Lack Of Advice for
Released Prisoners
Rehabilitation Work
Held 'Hompered,' with
Several Aides Needed

The lack of professional advice Is
sadly hampering" the rehabilita-
ton of prisoners discharged from
the District Reformatory at Lor-
ton, according to Claude o. Botkin,
newly-appointed superintendent at
Lorton.
Mr.. Botkin told directors of the
Bureau of Rehabilitation at their
monthly meeting yesterday that
there is great need at Lorton for q
psychologist, psychiatrist, an in.
dustrial adviser and fulltime chap
lains to give the prisoners individual
attention and advice. The mass
treatment Of prisoners, he said, has
resulted in tremendous expense to
the taxpayers"
Directors of the bureau, a Com
munity Chest agency, yesterday
elected the following officers for the
new year: Allen Pope. president; DR..
Russell j. Fields, Capt. Rhoda j.
Milliken Of the Women's Bureau,
and Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, vice
presidents; Bennett Mead, secre-
tary; DR. Carl D. Wells, treasurer.
and G. Rowland Shaw a director.
Joseph E. Dayton is managing
director of the bureau, which aids
families of men serving prison terms
and seeks to rehabilitate the pris-
oners after their discharge.

| Mr.. Roosevelt
Sees an Omen
In Guild Election

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference amid much laughter and
jesting today that Kenneth Craw-
ford, Washington correspondent, is
just the fellow he's been looking
for. because Mr.. Crawford recently
was elected president of the Amer
ican Newspaper Guild with the
help Of votes from Maine and Ver-
mont.
Another reporter present started
the discussion by advising the Pres
ident that Mr.. Crawford was ores
ent and that he had been elected
guild president by a huge vote after
other candidates had withdrawn.
That vote, Mr.. Roosevelt was told,
included some ballots from Maine
and Vermont, and the fact might be
politically prophetic. (Those States
were the only ones Mr.. Roosevelt
failed to carry in 1850
Thereupon Mr.. Roosevelt observed
that Mr.. Crawford is the fellow
he had been looking for.
The Chief Executive was re-
minded that Mrs. Roosevelt had
been mentioned for guild president
but that her name was Withdrawn.

that there had been little If any
change in Mr.. Borah's condition.
The crisis, it was said. probably will
be reached some time today.
Washington and the Nation were
shocked by the sudden realization
yesterday that the Borah of story
and tradition might be lying on his
death bed. An atmosphere of anx-
iety and gloom was apparent on
Capitol Hill, where little groups of
legislators collected to discuss Mr..
Borah's condition, or to recall the
famous legislative Tits he had en-
gagged in.
8 Senators Pay Tribute.
Among Senators who expressed
admiration for Mr.. Borah and grief
over his illness were White, Republi-
can, Of Maine; Connally, Democrat,
of Texas, and Pittman, Democrat,
Of Nevada.
Senator White said Mr.. Borah
has "the greatest voice demanding
the salvage Of the American consti-
tutional system"
Senator Connally said: HE is a
grand man. He has ability, integ-
rity and courage. What else is
there?"
Senator Pittman declared: "Borah
is one of the Senate's truly great
members"
A telegram from Gov. c. A. Bot
tolfsen of Idaho said: THE entire
State of Idaho joins me in praying
for your recovery"
Senator Capper of Kansas said
today:
Il think every man in the Senate
is hoping and praying his life may
be spared" Mr.. Capper commented
in departing from his main theme
during talk before the breakfast
of the International Reform Fed
Grafton here.
He said the critical illness Of zone
Of the greatest of Senators" was
causing his colleagues in the Upper
Chamber to pursue their tasks in
sadness today.
Manv PRAYERS Offered.
From Idaho came word that thou
sands praved for his recovery. Even
In the Democratic STRONGHOLD Of
South Carolina, a meetinp was called
to prav for the veteran Republican,
according to long-distance tele-
phone message. One of the callers
at the apartment was a retired SOL
dier. stranger to Mr.. Borah. who
said he wished to offer his blood for
TRANSMISSION, and another was q
little girl who had chatted with the
Senator during his strolls through
Rock Greek Park.
Mr.. Borah apparently was in the
best of health at the time he suf-
fered the stroke. He had been scru-
pulous about taking care of himself
since he collapsed in the summer Of
1888 from the heat and overwork
After that 1t had been his practice
to rest daily on a divan in his office.
Reporters sometimes came in to chat
with him as he lay on the divan
covered by a blanket.
Weather permitting, the Senator
usually went for an hour or so to q
park near the Senate to sun himself
on q bench or take a stroll.

What About St. Putrick's Duy?
1t Falls on Palm Sunday

orally staged by the wearers Of the
green on st. Patrick's.
Joseph E. Kerrigan, national
president of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, said In Lawrence, Mass,
that many inquiries had been re-
ceived about the day from all Sec
tions Of the Nation.
A churchman in the Capital told
newsmen that the coincidence Of
the dates would not affect the &C.
clesiastical commemoration Of st.
Patrick, but added it might have
considerable bearing on celebrations
by the laity..
April has been put forward in
some quarters as the day on which
the Irish should wear the traditional
green, smoke clay pipes and deco
rate their homes with the shamrock.
Another Capital source said that
. suggestion might be put forward
to dispense with banqueting this
year and observe the occasion
quietly On March IL.

BY the Associated Dress.
The years .939 and 1910 will be
known-if for nothing else-as the
time when something happened to
Thanksgiving and st. Patrick's Day.
Thanksgiving, which half the Ma
ton celebrated last year on One
Thursday and the other half OBJ
served the following week, will not
come up for debate for another 10
months, but st. Patrick's-ah, be-
gorra, that's something else again.
!, The situation is created by the
fact that March 17-celebrated as
the birthday Of the good saint
falls this year on Palm Sunday, q
holy and solemn day which, Of
course, takes precedence over St..
Patrick's Day.
Palm Sunday is the beginning Of

the various residential sections of
the city.
Certain work on naturalistic areas
has to be continued. the announce

practically complete"
For the present work on the va
rious areas will include grading, sub
surface drainage, laying out of play
fields, tennis courts and walks.
Planting, seeding and sodding will
come next, with shelters and COM
munity buildings coming along next
fall and thereafter.
"A large portion of the planting
and a number of structures will be
completed by the summer of 1941,
the announcement said.
Areas to Benefit.
Areas slated for development in
clude many sections of large parks
as well as smaller areas which have
been purchased in one way or an
other for the sole purpose of pro-
viding recreational space.
This will mean that marginal
areas of Rock Greek, Fort Kemble,
Glover Archbold, Fort Dupont and
other large park reservations will
receive development for much
needed recreational neighborhood
recreational use. -.
These areas, along with those in
tended solely for recreational use
are designated by the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission
as locations for active recreational
developments. Most of them at the
present time are in their native
State and have not even been
cleared.

completed subsurface and surface
