THE HOOSIER DAY By FRANK A. WHITE
MICHIGAN CITY - It is too bad that all my readers could not share in person my brief' stay in the Indiana State Prison. A separate world, grim and tragic, lies with the average’of 2,511 human beings who live behind the grim walls of tlie state prison. Today's trip was made with the members of the Penal Affairs Committee of House and Senate of the 94th Legislature. Rep. Wayne Townsend (D-Upland)' a farmer, is chairman of the House Committed, and Wilfrid J. LTrich. >DAurora', pharmacist and drug store owner, is chairman of thp. Senate Committee. »? ' Committee members spent some five hours in intense briefing and there were no closed doors or unanswered questions. They toured the institution all the way to’ the death row where six await death in the electric • chair. ... The public of Indiana knows so, i little about the real prison story and i there is so little to do, so much that i needs to be done. Speaking of the overall failure of i our prisons to rehabilitate criminal i behavior, outgoing Gov. Matthew E. Welsh once said: i “The people’of Indiana have been I unwilling to invest in correctional in- ! stitutions. the funds necessary to emi ploy the trained specialists, to purchase the equipment, to create the living and working conditions that would give promise of success in rehabilitation”. Here is a brief 'typewriter sketch ' of Warden Ward Lane of the Indiana I State Prison. He is physically a “magnificent hunk of humanity", standing over six feet tall and'built accordingly. He speaks with surprising quiet tones but in a moving way. He gives me the impressmn of being sad. Perhaps we too would be if it fell to our responsibility to keep over 2.500 human beings in maximum security and send some to eternity with a flip of an electric switch. WARDEN LANE recalls that his Another, es * by a house full of boys, would sometimes say: “I will be glad when you-all get 21 and ..are in the penitentiary". He will tell you that only an understanding mother, teacher, and one .or two friends enabled him to become a warden of a prison instead of an inmate. . He said: “When I became a prison guard at the Indiana Reformatory in 1934. two- things were required. One was that I be big enough physically to whip any inmate and the other was my politics. (Lane was Reformatory Superintendent under Governor Henry F. ■ Schricker in. his two terms and then ; left for a period to go with General Motors.-He was'recalled .to be Indilana State Prison Warden by Gov. Welsh). LANE SAID: “When I started as a [.guard in 1934, the order of the day was to ‘treat ’em rough and tell 'em nothing'. It was not uncommon to see an employe and an inmate.fighting. settling ah' issue by brute force. To be caught talking to an ipmate if you were not the chaplain or doctor • “There was ho educational pro- ; gram then worth the name and prisI oners deteriorated into mere vegetables. We have come a long way ■ and there is a long way toi go. At jhur Campbell. Corrections Commissioner who spent a lifetime as a .schoolman, has done more ithan any ! living person to upgrade Indiana ‘.prisons and give hope to inmates. 1 “We work against terrific handifotag the best we can with ■a hat we have. For instance, the 1959 As.'emh'.y gave us a vocational building. but no equipment or instructors. We have used donated equipment. We have won highest prai e from auto concenis as to the quality fra:ning we give”. Lane does not pull punches. He has said: “This place is a moni strocity. Like other prisons it is a ; training school for crime. There are i too many men here who shouldn’t be' ? here. The makeup and size of the population, the of budget, and problems inherent to a maximum security prison, combine to -make a realistic rehabilitation program difficult”’. .

Why Germ-Free Chicks?
— ( I I „ jSrt y 1 UM J. V
Germ-free eggs placed fa this sterile plastic “incubator” hatch chicks which grow faster. Why? Because disease organisms in normally raised chicks hold back maximum growth. The project here? Scientists at the Agricultural Research Center of the American Cvanamid Company. Princeton, N.J., are studying the mode of action of antibiotics in stimulating growth. They are probing the relationships between disease and nutrition, isolating disease-causing organisms from normal chicks to find out which ones depress growth. They inject a specific pathogenic organism or combination? of organisms into germfree chicks and screen new compounds that appear promising for control Os these pathogens. Overall goal of such germfree . research — to help the feed industry and farmers produce better poultry meat and eggs more efficiently at greater profit. The broiler industry is also attempting to make use of a similar germ-free concept these days as they move toward greater acceptance of PPLOfree chicks. These are chicks

’A L' ***’ thht/are free of the one pathogenic type of pleufopneumon ialike-organism, called S-6 (Mycoplasma gallisepticum). This organism- is responsible for the bulk of chronic respiratory disease in broilers —a disease causing heavy economic losses in Jie industry. While PPLO-free chicks represent one kind of important step in disease control, the poultryman continues to face problems from many important pathogens. The use of the broad spectrum antibiotic. Aureomycin, through feed and water medication, provides another means of insuring against losses from diseasecausing microorganisms. In the face of /narrowed profit margins poultrymen today must take every precaution, including the use of proper medication, to keep disease losses down and broiler and egg profits up.
