COLLINS CALLS
DISTRICT CHIEFS

Seeking to tie the Commission.
erS in more directly with the esti.
mates of District departments,
Representative Ross Collins of
Mississippi, chairman of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee, today
requested the commissioners to at
tend when his committee examines
budgetary requests of the agencies
under their direction.
Mr.. Collins wrote to the Com
miSSioners at a time when he was
expressing dissatisfaction with the
progress of expenditures under
the current appropriation act and
when he was insisting that operat-
ing expenditures in the coming
fiscal year will be held within the
provisions of the current appro.
priation law.
Representative Collins said that
if there is any increase in next
years appropriations over those
now in force it will be confined to
items for permanent improve
ments. He believes that operating
expenses already are high, if not
excessive, and does not intend to
let them continue to grow.

that horrible experience so that he might make
easier the lot of those who had committed no
great crime.
The splendid job that Warden Lawes has &C.
complished at Sing Sing makes me envious and
disheartened when look at our District insti-
tutions, where juvenile first offenders are SUBJ
jected to the penalties Of the socalled majesty
Of the law. How fortunate we would be if we
could have person with half the ability and
understanding Of Warden Lawes in charge Of
our Juvenile punishment institutions and, above
all, on our juvenile court bench!
Compassion in Sing Sing
Sing Sing has a terrifying appearance when
you first approach it, even as a visitor but once
inside its walls. you feel the warmth of human
compassion that touched you when you first
met Warden and Mrs. Lawes
Just few weeks ago Warden Lawes went
through one of the most crucifying periods that
can come to a man when Mrs. Lawes passed
away. His upright chin today is an unspoken
evidence of the courage Of the man.
And from the men whom life had passed by
came onS Of the most beautiful tributes ever
paid won2an in my day. 1t was an editorial
in the Sing Sing News. The words haunt me
sometimes, and think how happy all of us who
are endowed with more than others would feel
if we could appreciate the throb- of sincerity in
that editorial, which said:
ITO us SO unfortunate, whatever else our stay
in Sing Sing has meant whatever good or bad
in our innermoSt thoughts we revere and in our
crude and clumsy way, hold our foster mother
in the place hallowed from the inception of man
on this mundane sphere, for our mother"
The Washington times., 1937-11-30
Says Boake Carter

he is afraid to move boldly, in fortnight fashion,
in that direction.
That Is the attitude which so shocks the few
conservative friends he has left. It reveals to
them that even in this hour of critical state,
the personal Interpretation and the personal
equation dominate Mr.. Roosevelt's thinking.
While it is a matter Of the capital system Of the
nation-a matter of jobs savings and invest
ments-that is at stake, the Chief Executive is
primarily concerned with what damage may or
may not accrue to his political reputation.
Trying to Convince Business
A sincere and desperate effort is being made
by the handful of realistic and practical advisers
the President has left, to convince business lead
ers, bankers, industrialists and publishers that
Mr. Roosevelt is himself in earnest in his desires
to help now, rather than reform; that it is to
the interest Of all of these leaders to believe
this is so; that it is the capital systems last
chance in America to so understand.
But the second great tragedy is that after
being beaten round for the last five years, after
being told they were robbers, thieves and ex-
ploiters of their less fortunate fellow citizens,
after being bounded from pillar to post by one
man, backed by unlimited cash and almost limit.
less power, their answer today is: Maybe you're
right; but we simply don't believe you"
One mans mania for reform has been the
greatest contributing factor to producing the
present national sleighride downward. At last
he is genuinely worried and wishes to stop It,
But the horrifying part Of 1t is that no one in
business will believe him.
