year Shea will be in there pitching and
he'll be no soft spot at Columbia, where

Plan For Grants
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
Copyright. 1897. by International
News Service)

A $10,000,000 annual Federal
program designed to eliminate I'm"
rest and disorders in the nations
prisons is being studied by the
Department of Justice.
This was revealed today as lead.
ing penologists and crime proven
ton experts gathered in Philadel-
phia for the sixty-seventh annual
Congress Of the American Prison
Association.
GRANTS URGED
The plan under department con.
Sideration calls for an amendment
to the Social Security Act, by
which the Government could make
yearly grants to State prison adj
ministrations.
These funds would be used both
for educational programs and vo-
cational training projects. install.
lation Of new machines and work.
shops also is provided under the
plan. About $2,500.000 would be
allocated for education and ST.,
100000 for vocational training.
Only those States that permit
prison manufacturing would be al.
lowed to participate in the pro-
gram. The money would be pro-
vided from Federal social security
funds.
Widespread idlene6s in State
penitentiaries is one of the chief
causes Of recent prison riots and
disorders, James v. Bennett, d.
rector Of the Federal Bureau Of
Prisons, declared in an exclusive
interview.
I'm many State institutions
the prisoners are just milling
around doing nothing" Bennett
said. 'This is a grave problem
that must be solved quickly"
WILL HEAD STUDIES
Bennett will head studies Of
prison disturbances at the Philar
delphia meeting.
Discussing the recent riot at
Alcatraz. the Governments prison
fortress which houses the leading
erstwhile public enemies, Bennett
stated emphatically there would
be no relaxation of ironclad dis
cipline at this institution. He
also criticized improper parole
administration in many States.

PEGGY STOKES
RUES PRE-BRIDAL
NOTES IN COURT
Testimony Brings Curt
Perjury Warning

~IyNy "N0
NEWARK, N. j., Oct. o (I.N.S).
Double trouble today seemed to be
behind the complaints recited in
court by Peggy Stokes, shapely
dancing niece Of former Governor
Stokes Of New Jersey, before ad-
visory master John Matthews, who
is hearing testimony in suits for
divorce by both Peggy and her hus-
band.
The dancer, who appeared with
the Ballet Russo, told Of a honey
moon With her husbands first
wife and two daughters tagging
along, and declared her husband,
DR.. e. q. Gierding, West Orange
IN. - dentist, also boosted about
conquests Of other women.
INTIMACY REVEALED
He would tell her intimate de-
tails Of his affairs with other
women, she testified, and then
would insist on introducing the
women to her.
She testified without trouble for
nearly three hours, but encoun-
tered rough going when taken over
in cross-examination. A warning
against perjury was made by Mat
thews.
"Were you on intimate terms
with your husband before your
marriage?" Eugene Turton, coun.
sci for the husband, asked.
"No," she replied.
The two were married in July,
1881, and DR.. Gierding then
showed that it is not only the
woman who saves love letters
against possible need for them in
court.
Thirty-two such letters, written
by Mrs. Gierding before her mar
rage, were introduced in evidence
and Turton began to read from
them.
From one he read
"Why not let me meet you in
Newark every Friday instead Of
you coming to New York and we
could spend the night in Newark
and go to the shore as soon as
we arise?"
did you write that?" the at
torney asked.

ADMITS PHRASES
The counsel read from another,
which, after passionate phrases,
was signed your loving wife," It
was dated March 81, nearly three
months before the marriage.

eyes"
Then, from letter dated March
II came the reference of one
character in Lady Chatterly's
Lover" sending her regards" to
another.
Turton asked whether the char
acters and the manner of sending
their regards was not of especial
significance.
This the blushing, 29-year-old
wife denied even after the lawyer
pointed out that the phraseology
was practically the same IN the
overly.frank book.
II guess I said the wrong
things at first" she finally ad-
mitted. "No. I want to change
my testimony"
This brought the warning
against perjury from Matthews.

ration, charging her husband with

new FEATURES
IN STUDEBAKER

Marked by a number OF new
features in design and engineer
ing, the Studebaker cars for 1888
are on exhibit at the Auto Show.
They are presented in three lines
the President, the Commander
and the Six. Styles in each line In
clude coupe, club sedan, cruising
sedan and convertible sedan.
Bodies of the 1888 Studebakers
are approximately six inches wider
at point of maximum width than
their predecessors. AL bodies are
entirely new in design.
The Champion engines have
come in for general Improvements.
Among these are the moving Of
the water pump to the front Of
the block and the inlet to the oil
pump on a pivot, so that it always
takes oil from the top. The auto
matte chokes of all motors are
mounted directly on the carburetor
with no external moving parts,
thereby eliminating choke unkage
troubles.
The vacuum transmission con.
troll, optional on the President and
Commander models. is an I'M
portant new device.

SMART IDEA
FOR The OLDS

Oldsmobile again carries for
ward it's tradition of motor car
smartness with its presentation OF
two new cars for 1938-a six and
an eight-at the Auto Show.
OF unusual interest in both six
and eight are the new safety
interiors, which provide such
features as a new and modern
safety instrument unit and safety
dash; exceptionally wide seats,
with pillow-type upholstery; sott'
roll-type pad on the back OF the
front seat, providing extra cusn-
ioning to protect rear compart
ment passengers: Unisteel Fisher
body construction with seamless
steel turret tops.
Individuality is marked IN their
front-end treatments. A more mas
sive effect has been created Tor
the die-cast radiator grille OF the
six, which employs heavy horl-
zontal louvres. deeply recessed ana
plated in chrome.
Equally attractive but entirely
different in detail of design is the
radiator grille of the eight. A sin
gle die-cast unit, it employs pairs
of narrow chrome-plated horizontal
bars alternating with a single bar
of slightly greater width.
An important style development
in both cars is a new type OF con-
cealed hood louvre, which leaves
the long, tapering lines of the hood
entirely smooth, unbroken and al
most severe in their simplicity.
Most striking among the interior
improvements is the new safety
dash with a raised safety instru-
ment unit on which all gauges
are grouped directly in front OF
the driver.
The light switch, at the extreme
left of the instrument unit, is espe-
cially unique. 1t is designed in the
form of large dial which reveals
at a glance which beam is in use.

AUTO INDUSTRY
DUE TO CROW

The position of the independent
in the automobile industry will
be considerably strengthened dur
ing 1888, according to Tom Brad
ley, president, Hupp Motor Car
Corporation.
Mr.. Bradley believes that the
big increase in sales in the middle
price market which began during
1897 reflects an appreciation on
the part Of the buying public Of
the accomplishments Of the indie.
pendent manufacturers. He points
out that the majority Of independ'
ent manufacture cars are in the
middle-price field.
