Soft Prison Policies
Should End , Warden
Tells Catholic Group

A Federal reformatory warden
today called for a change in the
bleeding heart or soft-headed'
school of penology. which he said
had reached the point in some
institutions of providing SWIM
ming pools and lawn picnics for
prisoners.
The point was made by Warden
L. Clark Schilder Of the Chilli
cothe (Ohio) Reformatory in an
address to the National Confer
ence of Catholic Charities in the
Hotel Statler. The conference
opened Tuesday and will end
Monday.
Mr.. Schiller did not identify the
institutions providing pools but he
told a reporter they were not Fed
eral institutions.
Positive Program Needed
Too often, he said, institutions
foster program of buying"
good conduct of inmates rather
than positive program for re-
Mobilization.
"We cannot help them any more
than we can help keep a child
quiet by giving him a lollipop
when we know he will expect more
and more lollipops until eventu-
ally the lollipop bag becomes
empty" the prison official de-
clared.
He advocated instead "a much
broader religious and character
development program" This
should take the form Of full-time
professionally trained chaplains
and separate chapels for each
major faith. He warned that
chaplains must expect their
charges to disappoint them but
that they should keep on trying
and counseling.
Archbishop Francis P. Keough
of Baltimore called on the church

the hope 1t would not emulate
the United Nations in it's so-called
document on the international
declaration Of human rights,
which ignored the creation of
man and the divine origin of his
rights"
The Right Rev. Msgr. John
O'Grady, secretary Of the confer
ence for the past 80 years. yester-
day called for universal coverage
under old-age and survivors in
surance. He said the present dual
system of the Government in this
field creates countless abuses
which, carried to logical conclu-
sions. will involve the Nation in
bankruptcy"

as a means of counteracting the

Living Blasphemy."
Communism bases its ideal OF
security on the absolute denial of
the spiritual and is motivated by
hatred. Archbishop Keough de-
clared. To combat this living
blasphemy" the church, especially
the individual pastors, must instill
in it's flock the Christian ideal of
security which centers on the
primary of the spiritual. of faith
and tr1Ist in God"
Public exhortation and in
struction are not enough" the
archbishop said, adding that a
prolonged and intimate" contact
with every one of his people is
the duty Of the individual pastor
In this respect. the church must
emphasize that mere alienation"
of human suffering and want
without proper Christian motive
is not enough. he declared. Today
there is q special need for this
emphasis. bearing in mind the
warning Of st. Paul that it is pos
sible to distribute all ones good to
the poor and yet have no charity.
Archbishop Keough declared.

The twin troubles of rising
taxes and deficit financing call
for a non-partisan commission to
find ways of cutting Government
spending. in the opinion of Sen
ator Taft, Republican, of Ohio.
In a speech that focused fur
ther attention on Federal spend
ing as a congressional election
campaign issue this year, he told
the American Retail Federation
convention at the Shoreham
Hotel last night that current fiscal
policies can lead to national
calamity"
He urged appointment of a
leading citizens" committee to
advise Congress on spending
make a complete restudy" of
the agricultural program and look
into such problems as the financ-
ing of the CT housing plan. The
commission, he suggested, should
have more power than the Hoover
Commission on Governmental Re-
organization and would deal not
only with long-range spending
but with the tax burden.
Federation members at the
closing session Of the three-day
convention also heard Senator
O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyo-
ming, and William c. Truppner,
chief of the business division of
the Census Bureau.

as evidence of a shift in buying
habits" fzom city centers to out

Retail sales, according to 1948
business census, are three times

The larger cities, however, have
lost about II per cent of their
retail outlets while the biggest
sales gains are being made beyond
city limits. he noted. The Wash
ington metropolitan area, he said,
showed a 200 per cent gain since
1889, but the increase in the city
itself was ITS per cent. The sur
rounding sections had a gain Of
1856 per cent, he said.

repeated in very many cities" he
added, 1T is very possible that the

at the same time avoid waste.
Senator Taft contended that

He said he believed the cold war
with Russia could be financed out
Of current taxes. To get a
balanced budget, the Nation could
get along without some public

More About EGGS

"Irate Housewife" was far too mild in
her letter of July 3. Whatever is wrong
with agriculture is not being corrected
by the present Government program. A
grain farmer, who works hard for per-
haps three months of the year, is guar
anteed a good profit, while those who
feed that grain and its by-products every
day of the year are damned by the
public as prof1teers.
Due to Government supported grain
prices, a dozen eggs must bring about 38
cents at the farm before any profit is
made. All spring and summer egg prices
have stayed near that figure, having
risen in the last few weeks to 81 cents.
How long do you think farmers will
produce fresh, Grade-A eggs for the
Washington market without any pay for
their labor and investment?
suggest that people read the daily
market report, on Page l, Section B of

THE AMERICAN public, now begin

into Bikini Lagoon back in 1916.
The sailor like the public, had plenty

lot of bogus information about invisible

the human system.
He slipped from small boat few
hours after the bomb exploded, some
1000 feet above the lagoon. The sailor
lacked nothing in courage. but his imagi-
nation got the best of him. He went
into state of shock, and did not re-

down, placed in sick bay-and reassured
by men whose knowledge he respected
The residual effect on the water, like
that on land around an air target, was
nil insofar as its harmful quality was
concerned. Yet the sailor, because OF

his fears.
