SURVEY to Determine
Wars Effect on Crime
Weak WilIed Woman Believed
Greoter Offenders Than PoroIees

LANSING, Aug. % -tP) -
The war has resulted in few vio-
lations by paroled convicts. but
is upsetting to weak-willed
women and youths, Carrot
Heyns, State Corrections direc-
tor, asserted today.
Heyns said he planned a sur
vey at the State Prison of South
ern Michigan to determine the
effect of the war on crime
through study of the types of
persons newly sentenced to pris-
on.
However. he said, from the
experience OF England and some
strong indications already not
ed in this country. eve are pref
ty sure what is will show in
general"
The war demonstrates again
the close relationship between
economic conditions and social
behavior" Heyns assert d.
Men who are on parole aren I
being sent back for parole vio-
lations because jobs are plenti-
full and they are able to make
a secure place for themselves in
society"
AT the same time, he said, ju-
venile delinquency apparently is
on the increase and more wom-
en- are being sent to prison.
Most adult males. Heyns said,

nowadays are either gainfully
employed or in the Army and
thus many more are keeping out
of trouble as a general thing.
Heyns said prison population
figures disclosed little change in
the number of males in the
States penal institutions, there
being 7,472 confined Aug
compared with 7,488 in the
same period year ago.
However, he said, the female
prison population numbers 225,
compared with 100 at the same
time last year. The figures
showed the number of women
behind bars began to climb last
December, the month war was
declared.

"Your Mother" and in communi- cation dated October 30 wrote that she was not too confident that the America First Committee was doing the work it should.
 "I may be forced to form a group of my own," Miss Ingalls, wrote, adding that "the foregoing should reach your mother without delay for I value her opinion"
 Not Enough Money
 In one letter Miss Ingalls ex- pressed discontent with the money allowance she was receiving from the American First committee. Miss Kraus explained to the jury that "she was trying to get on the payroll"
 Miss Kraus, a plump splnster who occasionally appeared i'll at ease in her role of star witness, testified that Miss Ingalls came to Washington on Nov. 1 and two days later conferred with Won Gienanth before returning to New York.
 On Nov the flyer wrote Miss Kraus that the American First committee had reduced her allow ance.
 If I get low on cash" the letter continued, T may send you an sos to help me out let your mother see this letter"
 Miss Ingalls, letters were lard ed with such remarks as my af- fectionate remembranceS to your mother" and humber seven is without parallel"
 In one of Miss Kraus' replies to Miss Ingalls, she attempted to cheer up the flyer and exhorted her to find consolation in the good book" a reference to "Mein Kampf"
 Some Eavesdropping
 Another time Miss Kraus re ported that someone had been eavesdropping at her apartment door and that she had reported it to the baron's housekeeper.
 Her opinion" the letter said, Twas thGt the attempt was crude and hardly the work of a high class department"
 The allE1on apparently was to the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion which, testimony at the trial has revealed, was keeping the baron, Miss Kraus and Miss h. gals under surveillance at the time.
 In one report Miss Ingalls thanked mother" for the tip on sending religion" Miss Kraus had testified that the baron had pro- posed that Miss Ingalls include in one of her speeches the line, Roosevelt is sending religion to Russia as part of the lend-lease aid.'

 Australian Man Power Canberra, Australia, Feb. 11.-UP) War Minister F. M. Forde, an- nouncing a new mobilization of man power for Australia's defense, said today the war position had become so serious that everything must be subord.nated to the safety of the nation"
 Forde said additional men would be called for full-time army duty because of the critical state of the Pacific situation. A number of volun- teer defense companies, he revealed, would be trained in guerilla war fare.
 The additional mobilization, or dered by the war cabinet last night, will involve single men between the ages of 35 and 45 and married men between IS and 35. Forde said these groups were largely untouched" by previous conscriptions.
 It also was decided, he said, to in- crease militia forces to a substan- tially higher level than was ordered immediately after Japan's war entry.
 Forde admitted the new demands would entail inconvenience, per- sonal sacrifice and dislocation of in- dustry."
 Arrangements already have been made, he announced, to provide equipment and weapons immediately to members of the volunteer defense corps stationed along the most vul- nerable parts of the North Queens land coast.
 The general tightening of war re- strictions was reflected in an official ruling today that persons buying single bottles of abeer met take them unwarpped in view of regula- tions forbidding goods being wrapped in paper.

 London, Feb. 11.-(UP)- British military commentator said today there was no confirmation that the Japanese had crossed the Salween river lin force" and captured Mar taban on the Burma front.
 According to all our information, only a small Japanese force crossed the Salween and there probably has been considerable fighting back and forth across the river between pa- trols," he said.
 A Daily Mail Rangoon dispatch said that it was believed British forces had withdrawn from Marta ban, which is on the west side of the Salween Estuary opposite Moulmein.
