Expand Probe
OF Prisons
Senote Votes
Investigation

LANSING. April 26-tP)-
The Michigan Corrections Sys-
tenn, under investigation by two
agencies now, is the target of
third inquiry voted last night by
The Senate.
AT the same time, Carrot
Heyns, State Corrections Direc-
tor, revealed he had ordered
four inmates Of the Southern
Michigan Pri on transferred
summarily to the Marquette
branch prison, sometimes called
Siberia among convicts.
Heyns would say only the
transfers were for failure to CO.
operate with prison. authorities,
but there were reports, which he
refused to confirm or deny, that
the quartette had refused to tes-
tify before Attorney General
John r. Dethmers' investigation
of the Southern Michigan Prison.
The same reports said new at
tempts would be made to ques-
ton the men at Marquette.
A three-member Senate COM
mittee was ordered on motion OF
Senator Ivan A. Johnston, Mt.
Clemens republican.
Attorney General John Il.
Dethmers already is conducting
an investigation OF reports Oh
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in the State
Prison of Southern Michigan,
and Governor Kelly is conduct
ing an inquiry into the State
Parole System as the result OF
widely publicized criticisms OF
the Parole Board by two Detroit
judges.
Senators said Senator Harry
F. Hittle, East Lansing republic
can. is the real father of john
ston's resolution. Hittle was de-
feated in committee earlier in an
attempt to give prison wardens
authority to parole prisoners
directly into the army without
action by the parole board.
Johnston said the resolution
was sponsored by the Senate
Judiciary Committee, of which
he and Hittle are members, al
ter "a great deal Of discussion.
Senators Haskell l.. Nichols,
Jackson republican, and Colin
l.. Smith, Big Rapids republican,
two other members of the com
mittee. said the resolution had
never been discussed in commit
tee.
Johnston said there was wide
spread opposition among Iurlsts
ard attorneys to the parole sys-
tenn and that corrective legis'
| lation might be necessary"
He declined to say whether
the proposed Senate Committee
would 60 over the same field
as Dethmers' probe.
Heyns said the four men trans
ferred were Ray Bernstein and
Harry Keywell, reputed mem
bers of the notorious purple
gang who are serving life SEN
fences for the so-called "Colling-
wood massacre" Philip Keywell,
and William D. Allen, known
as "Blackie Zanger.'
Heyns said their transfers had
no connection with the revela-
ton last week that those four
had been visited in prison in
violation Of prison rules by other
members of the purple gang
who now have been arrested in
the investigation of the murder
of Senator Warren c. Hooper.
The latter are Mike Selik, Harry
and Sam Fleischer and Tom
"Mahoney."
