The success of the Alcatraz policy
recently was announced by Sanford
Bates, director of the Federal Bureau
of Prisons, who said the island prison
had had "a wholesome and almost
soporific effect" on inmates Of other
penitentiaries. He commented upon
the astonishing quiet" at both At
lanta and Leavenworth.
Regulations at AlcatraZ are part OF
the definite Federal campaign to de
fate" the inmates and break their
connections with the criminal world.
That campaign includes sharp hnita-
tons on all contacts with the out
side. Only one visit a month, and
that from a blood relative, who has
been checked by Federal authorities.

TO TALK POLITICS

Through Omaha on Way

By the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr.. August l0-Former
President Herbert Hoover, 81 today,
passed through Omaha tonight en-
route to the East on business and, as
usual. declined to talk politics.
Smiling and cheerful, Hoover fatty
refused to discuss politics and dis
missed the Republican victory in
Rhode Island by saying:
IF I got started I'd never stop"
The former President conferred here
with Robert G. Simmons of Lincoln,
prominent Nebraska Republican, who
has been mentioned frequently as a
potential candidate for Vice Presi-
dent in 1886. Simmons was the Re
publican candidate for Senator from
Nebraska last Fall. but was defeated
by Senator Edward r. Burke, Demo-
crat, who campaigned on New
Deal" platform.
Hoover said he was going to Chi
cago and New York to attend meet
ings of several life insurance COM
panies, and charitable benevolent So
cieties Of which he Is director.
The former President was accom-
panied by Ben S. Allen of Palo Alto.

tor for the Belgian Relief Committee,

have newspapers because, as the
warden puts it: There is too much
spot news of them and their kind
and crime. 1t might be too stimulat-
ing, or I'd better put it, too exciting
in the wrong way"
Books and magazines from a Sc
lected list are allowed, but the latter
must be sent direct from the publisher
and must contain nothing derisive Of
Government and authority.
The policy Of breaking all outside
contacts goes further. No news of a
particular prisoner or his activities
passes from behind the walls. The
hope is he will be forgotten.
Trips of prisoners to the prison are
kept secret, as in the case of VALLEY,
because there might be dangers.
I'VE don't mind admitting when
they have arrived" says Johnston.
That's ALL"

lanta in ghost train" in August,

BERWYN CITIZENS
SEEK FUND SHARE
Junior High School, New
Traffic Artery and Pool
Are Aim.

BY 0 STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
BERWYN, Md, August 10.-Citizens
Of this community are campaigning
for junior high school, swimming
pool and a new traffic artery as their
share of the public works program.
On behalf of the community, w.
F. Mulligan, civic leader, recently laid
the projects before County Commits
sioner Harry McNamee, who promised
his support.
Mulligan, who is chairman of the
Legislative Committee of the County
Federation of Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions, said that group might be asked
to indorse the junior high school pro-
posal, which, he claims, is the most
urgent need Of the community at the
present time.
Rhode Island Extension.
The proposed swimming pool would
be built at Autoville Springs, and
would be the first municipal pool in
Prince Georges COUNTY.
The traffic artery sought is the ex-
tension and improvement of Rhode
Island avenue. This project has the
Endorsement of other communities
through which the avenue passes and
of numerous county officials. includ-
ing Perry Boswell. president of the
Board of County Commissioners.
Although there is some division OF
sentiment regarding abandonment Of
the present street car line, which
parallels the avenue from the Dis
trict line to Beltsville, the conver-
sion of the railroad right Of way into
a roadbed, and the substitution OF
buses for the cars, Boswell believe:
this should be done.
He cited the recent substitution oi
busses for cars aRd improvement OF
Wisconsin avenue as an example o1
what progressive" communities are
doing in similar situations, and said
he had noticed several similar projects
in wide awake" New England towns
Would Add to School.
The junior high school proposal
wfich is expected to be submitted tc
the School Board soon. would involve
construction of an addition of at least
two class rooms and an auditorium
to the present Berwyn School.
1t is pointed out that the schoo
is centrally located for the College
Park, Branchville, Beltsville area, anc
would be needed because at present
there are no high schools between
Hyattsville and Laurel.
Although the constitution of the
County PIT. A. Federation prevents
1t from indorsing any strictly local
project, Berwyn school patrons be-
lieve the county organization coulo
support the junior high school plan
as children from several communities
are involved.
The federation set precedent this
Summer. it is claimed, when it backed
demands for bus line from Lanham
to Bladensburg, which also affects 9
number of schools and communities.

CONCESSIONS URGED
BY SOVIET SPEAKERS
Moscow Farley Expected to Back
Bourgeois Governments in
Fight on Fascism.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August l0.-A three
point summary of its recommended
tions to national Communist parties
apparently was in the making today
as the seventh congress of the Third
Internationale heard more speakers
propose concessions from traditional
stands as a sacrifice to the united
front against fascism.
Next weeks sessions are expected
to bring this summary:
/. Support Of bourgeois democratic
governments.
2. Collaboration with Com
munist but anti-Fascist political and
religious organization.
8. To take the initiative or at least
give full backing for movements look
ing toward united front governments
It has been made clear, however,
by the principal comintern speakers
that Communist participation in any
united front government would be
merely a stepping stone to efforts for
establishment of Soviet regime.
Martha Stone, representing the
American Communist women's Or
ganization, urged greater attention to
the spreading of Communist doctrines
among women.

NEW YORK, August 10.-The Sc
cret of Prince Alexis Midvani's dispo-
sition of his fortune, unofficially eSti-
mated at to 10 million dollars, re-
manned locked tonight in the strong
boxes of his lawyers, but reports per-
sisted that one-fifth of it was be-
uueathed to his former wife, the
Countess Barbara Hutton Haugwitz-
Reventlow. already heiress to fabulous
sums.
Millard F. Tompkins, sr.. the princes
lawyer here, declined to comment on
the published reports. He would con-
firm only that his firm had Alexis
will: that It was not known whether
the document was the last testament
and that no attempt would be made
to probate 1t until that point is
cleared up-probably in about two
months.
The New York will was made in
January, 1884, before Countess Bar
bara and Mdivani were separated by
a Reno divorce decree. The prince
has two brothers and two sisters, who
share equally under the will.
