Prisons Obsolete

Now what are the facts? Most
American prisons r obsolete mu-
scum pieces, built Years ago and
added to from time to time when
overcrowding reached the break
ing point. The Trenton prison was
built back in 1886, and the prison
in your own state of Maryland
dates from Thomas Jefferson's
day. The Ohio penitentiary at Co.
lumbus goes back to 1884 when the
lock step and ball and chain were
commonplace. In % states the
prisons are from 10 to over 100
years old. They lack modern facili.
ties, decent dining room and kitch.
en- equipment, and were built in
the day when, in the words of one
famous warden, prisons were pur-
posely made dark and comfort
less abodes of guilt and wretched-
ness" Now, when the primary
purpose of the prison is considered
to be rehabilitation and retraining
of the prisoner, dungeons and bas-
titles r obsolete because we have
come to understand the importance
of decent living conditions even for
prisoners.

The VA pointed out that
poSt-Korean veterans can avoid
delay in receiving education
and training if they have their
separation papers copied before
the originals are sent in to the

Mustering-out pay is handled

with the exception Of VA-guar-

Veterans applying for Certif-

loans must present their orig
inal discharge or separation
papers, which will be endorsed
by the VA and returned after
the loans are processed.
The VA also has asked veter-
ans to make sure that in SUBJ
hitting photostatic Or certified
copies of discharge or separa-
ton papers they submit copies
of both sides of the document
and not just the front.
Veterans who have been re-
leased to the reserves since
June q, 1850, should submit
their report of separation or

do not get discharge papers.

Prisoners Story

Do you remember, Drew, when
the embattled prisoners in New
Jersey demanded tn. t you be
brought into the prison so they
could tell you their grievances?
You couldn't go. as I remember
It, for some reason not important
now. But it is significant that they
called you to present their prob
lens in your column. AS a matter
of fact, in every one of the prison
riots we have been having recent
ly, the men insisted upon telling
their story directly to a newspaper
man like yourself. They wanted to
get their story clearly before the
public. Mostly this was because
they think that ordinary folks don't
understand their problems and
they have great confidence in the
power of the press to remedy some
of the conditions and problems
they face.

Idle Houses

Is it any wonder that such priS-
ons fail to reform two out of three
pl isoners? In some states up to
IS per cent of the men received
nave previously served time.
Idleness, lack of work and con-
structive employment, is one of the
greatest handicaps to preventing
disturbances and maintaining or
der. Most prisons are vast, idle
houses with the men milling aim
lessly about crowded prison yards
or II the double-decked and over
crowded dormitories. Now that this
country can find employment for
mere than 60 million people, you
would think it would be possible to
find some method of occupying
forty or fifty thousand men who
need to learn to work, work that
in ard of itself can be a practical
substitute for criminal ways. But
pressure groups, timid public Off,
Gals. and shortsighed legislators
have been unwilling to sit down TO-
gether and work out a solution to
this problem. - Il
Prisons in turmoil are a dra.
matte reminder of the need for ma
tional cooperation. What goes on
in one state affects the safety of
every other state. When prisoners
are dashed and beaten and embit.

menace to the citizens of every
community. What is needed. Of

oner for food. medical supplies and

Need P~sychiafrisfs

But worse than these archaic
millstones about the neck of prison
administrators is the failure to pro-
vide adequate and decently paid
personnel. Less than 10 per cent
of the prisons have fullftime psy-
chiatrists, for e::amples notwith-
standing the fact that nowhere else
is there so large a group of men
in need of mental hygiene. Prob
ably 80 per cent of the men guard
ing the 150, 900 prisoners in this
country don't receive as much as
a construction 1aborer, and many
of them receive less than the mini
mum wage set by the Department
of Labor. And also they work long
hours. In Tennessee, for instance,
the prison officers work 70 hours a
week.

fine state, justly proud of its edu-
cational system, its many excel
lent colleges, fine churches. Yet

yet there is not one full-time psy-
chiatrist employed in the entire

tlary has more than twice the num-
Der of prisoners it was built to &C.

