the League of Nations theory Of "war
partnership" Vandenberg is mem
ber Of the Senate Munitions and For
eign Relations Committees.
Despite the Supreme Courts decision
last week opening the way for broad
discretionary neutrality legislation,
vandenberg said the law should be
''as definite and as positive as pos
sible."
"It will not do to leave large neu-
trality decisions to the discretion Of
the President" he contended. "This
is no reflection on the President. It
is reflection on the simple fact that
the exercise Of discretion after a war
has started inevitably invites an un-
neutral Interpretation by any bellig-
erent which is curtailed or offended by
the decision"
The Senator's statement of his neu-
trality views added to the growing
volume of conflicting congressional
sentiment on the problem. The Roose-
welt administration is expected in some
Capitol Hill quarters to ask for dis
cretionary legislation.
Partly Agrees With President.
In his general attitude toward the
subject, however, Vandenberg was In
close agreement with some Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's expressed views.
Heretofore" he said. neutrality
has consisted chiefly of q demand that
our rights in profitable foreign trade
should not be impaired by these wars.
"The new conception subordinates
trade to peace and proposes so far as
possible to keep out of wars way. The
old conception subordinated peace to
trade.
"The new conception may be tough
on our cash registers. But 1t will be
far easier on our sons"
Would Transfer Risks.
Il prefer" he said, "a neutrality
which does not capitalize the calami-
ties Of others: which stops all loans
and credits and munitions to both
belligerents in q given struggle, and
which puts all other trade with bellig-
erents on cash and carry basis SO
that the risk is theirs and not ours. "
The Senator said he favored
strengthening the neutrality law In
respect to Americans travelling or
belligerent ships. The present law
provides that they must travel "at
their own risk"
Contending that q citizen cannot
separate himself from the implica-
tions Of his citizenship" Vandenbere
said, that Except for a reasonable
period Of evacuation, he should be kept
of the ships of belligerents by law"

DILLWYN, Va, December 28.-
Mayor Luther Gillian OF Dillwyn
said today that authorities were in
vestigating q theory that the lock-
up fire in which John e. Garrett, So
year-old colored man, was burned to
death early Christmas morning was
started by someone outside the jail.
1T Is our opinion that the lock-
up was set afire by some one who
simply wished to get rid of it and
who had no intention Of taking Gar
rett's life." the town head said.
I'VE have heard some rumors about
that, but 1t IS still very much Q matter
OF supposition. I have taken it up
with Commemorative Attorney c. w.
Wood and Coroner J. z. Haynesworth." /"
Father Of Nine.
Garrett, the father of nine children,
was placed in the small wooden lock-
up on Christmas eve by Town Sergt.
p. w. AmiSs, who said Garrett's
brother agreed it would be best to let
the man sleep OF intoxication. No
charges were placed against him.
Amiss then went home.
At 3 am. Christmas. John Pendle-
ton, who lived nearby, awakened to
flnd the jail In flames. Garrett,s
charred body was recovered later.
The mayor today cited the follow
ing facts to bolster his presumption
that some Christmas celebrant set fire
to the lookup:
There was no fire. or stove, in the
building; the floor was Of concrete; :;
the interior was clean as a PIN;
Amiss searched Garrett carefully for
matches and took all he thought the
prisoner had.
Death Held Accident.
The sergeant did leave q cigar In
the mans pockets and 1t has been
presumed that the drunken prisoner
tried to light this with match Amiss
overlooked. and thereby fired the
lookup.
Gillian, however, said Amiss doubted
If he missed" any matches In searching
Garrett.
The mayor said he could not say
what arrangements would be made to
care for the mans children, but
assumed that relatives would aid
them. DR.. Haynesworth ruled in his
coroner's verdict that Garrett died
accidentally.
The cremation alive" Of the Buck
ingham man and Of John Coates, the
latter in the Colonial Beach Jail some
weeks ago. have pointed public atten-
ton to the meeting Of the General As
sembly's Jail Survey Commission. to

I'VE won't be able to do anything
until the next session of the Assem-
bly," said Chairman Vivian L. Page
at Norfolk. But with the assistance
Of the experts who have been loaned

deplorable conditions"
DR.. Roy flanagan, who investi-
gated the fire in his capacity ~
Jail inspector for the State Welfare
Department, said the State has "abso-
lutely no Jurisdiction" over local lock-
ups.
"The only remedy for some Of the

Kentucky Warden Solves
IdIeness Problem With
Competitive Units.
BY the Associated Press.

