Penal Institutions
Head Explains Loss
OF Prisoner Propert,

Sharp criticism by Commissioner
Guy Mason over the handling of
personal property of inmates of the
District Jail was met yesterday with
a statement from Howard Gill, gen.
eral superintendent of penal insti-
tutions, that a new system of TAX
ing care of property had been in
stituted in 1943 and proved success
full.
The controversy arose when the
Commissioners On Thursday agreed
to the suggestion of Acting Corpora
ton Counsel Vernon l.. West that
the city pay $3.50 to a man who
claimed he never had been given
back property taken at the time
he was admitted to jail in 1941.
After spending three years at St.
Elizabeth's Hospital, the man has
been released.
Mr.. Gill said failure to return
the property had been attributed
to the weakness of the system in
effect in 1941, when the property
was handled by five or six officers.
The superintendent recalled to Mr..
Mason that in November, 1943, a
chief clerk was appointed and, that
at his suggestion, a single guard
was placed under bond to handle
property of prisoners.
In addition, Mr. Gill said the
Commissioners last year had ap-
proved the appointment of a book
keeper to replace the guard and
that the 1947 budget requests seeks
an assistant disbursing officer to
handle property and financial af-
fairs of the jail.
The present system whereby
these valuables are being handled
has been approved by the auditor"
Mr.. Gill said, adding that there
has been no loss since the installa-
ton of the new system

Woman Seeks Return of Art
StoIenby Goering Worth Million
Dutch Widow Here
Hopes to Recover
Valuable Collection

Mrs. Desi Halban- Goudstikker
widow of Dutch art dealer. is in
Washington today hoping to recover
an art collection valued at more than
81 900 900 which was appropriated by
Hermann Goering when the Nazis
invaded Holland. The collection was
unearthed by the Allies in Germany
Mrs. Halban- Goudstikker called
at the Netherlands Embassy and
the State Department and salts
fed herself the authorities have in
mind the return of her Goering-
f1lched property.
She is not the usual elderly and
sedate owner of large art coliec-
ton. She is youthful, slender, with
the chic of her native Vienna, and
with its gayety. save when she
touched on the tragic story of her
fight from Holland. She told that
story in an interview at the May
flower Hotel
Husband Killed on Ship.
She and her husband, Jacques
Goudstikker. and their small son
lived in an 18th century house near
Amsterdam. When the Germans
invaded Holland the Goudstikkers
fed, and boarded ship for England.
MY husband fell into an un-
covered hold on the boat and was
killed" she said. TT was just the
day before our arrival In England"
And she added quitely: I'VE had
been married two and half years
He was the greatest art dealer in
Europe, and his collection was world
known. The main Office was in
There was the house
in which we lived and the 18th
century castle of Nijenrode, near
Utrecht, which my husband owned
And there were other places"
Goering paid 2,50O00O guilders for
the art collection, she said. To give
the theft a veneer of legality he
turned that much over to some one
like an absentee's property custo-
dian, she continued.
And, of course" she said, "the
Germans then borrowed back most
of the money"
Pictures Found by U. S. Troops.
Now the pictures and other articles
have been found by American troops
in Goering's villa near Berchtes-
gaden, and in an underground store
room

