AONANELEWENT | N PRSDS URGED Mrs. Willebrandt Makes Plea in Speech Before National Jewish Forum. American penal institutions should be placed on “a human instead of & ma- chine basis,” Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille- brandt, former Assistant Attorney Gen- eral, declared last night in a speech before the Natlonal Jewish Forum in the Jewish Community Center. In examining the efforts she had made to improve conditions in Fed- eral penitentiaries, Mrs. Willebrandt told of “wearing out lots of shoe leather” lobbying in behalf of bills before Congress. She sald overcrowded conditions in Federal prisons should be eliminated. Need for Men of Character. Mrs. Willebrandt expressed the opin- fon that law_enforcement would be much more effective if more men of character were placed in positions of authority. “Our courts, if manned by men of character, and our district at- torney's offices, if manned by men of coursge, will continue to send great en:»rpa of criminals to jail each year.” 'his, the speaker said, would result in the release of hundreds of thousands of eonvicts annually. “Mental con- tamination results,” she said, “unless individuals incarcerated are regarded as human beings and given decent treatment while prisoners. We have X protected ourselves from con- tz:fmu physical diseases. When will we arom ourselvesd from contagious | * mental dizeases?” Under present conditions, Mrs. Wille- Jrandt. charged, the Federal peniten- tiaries “are cesspools which breed crime. ‘The contagious mental diseases spread by ns who have served in peni- tentiaries may result in your own boy or girl going y. I urge you to ald in correcting this situation.” Impossible to Aild Prisoners. ‘The speaker said the large number of prisoners now crowding the Federal penitentaries make it impossible to diagnose the individual cases and help the inmates get the right outlook on life in order for them to become good citizens when freed. She pointed out that there are 3,000 men in the Leaven- worth penitentiary with only 150 guards. She added all Federal peni- INFANTS Patent Blucher Boot. Good Stitched.

Pointing out that the institution was not equipped with walls because of a lack of need for them, Mrs. Willebrandt said much good work had been done at the comparatively new Federal peni- tentiary in Chillicothe, Ohlo. The speaker added that this was due, in , to the fact that there are only ,800 prisoners there. In concluding, Mrs. Willebrandt apologized for making what she termed “such a dry speech.” . In introducing Mrs. Willebrandt, Frederic William Wile, the chairman, referred to her as “a political martyr” and as “a modern Portia.” He com- plimented her on her abllity. ~HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D: C, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1929, _ "SEARS, ROEBUCK anp CO. EMPLOYMENT PLANS ARE TOLD PARLIAMENT Thomas Says Satisfactory Progress Is Being Made in Discussions With Industrial Heads. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 22.—J. H. Thomas, lord privy seal and minister of employment, furnished Parliament ‘Wednesday night with a long outline on his plans for c\lnlnh down unemploy- ™%5e said that sariTach e sa at satisfactory progress was being made in discusions “with ‘heads of the motor industry about export of cars. The real problem in this case, he ex- plained, was that of giving service over- seas after the car was sold. American agencies followed up their entry into any by camplete service, and had agents in every village and hamlet to supply spare parts. “Thers is, of course, also the m tion of the of engine in B cars. The ex basis of taxa such that the British indus concentrate on an engine with small horsepower, and that in itself is & de- terrent to production of the type of car suitable for export trade.” Mr. Thomas said he was going through the possibilities of every trade, and his object was to concentrate on the export market. Chased by a dog at Whitturn, Eng- land, recently, a wild rabbit swam out 100 yards to sea before being overtaken by the dog and brought back to shore. COMPARE!
