On one small range, in steam pots and in a 30-year-old oven, meals are prepared for the 1,978 inmates. “The kitchen is in a bullding that is insanitary and unfit for preparation of food,” Gov. Alf M. Landon said at ‘Topeka. “The Governor is quite right,” echoed ‘Warden Lacey Simpson today. “That kitchen isn't very sanitary. It was built in 1871. “An addition was made 40 years ago. That’s the newest part. We have one range that isn’t large enough to cook all the food we need, so we use steam pots mostly. Our oven is 30 years old and we can hardly bake bread in it.” No concessions were made the prisoners after they emerged from the mine following 21 hours of rioting early Tuesday. In addition to better food, they had demanded discarge of the prison physician, Warden Simpson sald the 1935 Legislature made an appropriation for & new kitchen and cold storage plant, but did not provide for a new dining room. The money will not be avaflable until after next February.

His duties as the latter have been com- pared to those of an attorney general. “It is the opinion of this writer,” Dargin writes, “that the activities of Father Coughlin constitute direct vio- lation of canon law.

This legislation expressly commands priests to abstain from public dis- cussion of political or secular matters, either in or outside of a church and forbids clerics to inject themselves in judgments of the faithful in questions of a civil nature.” Father Dargin sald that canonical law empowers Father Coughlin's bishop with “the right and duty to forbid, by precept, political activity of ecclesiastis,” and he added that offending priests “can and should be punished—according to the sacred canons.” He said that the Holy See “fre- quently in recent utterances has warned the clergy of various coun- tries against political activity.” LASSEN PEAK ACTIVE MINERAL, Calif, June 22 (@) — Lassen Peak, only active volcano in the United States proper, staged a show for tourists yesterdsy.
