Keep Them Busy

Every so often there comes investigation by
states into the prison labor working plan and they nd
unfortunately for those inside the big house. that there
is not enough work to keep the hands busy. Laws
have been made to restrict certain labor in prisons
outside industry Since prison labor so cheap it would
mean that the outside market would be harmed for
the who has abded by the law and remained Free
Prisoners should have to help the taxpayer maintain
them They have duty to this world which is cloth
ing feeding and sheltering them Prisoners should not
on the outside when they discharged. State nst-
buttons have tried to keep the prisoners busy with goods
needed for state Institutions but this is not enough
work.
Now that the defense industry is calling for skilled
labor and such labor is hard to find to fill the BILL there
might be to developing skilled labor within
prison walls. Could national defense problem tie
up with our national prison problem and way be found
to assist both?

Legislation Proposes
Increased Temporary
Rank for Naval Officers
Reserve Personnel
Also Included in
Coneress-Approved Bill

Both the Naval Reserve and the
regular Navy commissioned person
mel will benefit materially from
legislation which has passed both
houses of Congress and is ready
for the Presidents signature, which
grants authority for the promotion
of these officers, as we'll as the
Marine Corps, regular and reserve
to temporary ranks. But the pro-
motions must be in their own line,
as the measure specifically pro-
hibits the temporary promotion of
Reserve personnel of either the
Marine Corps or the Navy to tenn
porary rank in the regular estab-
lishment.
Efforts to restrict temporary pro-
motions in the Staff Corps of the
Navy, which was carried in the
House bill. were stricken out. The
clause would have precluded any
temporary promotions in these
corps until all of the permanent
officers in each grade would have
been filled. In other words, it was
explained that if there were va
cancies in any of the grades it
would not have been possible to
promote officers temporarily to
higher grades. regardless of the
duties which they were performing
Increased responsibilities will be
provided for many naval and re-
serve officers during the period of
the present emergency. Without
the authority contained in the leg
islation officers assigned to these
duties would have had to remain
in their permanent rank until the
usual methods of promotion, such as
by selection board, was carried out.
With the war emergency and Off
GERS being trained for the work of
manning the great number of ships
of all classes which will be put in
commission, without the legislation
the Navy would very likely find it
self with a great number of lower
ranking officers filling billets which
usually carried much higher rank
in ordinary circumstances.
The Navy is being faced with the
problem of providing high enough
rank to meet all of the exigencies
of the service in connection with
the emergency. AS a matter of
fact the great expansion of the
naval operations to the island bases
leased from Great Britain has
brought up this condition, and Of
ficers of the American Navy are
not able to meet the officers of
other services on an equal rank
basis. In an attempt to settle this
problem another piece of hgisla-
tion has just passed Congress which
will provide nine additional vice
admirals for the naval service.
These will be in addition to the
three which were authorized under
the legislation of 1917
The appointment of the new vice
admirals when the bill is finally
signed by the President, who has
already approved its introduction,
it was said, will be left to the dis
cretion of the Chief Executive.
