ADMINISTRATION HIT
No Phase of Government More
Affected, Cummings Tells
Conference.

Attorney General Cummings told
the National Conference on Release
Procedures yesterday no phase of
government has been more affected by
politics" than the adminiStra ton of
parole, probation and similar methods
of adjusting criminal sentences.
Cummings said he felt perfectly
safe" in saying there has been mo
more bitter controversy concerning any
phase of government than the admin
istration of these procedures"
The conference, which brought to-
gether a group of State and Federal
authorities on penal institutions and
sentences for review of results to date
of a Nationwide survey, convened at
the Department of Justice to plan
future activities.
Cummings told the conferees that
release administrations has been par
ticularly noticeable during election
year, and he said he regarded as "al-
most miraculous" the success which
has been achieved by the survey staff.
Justin Miller, Sanford Bates and
other Justice Department officials plan
to address the conference.
Attending the conference are two
Washingtonians not connected with
the Department of Justice-W. Ed
wards Deming and Howard Gill. The
latter represents the Association of
States.
