HOOVER AND BATES.
DIFFER ON PAROLE
Prison Chief FavorS System,
but Leader of "G-Men"
Cites Violations.

BY the Associated Press.
Mention the word parole" at the
Department of of Justice and you get
two distinct and clashing reactions.
To Sanford Bates, Federal prison
director, it is a fine thing. To j.
Edgar Hoover the way the parole sys-
tenn works is pretty close to an abom-
enar1on.
Hoover, chief of the "G-men."
points with concern to the fact that
H. M. Whaley, Weyerhaeuser kid
naper, who pleaded guilty, may be
paroled after serving Is years of his
45-year term. Whaley now is in GUS
tody of the Federal Bureau of PriS-
ons, directed by Bates
"a Menace" Says Hoover"
parole today is becoming one Of
the major menaces of America"
Hoover said in a recent speech.
Through its misapplication convicts
are being freed with little or no SUI
pervision and often with no sound
reason for releases"
Hoover has often repeated that the
Dillingers, Floyds and other hodlums
usually have been freed previously on
paroles or probation.
Bates answered that paroles and
probation, properly administered, are
O success.
Pointing to the fact that Hoover
has assembled fingerprint records of
more than 100000 persons in GRIM
1nal files, Bates says:
obviously not every one can be
kept in prisons.
Many Paroles Are Successful.
"The argument on paroles is as old
as civilization. We always will have
the Grim. nal with us. Are we going
to kick him out of prison into society
or are we going to let him out on a
Etring-a parole?"
When Hoover cited the long list of
kidnapings, murders and other crimes
attributed to paroled convicts, Bates
noted that only parole mistakes are
known to the public.
1T must be remembered that the
many parole successes are not and
cannot be advertised he said. For
every case of parole violation a dozen
cases can be cited where properly
administered parole treatment has
succeeded"

doctor whose speciality was taking a
sick railroad and making it well and
vigorous. 1t was that record of
achievement that caused the Van
SWerlngenS to turn to him when the
time came to launch their ambitious
program of fewer and more efficient
railroad systems.
Native of New York.
Mr.. Bernet was born at Bfant,
N. Y, near Buffalo, February 9, 1868,
and, like most poor boys, had to be
content with public school educa-
ton.
Dissuaded from being a blacksmith,
the boy wandered over to a railroad
switch shanty Of the old Lake Shore
q Michigan Southern and became
fascinated by the ticking of the tele-
graph instrument. He was given an
opportunity to learn it, and when he
had mastered the art of sending and
receiving by code. he launched upon
his railroad career.
Progress Rapid
From that point Bernet's progress
was rapid. In succession he became
q telegraph operator, train dispatcher,
train master, assistant superintendent,
division superintendent, assistant gen.
eral superintendent, general superin-
tendent and the vice president of the
New York Central Lines west of Buff
1alo, that system having acquired the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.
In 1916 OrriS P. and Mantis ]. Van
Sweringen of Cleveland bought the
Nickel Plate road running from Buff
1alo to Cleveland. They began look
ing for the best man to run their
railroad and make it pay dividends
and found Bernet. Then when the
Van Sweringens got control of the
Erie, they put Bernet at its head, and
he duplicated the success he had had
with the Nickel Plate In 1929 it was
decided that Bernet was needed as
head of the Chesapeake & Ohio, the
main stem around which the Van
Sweringens planned a fourth trunk
line system in the East, and he was
made president of that road in sue
eession to w. j. Harahan.
Mr.. Bernet was married and the
father Of five children.

trout from hooking themselves and exper. fence has shown that the majority of small trout thus hooked by accident will die when released. -" Not being fish erman, although a friend of fisherman, we naturally wouldn't think about that. No doubt the mortality in infant trout, lured out of their element by juicy worm or one of the numerous artificial flies dangled before piscatorial eyes, is heavy. But with the state stocking streams today with trout above this size we wouldn't think there'd be many six inchers.
 And according to the report that Super intendent Clark of the State Board of Fisheries and Game the large trout are disappearing from our streams, though check-up reveals that it isn't the fisher men who get them. Some migrate to other waters; many die. All of which indi- cates variety of suggestions. But hav- ing shown some ignorance on the subject it might be best to remain silent. We will say, though that it is not bad idea that the Telegram brings forward in making fishermen include every six-inch trout they take in their legal limit for the day.

A Thought for Today
Huey's Speech a Flop

Irrespective of the right or wrong of General Hugh s. Johnson's voluminous ,smouthings last Monday evening, the much
 yaunted, we'll advertised, reply of Senator sHuey P. Long last night, was what In everyday plain language is generally
 known as a flop. Outside of an occasional
 invective against General Johnson, Post master James A. Farley, and the Presl. dent, and the New Dealers in general
 Huey took to the airways last evening
 chiefly because he had something to sell,
 his "Share-the-We Plan. A fish lmonger might have done as well, all the preamble would have been eliminated, ms
 sales talk limited to "fish, fine fish Tor ssaley'
 To the majority of people who must
 have had to stay up past their bedtime to hear Huey's belated address, the recep- stion must have been disappointing, not unlike unto the suave gentleman, who after working his prospective customer up to father on some trumped-up story or other turns out to be book agent Huey turned
 out last night to be just another fanatic
 economist with. plan to sell, ringing
 down the curtain on his act by all but
 passing through the audience, if it had } been humanly possible, with free copies s of his speech and plan. Later for slight ; pittance you probably could join the cult. 3 We are not going into any analysis of
 Senator Eong's "Share-the-W Wealth Plan'' here. The scheme has been written and rewritten many times before. It is highly !. idealistic, if not fantastic at best, and like . all similar schemes could never be made !. to function. That we think lets it out and should let Huey out with it. But as long as Huey is given the spotlight of public attention, he will continue to roam the length and breadth of the land crying, "fish, fine fish for saley' Let Huey alone ; and The will die natural death. Keep him out in front and he eventually may cause trouble. In the future it would be better to limit speeches and radio addresses to issues, not persons, for it's issues with which the country is mostly concerned.

