Appointmant of a new general su- perintendent of District penal insti- tutions was scheduled for action this afternoon by members of the Board of ‘Public Welfare, who have been searching for months for a qualified successor to Capt. M. M. Barnard, who 1s to be reiired for age. According to insistent reports, the two leading candidates appeared this morning to be Col. William L. Peak, superintendent of the District Re- formatory at Lorton, and Joseph W. Sanford, a native of Washington, who now is head of the Federal Re- formatory at Chillicothe, Ohio. Early Recommendation Seen. It appeared that a recommenda- tion from the Board of Public Wel- fare would be made before the Com- missioners at an early date, if not/ immediately following today's meet- ing of the Welfare Board. The subject now is in the hands of the Committee on Penal Institu- tions of the Welfare Board, which was to meet this afternoon prior to the meeting of the full board. Mem- bers of this committee are Judgd Michael M. Doyle, Dr. Worth B.| Daniels and Mrs. Spencer Gordon. The latter was recently named a| member of the Welfare Board. Judge Doyle said this morning it was probable his committee would make a recommendation to the Wel- fare Board today. Members of the committee declined today to indicate who they would rec- ommend, but questioned about re- ports that Sanford stood in a fa- vorable position, both Judge Doyle and Dr. Daniels agreed that Sanford was an excellent penal official. It is known also that Col. Peak has been given strong backing for the position. Search for the best available man as Barnard's successor was started last April. Many penal authorities have been questioned as to likely can- didates for the post. It is said more than two dozen persons are listed as possible candidates. Elwood Street, director of Public Welfare, today voiced commendation for both San- ford and Col. Peak. He took occa- sion to deny reports that he was at odds with the Board of Public Wei- fare over the candidacy of Col. Peak. Sanford Born Here. Sanford, who was born in the Dis- trict and attended schools here, served for & number of years as chief probation officer of the District Juve- nile Court. While on the stafl of the Bureau of Efficiency some years ago he made a study of penal institu- tions, it was said. He was also as- signed to take charge of disciplinary barracks at Fort Eustis, Va. Col. Peak served for many years as head of the District Jail before being promoted to superintendent at Lorton as the successor of Supt. A. C. Tawes, who resigned. Street said the board did not wish to recommend a penal director inter- ested in the job only for the salary. The basic salary is $6.000 a year. Street said the board wanted a pro- | gressive administration for the Dis- trict's penal institutions which would carry forward the work of Capt. Barn- ard, who is given primary credit for development of the honor system on which the reformatory is operated. ‘There are names of other candidates on the list for consideration in addi- tion to Col. Peak and Sanford, but officials today declined to make the | names public. DUTY HELD REASON IN EVASIONS EXPOSE, McCarter, Volunteering Data in Income Tax Probe, Avoids All Details. By the Associated Press. NEWARK, N. J, December 4.— His conception of the duities of a good citizen, said Thomas N. McCarter, president of the Edison Electric In- stitute and head of the New Jersey Public Service Corp, prompted him to step forward with an expose of an income tax evasion conspiracy against the Government. McCarter was reluctant to discuss his action in presenting to Treasury | officials the information that New York tax consultants had offered to “fix” a $150,000 tax case on & 20 per cent commission basis. At his office here, where he author- | ized a brief statement in response to inquires, it was stated he had no desire to attract public attention be- cause of what he had done. “I was prompted to do what T did.” McCarter's statement said, “by my conception of my duties as a citizen | but I do not eare to discuss the matter in detail, preferring to allow the offi- cials at Washington to say whatever there is to be said.” Injunction Against Radio Sta- tion for “Pirating” Continued. SEATTLE, December 4 (#).—A de- cision in the equity suit brought by the Associated Press against radio station KVOS of Bellingham, in which the station is accused of “pirating” news, was taken under ad- visement by Federal Judge John C. Bowen. The court continued in effect, meanwhile, an order restraining the station from using, until 24 hours after first publication, news taken from Associated Press reports or its member newspapers. .

For cawn, in the estimation of the Federal Alcohol Administration, is something to be viewed with alarm and looked upon with suspicion. At any rate, this governmental agency is in the market for a defini- tion of cawn—"corn whisky.” Irvin 8. Cobb, the old maestro, minnesinger and minstrel man from Old Kentucky, has tried to answer the question before the house: “What is cawn? What is corn likker, suh?” The administration said in a for- mal statement that some authorities and distillers had been asked to sub- mit evidence to be offered at a hear- ing called Wednesday to determine just what words best describe what Southerners call “cawn.” “The Distillers’ Code Authority,” the control administration said today, “has submitted the following rather comprehensive definition by the out- standing sauthority, Mr. Irvin S. Cobb. Mr. Cobb is quoted as follows: “‘This here fiery stuff called corn whisky, whether white or red, is an unlawful off-shoot from the bourbon tribe and among Kentuckians, at least, is regarded as but an illegitimate orphan of the royal line, born out of wedlock in the shine of the moon, WHY NORGE IS A LIFELASTING Made by the Norge plant of Borg - Warner Corporation, world's largest makers of auto; mobile gearing and transmission, Norge washer mechanism is automotively engi- neered, sealed in a 5-year supply of grease and fitted with adjustments to offset wear and insure smooth, quiet, lifelasting service.
