Clark and Bennett
To Confer Today on
New Penal Chief

Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee today tenta
lively scheduled a full committee
hearing tomorrow in an attempt
to speed action on the suggestions
made by subcommittee on i'm
proving the District penal system
Meanwhile, Attorney General

day with Director James v. Ben.
nett of the Federal Bureau OF

The group is expected to approve
the suggestion of the Hebert SUBJ

mittee to draft legal code for the
suggested department of corrections
which would have jurisdiction over
the Districts penal system.
Suggested Combined Action.
The subcommittee suggested that
Mr.. Mcmillan designate representa-
tives of the District government,
District Court, the Bureau of Prisons
and the Welfare Board to work with
a member of the House District
Committee in working up definitions
of the powers and duties of the cor
rections department. but leaving
wide administrative latitude to the
new penal superintendent.
1t is believed the candidate al
ready has been selected by Mr.. Ben
nett, and that Mr.. Clark's formal
approval will pave the way for off,
clal announcement of the apppintee.
Mr.. Bennett is expected to advise
his man that he will have a free
hand in drastically revising the pres
ent District Jail setup and in or
ganizing training program in penal
practices.
Proposed at Hearing.
Although Justice Department Of
flcials refused to reveal Mr. Ben
netts choice until the selection is
formally approved by Mr.. Clark
it is known that the candidate was
first proposed by Mr.. Bennett when
he appeared in an executive session
before the Hebert subcommittee
The new superintendent is a men,
Der of the FBP staff and is consid-
cred one of the top men in the
organization.
Mr.. Hebert appeared very favor
ably impressed by Mr. Bennetts S
selection, declaring, This man ap-
pears to be just the person we
need"
The District Commissioners, after
dismissing Howard B. Gill, sus-
pended superintendent Of penal in
stitutions. last Wednesday, asked
Mr., Bennett to name q competent
man to reorganize the penal setup
Not Taking Over Jail.
Justice Department spokesmen
emphasized the FBP has no in
tention of taking over permanent
control of the Jail The sole pur-
pose of sending out of it's TOP
men to the Jail is to end conditions
there which led to nine escapes since
last November, including the break

tion to legislation to admit Hawaii to statehood.
 The subcommittee's report was presented to the full committee immediately following it's return from a trip to Hawaii where full hearings were held on the govern mental status of the Territory. The recommendation was based on the subcommittee findings that the people of Hawaii have "dem- onstrated beyond question not only their loyalty and patriotism but also their desire to assume the responsibility of statehood" that Hawaii plays large part in the international position of the United States in this area, that Congress has indicated, through a series of acts and committee re- ports, to the people of the Terri tory that Hawaii would be admit ted into the Union when qualified, and that it is the subcommittee belief that Hawaii "now meets the necessary requirements for state hood"
 The long-aWaited report of the Territories Committee following it's trip through Alaska last sum- mer is now being printed. It is ex- pected the committee will recom- mend that definite declaration of Alaska's status as regards state hood should await the referendum of the people of Alaska on this question at the general election to be held in October This would be largely the view held by the Pres ident when he stated in his budget message to Congress that Con gress promptly accede to the wish es of Hawaii that the Territory be admitted to statehood in our Union, and that similar action be

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, April 12-(P)- A
heavy wave of liquidation sent cot
ton futures down Friday as much
as $4.85 cents bale, but mill buy
ing rallied prices somewhat and
the close was $2.06 to $3.05 a bale
lower.
The break, sharpest since before
the war, was attributed to belated
realization that the statement Of
Representative Pace O-Ga.)
Wednesday that he will not offer
the parity raising measure as a
rider to other bills made its pass
age doubtful. Pace proposed to
raise the cotton parity cents a
pound to about 80 by including
farm labor costs, and this had led
to considerable cotton buying.
On the break the market be-
came disorganized, price fluctua-
tons exceeding 81 a bale being
noted between some trades. Sharp
ly higher margins on speculative
accounts, traders said, had re-
stricted the cushioning effect OF
outside trading on market move
ments.
Private crop reports were favor
able and increased mill buying Of
spot cotton was indicated.
Futures closed $3.50 to $3.05 a
bale lower.
