Recommended for
State De|iquents

SACRAMENTO, ,Jen. 1.-tU.PD-
DR.. F.. o. Butler, acting director of
institutions. today made a final
report to Gov. Culbert l.. Olson in
Which he recommended le-5sla-
| ton to create new state institu-
ton for defective and psychopathic
delinquent at an estimated cost of
$4.2OO,O0O.
DR.. Butler specified no location
for the institution, but said the
money would cover purchase of a.
thousand acres of land and con-
struction capable of housing 100
inmates. Only the land would be
purchased at this time, with an al
lotment of $1,750,O0o. and enough
construction for housing $50 in
mates. Other funds would be ear
marked for postwar construction.
DR.. Butler cited that defective
and psychopathic delinquents often
convicted of serious crimes must
now be housed at state homes for
ordinary meptal detectives He
said the recent escape of 81 in
mates of Pacific Colony home for
the feebleminded at Spadra was ell
gineered by such delinquents.
The department has outlined a
10-year postwar building program
totaling $60,000000, with a recon-
nendation the l943 legislature car
mark at least $1I,660,702 for i'm

the situation as an example OF a
simplification of procedure he
hopes will be put into effect.
He said a committee on legisla-

that members of the legislature, III
asking the counsel bureau to p>-
pare bills, will be requested to allow
the bureau to inform other men,
bers who have plans for similar leg
iSlation. Each members plans fol-
bills have been kept secret in the
past by the bureau.
Thus, he said, several member;
having similar plans could collab-
crate on one bill containing thu
ideas of each, rather than each in
PRODUCING a separate bill. This
would simplify and speed up pro-
cedure in the two houses, saw
thousands of dollars, and at thu
same time eliminate unnecessary
work by the counsel bureau.

In proclaiming allied air super

The review says that this year

should open the way to complete
and final victory.

IF we had a sufficient scale of
attack, we could get Germany to
the point where our forces could

battles of Ypres in 1917.
THREE-WAY PATTERN
The pattern suggested for vic
tory is three-fold; close CORPORA
ton of the air arm with the land
and naval forces; inceSsant pound
ing of the German industry by
day and night aiding Russian to
remain on the offensive in the east.

production. According to the air
ministry, Britain alone is stronger
in the air than Germany and Italy

to account the United States, which
not only has powerful air force
in the European and African thea
tiers, but is producing more planes
than the axis powers combined.

clared that it was only a sample
of what Germany will receive city
by city from now on"
Bombings on the scale of tho
1000 plane raid ON Cologne last
May have been the exception rath-
err than the rule. The present prize
of the raids most probably will be
stepped up, however, as the power
of the Raj and the USAAF in
creaSeS. The German Luftwaffe
meanwhile is deteriorating.
Allied inability to pound Ger
many even more severely in recent
months is explained b. the grow
ing commitments of the air force
such as the action in Africa.
NAILS LOSE STRENGTH
Nevertheless, Germans power tc
make war has been steadily sapped.
Hundreds of acres of her main in
dustrial district have been destroy
ed or put out of production. The
morale of her workers has been
weakened by the bombings and the
demands of the Russian campaign.

many is not over 60 per cent of the
pre-War figure.
The figures tell the story. F.
tory areas destroyed or damaged N
Cologne covered 600 acres. The
score for other main industrial
citieis of the % attacked runs
from more than 100 to more than
300 acres.
The effect is to seriously weaken
Germany when she needs more
strength. not less. to meet the al
lied attack which is in preparation
and has started its preliminary
stage in Africa. Meanwhile, Rus
sian alone is about as much as
Hitler can handle.
