Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 4.-E. Phillips Op-

D. {. Jai|breaks Beneficial
In Rousinq Public, Gill Says

Public anxiety aroused by the
series of recent jailbreaks is good
thing in that it calls attention to the
need tor improved prisons, Howard
B. Gill, suspended superintendent
of District penal institutions, told a
Bible class yesterday.
Speaking at the Universalist Ma
tional Memorial Church, Mr.. Gill
said the present controversy in
which he is involved is an example
of the friction resulting from any
effort to instill "life, purpose and
meaning in a traditional prison"
Anytime the status quo of a prison
is altered to "do something for the
men, it results in clash of opin-
ions, he said.
Mr.. Gill deplored the housing of
alcoholics in the District Jail and
called for system to return men to
society under supervision.
He said something should be done
about the regulations under which
District taxpayers are assessed $780,
900 annually for boarding Federal
prisoners in the District Jail.
