CHRISTIANITY
PUT TO WORK
IN A PRISON
BY HORACE B. WARD
AP Newsfeatures

La GRANGE, Ky. = The "prac-
tical Christianity" of a group of
Louisville churchmen is finding its
way inside the walls of Kentucky
State Reformatory here and state
officials, from the governor down to
the prison guards, give it credit for
improving Kentucky's efforts to re-
habilitate her erring sons.
Most of the suggestions to date by
this group of christian citizens"
have been adopted at the reforma-
tory, says Warden F. S. Kieren.
The warden, a retired colonel of
Marines, says these churchmen are
helping him and the state do bet
ter job of reforming all the inmates
who are capable of reformation.
The men Col. Kieren speaks of
are members of the Committee on
Institutions of the Louisville Coun-
Gil of Churches.
The La Grange Reformatory
owns 5000 acres of land. In past
years comparatively little use was
made of this farm. The committee
found prisoners from the cities
working awkwardly in the fields,
while inmates from. rural areas
were trying to master machines in
the prison shops.
Richard v. Wood, prisons COM
mittee chairman, enlisted Ed Wes-
terman, retired farmer, to head a
subcommittee on the best crops to
raise and how.
The farm output in 1916 was So
percent higher than in 1945.
Similar aid was given reforma-
tory officials in their prisoner edu-
cation program Col. Kieren points
out that very large proportion OF
those who enter his institution have
less than grade school education
He also finds that many of his "re-
peaters" come back because they
are not trained in any vocation.
The churchmen brought in ano-
ther subcommittee headed by DR.
w. NJ. Strickler, director of the adj
ult education division of the Uni
versity of Louisville, to set up both
academic and vocational courses.

services for those who want them
and many do. The committee hal
obtained a chaplain, the Rev. Wal

Council of Churches pays part o
his salary.

NoNewsprintI Increase
Until '49 or 50 Seen
BY the Asseeiated Press

The Commerce Department says
that mo substantial increase in
supply" Of newsprint seems likely
until 1949 or 1850.
But for most other grades of
paper and paperboard, it said last
night, the situation has greatly
improved" in recent months and
should continue to ease" as further
new capacity comes into production
this year and next.
The big program as regards paper
in general is a shortage of railroad
boxcars to deliver the goods, the
department said, but on newsprint
it added:
Reports from all parts of the
country indicate that the newsprint
supply still remains far short of
demand. Prices quoted on such
small lots as can be picked up from
time to time are greatly above con-
tract prices or the nominal market
price"
The department said North Amer
lean production of newsprint was 8
per cent greater during the first
seven months of this year than in
the corresponding period last year,
Canada setting the pace with a 9
per cent increase.
United States production, 1t said,
increased per cent due to i'm
provements in existing equipment,
more efficient operation and the
reconversion of number of small
machines back to newsprint produc-
ton"

Capt. Whitehurst said he did not
know how Federal and District
funds in the fiscal year l949 would
be apportioned among the Highway
bridge, K street and Dupont Circle
projects. That, he said, would de-
pend on the speed with which work
progressed, adding he believed
spending at Dupont Circle would be
at an approximate rate of s200,0 a
month after work begins next
spring.
Streetcars will be passing under
Dupont Circle by the Sumer OF l949,
the highway director predicted.
Automobile traffic on Connecticut
avenue will have to continue to fight
its way around the circle little
longer than that, he said.
The increased estimate in the de-
partment's operating costs for 1949,
Capt. Whitehurst explained, was the
result Of a move to acquire the
services of IL new engineers and
engineering aides for work in field
parties.
The department originally asked
for II such additional employees in
its budget estimate for the current
fiscal year but the request was with
drawn. The money now sought for
II new employees represents a re-
submission of part of the original
request, Capt. Whitehurst said.
Eventually, he added, So such new
employees will be needed.
