SEVENTY STATE JAILS UNSAFE, DECLARES COY Whole System Antiquated, Contends Secretary to Governor McNutt. ’Continued from Page One) ment. The county funds won't permit them to employ adequate assistants. In many instances the .sheriff is forced to pay his deputies salaries from his own modest income. It's a question of money. A state police official commented hat it would be money well spent when the cost of the DiHinger manhunt, at least $500,000, is considered. Similar to Commission Plan Mr. Coy pointed out that the plan for improving the state penal system proposed Saturday by The Times is almost identical with a proposal recently made by Governor McNutt’s special commission on public welfare which inspected penal institutions in the state. The Times plan proposed supervision of all state penal and correctional institutions, and all county Jails by a nonpartisan central state penal board, the members of which will be named under civil service rules. Section of wardens, their deputies and other responsible prison and jail officials would be through civil service examination conducted by the state board, thereby removing all positions from political control. Governor McNutt's special commission failed, however, to recommend control of county jails by the nonpartisan board, although Sanford Bates, member of the commission and director of the United States bureau of prisons made such a suggestion, it was learned. Indorsed hy Civic leaders Scores of prominent Indianapolis persons have indorsed The Times proposal. While Mr. Coy s explanation unquestionably is the cause of jailbreaks from county institutions because of unsafe buildings and inadequate personnel, this situation does not apply to the Indiana state prison at Michigan City, according to penal experts. Even the contemplated building expenditure of $324,000 at the state prison and the Indiana reformatory to halt wholesale prison deliveries will not solve the problem, penal experts asserted. Erection of new guard towers, installation of electric lighting systems on the walls, fireproofing of the prison buildings and other improvements undoubtedly will help, but it will not solve the problem. 'Strong bars do not a prison make.” becomes something more than the oft-quoted verse of a Cavalier poet when Attorney-General Phillip Lutz Jr. admits that his office has “practically proven” that Dillmger paid SIO,OOO to effect his escape from the Crown Point jail; when rumors of bribery and graft persist at Michigan City; when official reports on prison escapes cite suspicious "negligence" on the part of officials. The Times’ slogan in the campaign to clean the disgraceful condition of Indiana jails and prisons is; “Take the state penal system out of politics.” GRAND JURORS OPEN CO-ED SLAYING PROBE Special Session Called to Study Alabama Evidence.

$1,213,878 PROFIT MADE BY FARMERS WITH U. S. LOANS

Indiana farmers who took advantage of facilities of the Commodity Credit Corporation to obtain loans on stored corn are rejoicing today. Corn was quoted at 76 cents on the Chicago market, an increase of 42 cents over the price on Feb. 15, date of the first loan. Basing this increase on the 2,890,187 bushels sealed in corn cribs under supervision of the state weights and measures department, which was given such authority by Governor Paul V. McNutt to enable loans to be made by the Commodity Credit Corporation, it means a profit of $1,213,878 to the farmers who shared in the Indiana corn loan, authorities said.

SCHALL ISSUES NEW ROOSEVELT ATTACK Minnesotan Answers President’s Rebuke. By United Pn ss WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Thomas D. Schall ißep.. Minn.), demonstrated today that he considered his attacks on President Roosevelt for fostering a press censorship far from a "closed incident” today by issuing anew and even more fiery charge. He addressed another letter to ihe White House in response to a blunt telegram from the President in which Mr. Roosevelt said he considered the matter a “closed incident” because Schall replied with a “vituperative two-page letter” when the President asked him for evidence to back up a charge that the administration planned to set up a national press service. Arthur Markel, deputy international president of the Commercial Telegraphers’ union made public today a letter to Schall in which he said “if the unspeakable claptrap contained in your two letters to the President of the United States is the best evidence you have in support of your charge. Minnesota had better get busy.”

