Freed Prisoner
Gets S112,291

NEW YORK, June II (P.-
A State Court of Claims judge
awarded $112,291 today to Al
year-old Louis Hoffner as COM
pensation for his 12-year i'm
prisonment on a murder con-
viction that was set aside in
1852.
Mr.. Hoffner, a soft-spoken
bespectacled bachelor, thanked
Judge Frederick A. Young, say
ing:
II feel very good that it's all
over"
1--we got my freedom; that's
the main thing" he told re-
porters.
Judge Young called Mr.. Hoff-
ner'S original conviction "a
tragic miscarriage of justice"
He was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for the still-un-
solved Staying of a Queens bar
tender in 1910.
A Queens County judge set
aside the conviction after a FIVE
year campaign headed by Ed
ward j. Mowery, staff writer of
the New York rld-Telegram
and Sun.
The campaign brought dis
closure of minutes of a police
lineup at which the States star
witness failed to identify Mr..
Hoffner-although he did SO
later in court.
Results of a lie-detector test
showed Mr.. Hofner was telling
the truth in claiming innocence.
He was not allowed to take the
test when first accused in 1910.
Judge Young called the Court
of Claims "the conscience of the
State" adding, I'VE can be
proud that our system of laws
recognizes that our citizens de-
serve redress, not only for claims
legally enforceable. but also for
moral obligations"

Women's National Press Club
was told yesterday.
The speaker WAS Mrs. Alice
Frein johnson, Washington
correspondent Of the Seattle
Times. who Travelled 5000
miles through South Africa
and the Belgian Congo this
summer
Mrs. Johnson was one Of
three club members who ad-
dressed the group yesterday
on their summer travels. Mrs.
Ruth Montgomery Of the New
York Daily News discussed the
Far East, especially the colin-
tries around the periineter of
Red China. Miss Mary c. Lyne
OF the United States Inforna-
tion Agency talked about her
visit To eleven Near Eastern
countries.
Belgium has developed q
"stupendously exciting plan
for developing the vast natural
resources Of the Congo. while
ct the same time displaying .
magnificent social COM
science for the welfare of the
natives, Mrs. johnson declared.
As q result. she stated, '.the
Congolese are happy, well sat-

they never had Il 80 good =
Probably the biggest single
reason why there is peace and
stability Ia the Congo, while
neighboring South Africa Is
seething with riot and unrest,
is the question of land owner
ship. the neWswornan said.
Land ownership IS bitterly
disputed IN South Africa. while
In the Congo the land belongs
to the natives, .'and the gov-
ernment intends that they win
continue to own it. 3. she said.
The Belgian government
intends to see that q fair
share Of the profits stays In
the colonies, . Mrs. johnson
said. Other reasons their poll
Icy has been q success, she
said, is that they are working
through the native chiefs, try
ing to guide the natives ac-
cording to their native GUS
toms, and the fact that there
Is no racial discrimination In
housing. education and ein-
ployment.
Singapore Powder Kegs
Mrs. Montgomery. who new
around the world in 40 days,
said everyone she talked to In
the Far East said Singapore
was the new powder keg.p
where the next trouble was
likely to break out between
the Communist and the free
world. She was told Singapore
is now 50 per cent Communist,
she added.
In Japan she found this
terrific new wave of national-
ism. almost q Yankee 60

coupled with much unhappi-
ness among Westerners about
the new confiscatory income
tax. which Is causing most
American firms. including
newspapers. to plan to close

the year.
Thailand SIS still probably
the most pro-American coun-
try In Southeast Asia," " she
said. and Is ''tte only conn-
try with q common border

BROUGHTON's
Report from
COLUMBUS

"No one can blame folks who
say occasionally that it seems
as If our laws are purpoSely
made as complicated as posi-
ble," commented Representa- :
tive B. A. Broughton, in report
ing on current legislation in the
Ohio General Assembly.
Though it may sometimes
appear otherwise, the actual
fact is that legislators are
constantly trying to clarity and
simplify the present statues as
well as to make new laws clear
and exact. The Ohio Revised
Code, a complete compilation
of Ohio laws, is a book of 81
main Titles, Subdivided into 596
Chapters under which are the
thousands of sections making up
the laws. Since any one OF
these laws may at some time
or other, directly or indirectly,
reach into the daily life of ev-
cry resident of Ohio, it is very
important that the laws be
made to say exactly what they
mean. Sometimes this takes a
lot of words. Blu the effort goes
on constantly in the Legislature
to simplify and clarity our pre-
sent laws.
Several such bills were
passed by the House | a S
week, together with few bills
which add new laws to t h
statute books.
lone of the simplification
bills would eliminate some III
necessary steps in the proce
dure under which a Juvenile
Court provides for the care O

Another would streamline
the steps to be followed whel
