Denouncing Georgia Prison System,
Governor Calls for Reform
HUMAN RIGHTS AND NEEDS
DECLARED ABOVE BUDGETS

reforms are urgent, and the only law
full manner in which they can be af-
fected at once was to call the legisla-
tors to convene.
Human rights and human
needs are above budgets. In the
past we have denied prisoners the
treatment any man must have.
We have Gagged them like wild
animals. We have let them thirst
and hunger. We have chained
them. We have forged iron bands
upon their legs.
"We have denied them the solace of
religion, and when l think of boys
huddled with professional criminals,
obtaining no education and no relig-
ious instructions, l am disgusted

Atlanta (ILNS) S).-Georgia's archaic
prison system, notorious throughout
the nation and often denounced by
labor and other organizations, is to
be reformed, if Governor Ellis Arnall
has his way.
Addressing special session of the
Legislature, which he called to abol-
ish the Board of Prisons and set up
Department of Corrections under one
man control, Governor Arnall made a
scathing attack on the states treat
ment of prisoners.
The governor said he recognized
that there would be few professional
politicians who would seek to make
capital out of his summoning of the
Assembly into extraordinary session.
''They will assert" he said, "that
the cost of this session is needless
expense. But in my judgment these

ARMY TELLS PLANS
TO LABOR LEADERS
Confidential Military Data Dis
closed To Emphasize Need
For More Materiel

Washington, D. CAS- Americas
armed forces were crashing through
to new victories in Italy and the Pa
cific, representatives of the nations
soldiers of production were given
first-hand picture of the military sit
uation by Under Secretary of War
Robert P. Patterson.
At a two-day conference in the
Pentagon Building, Secretary Patter-
son, General George G. Marshall,
Chief of Staff, and other high-rank-
ing Army leaders conveyed to labor
and industry leaders confidential re-
port on the progress of the war and
the major equipment needs that face
the armed forces.
The Army leaders emphasized that
labor and industry are "the Army's
partners on the production front"
AFL President William Green and
the heads of many AFL international
unions participated in the conference
along with CIO representatives and
business spokesmen.
Gas our troops begin large-scale
operations on the continent of Europe,
we are calling together the represent
atives of those on whom we depend
for the instruments of war so that
they may know precisely the military
job that lies ahead" Mr.. Patterson
said.
"a conference of this type, in which
our military General Staff reports to
cross-section of our industrial Cen
eral Staff on the war situation, the
strategy we are counting on for vic
tory and the probable cost in men and
materiel, is part of the way democracy
fights war. We are confident that
the results will be of the utmost
benefit to the effective prosecution of
the war"
After Patterson stated the confer
ence's aims, General Marshall out
lined the status of military operations
in all combat zones. Major General
George V. Strong, Chief of the Mill
tary Intelligence Service, gave a con-
fdential appraisal of the military and
economic strength of the Axis.
From Lieut.. Gen. Joseph T. Nc
Marcy, Deputy Chief of Staff, the con-
ference heard an explanation of
United Nations strategy, the time and
equipment required to prepare an op-
Grafton and the relative part which air
and ground forces have to play. Eye
witness accounts were presented of
bombing raids over Germany, amphib-
ious landings in Sicily and the setting
up of overseas bases.
Army Service Forces and Air
Forces generals highlighted the de-
gree to which military plans must be
limited by production schedules and
the manner in which battle expert
ence forces alterations in design and
requirements for specific weapons.
Lieut.. Gen. William S. Knudsen,
Army Director of Production, reported
on what our equipment is doing in
the field, based on his observations
during his recent 30,000-mile trip to
the South Pacific with Under Secre-
tary Patterson. The job still to be
done on the home front was discussed
