(AP) Two moves toward reliev ing congestion in federal peniten tiaries were disclosed today by President Hoover and Attorney Oeneral Mitchell. The first, as announced by the president, contemplates use by the department of justice of three mil itary prisons for incarceration of criminals until completion of the pending $6,250,000 construction program. Subsequently the attorney-general said the budget bu reau had received that program, calling for a new penitentiary in the northeast, industrial reform-! atory In the west and three short term jails in sections yet to be se lected. President Hoover had conferred with Secretary. Good and Mr. Mitchell regarding the availability of the military prisons. They de termined the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth eould be turned over to the department ot usttce temporarily as soon as the COO military prisoners there could be transferred. The disciplinary barracks at Governor's Island and at Alcatras also were said to be available If necessary, but at present the jus tice department does not content plate their use. Attorney-General Mitchell said the Fort Leavenworth barracks could accommodate 1,800, and after these barracks are turned over in about two weeks they prooaoiy win do operated: as a part ot Leavenworth penitentiary. As soon as organization is com pleted, prisoners will be trans ferred there from the Atlanta and Leavenworth penitentiaries, la each ot which there are now- 3,700 prisoners, although the prisons were designed to hold half as many. The new penitentiary will cost 13,000.000, the reformatory SI, 500,000. and three jails 1250.000 mr. xniicneu said tne program first would have to be authorized by the budget bureau and con gress, and then would take about six years for completion. The attorney general hopes the use of the Leavenworth barracks will meet the situation until the new penitentiary is completed. It will be designed to accomiaedate 2,000 prisoners, wbile the indus trial reformatory would accommo date 1,000 prisoners and each of the Jails not more than 500 pri soners. He said the -reformatory would be conducted along the lines of the present federal re iormatory for first offenders at Chllllcothe, Ohio, which is a non walled prison. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.

C O "Klwanls can do nothing more lmnortant than to help the young xaan to find his proper place in life," Kiwanlan Howard W. Coo per told the delegates to the con vention Tuesday morning in open ing the reports to be at the ses sion ia the state capitol. "Some dabs give their vocational guid ance program orally, contacting the various boys which the club wants to reach by personal conver sations. Others have written pro grams ot Instruction." Cooper cited one club which had organ ised a junior Klwanls for the ex press purpose of assisting In the vocational guidance of the various boys in their community. Charles F. Walker, later In the day elected northwest governor for the ensuing year, reported for the district committee on Klwanls education. He stressed the fact that only one-third of the clubs' committees on Klwanls education had regular meetings and de plored this tact. Walker charac terized Klwanls, through a series ot apt Illustrations, as a form and an instrumentality through which force is manifest. Klwanls is Walker's opinion, constitutes one of the greatest means In the na tion of making the forces ot hon esty, loyalty, integrity and sim ilar building forces, manifest. Harry Nobbs of Vancouver, B. C, chairman of the district com mittee on Klwanls efficiency, made the presentation of awards for the year to different clubs which had won prizes tor club excellence.

Belknap of Port land was acclaimed the winner of Governor T. Harry Gowman's tro phy for the best flve-mlnute ora tion on Klwanls when he was call ed before the Klwanls banqueters at the armory Tuesday night and informed that his speech earlier ra the day had been pronounced the best by the three judges. Bel knap received continued applause as he returned to his Portland table after being informed by Governor Gowman that the tro phy would be presented to him at an early meeting ot the Port land club. The contest, held Tuesday morning at the state capitol, was a unique feature introduced this year by the governor of the north west district. The speakers, chos en in elimination contests held this spring in the nine divisions ot the northwest district, each brought a stirring message ot Kl wanls loyalty to the delegates. Choosing as his theme "Seven Questions of Kiwanis," Nelson J Craig of Everett, Wash., repre senting the second division ot the district, made a graphic presenta tion of the means which Kiwanis adopts to make Its members vital to the community. "Service is the rental which we pay for the space we occupy on earth," declared Warren Butler of Tacoma, Wash., who spoke as the representative of the third divi sion.

Dr. Willis K. Belknap of Portland likened Kl wanls to the human body which he characterized as the most re markable instrument in all the world. Unity, cooperation, brav ery and loyalty are all necessitat ed from one who would safeguard his body, said Belknap. Just so such qualities are required of the successful Kiwanlan. Frank Bennett, of Tillamook,! speaking for division eight which includes Salem, declared that the nation was engaged in an experi ment ot self government whose success would be dependent upon the development of capable men.
