' i- i DOUGLAS COUNTY Farm Bureau Cooperative Exchange By JANU EADS WASHINGTON Idleness In our federal penal Institutions was an evil that nad to be done away with if the inmates were to be rehabilitated and cured of those habits that returned them to those placng time after time. That's what leaders in private Industry, organized labor, educa tion and welfare, as well as penol ogists, were thinking of when Federal Prison Industries, Inc., was organized under a statute passed in 1934. Now, with the original congres sional appropriation long paid off, the corporation this year netted Uncle Sam a profit of $3,000,000. It produces many articles for sale to other government agencies. Federal Prison Industries, Inc., turns out everything from tooth brushes to tug boats, from matt resses to metal furniture, canned goods, clothing, brooms, textiles, gloves, shoes, metal wares, books and tools. It makes a half million mall bags a year for the Post Office department. During the war it made some ships for the Army, mainly tug-type wooden I boats not over 70 feet long. Capt. A. H. Connor, associate commissioner of the corporation, told me that all the furniture in his office except the rugs and telephone came from one of the prison factories. "The board of directors of the corporation has been encouraged by the success many of those trained in prison have met upon their release," he said. One inmate, who worked in the glove factory at the Correctional Institution at Danbury, Conn., not only learned how to make gloves, but also took a course in main tenance of glove making ma chines and upon release manu factured gloves himself. Another inmate who gained considerable skill at the Terre Haute, Ind., penitentiary is now earning $12.50 daily in an art stu dio. Worker-inmates get paid up to 20 cents an hour, have a 40 hour work week, are required to send 75 percent of their earnings to dependents if any. The bal ance is paid to their credit and given to them on discharge.

(Hunan is in the war zone, so that any casualty figure is likely to be a merely a rough guess.) act creating Federal Prison In dustries. Inc., back in 1934, Pres ident Koosevelt said: "Without any important competition with private industry or labor, the Government can provide increas ingly useful work in itself for tnose who need to learn how to work and to learn that work in itself is honorable and is a prac tical substitute for criminal meth ods of earning one's livelihood." Dr. Condon Asks Chance To Clear His Reputation WASHINGTON, July 21 V- Dr. Edward U. Condon asked Congress Wednesday to safe guard a person's right to present his own case once his name and reputation have become involved in an investigation. Condon, director of the Nation al Bureau of Standards, gave the senate rules committee his en dorsement of a bill by Senator Lucas (D-HI.), the Senate major ity leader. The bill would permit a person suffering adverse criti cism in a congressional inquiry to be heard and to cross-examine witnesses having testified against him. In his statement Condon cited his own experience with the House committee on Un-American Activities. He said during most of 1947, "there appeared at frequent intervals unfriend ly newspaper articles about me attributed to committee sources saying that I was about to be in vestigated by the committee and implying that sinister revelations King George's Nephew Will Marry Commoner LONDON, July 21. OPh-The engagement of the Earl of Hare wood, 26-year old nephew of King George Sixth, and Marion Stein, 22-year old pianist, is expected to be announced today. The London Star quoted friends of the couple as saying the King already has given his consent but that formal announcement awaits approval by the privy council. Lord Harewood is ninth in line to the British throne. The dark haired Miss Stein is the daughter of Erwin Stein, representative of a London musical firm. were soon to be made." Finally, ha said, a subcommit tee report was Issued on March 1, 1948, "exclusively devoted to an attempt to support its unsup portable contention that I was un trustworthy and unfit for public office." In that report the sub committee called Dr. Condon "one of the weakest links" in the nation's atomic security. Condon, who denied vhis at the time, said the committee never has given him a hearing or am plified its report. ii i, ' ' CHROME DINETTE SET A lovely five-piece set includes extension table and four match ing chairs.