Senate War Probers
To Map Master Plan
For Preparedness
E1 the Associated Prsss

/ ES the Associated Press.
A Senate committee intends to
blueprint the know-l1ow of war pre-
! paredness.
| Chairman Mead of the War In
vestigating Committee said today
that before his committee disbands
1t will lay down master plan for
getting this country's fighting ma
chinery into action quickly.
I'VE hope there will be no more
var" he said. I'VE have to put
trust and confidence in the United
| Nations Organization. But we must
never again be without the resources
and materials necessary for our own
security"
| That, he added, is more important
than any amount of military train
ing for young men.
Report to Show Obstacles.
Senator Mead said the committee
intends to show In its report where
the bottlenecks developed in war
production. 1t plans to point to
unanticipated shortages and bugs
that cropped up in building the
worlds best equipped military ma
chine.
The moral ought to be plain, he
said. 1t is: Get ready in advance
to meet these problems next time
IN case there is a next time.
The committee chairman said all
OF this would take economic, as
wells as military planning.
We ought never to have to build
another Alaskan highway, inter-
American highway or Canol project
at tremendous expense in The mid
die OF a war" he declared. Canol
was an oil refinery project in
Canada.
Year Is Up June 30.
The War Investigating Committee
has enough money to keep operat-
ing until the fiscal year ends next
June 30. Chairman Mead said 1t
Will be busy in the meantime.
1t plans to keep a watchful eye
on rehabilitation, reconversion and
surplus property disposal. 1t isn't
finished yet with inquiries about
lease-lend.
But most of all, Senator Mead
said. the committee wants to be
sure Uncle Sam gets bases and
commercial rights abroad in return
for some of the war outlays made.

said. She hopes for the restoration
of the art collection. She is not
surprised that Goering took it.

CAN'T BOAST OF RECORD
OF THIS KIND

Annually, this is the season of casting
up records and to do bit of boasting,
and quite properly-it is an old Ameri-
can custom. Success and achievement
are entitled to cheers, even by those dir
ectly concerned. Similarly it is mete that
the nation, states and municipalities
count up all of that which is good and
in some bugle-blowing.
For instance jubilee of great magnf-
tude would be in order anytime if better
government were accomplished on less
taxes. And so on down the line to in
dividual accomplishments.
We do not believe we are off-key when
we suggest that it is right time to indulge
in bit of reverse bugling. Perhaps if
this line of attack is followed year
hence Californians may be able to boast
truly.
The record in mind is that of traffic
deaths in the state, and traced on down
to counties and municipalities. 1t is
shameful one all the way. Completed fig
ures for the twelve months just ended
are not available, but even if they should
be a bracket lower than the year before,
the margin will be too slight to call for
cheers. Reductions in wholesale killings
in this catalog should be by huge per
centages, not Just mere reductions.
Staring Californians in the face are
the records of three recent holiday week
ends. The Golden state led the entire
nation in the number of violent deaths
at Thanksgiving time, Christmas, and
now New Years. 1t is true that the tre-
mendous increases in populations in the
several large industrial centers can be
taken into account, but not as an excuse
or an alibi. Not few traffic deaths oc-
Cured out on highways distant from the
congested centers, and it is pertinent to
note that highway travel is a mere trifle
to what it was before gasoline and tire
restrictions.
Nor can the major blame be fixed on
drivers, ignorant of traffic rules in the
state-the newcomers. Analysis of the
accident reports shows too many long
time residents involved. Deaths have
been in high priced cars and in some
which should not be in use.
And so it resolves itself into fair
charge of plain carelessness and disre-
gard for other peoples safety. Pedes-
trians killed take large share of the
victims count and here, perhaps, blame
may be divided half and half. However,
many of the dead are children, and the
guilty driver sstands indicted of lack of
due caution.
Reform lies with the individual. Sum-
tuary laws apparently are not the answer.
Criminal laws hold where crime can be
charged But there should be tighten
ing up of issuing drivers licenses, or
rather more stringent requirements.

The WAY IS PLAIN

Recent orders promulgated by the ar
my through the west coast defense COM
mand removing the bad against the re-
turn Of interned japanese to their former
homes now is in effect. 1t is a flat order,
but it has been announced that those
termed Japanese Americans will be re-
leased first and that none considered as
dangerous will be given freedom. To that
extent the army can discriminate.
Now that the matter no longer is
theory, but condition, it behooves the
citizenry to accept the situation in char
acteristic law-abiding stride. Individ
ual feelings may not be altered, but re-
straint should be the watch-word for
opponents of the order. By the same
token it is to be hoped those who are
as vigorously in favor OF the move, will
suppress any flare for publicizing their
elation.
1t is a time for use of common sense.
