PRESIDENT HOOVER PLANS ADDITIONAL PRISON FACILITIES Executive Is Aroused Over the Crowded Conditions at Fed- eral Penitentiaries Washington, Aug. 6.—(&)—Presi- dent Hoover has determined upon & Program to relieve overcrowded con- ditions in federal prisons which in- cludes @ request to congress for ad- ditional funds. The program contemplates an in- crease in appropriations of $5,000,000 for enlargement of the prisons at At- lanta, and Leavenworth and the con- struction of a new prison in the northeastern section of the country. Mr. Hoover has discussed the situ- ation at length with Attorney Gen- eral Mitchell and Sanford Bates, superintendent of federal prisons. This condition is regarded as the scause of demoralization and out- breaks of the prisoners. ‘The large prison population, it was said, was attributed to an increase in crime in general which caused the president to appoint the commission _ now making an inquiry into the law enforcement situation. Statistics which have been pre- sented to the president show 33 per cent of the prisoners at Leavenworth and Atlanta are serving terms for violations of the narcotic laws; 14 per cent for violations of the prohi- bition laws, and the remainder for other offenses. TEETH FOR KELLOGG PACT DEMANDED AT POLITICS INSTITUTE Willis J. Abbott Seeks Strength for Treaty to Force Iso- lation of War pact + were fired at the Institute of Pel- ities limitation of urmament round table today when W J, Abbott, contributing editor of the Christian Science Monitor, introduced a reso- lution of. “put teeth into” the pact, and Rear /dmiral William L. Rog- ers, U. S. N., launched an attack against his proposal. After stating the moral influence of the pact had been demonstrated by its efficacy in staying the re- cently threatened Chinese-Russian hostilities Abbott declared a further agreement was necessary to place upon nations the moral obligations of refraining from supporting war 4s well as from making war. He then introduced this resolu- tion: (1)—It shall be the declared pol- icy of the United States to withold exportation of armaments or muni- tions of war to any belligerent and such exportation shall be unlawful unless ¢ agress :t.all provide other- wise, (2)—It_ shall b> similarly unlaw- ful to make loans to any Sra! [eat nation without the consent of con- he id, “gives effect to the proposition that to support a war is just exactly as violative of the spirit of that pact as to engage in a war. “And if all parties to the contract would adopt a similiar piece of leg- iclation, it is obvious that any war- ting nation would be so isolated that Admiral Rogers, after declari: he sympathized with Mr. Abbott’ cbject of reducing the probability attacked the resolution as | method which would not get up as far on the end as the eld w tried method of diplomacy,” and vocated war as @ means of disturbance, should diplomacy fail. 175 Harvest Hands Says Chute Took Her 276 Miles t e Mary Daly, above, claims she jumped from @ plane 31,000 feet above Chi- cago And, with the aid of breezes and parachute, landed several hours| ter at Louisiana, Mo., 276 miles away.
