PRISON |DLENESS
TO Be COMBATTED
New Association Plans Ex.
pansion of Industries in
State Institutions.
By the Associated Press.


MADISON, Wis, December 14.-A
concerted effort by the States to meet
the growing menace of idleneSs in the
Nations prisons was described today
by John ]. Hannah, president of the
Wisconsin Board of Control and head
of a new national association of State
prison officials.
Hannah said the problem would be
attacked by expansion of prison in
dustries with the least possible COM
petition with private enterprise and
by development of allied activities,
such as education of inmates, i'm
provement of the parole system and
promotion of probation for first Of
tenders.
Lack Understanding.
In an interview, Hannah said the
public had no adequate understanding
Of the prison problem and that points
of view differed on the question Of
prison manufacture of goods for the
market
There are several systems under
which a prison might operate" he
said. zone is the use of prison Ia
Dor by private employer through a
contract or lease system. Another is
the State use plan under which goods
are produced only for unsupported
institutions. Still another is the State
| account plan in which the State
handles the complete operation Of
prison industries and markets the
goods.
ITO me 1t seems that it makes no
difference which plan is used so long
as production cost is kept on a basis
comparable with competing private
industry. 1t should be remembered
that prison inmate, before he is
incarcerated and after he is released,
is always potentially available to pri-
vate industry. While he is in prison
society should not be deprived of his
ability to produce.
Value of Work Recognized.
''The value of the therapy of work
in the rehabilitation of a prisoner is
generally recognized as the most effec-
tive rehabilitative agency in that it
inculcates habits of industry the
lack OF which is found in the ma
jority Of convicted law offenders"
Hannah said the national associa-
tion was committed to development
Of the State-use system where prac-
tical but that no one plan of prison
employment would fit the condition
of all States.
Hannah said prison education
would be directed toward tying in
academic work with vocational in
struction to At the prisoner for the
employment he is given.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Data on a method Of determining
the quality Of mans offspring. which
scientists said might some day be
used in developing super men, was
presented yesterday by the Carnegie
Institution.
The method already has been used
to develop a super horse, Discovery
Of the Vanderbilt Stables, champion
Of the year.
The 'Manerkon" system Of deter.
mining the probable quality Of OF.
spring differs from the centuries-old
Mendelian laws of heredity. which
deal with individual characteristics
such as the color Of eyes. The
''Manerkon" formula expresses the
sum total Of the effect Of large
number of genes on the chromosomes
bits Of protoplasm IL body cells in
which heredity is carried from gem
Grafton to generation.
DR.. H. H. Laughlin Of the institu-
tons department Of genetics worked
out the probability resultants" Of
the method by using race horses as
experimental subjects because their
ancestry records and performance
records have been accurately kept for
many years.
He added 1t was conceivable It
might be used on human beings,
under certain conditions Of racial exc
pertinent, II it were possible to OBJ
tain complete and accurate records Of

uals and q measure Of what consti-

Gov. Harold G. Hoffman only yes

Hauptmann'S electrocution viii close
the celebrated case.
IT have hardly spoken to a person
who believes that the execution OF
Hauptmann will write the last chapter
in this crime" said the Governor just
before Justice Thomas w. Trenchard
signed a new death warrant.
They doubt that there has been a
complete solution. The majority be-
lieves he's guilty, but they think rid
dies remain.
Sees Justice Thwarted.
GAS the situation now stands. death
would lock Hauptmann's lips forever
If he later should be found innocent
terrible moral crime would have beer
committed by electrocution.
"If he is guilty and accomplices ex-
isted all hope of bringing them to
justice would be destroyed"
The execution can be stayed only
by the Court Of Pardons, Of which the
Governor is a member, unless Haupt-
mann should ask and be granted a new
trial on the ground Of newly discovered
evidence.
A State law. however, appeared to
block the way for the latter procedure
statute provides that the court may
open judgment and grant new trial
within six months Of the, conviction. >
Hauptmann was found guilty 1C
months ago.
The exact day for the execution
will be set by Col. Kimberling.
Political Handicap Seen.
Friends Of the Governor have sug-
gested that his interest in the case
mas jeopardized his political future
some have viewed him as a potential
Republican candidate for the presi-
dental or vice presidential nomina
ton.
He said he was willing to take that
chance because he is determined to
see that justice is done"
He said he did not question the
verdict or the death sentence. but
added that there was some evidence
presented by Ellis Parker. chief OF
Burlington County detectives, which
raised doubts in his mind.
He declined to say what Parker
had disclosed to him.
Since he became Governor, he said,
five men have been electrocuted and
in each case he heard final pleas OF
relatives or counsel and sustained the
Judgment Of the courts because he
felt the doomed men we're guilty.
There was no maudlin sentimen-
tality about this" he said.
Defense counsel, uncertain as tc
their immediate move, planned tc
confer early next week. They already
have indicated they will ask the
Court of Pardons for clemency.
Rejection of their plea would moi
prejudice their case If they chose tc
ask the trial judge, Justice Trenchard
for new trial.

