TIMES PRISON REFORM PLAN WINS SUPPORT Leaders Back Proposal to Put Jail Officers Under Civil Service. (Continued from Page Onrl central setup that not only would control the various state and county Institutions, but also would enable the operation of a uniform system. There are so many really bad criminals in local jails whose activities are state-wide that they are too dangerous to be left in small county jails with poor equipment, such as at Noblesviile. There ought to be some authority that would have immediate power to transfer such prisoners to a stronger building. This probably could be brought about with a central penal board as suggested. Monvignor Mauriee F. O’Connor • St. Joan of Arc's Roman Catholic church)—l think that Governor McNutt did a very good thing m bringing the board of penal experts into the state recently to make a study of the prisons. Everything pertaining to prisons should be nonpartisan and done for the purpose of helping the unfortunates who are in our institutions. The whole thing should be taken out of politics entirely. Mayor Reginald 11. Sullivan—l think the idea is a good one. I hadn't thought of it before, but on first impression it seems like a good suggestion, and it seems that something of the sort ought to be presented to the next legislature. Rihnp Joseph M. Francis fAll Saints Episcopal cathedral—'Something must be done about the penal sjstem in the state. The situation is very serious. A study must be made at once to determine what is the best course of action. I am not sure, without more mature deliberation, that the idea proposed by The Times is best. Nevertheless, the study should be made and a recommendation presented to the Governor. Jessie Levy iattorney)—For more than fourteen years I have contended that the penal system of Indiana should be under a nonpartisan central control system. It is the only solution to the disgraceful conditions now prevailing jn our state clue to the many recent e-capes of criminals. Appointment of such a commission as proposed by The Times is the first step necessary to remedy this terrible condition. By all means the deputy wardens and other officials should be appointed solely through merit. Civil service must takp the place of the political spoils system if we are to remove this blemish from the fair name of our state. Otto De I-use < manufacturer!— I The penal system of Indiana should be studied immediately. I think the particular angle suggested by The Times should be considered first to find some means of preventing these wholesale jail deliveries. Or. Charles Meyers (city hospital superintendent! Anything that could be done to remedy the present situation would be a distinct advantage. I feel that a central board, such as suggested, would be a step in the right direction. State, county and municipal penal systems most certainly should be divorced from politics. Chief Mike Morrissey—The way things are happening in jails throughout the state it seems to me that something must be done. I think The Times' plan a good one but I think the whole penal system should be studied here before anything definite is adopted. One of the real problems the sheriffs have to contend with is that they are undermanned. We have been fortunate in the jails of this city recently but our prisoners are escaping from other jails in the state. Flmer F.. Taflinger 'artist and teacher* —It's a pretty good idea especially since most of the boys in our jails have taken to reading Oscar Wilde and his memorable lines . . iron bars do not a prison make . . It seems as if jail-breaking is getting to be a habit and a man can't even rut curtainrods in half with a hacksaw without being accused of practicing up for a personal delivery in case he's caught. One thing your civil service jail wardens could do would be to put prisoners to chopping wood for the poor instead of carving it out for pistols. Kenneth XV. Collin-* (manager Apollo theater*—l think that The Times’ proposal is a marvelous idea. I think that it would do a lot to alleviate jail breaks. Conditions at our Indiana institutions are bad and something must be done in a hurry. Taul C. Wetter (attorney*— In view of the conditions in Indiana we certainly need something. If this idea proposed by The Times j is the best solution let's have it by ; all means. Paul C- Stetson t schools superintendent i—While not familiar with j the plan in detail and not desiring to exclude other plans that might better this plan in general I feel it is a step in the rieht direction. It seems that any plan that will take the corrective institutions out of j politics and place them on a merit system is decidedly superior to our j present system. John F. Darmodv -president J. F. Darmodv Candy Co.*—lf we put in the proper legislators we will get the proper laws needed to correct the present situation. Too much influence us broucht to bear now on our public officials as well as legis- j lators. Wardens under your proposed plan for jails, placed under civil service, would know that they could stay on the job and would be * more apt to do the right thing in that job. I.euis J. Borinstein < president ot Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce) —The studies now being made under the direction of the Governor of welfare functions of our govern- 1 ment are evidences of the need for reorganization. This constitutes one of the really important issues now before our citizens. I am pleased to hear of the proposal made by The Indianapolis Times. It will undoubtedly contribute much to the development of the final plan of reorganization. There u much merit m the suggestion. '

'Singing Church’ Will Mark Second Birthday

William F. Kugel and Dr. Warren W. Wiant

The -Singing Church”—That was the dream of Dr. Warren W. Wiant of the North M. E church at Thir-ty-eighth and North Meridian streets. Tomorrow that ' dream'’ will be a year old in real life: One year ago. the pastor and official board of the North M. E. church brought William F. Kugel to thp Indianapolis church, as ’'minister of music.” The idea was to get everybody to sing, young and old, by creating not only one choir but many choirs, as well as giving voice lessons to all those who desired them. Last year. 125 were enrolled in the four regular choirs of the church and 136 in choruses that sang on special occasions, making a total of 261 persons who trained themselves to take part in the church music.

