Board OK's
Penal Report

RICHMOND. Aug. 10 R.-
The State Board of Welfare has
approved a program submitted
by a four member study COM
mittee, including the recommen-
dalton that there be a new penal
institution for misdemeanants
to relieve overcrowding through
out the system.
The study committee recon-
mended also that the department
and board "be firm in their con-
victions that constructive en-
ployment be provided for all in
mates Special interest groups
must be impressed with the fact
that the intent of the diversified
industries program is not COM
petition but protection and
economy
Nothing Is so wasteful to the
Commonwealth. both in human
resources and in money, as the
situations arising from enforced
idleneSs.
Empty Areas Cited
Sites suggested for the new
! penal institution were: l. Land
owned at the State Farm in
Powhaton County. 2. The unused
United States Army Remount
Station at Front Royal; 3. The
unused facilities at Camp Pick
EFT.
1T is imperative that the
overcrowding Of the penitentiary
be relieved by removing some of
its population to other institu-
tions." the report declared.
The group recommended that
guard towers and additional Sc
curity equipment be made avail
able to make the south side farm
suitable for holding felons.
Prison Overcrowded
Although the penitentiary is
in good physical condition, and
is adequate to serve those in
mates requiring maximum Sc
curity, it is not adequate under
the present conditions of over
crowding." the report said.
Also recommended by the
committee was a formal train
ing program for all custodial
personnel; the hiring of some
additional professional person
mel; encouragement of local
ministers to provide religious
services; expansion of industrial
programs in the institutions to
provide for the population in
crease and the development of
programs for handicapped in
mates; and increase of the edu-
cational staff at all Of the
States prison facilities.
The report noted that the
Penitentiary was designed to
house not more than 1900 in
mates. and there are now ,699.

w. & N. Head Defended;
Cut in Deficit Is Cited

WILLIAMSBURG. Va, Aug.
10 R.-A counter-attack, bris-
ting with facts and figures. has
been launched by defenders of
the much-criticized administra-
ton at the College of William
and Mary.
Hugh H. Sisson, jr., the COL
lege bursar, and Arthur w.
Phelps, professor of jurispru-
dence at the college, rallied to
the support of former Admiral
Alvin Duke Chandler who has
been president of the Nations
second oldest college since Oc-
tober, 1851.
At the same time DR.. RATHER
me Jeffers. former dean of
women at the college, urged the
State to study the qualifications
and the methods of appointment
of governing board members for
all educational institutions sup
ported by the commonwealth.
Mr.. Sisson released statistics
showing that when Mr.. Chandler
was installed as president he in
'herited a deficit in the private
funds Of the college of 1895
and a deficit in maintenance and
operation funds of $427,149.
Deficit Liquidated
The bursar disclosed further
that as of June 30, 1855, the
deficit in private funds had been
liquidated and the maintenance
and operation deficit had been
reduced to $221,280.
II think I can sincerely say"

at any time in recent years.
Decisions are being made, from
the president on down, on an
impersonal and impartial basis
founded on college policy"
MIR. Phelps suggested that those
faculty members who had sharp
things to say about Mr.. Chand-
Ter were peeved because they
didn't have a say on who should
head the school.
I'm doing So" he said, "they
have manufactured a tissue of
innuendo, sarcasm and vindic-
tiveneSs unparalleled in the his
tory Of an American college"
Study Proposed

dent. called for a study by Gov.
