But I should have told the man if he didn’t like Washington, why didn't he get out? No one was holding him.

NEW YORK, June 16—It is most comforting to learn that the State of New Jersey has solved the problem of sex offenders by remanding them
harsher hands of the jailer. ~The offender is to be released when a special reviewing board finds him, her, or it, capable of “making an acceptable social adjustment in the community.” The new law, just signed by Gov. Alfred Driscoll, also permits a person to request state psychia es himself capable “ot “becoming el "eriminal ‘bec ai a
mental condition.
- About Some Releasees
I HAVE a few clips in front of me. . One is about an innocent bystander ‘who was stabbed by a stranger, one Robert Cannon, on a whini, Mr, Cannon had recently been released from a state mental hospital. He stabbed Herbert Schwenk to death because he felt like stabbing somebody to death. 3 Another says that the father of a woman slain by an insane husband is suing the State of New York for $100,000. The state is being sued because the dead woman's father the murderer was released prematurely from Matteawan Hospital for the Criminally Insane. . Another has to do with a youth named Willie. Poor Willie was diagnosed as frustrated when he was released from Matteawan. He was a frustrated whittler. A few days after he was sprung by the psychiatrists, Willie found a carving knife. He unfrustrated himself by stabbing four people to death on a sunny Sunday afternoon. His former keepers said he had readjusted himself well enough to be turned loose. - A man who raped and murdered a WAF sergeant used as a defense the allegation that he “never had a home” and, anyhow, he was drunk. Robert Irwin, the mad slayer who knocked off three, in a fit of pique, as a method of combating a latent homosexuality, had been under treatment by a top psychiatrist named Wertham for several years. Wertham later wrote a book about abnormal murder. An amateur child psychiatrist hecome 56 in-

Vet, 19; slays widow. Boy, 17, kills childhood sweetheart. Every hour on the hour, some mental misfit kills or violates an innocent bystander. These we will cure with psychiatry? And turn loose after a jury of tired state employees say they're okay to run around again? Willie, who killed four strangers, was sprung as hale and Irwin ran loose against the prediction own doc that he would bust out and massacre some people some day. On the sex-offender side of the ledger, you will generally learn that the apprehended rape-! murderer oF chifd-torturer -has—been up repeatedly | for similiar offenses—and let off with a sermon and a slap.

RFC Can’t Win
WASHINGTON, June 16 — Even I am beginning to feel a little sorry for America's mightiest financial institution, the Reconstruetion Finance Corp. No matter what this fiscal behemoth does, it's wrong. Jesse Jones, its one-time head, thinks it ought to be killed off. Former President Hoover believes it should be a part of the Treasury Department. President Truman insists it %e turned into a Bureau of the Commerce Department. . And for weeks on and off I have been writing pieces (snide pieces, according to friends of the RFC) about this multi-billion dollar corporation lending the taxpayers’ money to such enterprises as juke box factories, snake farms, egg dryers, inventors of widgets to do away with carbon papers, and cactus nurseries with mistletoe departments for the New Year's kissing trade.
‘Careless’ Money Hondling
MOST OF THESE dispatches originated in Room 301 of the Senate Office building, sanctum of the Banking Committee, where Sen. J. William Fulbright (D. Ark.) claimed the RFC was too danged careless the way it tossed our money “ground. He seated ‘the directors of the ¢corporation around his big mahogany table and made ‘em squirm with revelations about their bum investments in an incredible assortment of ‘“businesses.” So: I have just left this same Room No. 301 where the same officials of the same corporation were squirming around the same enormous-—table. Only this time the Senate Small Business Committee was lambasting 'em for being too tight with their money and making it too hard for deserving businessmen to get loans. The day before Director Harvey Gunderson was defending himself for his confidence with hard cash in the rattlesnake business (it went bankrupt); now he was trying to prove he was not, either, a

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D. Minn.) insisted that one of his constituents had a $100,000 contract to manufacture stuff for the Army, but can’t get started because he needs $15,000 for his first month’s payroll and needs it now. The RFC won't give it to him. “If he can’t get this little squirt of government grease,” the Senator said, “he’s sunk,” Mr. Gunderson gave the gentleman from Minnesota an elementary lesson in the loan busi-! ness’ You can’t lend a man money on the) strength of a contract he has to make something | because -he-may. botch- the job and never collect. a dime, Mr. Gunderson said.

Running From Room to Room
AND IF IT gets much more liberal in its policies, he went on, it won't be making loans at all, but gifts. With that he scrammed. He had| to beat it down the hall to another committee, which also was investigating the RFC. There he met other officials of the corporation, scurrying from room to room, explaining to Senators. My guess is that not much business got done this day at the marble-fronted headquarters of America’s greatest ‘lending agency. The clerks were] too busy getting up statements for their harried bosses in the senatorial hot seats.