KNOX SEES DEBT
"a BILLION IN SO
Hits Daisy Chain of Words
in Roosevelt SoIvency
Speech.
By the Associated Press.

WORCESTER, Mass, December IL.
Col. Frank Knox hit President
Roosevelt's recent solvency speech at
Atlanta by predicting last night the
end Of this fiscal year would see the
Nation saddled with an unprecedented
public debt of S34, 900 ,000, 900.
Such rise, the Chicago publisher,
frequently mentioned as a Republican
presidential possibility In 1896, told
Worcester County Republican women,
would approximate so per cent in
crease during the incompleted first
term Of thA President.
He assailed Rooseveltian spending"
and quoted freely from the Presidents
Atlanta speech in support of his thesis.
There Roosevelt said, quoted Knox,
I'VE are once more in the black. In
1888 we were insolvent. Today We are
solvent"
Debt Increase Seen.
''Then," Knox added, "in the same
speech he went on to say that in 1898
we had a debt of S2l ,O00, 100000 (and,
by the way. the correct figure was
several hundred million dollars less
than that and he further admitted
that on the day of his speech the debt
had increased to more than s29,000.-
900 600.
But he avoided the additional fact
that by the end of the present fiscal
year the debt will be $4,000, 900 ,000."
Knox charged the President lin
other words assured the American
people that by getting further into
debt they were getting further out
of it."
At Atlanta, said Knox, the President
declared: American life has i'm.
proved in these two years and a half
and, if I have anything to do with it,
it is going to improve more in the
days to come"
But, asserted Knox, mo daisy chain

Improvement can come, he declared,
only through work and through lower
costs in Government. not by merely
lowering deficits, as President Roose-
welt promised to do in Atlanta" y" but
"by stopping the deficits as Candi-
date Roosevelt promised to do If
elected"
Ways of improving American life,
Knox said, ought to include: Return

Before he left here for New York
last night, Davies, who has been liv-

The fact that no outstanding econo-
mists in the country favor the Town
send plan is not considered by the
TownSendites to indicate a defect in
their scheme. They write that matter
of with the explanation that the econ
omists are paid by their bosses to fear
the big boon.
Non-partisans may suspect there are
one or two foremost economists in the
country who are honest.
But so far only two economists who
are sufficiently well known here to be
recalled offhand by their brother econ
omists have written publicly in favor
Of the Townsend movement. It ap-
pears that both have received fees.
This fact would indicate that the boss
economist question boils down to the
simple issue of whose boss Gas Mr.
Roosevelt says) has the chickenpox.
1t Is rather deep stuff, but trust
aDorthy economists say the t1IId-
cious economic reasoning of the
ToDnsendites can be proved, II you
take their 1929 base and tollop tt
through. In other DordS, to get the
effect of the plan, consider, for en-
ample, only that many persons oDer
so are nolD employed.
The first effect would be to with
draw 4,156,o00 elderly persons from
their existing gainful employment
Apply the economic effects Of this
withdrawal upon a prosperous eco
nomic system, the economists say. and
you have the scholastic explanation
Of the error Of the Townsend way.
Only economists can explain that In
their class rooms. In fact, only econo-

UNION ELECTION
HALTED BY COURT
Temporary Restraining Or
der Granted in Atlanta
Labor Appeal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Justice Oscar R. Luhring of District
Supreme Court yesterday signed an
order temporarily restraining an en-
ploye election in the Gate City Cotton
Mills, Atlanta, which had been set for
today.
The action was taken in a suit
brought by Mrs. Lola Echols. a mill
worker, who attacked the constitution
atty of the Wagner labor disputes act.
under authority of which the National
Labor Relations Board had called the
election. Justice Luhring's order is
returnable December II.
In her suit, the sixth attack on the
labor law in Federal courts, Mrs.
Echols claimed the law deprived her
of liberty and property. violated her
right Of freedom of contract and was
contrary to the due process clause Of
the Constitution.
Election Date Set.
On December Z, she said, the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board ordered
an election to determine whether Local
No. 1888, United Textile Workers of
America. should be designated as the
agency to bargain for employees with
the mill owners.
Mrs. Echols set forth she had re-
signed from the union, an American
Federation of Labor affiliate, and that
the officers could not be interested in
protecting her interests.
Even If the labor act were constitu-
tional, the suit contended it was not
applicable to the Gate City Mills,
which it was claimed conducted an
exclusively intrastate business.
Permanent Injunction Asked.
The petition asked q temporary re-
straining order, a preliminary in
junction and eventually q permanent
injunction against the board.
Filed minutes before the court
closed yesterday, the case was hurried
here after Judge Edgar Z. Pomeroy
in the Fulton County (Atlanta) SUI
perior Court, ruled two similar suits
failed to show clearly that the ballot
ing would mean an invasion Of con-
stitutional rights.

