United States Moves
To Stdnddrdize Curib.
T~elecom'tions Rdtes

A move by the United States
Government to standardize and
reduce telegraph and radio-tele-
phone tariffs within the Caribbean
are was announced by Ward M.
Canaday, US. Co.-Chairman, in
his opening address to the Thir-
tenth Meeting or the Caribbean
Commission now in session here.
Mr.. Canaday, who is presiding
over the current meeting, said:
I'm the belief that the time for
pious resolutions is long past, the
Government of the United States
is undertaking a thorough study
of the rate structure for Caribbean
Accommodation. Although this
study is not yet complete, the
data assembled SO far is sufficient
to reaffirm the existence of serious
Inconsistencies in existing rates.
For example, it sometimes costs
more to send a message to a
neighboring island than halfway
around the world. This situation is
detrimental to the continual de-
velopment of the territories of the
Caribbean area. A system of lilo
gical rates not only impedes the
flow Of information and ideas but
acts as a serious deterrent to the
expansion Of trade"
Mr.. Canaday added that it was

STORY OF PRISON LIFE
AT EAST HIGH CLUB

LIFE Benin D PRISON
WALLS" a paper written and
read by Mrs. Ralph Alvis, great
ly interested members of the East
High Street Club on Tuesday
afternoon.
Since her husband, Mr.. Ralph
Alvis, is Warden at the Ohio
Penitentiary She has intimate
knowledge of the life and pro-
blems involved The Ohio Peni
tertiary was established in 1915.
In 1880 it was built on the pres
ent site of twenty-three acres
with capacity for 2400 inmates.
1t now houses $500. This over
crowding causes critical Difficult
ties for inmates and those respon-
sible for their care. Ten major
industries and forty-four main
tenance departments cannot pro-
vide sufficient work for those who
need it. Even these must now be
curtailed to build new cell blocks
for a constantly increasing popu-
lation.
She described the various types
of cell blocks, from the Honor
Camp to the Hole" and the
Death House; the efficient
orientation program for newcom-
ers; the methods of classification
of prisoners for the various oc-
cupations, by which they are
thoroughly checked for back
ground and potential ability; the
daily schedules Of regimented
activity; the unavoidable frustra-
tions, terrific personal problems,
the nervous tensions, the difficult
ty of adjustment to the idea of