•LOGIC OF SOLOMON’ HELPS JUDGE AWARD CUSTODY OF BOY, 4

By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla., Aug. 25—The logic of King Solomon in the legendary case of the two women who claimed to be the mother of the same child today had decided possession of a 4-year-old boy, center of a strange controversy. Judge George Henshaw late vesterday ruled James Baldwin, legal father of Mrs. Betty Burton Baldwin's 4-year-old son and entitled to custody of him. Mrs. Baldwin had asked custody on the grounds that her first husband, B. E. Burton, not Baldwin, was the father. Baldwin claimed parentage, saying he married Mrs. Baldwin after the child was born. The Baldwins are also divorced. “The acts of the alleged father. Burton, do not appeal to me,” Judge Henshaw said. “He let the child be given up to the mother at the time of the Burton • divorce. How a father could sacrifice rights, control and custody of a fine, little boy is beyond this court. Besides, the boy looks like the Baldwins.” 23,000 DEER AWAIT CALIFORNIA NIMROOS Each Hunter Allowed 2 BuJks Per Season. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.—California hunters are drawing a fin# “bead” on 23,000 deer within state preserves this season.

Each hunter is allowed two bucks per season, in all but one of the twenty-three counties where they are obtainable. Only one buck is allowed in Modoc county. Officials of the state division of fish and game estimate that there are nearly 400,000 deer in the state. The season closes at sundown, Sept. 14.

DIGGER INDIANS WERE ONCE GREAT ARTISTS Collection in Utah Proves Fine Workmanship. By United Press SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Aug. 25. —The Digger Indians of California may now be known as the "dirt eaters,” but once they were great artists. A collection of their basket w r ork, of intricate weave and design, is owned by John S. Bransford, of Salt Lake City. The items were collected by Mrs. Bransford during the 'Bo's in Plumas county, California. Most of the pieces in the collection were made before the coming of the white man to California.

LA FOLLETTE LOOKS AHEAD INjPLATFORM 'Young Bob,’ Seeking Senate Post as Independent, Shows Way. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.—A commanding figure—bristling pompadour, fiery eyes, a voice ringing witn passionate concern, feet that stood square and solid—used to rise before Republican national conventions and present a platform of principles. Always it was voted down. This was, for years, a regular ceremony, always picturesque because the late Senator Robert Marion La Follette of Wisconsin was a colorful figure. But "Fighting Bob” La Follette always inspired respect and attention, even among those who disagreed violently with him. The shrewd always studied his declaration of principles—the “Wisconsin” platform—for by it they could divine the course of political and economic events. He moved ahead of the procession. Sooner or later, they knew that the crowd would catch up with him and party documents would include, as their own, bit by bit, here and there, commitments to the things for which the Wisconsin senator had stood years before. Security for Individual For this reason, among others, the program just enunciated by his son—still called familiarly “Young Bob”—in his independent candidacy for the senate in Wisconsin is considered peculiarly interesting here. Young Bob, like his father, marches ahead of the crowd. A stanch supporter in the senate of the New Deal philosophy of President Roosevelt, he looks to the future and takes a position on many issues in advance of the man he chose to follow as President. The young senator calls for economic security for those who toil in industry through unemployment insu’ ir.ee, old age pensions, and for the farmer and home-owner he demands security in the possession of his farm and his home. To absorb the still large army of unemployed, increase purchasing power and stimulate business and industry, he asks a huge program of public works. Until such a program can be put under way he advocates elevation of government relief to “a decent level.” To give the people control of the instrumentalities of credit he recommends a government-owned central bank. Urges U. S. Rail Ownership In taxation, he would apply the principle of ability to pay, and dig into the pockets of the wealthy to contribute to the social betterment of those less fortunately situated—a movement he began, with some initial success, in the last congress. He abhors the sales tax as a means of raising revenue because it bears upon the rank and file. He would have the government own the railroads and extend to all power projects its operation now of a few. The government should undertake immediately development of the St. Lawrence-Great Laker waterway, despite the opposition of “the bankers and the power trust,” he says. SLAUGHTER IS PLANNED Cattle from Drought Area to Be Shipped Here. Two hundred head of cattle from the drought-stricken areas o fthe west will be slaughtered by A.

Indiana in Brief

By Times Special FRANKLIN, Aug. 25.—Damages of $20,000 for the deaths of his Bisters, Misses Pauline and Wilma Wheatcraft, is asked by Leland Wheatcraft, administrator of their estates, in a suit on file in Johnson circuit court.