FRANKFORT, KY, December 28-
Jim Hammond knocked on wood yes
terday as he watched his boys" snap
through smart military drill.
Hammond Is warden Of Kentucky's
State prison here. His "boys"-somc
of them actually old men-are the
1900 convicts to whom he Is boss.
Military training is the answer to
Hammond's success as head of Ken
tucky's largest penal institution.
When the former Kentucky American
Legion commander took charge of
the prison, less than a year ago. after
series Of major disturbances, he
soon found that enforced idleness was
one Of the biggest problems he had
to solve. How to solve it was a real
task.
Industry StilIed.
The law had practically stilled the
prison industries by preventing the
commercial use of prison-made goods
Only few of the inmates were kept
busy making equipment that could
be used by the State. The others just
looked about the prison grounds or
sat in groups in the crowded cell
houses.
An idle mind, recalled the warden,
Is the devils workshop. And there
were plenty Of idle minds and hands
in the prison. To make matters worse,
the 1900 prisoners, crowded into
quarters intended for only half that
number, had plenty Of opportunity to
exchange the fruits of their idle
minds. So much time did the boys"
have to think things cut, that IN the
few weeks before Hammond took
charge at the request of Gov. Chard-
Ter. two separate breaks" and one
murder we're thought out within the
prison walls.
Horse Play Problem Solved.
Hammond started drilling the pris-
oners at intervals. At first the boys"
thought 1t so much horse play. Then
Hammond put it on q competitive
basis, and squads of prisoners Wed
for the distinction of being the best
drilled in the prison. Every day
they lined up in squads, with their
leaders chosen on q merit basis, and
stepped through their PAGES while the
boss looked proudly on.
Now it's part of the prison rou-
tine. The prison band furnishes mill
tary music and the boys" stand
as rigidly at attention when the flag
Is raised each day as any trained

REPORT SEES END
OF BUSINESS LOSS
Com merce Report Cites
Closing of Gap in Aggre-
gate Figure.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Calling the development one of par
amount significance" the Commerce
Department said today that business
and industry in the aggregate prob
ably would be "out of the red" this
year for the first time since 1929.
Estimating a national income of al
least $50, 600, 900. 900 this year. the de-
partment said in its annual report
that it appears probable" that in.
come produced might equal income
paid out.
Whether industry as q whole oper-
ates at a profit or q loss is determined
by the relationship between national
income produced and national income
paid out. When the latter exceeds the
former, it means the total expendi-
lures Of industry are more than the
aggregate value Of its products.
Narrowing Since 1882.
At $53, ,5s7, 900 900 last year, national
income paid out exceeded income pro-
duced by $62s. 900, 900, causing indus
try to borrow or draw on reserves to
make up this sum.
The gap between the two types OF
income opened in 1880 and reached
almost $4,000, ,000, 900 in 1882, but has
been narrowing since.
Reviewing economic conditions dur
ing the fiscal year ended July /, the
report cited marked improvement. ~
1t added:
Economic recovery broadened this
year with acceleration of activity ir
the durable goods industries and in
construction lines, the further rise
in farm income, the increase in the
number of persons employed and the
expansion of industrial pay rolls.
The upward recovery was espe.
cially noteworthy in the late months
Of the fiscal year."
JobIess Census Intentioned.
Asserting an unemployment censu,

Of the jobless. the department said
the desirability Of decreasing Fedora
expenditures to relieve unemployment
and at the same time protecting those
who would be without work if Govern
ment assistance were withdrawn L
recognized by all who are interested
in this subject"
The report described nine new trade
agreements concluded during the last
fiscal year as "a major step toward
the recovery Of our foreign trade or
q definite and equitable basis"
The department said American bust.

portance Of the trade agreements pro.
