Similar control over new personnel was pledged other state departments. The governor inspected the reformatory’s farm, paint shop, flour mill, stone quarry, canning plant, furniture factory and woolen mill. The latter is to be closed because it loses money and more space will be devoted to furniture production. A slaughter house also is planned by spring. Craig was told the reformatory’s operating expenses averaged $2.20 per injiiaG daily, se ; : problems arise because some men are confined two to a cell, men serving longer terms are the best risk. 9.5 pei- cent of the parolees are returned as violators, and about one-fourth of the inmate population has below a fourth grade education. Next week, the governor will inspect the state prison at Michigan City. -Reed Opposes would cost the Treasury about 3 billion dolars and run the government still further into the red. Rep Richard M.

His formula called foi adjustments io both corps irate and excise tax rates but would retain existing levies on liquoi and tobacco. Mr. Eisenhower’s tax program also included an endorsement of Reed’s program to make many reciskms in existing tax laws which, though minor, would cost the treasury about $1,500,000,000 a year. This recommendation delighted Reed, but he kept silent >n the President’s other proposals. Dean Farber Is Chapel Speaker Speaking at a DePauw chapel yesterday in Qobin Church.
