IMPETUS GIVEN STERILIZATION, SURVEY SHOWS Six Legislatures Considering Bills: Movement Begun in Indiana. By t nit'4 /V. CHICAGO. March I—American legislators apparently are convinced that sexual sterilization is the path toward a better race. Sterilization of the physically or mentally unlit and misfit has received the greatest impetus in currently meeting Legislatures since Indiana introduced state eugenics into the United Spates i n 1907. Six state legislatures are - ering bills ? hat would join them with the 27 commonwealths that now authorize sterilization of undesirable human stock. Favorable action already has been taken by three of them. Three more states are planning to strengthen and broaden laws that have proved their worth by application. Habitual criminals, mental defective and epileptics will be liable to compulsory sterilization in 29 states by the time present Legislatures adjourn if visible sentiment in legislative halls is carried to roll calls. Georgia May Fall in Line Georgia. Tennessee and Texas are the states most likely to join the movement next month A Georgia committee recommended passage of a bill modeled on California c existing law a Tennessee House committee did likewise and committees of both houses approved bills submitted in Texas. Alabama's House health committee recommended adoption of a law pending in both houses to widen applications of a !2-ypar-oid statute applying to the congenitally insane. The Oklahoma Senate passed a measure to make sterilization of third-term convicts general. The California Legislature has a bill in committee that would correct defects in a law under which apnroximately 10.000 inmates of state n.stitutlons already have been sterilized. Colorado. Illinois and New York legislators have bills before them but have not acted. ppeal Provided For Figm s compiled today by the American Leg’Mators Association rescaled that more than 20.000 persons have been deprived of the power of procreation m American institutions since 1907. There are no records of the number sterilized by private and state physicians outside the institutions. California, one of the first states to adopt sterilization for sexually perve.-ied criminals, accounted for more than half the total. Official figures, available onlv to Jan. 1, 1933. showed 8504 operations; Virginia with 1333, and Oregon with 882 The "average** state sterilization statute, according to the United States Law Week, enables superintendent* of state institutions to cause sterilization of any Insane, feeble-minded, epileptic or socially diseased inmate if they believe it "be t for the interests of the individual and society.'* In mast states the patient or his guardian is given recourse in an appeal to a state board of control MOTORIZED REVIEW IS SCHEDULED AT FORT Post Commander to Take Ceremony at F.vent Tomorrow.