1 In Theory, Yes; In Practice, No

1. We agree with all concerned in that Senate fight over the rehabilitation bill. We do not think that any of the several .. industrial cities of this state would have . been materially aided by it's passage. At .the same time we do not believe that the . purpose of the bill was as open to attack as our republican and socialist senators !. made it. They simply used it as a means to an end. That end is the furtherance of . their own parties at the expense of the : democratic. It is popular to slap the democratic administration at Washington right now for anything and everything. Even some democrats.do it.
 We can't see that Connecticut, even though fair amount of the total sum appropriated for this rehabilitation work would come into the state, would benefit very much. Taking 200 families off local and state relief to put them on sustaining
 farms would be but drop in the bucket in our state. And we doubt if 200 families
 could be found who would make such
 farms pay. Those who are now on Con-
 necticut farms are having hard enough
 time to get along without adding compe-
 tition. And we say this with a hearty
 respect for the rehabilitation bill. We be-
 lieve it can succeed in some states, but
 not in Connecticut.
 This bosh about states rights from the
 republican side of the Senate was merely
 an effort to capitalize an opportunity. We
 can't see that either republicans or social
 ists will gain public support for their
 stand on this bill. In the long run it
 would have cost the state itself nothing
 The actual relief it would have provided
 alone is debatable and yet the opposition chose to ignore this for the most part so that political capital might be made. Re- publicans can make all the charges they that serious effort is afoot to end condi- tions to which republicans gave involun- tary support by their short sight.

NEW WATERBURY LINK lBridgAport Telegraml

Various groups in Waterbury and suburbs are working for a new state highway to run from Middle bury southwestward to the junc- junction known as Southford, mid way between Southbury and Oxford, thence through Quaker farms to Stevenson dam. A part of this route is already built. It is state highway 135, not yet completed. From Southbury to Stevenson dam. there are existing state-aid roads which are hard surfaced The Middlebury Southford link would complete the system, though it would be necessary, at some fu- ture time, to widen and improve the Oxford state-aid roads, if any greet amount of traffic were to de- velop.
 The importance of the proposed new connection from the Water bury viewpoint is that it shortens the available route from Water bury to Stevenson dam, Monroe and Bridgeport. One of the advo- cates said that the complexion oi this link would make it possible to drive from Waterbury to Steven son dam in twenty minutes. an

A Man On A Barge Has A Look At Life
By BRUCE CAPTION

In "The Man on the Barge" Max Miller returns to the fray with another of his carefully written collections of comment on the od- dities and contradictions which he sees in the life about him.
 His books are never eas yto classify, and this one is even less easy than his earlier ones. Neither novel, autobiography, nor set of essays, it seems to be a little of all three.
 It reveals anew that quality which MT Miller's other books have displayed; passionless. objective withdrawal from the world, a. fondness for looking at things from the sidelines, where a man can take the time to sit down and either think his way through the incomprehersible rid dles propounded by human exist ence, or contemplate them until their very familiarity robs them of some of their terror.
 He writes, in this book, of a young man who runs one of those fishing barges which anchor near the California coastline. All through the season he stays on his barge. content to cast an apprais- ing eye on his daily lot of custom- CTS and to spend his evenings in quiet solitude.
 Nothing much happens. We get snatches of conversation, little anecdotes, the reconstruction of unimportant events-and that's all. The book moves as little as does the barge itself.
 Yet at the end we find we have made journey, after all, just as we made a very long Journey by stopping for a while at Walden with Thoreau. MT Miller's quiet sEeculations often take you a long way.
 Published by Dutton. the book Is priced at $2.50.

Hawaiian Air Base

Much as peaceful Americans dislike to expand the nations military establish ment, there is much to be said for the proposal of the general army staff to build a strong air base in Hawaii. The plan is said to contemplate the spending of $9O,- O00,000 for 800 new armored airplanes, with their necessary complement of flyers, hangars, general equipment and supplies.
 The United States would doubtless be planting such modern air force in the Philippines if we had not decided to let those islands go, as involving us too deeply in Asiatic dangers. In the Philippines. such move might have been regarded by Asiatic powers as offensive, calling for counter-moves. The Hawaiian Islands merely constitute our own first line of continental defense in the Pacific, suggest ing the military outposts we used to have on our western plains.
 The American public, while probably approving such action, might feel better about it if there were assurance of the national air defense being operated defi- nitely as third branch of our military system, controlled by practical air men instead of ground generals and water admirals.
