Indiana in
stitutiOnS are recidiviSts, and it is
highly probable that many of these
lepeatcrs are psychopathic and neu
rotic, and some of them are in
sane.
None OF those in the Indiana Re
formatory has been pronounced in
sane, but the repeated criminal be-
navior of these reCidiviStS is good
prcSumptiVe evidence that their
mental processes deviate consider
ably from those Of normal citizens.
When one of these repeaters
comes before a court, he is tried on
the basis of the facts relating to
the commission of the offenSe with
which he is charged.
His normal or abnormal person
atty traits are not considered, I'M
less he presents clear cut symptoms
OF insanity Yet these traits are
more important from the viewpoint
of society than the mere fact of the
guilt of the man.
They determine what to expect
of him, and yet society turns these
persons over to the parole author
tiles with the expectation that, if
parole is a sound method of penal
administration, they will be restored
to good citizenship. 1t is an absurd
responsibility to place upon parole
