Such is the case with Win- nie Ruth Judd. trunk slayer. ‘While such post-mortem reason- ing does not serve as a preventive of crime, it does provide helpful explanations of lawless violence and may, in time, with the all- important co-operation of far-see- ing legislators, segregate the crim- inally inclined and guard not only others but themselves from their dangerously uncontrollable na- tures. The most recent and particu- larly gruesome case to bring crim- inologists to the fore with interest- ing theories brought out this state- ment from Clara Parsons, head of the criminal identification bureau, New York State Department of Corrections: “Winnie Ruth Judd's first words, ‘I am not guilty, might have been anticipated from the eyes.

C. Nov. 12— A survey of. all national forests having waterpower value wil be un- dertaken by the Forest Service. Its purpose is to determine the location and power capacity of these lands. The service hopes to provide a basis for long-term planning in the administration of such land. T. W. Norcross, chief engineer, said it has been estimated that the national forests include one-fourth of the power resources of the United States, but this estimate may be wrong because of lack of basic information. He added tha water power is only one of the forests’ resources and where use of land for power development conflicts with develop- ment of roads, railroads, recreation, logging or other uses, it is essential to consider posible adjustments looking to utalization for more than one purpose.
