Prison Bureau Aide
Sees Rehabilitation
As AsCommunity Duty
Gill Cites Inudequoey
Of D. {. System, With
Only Four Parole Officers

Rehabilitation Of prisoners is be.
yong the scope of prisons and Is
the responsibility of the communi-
ties to which the offenders return,
Howard B. Gill, technical assistant
to the director of the Bureau of
Prisons, told members of the Bu-
reau Of Rehabilitation yesterday.
To meet this situation, he said,
a community should begin to deal
with the problem of the released
prisoner and his family as soon
as possible after he is Jailed, and
to open every possible opportunity
to him, especially industrial and
welfare.
A slowly developing parole or
ganization is beginning to meet
this problem, he said. To illustrate
its present inadequacy, however.
Mr.. Gill cited the situation in the
District of Columbia, where. with
approximately 10000 prisoners be-.
ing discharged last year, there were
only four parole officers, and these
officers, he pointed out, supervised
the rehabilitation Of only 162 re-
leased offenders.
Need Chance.
Surveys show prisons have be-
come only an adjunct of the re-
habilitative process" Mr.. Gill de-
clared.
Men may gain new insights, new
attitudes and new skills in prison,
but until they can apply those
newly acquired characteristics under
normal conditions in normal So
ciety, they cannot be rehabilitated
in any real sense of the word"
he said.
About the only functions that
even the best of prisons can ordinar-
lily perform, Mr.. Gill said. is to
segregate the criminal during the
period of his sentence, and dur
ing this period observe and diagnose
the criminal for the enlightenment
Of all concerned, and help prepare
the offender against the day of
his return.
Mr.. Gill was introduced by G.
Rowland Shaw. president of the
bureau of rehabilitation. at
luncheon at the Y. w. c. A.
Huff Cites improvements.
Reviewing the improving IA
cilities ard equipment at District
penal institutions, Ray L. Huff, su-
perintendent, pointed out that such
improvements are necessary in or
der to operate a prison so that an
offender may leave a better per-
son than he came in. The institu-
tions now have. for the first time,
he said, a skilled person for re-
habilitative work, and it is hoped
that more may be added.
Mr.. Huff paid tribute to the ad-
ministration of the District Jail
by Thomas M. Rives. particularly
under the difficulties imposed dur
ing new construction
Joseph z. Dayton, director of the
bureau, also spoke briefly. review
ing the work of the organization

VIRGINIANS
SEEK EQUAL
SALARIES in
WHOLE STATE

RICHMOND, va. - Plans for
carrying forward the fight to
equalize the salaries Of Negro
and white public school teachers
IN every one Of the counties in
Virginia will be worked out to-
day at conference called by at
torneys of the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement Of
Colored People, it was announc-
ed today by Thurgood Marshall,
special counsel for the associa-
tion.
Teacher representatives from
each county will attend the con-
ference, Mr.. Marshall said,
and plan the next steps they and
tn eNAACP attorneys will take to
enforce the United State Circuit
Court of Appeals Decision IN the
Melvin @. Aston case,
In November, 1899, NAACP
attorneys brought an action
against the Norfolk, Virginia,
school board in behalf of Mr..
Aston, Il school principal and the
Negro teachers Of that city, to
force the board to pay the plin-
cipal salary equal to that Of a
white teacher doing The same
type of work. Last June the
United States Circuit Court Of |
Appeals reversed lover court
uling, and established the prin-
eiple that discrimination in the
payment of teachers salaries +
sed solely on the eround Of I
race o. color, is unconstitutional
The United States Slffenle Court
allowed shis decision TO stand, +
when it refused to review the
case in a ruling handel down
October q.
Last week the teachers agreed
0 accept a plan put forwarl by,
the City attorney Of Norfolk, L
which equalizes their salaries /
with those Of white teachers by |
September, 1912, provided con-
ditions outlined by NAACP at
torneys are agreed upon. The
schoolboard's offer include the 81
of S129. 900 between Il
now and the 1912 date.

I've got to get away, Di. Give me
some money. All you can spare. I've
got a car back of the hotel. I'll go
away for a few days until this blows
over"
The siren was close, coming closer
growing louder. Its wall was sin
lister.
Diane turned and ran into the
bedroom. When she returned with

Call it fate or luck; at any rate
it was life. Juan and she-the
Dancing Cascodens-had just lost
their job at a cheap night club. 1t
had been in Washington, and they
were stranded. The private party,
given by the socialite Bordens, had
paid them $50 More it had given
the Casodens their first real break.
Among the guests. society people,
diplomats, military attaches, had
been Shane Murdock, who had liked
the Cascodens' dancing.
Now, four weeks later. Diane could
look back and laugh at tough breaks
and hard luck. The Dancing Cas-
codens were made; the team was
popular they were stars.
And it did not matter that Shane

the money Juan seized 1t. The siren
sounded right outside the hotel now.
1t abruptly died away. The police
had arrived at the hotel.
Juan ran to the door. Diane fol-
lowed, gripped his arm. Juan,
maybe you should give yourself up.
1t might be easiest"
mo, you don't understand. Look,
Di-get in touch with Shane Muir
dock. Tell him to pull some strings.
He can"
He opened the door and looked
cautiously into the hall. There was
no one in sight. Diane said, Juan,
where is Ramon? Was he with
you?"
Il don't know where he is" Juan
slipped into the hall. HE couldn't
help, anyway. You see Shane" And
then he was gone.

seemed fantastic. San Luis was such
a peaceful, sleepy place, and now
suddenly it was full of turmoil, in
trigue.
She heard footsteps in the hall
way, then low gruff voices. The po-
lice, at the door to Juan's suite. She
walked across the darkened room
and lifted the telephone.
Shane Murdock's voice was sleepy
Hello, Murdock speaking"
Shane! This is Diane Cascoden.
Forgive me for disturbing you, but
Juan's in trouble. He told me to
phone you"
I'm trouble? What sort of
trouble?"
II don't know! The police are at
his suite now
rs Juan there? No q. Good. If
the police question you, tell them

Diane. I'll see you in the morning

you. But beware Of him! He's
blackguard"
1t had been amusing, had seemed
utter nonsense But Diane hadn't
vet met Shane Murdock, who was
tall and blond. And he did influ-
ence her and she did go on an ocean
voyage But that came the follow
ing day. That night all that mat
tered was her falling, almost, in
love with John Meade.
John didn't speak about himself,
and it was not unit he saw her to
her rooming house that she learned
he was engaged to Patricia Borden.
And then Diane understood her

Whale Spins Boot,
Gives Fishers Scare

AS three men fished from their
small boat a mile off Mar del Plata,
Argentina, early in the morning, a
whale suddenly rose, lifted the craft
on its back, spun it around, then
disappeared. The fishermen fever
ishly baled out the boat and saved
it from sinking. When they reached
the shore they found a piece Of
whaleskin hanging on the keel.
