Punishment Urged
For Unwed Mothers
By Baltimore jury
BY the Asseciated Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 10.-The
grand jury has recommended
punishment for mothers of IL
legitimate children. retention Of
the death penalty for rapists
and murderers, and life SEN
tences for habitual criminals.
The recommendations were in
the final report yesterday by
the jury, which served during
the September term of Criminal
Court under Judge Paul E. Ma
son.
Foreman John P. Gray said
the jury felt that in cases OF
illegitimate children some pun
ishment of the mother should
be devised to make her aware
of the seriousness of her Of
fense against morality and So
ciety."
Offenses Often Repeated.
The habitual-criminal recon-
mendation would affect those
convicted of felonies a fourth
time. In this connection. Mr..
Gray noted that carnal knowl-
edge and rape offenses often
were repeated by men with rec
ords of similar crimes.
The death penalty for rape
and murder should be retained,
the report said, because such
crimes still are "at a high level
in Maryland"
"This dread sentence" the
jury said, has been useful in
the past and will undoubtedly
continue to serve in the future
as a powerful crime deterrent"
Higher Age for Drivers.
These other recommendations
were submitted:
/. Raising the minimum age
for automobile drivers to 18.
2. Withholding licenses for one
year from car thieves over 81.
8. Withholding licenses from
minors until they become of age
if they are convicted of auto
theft.
The jury said RELENTLESS police
work followed up by vigorous
prosecution" had greatly de-
creased gambling, illegal horse
race betting, numbers racketeer-
ing and narcotics violations.
The narcotics squad came in
for special praise.
In another section, the jury's
liquor and sanitation committee
took a swipe at the kind of en-
tertainment furnished by many
Baltimore taverns and night
clubs.
Only "those of a low degree
of intelligence" find it amusing.
