time, William Shakespear's im-
' mortal "Romeo and Juliet." A

and In brilliantly colored
Elizabethan costume.

day than those usually seen on
the modern stage, comments

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.
At tne time oi me signing oi me

Floods scourging China have driv

Kwantung alone, Nationalists of

The Pearl. East. West and
North rivers, converging in the

tal, all are out of their banks.
The iiunan provincial govern
ment estimated that 57,878 per

it had arrived at such an exact
figure. (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.
