ATLANTA PEN LIFE FOUND . FAIRLY GOOD Paroled inmate Says Prisoners Assume Outer World Caste By Foster Eaton. UP Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1931, by UP) Atlanta, July 31.— (U.R) Life ini side the Atlanta Federial PenttenI tiary "isn’t so bad, after all,” a (paroled and entirely free former inmate told the United Press, in an interview marked by the unashamed readiness of the now rehabilitat-1 led man to talk incognito, j “The only kick I had was the in-1 lexcusably long time—four months I I — the authorities at Washington! jtook to act on my parole after the' local board recommended it,” he I said. "It takes time to get yourself i established, and I could have used those four months.” The Atlanta "pen" houses 3,950 men. according to its report for June. It received a total of 440 new prisoners, against only 351 men discharged that month. ItJs situated on the outskirts of the city, as apart from the life of Atlanta as though it were in another state. Prison Caste I “How the men who enter that place like to ‘blow their own horn’ for the benefit of their new-found! associates," this former inmate: said. "It is, perhaps, inevitable that : men should slip into thejr respec- ! tice casts, even in prison. Men con ! I tided of bank speculations, wheth- : er justly or not, seldom associate, for example, with men convicted of: lesser crimes.” All of the "big shots" of recant: : years, the prominent men who have ■ been sent to Atlanta to atone for! • crimes that held first page attention . throughout the nation, were! 'personally known to this man. who! • served his time during the warden-' ■ships of John W. Snook, since re-1 I moved, and A. C. Aderholt, Snook’s I successor. "What was one of the incidents that made all hands laugh while you were there?” he was asked. A hearty laugh, prompted by recollection, greeted the question. "Well, there were about 150 of us living in a dormitory, under one | of the cell tiers,” he said. “It was Jairiy Comfortable down there, with ! Individual cots. The place was about 300 feet long. Radio Racket “One of the men had a radio, and ! used to run a little racket by rent-1 ing out the thing by running wires' to individual telephone head-sets i at the men’s cots. At times th re I were as many as 25 cots hooked in on that thing, at a carton of cigar-1 etes a month. “There was a little bootlegger from —— in the crowd, and there also was a man who was of a theatrical turn of mind. Another owned a portable broadcasting outfit. ' and without telling anyone but the | radio owner, hooked in in on the i circuit, at the far end of the room. "This particular night a program | was in progress for the bootleg-' ger’s home town. Station ‘ABC.’! Suddenly the portable radio was' switched in, the theatrical man 1 quietly picked up the program him-! self, from the far end of the room, and announced the Bootlegger s | name. Testimonial Banquet “‘All of his friends are gather-j ing tomorrow night at a great testi-i menial banquet to this man. whose : trip to Atlanta we all so deeply re-! gret. It will be a great blow-out"; I the pseudo-announcer said. "The secret was good for another I 21 hours, and 'tomorrow night' station ’ABC” came in again with a ' bang. “The announcer graphically de- , i scribed the banquet hall, and the • j prominent guests as they arriv'd. .There were the mayor, the editor I |of the foremost newspaper in the | | town, even the prosecuting attor-! | ney who had sent that bootlegger 1 Jdown here. | " We very much regret we haven’t , a suitable photograph of ,’ the; I announcer said, 'as this eve;if! should have proper publicity. We ; hope he is listening in. and will •s> nd us a picture of himself at [once.’ Phoney Photograph | “It was a great banquet, and the ! little bootlegger lay hack on his cot, ; glorying in the spotlight. The next morning he went to the warden and requested a- picture be tak< n immediately. A bogus camera was

brought into play, without plates, < land the bottlegger was put through I his spaces. j "The following night the 'an- • bouncer' began as usual, but broke ■ off in the middle of anoth r testii menial to tell the little bootlegger just what a big sap we all tliink you are.' "His jaw fell open a foot!” Most of the prominent men sent to the penitentiary are "very drmocratlc," the former inmate said. ! In many little ways they aid the ! less educated Inmates in pushing their cases up to the authorities. “Don't use any of the names 1 I have mentioned,” he said. “These | men are now back in civil life, some of-them trying to come back. 'lt wouldn't be fair, would it?” -j LOS ANGELES 1 MAY REMOVE BUNKER HILL Plan Proposed To Level 30 Blocks In Heart Os City Los Angeles, July 31. —(U.R)—lmagine dirt, enough to solidly fill 14 city blocks 100 feet high, being moved out of town on street cars. That is what Los Angeles is preparing to do if it adopts a $27,000,-1 000 plan to remove "Bunker Hill,”i a huge mound rearing its crest in! the downtown district. A hindrance to traffic and the! • growth of the commercial section •of Los Angeles, Bunker Hill fester- 1 ed so long that citizens persuaded! ■the city council and the county a supervisors to remove this canker. 11 Trimming 30 Blocks The huge task of slicing off 30 • ■ blocks of territory and regrading i jit to provide an approximate level' I with the surrounding district at I I first seemed to be an impossible' one, but with aid of modem engineering equipment it was found' |feasible, provided the project could! • be finance'd. All that the city fathers of Los | Angeles are waiting for now is a financial Croesus who can suggest • a plan whereby a bond issue — I which would place Los Angeles'; bonded indebtedness beyond all j lawful limits—can be avoided. One proposal has been made that trust : certificates or some other form of 1 security not carrying an obligation lot fixed debt service be adopted. Because the task was adjudged i Ito be too great for private enterprise, it has been recommended that j public funds and public supervis- • ion be used in the demolition. There are 43 actual city blocks [occupied by the hill; of these 30 are to be regraded if plans are carried out. At the highest point Bunker Hill is 140 fret high. Smallest Cost » Although the excavation of the! 8,800,000 cubic yards of dirt is esti- 1 mated to cost only $4,576,000, the initial expense of acquiring the territory is high, being calculated' at $22,333,532. | However, since only the lower | half of the hill is of any immediate! use, it is planned to "purchase it I for $14.0X2,528 and remodel that [section first. At present 29 per cent of this is ‘ covered by office buildings, 16 per I 'cent by stores. 14 per cent by hoi tels, lo per cent by lofts, 7 per cent) iby department stores, 5 per cent' !by garages and parking stations, I the remainder by miscellaneous en-i : t erprises. Since it is just north of the heart' [of the busin'ss district, its values are somewhat affected by property! ivalues there, statisticians who com-. ! piled the figures declared. Should Los Angeles attempt this ; projett it will be following in the ! steps of Seattle, Wash.: Milwaukee,! Wis.. and other cities that have I found it necessary to change their | [natural contours to make way forjl • natural growth. i| | Washington Trees Told Own Olympia, Wash.— (U.R)- Noticeable ■ depletions in Washington's standing timber supplies apparently ! were not made in recent years, according to r< ports of forestry officials. It was found that 65 to 90 I per cent of the trees furnished free to Washington citizens during 1930 were used for windbreaks and shelter holts. In most sections of |the country, voting trees are used to supplant those logged. L 0 I Descendants Work Old Loom I Paris. (U.R) Three girls, descen- I dants of Evangeline and her Arcad-,1 lan relatives, are at work on a loom I made more than 200 years ago, •

called “Evangeline," and now ex l liibited at the French Colonial Ex- ! position in the Louisiana exhibit of I
