From Books and Short Stories

Becker, 80, had served two years
in Sing Sing Prison and a year in
a Buffalo Jail on bad check charge
and three months in a Toronto
(Canada) Jail for failing to pay a
hotel bill. The new series Of fraud
ulent checks got him prison term

Warden Lagay, who encourages
prisoners to develop vocational skills,
provided Becker an opportunity to
write, and Becker began to turn out
a series of short stories mostly
about outdoor life. Finally, he wrote
his first book, "Coble Hill," which
was published this spring.
He has had stories published in
Golfers, Esquire, Coronet, Pic, Read
ers Digest and other national mag
azines. His agent, Bertha Klausner
in New York, said more than 100 OF
his stories have been published.
The New Jersey Court of Pardons
then reviewed the case and reduced
Becker's prison term to make him
eligible for parole in August, 1948
Part of his literary earnings are usec
to make restitution for the bac
checks he had authored.
