ADVOCATES TWENTY :
ONE PIECES OF LEG
ISLATIoN IN STATE
OF Union MESSAGE
my Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Jan. al
President Truman today deliver
ed his message to congress on the
state of the Union and in advo-
caey of 81 pieces of legislation.
1t was the longest presidential
message in the history of the
United States, containing $4,000
words.
He declared he favored the
cutting of government expenses
almost in half, and called for
reduction of debts as fast as is
practicable.
One of the measures he advo-
Gated is the appointment of fact
finding boards that will be inn
powered to examine companies
books to determine their ability
to pay wages and also to pro-
vide for a 50-day "cooling Off
effect.
Another measure concerns I'M
employment, a second, the pro-
posed merger of the armed ser
vices, and another that is de-
signed to extend selective serv-
ice.
Collective bargaining, he as
serted, is the best way to avert
strikes. Fair wages for employees
and fairness to private capital,
with assurances of fair profits on
Investments. arc essential to the
industrial world.
He advocated that the mini
mum wage scale be increased
from 40 to IS cents an hour, and
added that proposed increase
could be made without endan-
gering the profits of either bus
mess. or industry.
He commented on the critical
housing shortage in the United
States, and advocated that the
government adopt a long-range
policy for relieving that situa-
ton.
Though he spoke about cutting
down government expenses by
one-half, he strongly advocated
in salaries OF all feder-
al employees.

County Jail Restricted For
Housing Federal Prisoners
Navy Photo
(WashinE on Correspondent
Of The Key West CitfzemN

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. 81.
The Monroe County Jail is
ranked as "restr. cted" for the
housing of Federal prisoners, it
was learned today. This means
that Federal prisoners are not
to be housed there unless other
Jail facilities are not available.
Z OF 5000 county jails inspected
by bureau officials, only 500
have met Federal standards.
The remainder according to
Justice Department officials, are
not fit to house any prisoners,
and should be placed under bet
ter management and cleaned up.
The rating & Of the Monroe
rating is based on an inspection
County Jail is 43 percent. This
made Jan. II, 1914. 1t is pos
sible that improvements have
been made since that time.
In many of the jails not ap-
proved by the Federal Govern
.ment, children are often mixed
with DRINKS, hardened Grimm
ais, and sex perverts. Most of
these jails have kangaroo
court.", lmpromptu courts set
up by prisoners, allegedly to
maintain order in the Jail, but
often for the benefit of the
Judges, usually the biggest
DULLES in the prison and some
times murderers or deeenrates.
The Bureau of Prisons wifi
not approve any Jail where q
kangaroo court operates. t.-
Il am appalled, that some jail
officials are so criminally lax
that they turn their own jobs
over to the prisoners" said Mss
Nina Kinsella, for Is years SUI
pervisor of Jail inspection. "Pris-
inors are not competent to gov
ern themselves. Under no cir
cumstances should they be Civ
en- authority over Others"
County jails are also judged
on their cleanliness or lack of
it, the quality of food served,
and attention given the Jail by
the sheriff and the jailers.
The election as sheriffs of men
unskilled in institutional man
agement and the fee system are
Partially responsible for the low
rating of the average county
jail, department officials claim.
BY half starving prisoners, some
sheriffS can pocket most of the
money, in some cases I'D to $50
GOO a year.
To bring about Improvement
in county jails, the people can
demand regular statewide in
spection and they can force the
county government to establish
satisfactory personnel standards
and prescribe sound rules for
operation of the JAIL depart
ment, Spokesman say. Something
must be done, for the record OF
degeneracy, thievery and muir
der IN county iails is appalling.

Peru, decide on two or three, or
more, films pertinent to the
country and the study-courses
about it. These films, when the
whole list is completed, are order
ed'' from the State university
film library, on a rental basis. Or
perhaps they are drawn from the
county's own school film library
located in Isaac Bear school. Dates
of showing are included and a
minute schedule of distribution to
the various classes is pre-arrang-
ed.
The following November, as per
schedule, the first of the Peru
films arrives for showing. Making
its rounds in the va 'ious classes,
the film is re-packed and sent back
to the library. The rental fee is
almost insignificant.
The same system, generally
speaking, applies to the selection
under the school superintendent.
There are 20 sound film project
ors in the county's grade schools.
There's nothing left to chance
in selecting films to show to the
youngsters" Mrs. Bennett ex-
plains.
Individual teachers and school,
principals are constantly making
suggestions and recommendations
II, in their opinion, a film isn't
all it's supposed to be, we don't
use it thereafter. If one film is
considered superior, for its pur-
pose, over another, our department
learns of it very quickly and our
future actions are governed &C
cordingly. The result is that to.
day we have an excellent, albeit
still-too-small, library of films,
owned outright by the county"
Mrs. Bennett says.

by which the program is carried
out here.
That the program is closely CO.
ordinated with textbook lecture
work goes almost without saying.
Take an example from the High
schools system:
Each Spring, classroom teachers
get together in round-table dis
cussion and with Principal T. T.
Hamilton, Jr., begin making plans
for the next school-year's work.
At hand, with his catalogues of
educational films and other pertin-
ent data, is the schools director
of visual education. AS teachers
outline the forthcoming year S
study courses, the film catalogue
is consulted.
We'll be studying Peru about
Nov. L." one teacher says.
The film catalogue is consulted,
and under Peru is found a list OF
educational films, including such
topics as mining, agriculture, peo-
pie, customs.

checked and finally teachers
