SEA SCOUTS LEARN
ROPES. KNOT TYING

a group of Sea Scouts learned
much about splicing rope, making
eyes in lines and rope tenders
Saturday morning at the local
Navy Yard.
Several sailors and a navy chief
spent the morning demonstrating
ways to splice and other rope
shortcuts.
The scouts paired off to make
tenders after sailor showed
them the rudiments of fender
making. When the last knot had
been tied the Scouts compared
the results of their handiwork
and agreed that Joe Crusoe and
Percy Curry had produced the
best fender. Net result: the Sea
Scouts are four Tenders richer to-
day.
Scouts attending. the knot-ty-
Ing session were Joe Crusoe, AL
len Carey, Percy Curry, Archie
lowe, John Stout and Stanley
Higgs, who has been nicknamed
HYoung Ropes.
i, The scouts were escorted by
Jack Stout, who is captain in
one of the Scout Ships.
Work on the Scout Ship down
at the Standard Oil dock is being
continued. The hull has been
painted and topsides are being
readied for a shiny new finish.
Thursday night, Scout Ship
"Conch" met at Skipper Bill Por-
ter'S place. Scout Commissioner
Dave McCurdy gave an encourag-
ing report on Sea Scout activities
and said they were to receive

Blind Couple Discover True
Love at Seeing Eye School

NEW YORK.-Love is blind, the
poets said. The poets meant love
cannot see and often blunders. But
for a 23-year-old Brooklyn girl and
a 32-year-old veteran of the, Battle
of the Bulge, blind love meant
something else.
Irene Cammer of Brooklyn met
William Schwenck at the Seeing
Eye school in Morristown, N. j.,
last May.
Both were blind. Irene from
birth; Schwenck since a German
mine blew up in his face in France.
But though the pretty brown
haired, brown-eyed Irene could not
see Bill and he could not see her,
they liked the sound of each others
voices. And a touch of the hand
meant more than a glance. 1t led to
their marriage.

Latest March Of Time
END Of An Empire?"
Coming Here Nov. 80

Are we witnessing the breakup
of one of the great empires? The
new March of Time, END of an
Empire" tells the story of Dutch
attempts to salvage what they can
of Indonesia. It's an eye-opener at
the Royal theater, Nov. 80, Dec. 1,
2 and 4.
Americans who have been waiting
for the world to "get back to nor
nal" will come away from this pic
ture aware of the seriousness of
today's events in the Far East. Is
the era of the white mans rule in
Asia ended?
For centuries the Dutch empire
relied largely for its raw materials
or its colonies-the tropical para
disc of the Netherlands East Indies.
But when the Japs moved in during
the war, they indoctrinated the ma
tives with the idea of "Asia for the
Asiatics" and as a result, wars end
found the Republic of Indonesia
with her WI government and a
determination never to return to
Dutch rule. But long drawn out
negotiations between the Dutch and
the Indonesians brought little result,
and open warfare started.
In every sense a thought-provok-
ing picture, this new March of Time
is one of the most colorful to date.
The shots of Hollands splendid re-
construction, the old-world grace of
her quaintly-costumed people find
vivid contrast in the tropic business
of Balls ineluctable charms.

Crime Increase
Crowds Prisons
Expanded Facilities Needed
As Jail Population
Scars Upward.

Federal Bureau of Investigation o.
the heavy increase in crime since
the war is reflected by a growing
prison population which confronts
penal authorities in some sections
of the country with the early pros
pect of a full house.
In the first half Of 1947, the FIJI
reports, the national crime rate was
IL per cent greater than in the
same period of 1941 and only 2.3 per
cent less than last year, which had
the highest rate in 16 years.
To penal authorities these Stats
tics mean a need-urgent in some
cases-for more beds, more cells,
more space and work facilities to
prevent idleness among prisoners
something which every warden
breads as a leading cause of dis
turbances.
To meet this increasing housing
problem IS states have mapped
plans for expanding prison facili-
ties. Construction work on six of
these programs is under way.
Shortages Cause Delay.
But in California and Pennsylva-
mia. where the legislatures author
lied expansion programs of 20 mil
lion dollars and 8 million dollars,
respectively, building has been held
up by shortages of materials.
MARYLAND, Missouri, Rhode Island
and several other states are ham,
pered by lack of markets, shortage
of materials and the end of govern
ment war contracts in creating
work to keep their prisoners busy.
State prisons now house l30,OOO
prisoners, a survey shows. In at
least 35 states the number OF con-
victs has been rising steadily since
the war, when crime in general fell
off. In some areas the number has
more than doubled since the war.
In several states prisoners are
sleeping in corridors or sharing tiny
cells with three other men.
Since the war the prison popula-
ton of five states has climbed to all
time peaks. In at least IL states,
prisons are o~vercrowded or close to
the point of congestion.
Federal prisons contain 17,7O9
c~onvicts, which is about 1890 short
of capacity. But federal prisons pre-
sent an unusual situation. Two
a ago they housed 1900, but
this total was caused largely by
wartime offenders. chiefly draft
dodgers.
Riots Are Feared.
O~vercrowding in state prisons has
not ignited any riots since the war,
but in several cases officials have
their fingers crossed.
DR.. F. Lowell Bixby, New Jerseys
deputy commissioner in charge of
corrections and parole, sums up the
fears of many officials in other
states. New jerseys daily average
prison population this year is 2,l45,
more than 300 over normal capacity
and highest in the states history.
Overcrowding, says DR.. BlXby,
"produces a nerve-wracking effect
prisoners and staff.
"Individualized study and treat
ment probably are the greatest
safeguards against prison disturb
ances. When this procedure breaks
down because the staff cannot keep
up the work the administration nee
essarily has to resort to mass
treatment. This very often allows
more aggressive individuals to or
ganize and to get themselves into
positions of leadership from which
they can start and direct trouble.
"Overcrowding invariably means
idleness, and idleness is probably
the most dangerous condition lead
ing to serious disturbances and

There is a total farm market for
manufactured products of 25 billion

results from a rise of 40 per cent in
