MONDAY, NOV. 29, 1937. records reveal an alarming increase in the ‘most horrible of criminal violations that exists —that of the degenerate’ attacks of filthy prison-bred reptiles upon the women and chil- dren of America. Women strangled, beaten by the rotten fists of degeneracy; their virtue assailed and their lives taken Innocent children lured into vacant houses, into de- serted basements, into unfrequented ravines, their bodies defiled and assaulted Lieut.

Stanley of {the Rockefeller Institute’s Princeton statfon reviewed |the present state of our knowledge of the mysterious |viruses which cause some plant diseases as well as infantile paraly: yellow fever, rabies and encepha- llitis. The review necessarily reflected his own im- ‘mensely valuable contributions to a subject which has baffled pathologists, biologists and chemists. | It was in 1935 that Dr. Stanley startled the world Five convicts who participateda in the riot at Fol- som Prison in California in September have been found guilty of first degree murder in the death of | the prison warden and the death penalty imposed Three of those involved are reported to have previ- received clemency which may give a ously parole hint of why so many criminals are turned loose on| society with the resulting increasing crime wave. Too easy parole, and too easy conditions in some of our prisons are major factors. J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation recently pointed out that records reveal nm[ 30 percent of the 13,493 most dangerous criminals | listed in the FBI files has been freed on parole from one to eight, nine and ten times. He went on to reveal further that, startling as it seems, there no such thing as a life prisoner. “The average man who receives a life sentence for murder spends only about ten years behind bars and average sentence served by a person convicted of murder is only sixty one months,” declared the FBI chief, and then he hit at what appears to be one glaring reasons why such things prison riots oceur, “even then, he usually is granted the benefits of a private radio, of the daily newspaper, sel magazines, the latest motion picture shows, orch tras, traveling bands, hand-decorated cells, baseball, handball, football, basketball, and any other amuse- ments which over-sympathetic and or prison boards may contrive to make prison more enjoyable “Many of our prisons today may as country clubs. Many are badly manned and ill-| kept, Others are hotbeds of vice and agitation. Many are Lasnly accessible to escape, 'like sieves thibugh which the rats placed in them many depart almost at will. Such procedure does not create roxppcl for law. T do not believe that the majesty of ju: appear in white and untrammelled garmen as such disgraceful, sentimental convict-coddling allowed to persist in our alleged penal institutions Mollycoddling of criminals must be halted. The pub- lic is in far more need of security for life and limb than convicted criminals are of clemency.” Hoover has hit the cause of increasing crime di- rectly on the head—too easy parole and too easy con- ditions within our prisons. It is a significant fact that in the vast majority of the crimes committed against. women and children those who commit them are men who have served time in criminal institu- tions and have been paroled as “cured” with time off for good behavior. One more quotation from Mr. Hoover indicates why there is crying need for a realignment of our ideas and practices in the administration of justice. Figures for 1937 show a decided increase in the felonies committed this year as against the 1,333,526 major crimes in 1936. There has been a sharp increase in robberies, burglaries, larcenies, and automobile thefts. How can anyone say that crime is decreasing when we look at this record? Crime is not lessening; it is distinctly increasing. The records of 1937 show that more persons died by manslaughter, that more were murdered, and these same is of as cted 5. his stay |associates find that these, too, are enormous protein |tion to say-.the most important advance made since ‘)\uman economy was discovered must be credited to sob-sister wardens | in! well be classed | by announcing his success in crystallizing the virus of the tobacco plant mosaic and in producing the disease in healthy tobacco plants by implanting the crystals. | The virus in this concentrated form proved to be a hm\v protein molecule. ‘Extending his researches into the field of animal viruses, Dr. Stanley and his molecules. with what entities they are dealing. At last biochemists and pathologists know 1t is no exaggera- the significance of vitamins and hormones in the . Stanley, ‘The import of these researches staggers the ima- gination. Viruses are neither dead nor alive. They seem to lie on that shadowy borderland where matter is ready to leap into life. For all we know life is being created before our very eyes. But how? The chemical compounds to which Dr. Stanley has devoted 50 much attention are not themselves alive. To infect tissues they must be touched by life. in the body of a plant or animal. Is this the end? Or will it be pos- | sible some day to ignite these crystals with the living flame in the test tube—ignite them with some other chemical? It seems like a wild speculation now. And yet there was a time when chemistry despaired of ever synthetizing outside the body of even a simple organic compound. If life should ever be created in | the laboratory merely by mixing two non-living chemi- cals, science will have wrested from nature her pro- foundest secret. The Hand of h\du and the Voice of Jacob | et (Philadelphia Record) | From the New York State Chamber of Commerce \release of NmLmbvr 1 attacking the wages and hours bill: “The fallacy of the theory that the people of ahy i nation can be enriched by working less has been exposed too often to bear repetition.” ! From an editorial article in the November 1 issue | of Father Coughlin’s weekly, Social Justice, attacking | the wages-and-hours bill: | “Is it not evident that in order to lift up the one- |third who are in a distressed position the production jof goods must be increased? In other words, we need more wearing apparel, more food and more housing | material, plus more of the modest conveniences to | which all are entitled. Does anybody deny that state- ment?” | The New York State Chamber of Commerce cer- tainly doesn’t. . * . . | The one question neither the Chamber of Com- | merce nor Father Coughlin answers is how the “dis- | tressed” one-third are going to be able to buy more | clothes, food and housing—if they get less pay. Or does Father Coughlin think the Chamber of Commerce will raise wages if only the Federal Gov- ernment promises not to fix minimums? | European nations are proposing to bring peace to Spain on the installment plan, Everybody is to nopsiztervene a MHitle each week until the matter is settled—Howard ‘Brubaker in The New Yorker. | A city that thinks of everything is Budapest, which | jailed all known pickpockets before darkening the city | | for air-raid practice.—New York Sun I Lunatic Disturbs Great King George VI. stands at attention (Fight foreground) as Stanley Storey, 43-year-old lunatic, Britain’s Armistice Rites is thrown to the ground by naval guards after interrupting England’s Armistice Day rites at the Whitehall Cenotaph | in London.
