N OST of us law abiding citizens
Nu wouldn't like to meet a MUIR
W. derer, kidnaper or even a
hold-up man face to face
in fact we'd go out of our way to
avoid them.
However, Joseph Dayton, director of
the Bureau of Rehabilitation, who, in
his IL years of prison work, has known
10000 prisoners, prefers that type of
criminal to the beggar. bum or drunk
the rest of us pass nonchalantly on the
street every day of our lives.
ut takes courage to commit vio-
lent crime" Dayton explains, land the
man with such courage has the Stam-
ina to make real comeback But the
man who has just drifted into trouble
from laziness or apathy lacks the
moral fiber it takes to make good"
Brought here from the Prison Asso-
citation of New York seven years ago by
the Community Chest because of his
reputation as an emptier of jails, Mr..
Dayton and his two assistants have
befriended over 10000 prisoners in the
District and, until 1886 superintended
all parole work in Washington.
Taxpayers Watchdog.
The Bureau of Rehabilitation which
Dayton organized and heads is in a
way the taxpayers watchdog-finding
the weak spots in the prison system
and helping to correct them as well
as working with individual prisoners.
Supported entirely by contributions to
the Community Chest. it is Mr.. Aver
age Citizens private representative in
the world of courts and crime. Its
| information on crime conditions is
available to the public at all times and
speakers are furnished, free of charge,
| to civic groups interested in getting
| flrst-hand information.
Dayton demonstrated to the District
that parole does work efficiently if
supervised by trained personnel and
free from politics and his demonstra-
ton was largely responsible for the
setting up of a parole system here in
1886. However, since the staff of the
parole board is still inadequate, the
bureau has had to continue much of
its work with parollees. 1t still carries
on pre-parole investigations and inter-
views all persons under 81 years of age
before they appear in court.
Saves Boy From Prison.
These interviews with young people
often prevent injustice and save tax
payers the cost of unwise imprison-
ments Last week, for example, one
of the 20 persons arrested, and there
fore interviewed by Dayton or a men,
ber of his staff, was a boy of II who
had struck a cab driver with a brick
and was charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon" He had been
caught red handed, and in the usual
course of events would have been SEN
fenced to a term in the penitentiary.
Evening star., 1937-11-11

Dayton, however, discovered the fol-
lowing facts:
The boy had come to Washington to
join a married brother. The brother
had left the city and the boy had no
funds. He was trying to steal enough
money from the cab driver to return
to his home in Virginia. Corre-
spondence with his home town estab-
lished the fact that he was con-
scientious, earnest boy, upset because
he was unable to get work and help
his poverty-stricken parents.
When the probation officer was
given these facts he recommended that
the boy be put on parole. The court
did this and Dayton then arranged for
the boys transportation to his home
The boy, who in youthful despair had
done a foolish thing, was saved the
demoralizing record of a penitentiary
sentence and association there with
hardened criminals. Society was
saved the money his free room and
board at the penitentiary would have
cost.
Works Closely With Police.
Dayton works closely with both the
police and the probation departments
of the District. Since successful work
with parollees depends in large part
upon the knowledge of the delicate art
of building up morale-sn art that is
only learned after long years of train
ing and experience-Dayton has been
the unofficial tutor of many a new
parole officer. Police officers, due to
the influence of the Bureau of Re-
habilitation, are helping boys whose
ofenSes are not serious enough to
warrant arrest, to get in touch with
welfare and recreation agencies in
stead of simply scolding them and
letting them go. Dayton believes that
as this practice becomes more COM
mon crime will tend to decrease as
most youthful bad boys" respond just
as readily to constructive good times
as to destructive ones if given the op-
portunity.

Mad Holiday to
Play Tonight at
Capitol Theatre
Coast Footballers Are Seen
in Action, But Not
on Gridiron

Ten husky football heroes from
u. S. c. and u c. L. A. were given
their chance to show how much
summer training they've done when
they we're called on to carry the
Chinese dragon for sequences in
the mystery thriller, Mad Holiday"
showing at the Capitol theatre to-
night
The dragon, originally used in
CARLOS THE Painted VEIL" once
required nineteen huskies to carry
its entire length. AT that time it
weighed more than a ton but for
the current picture the middle Sec
ton has been removed. In the
scales, which had been re-burnish-
ed, were eyeholes SO that the car
riers could see their way. 1t is an
exact duplicate of the dragon car
ried through the streets on Chinese
New Years in San Francisco China
town.

"Drunlnlond' Film

Real Fog Aids STUDIO When
Plane Makes Land
ing at Field

Nature, which often plays queer
tricks ON Hollywood shooting sched-
ules, actually came to the aid of a
picture during the filming of Bull
dog Drummond Escapes" latest in
the popular series of detective stor-
les, which opens tonight at the Coli
scum Theatre.
The opening scenes of the new
film called for the landing of a
plane in fog-bound Croydon field
just outside of London. When the
shooting commenced an honest-to-
goodness fog settled down over the
lot and Director James Hogan or
dered everybody into action to take
advantage of it. The result is a
perfect fog shot which no artificial
means could produce.