His 2 per cent tax would have
tapped that kitty for a theoretical
S8, SOC, 100000, instead of his adver-
tised s20,O00,O 100000. For this year
the revenue would have been possibly
S9,000,000,000 on the basis of avail
able unofficial estimates)
1884 Computations.
The 1884 computation figures down
to S64 a month, or little over So a
day, for the 100000 persons over
60 years of age, 80 per cent of who
do not need it.
The fundamental danger does not,
however. lie in Dr. Townsends highly
optimistic calculations, but in esti-
mates of what his plan would do to
the established business systems, to
the cost of living for the poor and
middle classes, to the banking busi-
ness, to stock market transactions-in
fact, to all economic life.
When you start on that, you gel
into the realm Of indefinite theory
which all sincere Townsendites now
occupy. But if any one wants tc
spend rainy afternoon exploring the
fantastic price increases, ETC., it woulC
provide him fanciful entertainment.
Many good economists. out of
edrstot of their bosses here, Dill
tell you transactions on the stock
exchange Dould be largely dbol-
ished, that the bookkeeping in
uolued tUould require surveillance By
halt the Nation to keep the other
halt straight, that eriSting divi-
sionS of industry Would hare to
be shaken do,on and entirely re-
organized.
Townsend circulars make their fig
ures look roster still, by computing tbs
cost of crime at S1,5o0,000 900 q
month, the cost of charity al
$4,000 .00o,0 900. The total is $4,500,-
100000 a month or $54,000,000,00 a
year, of which the circulars say SO
per cent would be saved by the Town
send plan.
1t sounds big. 1t is big-in fact, too
big.
A4AC 4dSI IL bIldI lIlc
income of the United States last year
was not as much as the Townsendites
say was spent on crime and charity.
The national income was $50, ,000, ,000,-
900, or $4,000, 100000 short of the
Townsend computation of the cost of
crime and charity.
Or consider the charity bill alone,
as that is direct payment. The
Townsend circular computes it at
$50, 900 100000 year, or three
fourths of the national income. 1t
makes Mr.. Roosevelt's $4,000, ,000, 900
for supporting 100000 persons look
like sand hill.
Gold Brick Inspiration.
Also there is good ground for sus-
pecting that the Townsend plan
might work two ways on crime. 1t Is
conceivable that every skinfiint and
crook in the country would drop
present pursuits to sell gold bricks
and gadgets to the recipients of DR..
Townsend's monthly bounty.

TINE fatal arithmetical trick be.
hind the Townsend old-age
pension plan is disclosed by the
- fact that the well-meaning doc
tor chose to base his figures on 1929
business.
No other year in the history of the
world would have offered him suffi-
GENTLY inflated statistics to make his
plan balance up on paper. At least
the banking transaction turnover Of
that year (which forms the basis for
DR.. Townsend's published calcula-
tions) was. the largest in history.
If the doctor has based his reu-
enue hopes on the banking turn
ouer of 1894, he mould Teceipe er-
actly SOS instead OF 5000 month
for his pensioners.
There is, of course, large differ
ence between tax returns on paper
and tax receipts in the Treasury.
But conceding that DR.. Townsend
could have applied and collected his
tax, it would have worked out this
way for last year:
The bank turnover for 268 cities
was just about one-third of 1929,
namely 1856, $50 100000 Fedeyal Re-
serve Board official figures). If you
follow DR.. Townsend's reasoning and
add 10 per cent for other cities and
another 10 per cent for cash which did
not go through banks, you will find
that his theoretically taxable Jackpot
would amount to exactly $428,256,-
100000, instead of the 1929 figure OF
81, 800, 100000, 900.

Opponents Of the Franco-British
program, fighting for the sanctity Of
the League covenant, conceded that q
protracted war and application of new
sanctions against Italy, would bring
risks of disrupting the economic situa-

They insisted, however, that the risk
must be run to strengthen the League

A spokesman for one great power
said that If the peace negotiations fail,
the sanctions discussion undoubtedly
would be resumed and that it was
quite possible an extension of the
present arms, financial and economic
penalties against Italy would be de-

the original League peace plan, pro-
viding international development for
Ethiopia, and would decide to fight