State Insurance Commissioner
Harvey M. Chesney has approved
a revision in Automobile Physical
Damage Rates for the National
Automobile Underwriters Associa-
ton on behalf of its member and
subscriber companies to be effective
on all new and renewal policies
written on Or after June 30, 1852,
and on all policies effective on and
after September l, 1862, regardless
of when written.
Maryland law requires that rates
shall not be excessive, inadequate
or unfairly discriminatory. Pur-
suant, to these provisions the rates
have been revised in accordance
with the latest experience of the
companies for the various classes;
such as, Comprehensive Physical
Damage, $50 Deductible and 800
and over Deductibles for each of
the Maryland rating territories,
Baltimore City and remainder of
State. While the revised rates re-
suit in some increases and some
reductions for the various classes
and respective territories, the aver
age statewide change is a slight
increase of nine tenths of one per
cent (0.9%).
The approved rate changes are as
follows:
Private Passenger Cars: a.
Comprehensive Coverage - rates
increased 208o in Baltimore City
and decreased 20% in the remand
err of the State. (2.) Collision

OPS to Police
Used Car Sales
In Maryland

Representatives of the Maryland
District OPS office today stated
that they are maintaining strict
and constant check on new and
used car sales in Maryland.
OPS stated it has received re-
ports that because of reduction in
the quotas of autos shipped to new
car sellers, an increased demand
for new and used automobiles
might eventually result in the bid
ding-up of prices.
Several factors are responsible
for the reduction of new car quotas
by the manufacturer. Less steel is
new available for the manufacture
of passenger cars as direct result
Of the current steel strike, and
many automobile manufacturers
are giving concentration to Defense
orders.
Maryland OPS Director Hugo r
Hoffman pointed out that current
regulations governing the sale OF
new and used ars now make il
easier for the consumer to check
ceiling prices. Ceiling prices for
new automobiles, including charges
made for special, optional and
extra equipment, must be posted in
a conspicuous place at the sellers
place of business. In addition, the
purchaser must receive detailed
invoice showing all charges made
within seven days after the date of
/, sale. Used automobiles must be tag
ged with the ceiling price, and the
purchaser is required to receive a
detailed invoice within seven days.
OPS officials said many con-
sumers still do not realize that OPS
regulations protect them from tie
in sales and from having to trade
in their cars in order to obtain the
model of their choice. Regulations
clearly state that the purchaser is
not required to have trade-in in
order to make a purchase and that
he is not required to purchase any
special, extra or optional equipment
in order to obtain new or used
automobile.
The OPS used car regulation ap-
plies as well to the. sale of autos
made between individuals who are
not engaged in the business of buy
ing and selling used cars.
Mr.. Hoffman stated that his Of
fee is always available for help
with pricing problems on any OPS
regulation. Price specialists are on
hand to answer all inquiries.
Here in Maryland, OPS is To-
Gated at 800 West Franklin Street,
Baltimore one. The telephone num-
Der is Lexington 4042.

Harvey M. Chesney has approved
for the National Bureau of Casual
ty Underwriters revised Bodily In
jury Liability rates for a number
of Owners, Landlords and Ten
ants classifcations effective June
80, 1852.
The classifcations affected are
those rated on an area and front
age basis, including stores, hotels,
churches, hospitals, clubs, restau-
rants, apartments and tenements,
boarding or rooming houses and
mercantile and office buildings.
The revised rates represent an
average increase of 500 for the
classifications affected based on the
Maryland loss and expense expert
ence of the companies. This in
crease is due to the constant pres
sure of imitation which has caused
substantial increase in losses, the
average cost of claims and in in
surance company expenses, the In
surance Department said.
For this form of liability in
surance the premiums do not auto
matically increase with imitation
since they are based upon fixed ex-
posures of area and frontage. This
situation has resulted lin the COM