4,120,000 PUT BACK TO WORK, RICHBERG SAYS Employment and Business Gains Under New Deal Are Cited. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—Donald R. Richberg today presented President Roosevelt with a chart of employment and business gains under the New Deal, showing that the first sixteen months had put 4.120.000 persons back to work and boosted business profits. The campaign year summary of NRA and PWA benefits declared the unemployment battle was far from won but reported that: 1. NRA shorter-hour codes provided 2.230.000 jobs. 2. New jobs from March, 1933, to the creation of NRA aggregated 1,800.000. 3. PWA projects are providing employment for 625,000 persons, but these neither were definitely allocated tc nor excluded from the foregoing 4,120,000. Factory Pay Rolls Gain 4. Manufacturing pay rolls increased from $96,000,000 in June, 1933, to $132,000,000 in June, 1934. 5. Business failures principally small businesses—decreased 40 per cent February to March 1934, compared with a like period in 1929. 6. Corporate profits rose from a deficit figure of 6.9 in the first quarter of 1933 to if profit figure of 33.2 in the second quarter of 1934. 7. Approximately 95 per cent of all industrial workers are covered by NRA codes, providing higher wages and shorter working hours. 8. Ninety-nine out of every 100 counties has at least one PWA project. 9. Living costs have gone up slightly faster than the individual worker’s pay. 10. Industry was employing 40,180,000 persons in June of this year. Urges PWA Extension The report dealt with industrial unemployment relief through private enterprise (NRA), and public works. It was prepared by Mr. Richberg as secretary of the executive council. Buried in the report was announcement that PWA Administrator Harold L. Ickes had recommended legislation to continue PWA at least until 1937. That is two years beyond the date set by Mr. Roosevelt for the country to begin living within its income. Mr. Ickes has $35,000,000 left of his $3,700,000,000 appropriation. Today’s report is the first of seven for presentation to Mr. Roosevelt by mid-September as the congressional campaign enters its final stage. The reports, providing New Deal candidates with ammunition, will present: Agricultural relief; relief of destitution; relief of financial pressure; advance in public services; administrations services, and promotion of foreign trade. 7,000,000 Still Jobless The employment statistics of various agencies are not correlated and the aggregate of new jobs listed is well above 5.300.000. Mr. Richberg said the figures were impressive evidence of continued unemployment. Unofficial estimates place the jobless at 7.000,000 to 10,000,000. Labor’s share in the national income was reported up from 58.3 in June, 1933, to 62.5 in June, 1934. Mr. Richberg said June living costs had increased 9.6 per cent, while the weekly wage increased only 8.5 per cent. The work week in all industry has been reduced in June by six hours to an average of thirty-seven hours, he said. Average wages increased 26 per cent to 55.2 cents an hour. Mr. Richberg claimed the wage increase was due directly to NRA codes. American Federation of Labor membership increased by 2,000,000, and the number of trade associations of employers more than doubled. Mr. Richberg’s report was based on material from various federal agencies. TWO KILLED IN WRECK State Youths Die When Auto Crashes Into Bridge. By United Press SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Aug. 27.

‘Outline of Governments’ Is Excellent New Book

Roger Shaw's Current Text Should Be Valuable to Students. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Times News Editor A valuable addition to the libraries of all students of foreign affairs, both amateur and professional, is the newly published “Outline of Governments,” written by clever, able Roger Shaw, foreign editor of the Review of Reviews. Mr. Shaw's “Outline of Governments” is a terse, comprehensive review of the government setups, physical aspects, and history of every country under the sun. Not noted for verbosity, Mr. Shaw has done a marvelous piece of work in putting together the fundamental features of each country into as few words as possible. The book (212 pp.) is aptly divided into its basic sections. First comes an introduction, containing a review of world organizations, a chapter titled “Vanishing Monarchs,” another labeled “Democracy versus Dictatorship,” a short well-handled sum-up of world religions, another on world languages, and a list of noteworthy battles. Pokes Fun at U. S. Included in the introduction is a plea for proportional representation in government, accompanied by pointed examples. ( Under the North American section, Mr. Shaw reviews the United States, Canada, Newfoundland, Mexico, Cuba, West Indian states, and the Central American states. Following comes the sections South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Antipodes. Young Mr. Shaw pokes gentle but subtle and dignified fun at the United States governmental arlangement. He has done admirably in keeping his book on the “human interest” side of the ledger and the volume: is amazingly easy to read, a blessing in books concerning world affairs. Drops in Sly Humor He is not above bringing in sly humor and paints his word pictures with a deft accuracy. Referring to Sweden, the author drops an offhand remark about “The king, as in other democratic monarchies, is primarily a national pet.” He defines Monaco as a “plutocratic baccarat trust,” and mentions Albania in magnificent fashion. “Albanians,” he writes, “are magnificent warriors and there is an Albanian army of 14,000 men—not to mention a navy of six motorboats in the Adriatic.” Mr. Shaw’s book, however, is not at all a humorous work, and its levity in spots is refreshing. It is a well-turned study of nations and governments, the whole clear, terse and well-written. It is published by Review of Reviews.
