MICmGAN CITY, Ind, Dec. U. (UP) The man who has spent more yeans as a convict than any other ; livihg-inma&e- of the Indiana state prison "loves the world." Forty-two years -. behind the bars have not made him bitter, .prejudiced or dismayed. A youthful love' affair stacked the cards against William Jx Benson, when he was 16. He killed a Floyd: county fanner and was found guilty on charges of murder. Only one official. who handled the case, Prosecutor George Voigt, re- ; mains aUveV- - ..- iJenson was sentenced to die but the pleas of his mother won for him- a commutation to life sentence. - - . -..:..- -v. -;-"s White haired, stooped and cdrtenled, Benson labors in the prison kitchen. He never 3as seen an airplane. He never, has ridden, in. an automobile. Occasionally . he hears a radio but he- does not understand itl He" looks at rit with the same wonderment with which hie - re

gards other scientific inventions since he left . the "outside" world. But while the world moved forward at a; whirling pace, Benson strove to keep up inside the prison; arid has succeeded . in gaining a modest education. He Has spent; much time in the large prison 11' brary. His outlook on life has hecome charitable. : When he entered the institution ' he could neither read nor write. - He; now feels that the education which the prisan has given him has made his lifeworth while. In turn' -he' helpts other convicts who -.. are seeking an feduca-; tlon.; y ' A - Wh en Benson came to the prison he was given number 365. Now the numbers have passed the 15,000 mark; : .; ' " "'

Get Girls' Jobs in Rotne Shakeup

ROME, Dec. 14, (INS) The campaign against the -widespread employment of women instead of men in public and private business, bureaus was given sharp impetus here when Achille Starace, secretary of the Fascist -party, laid that a combing out of women and girls from offices connected with city governments would begin immediately; - The Fascist Syndicates of Operatives, Professions and Artists raised the question and demanded a thorough examination in government " bureaus, banks and insurance offices. They affirmed that many workless men -wanted the women's jobs because they had families to keep and this' winter would mean hardships to them. While they admitted, in principle the right of women to compete vith men in offices and other work the syndicate declared that thousands of . girls and women : now drawing pay which married men ought ito be getting had.' perfectly good homes where they could be useful to their parents and save money by taking the place of hired domestic !help. It- also was pointed out that many young women squandered their pay on luxuries and pleasures while married men could not give necessities to", their

There is to be a very careful scrutiny of all jobs held by women in the less important public bureaus and many of them will go. Other bureaus will come under ciC'Se investigation.' Banks and insurance " offices will be given instructions to employ as many men as possible and to fill up vacancies left by women on marriage, death or any other event, with men.
