Reason for Governor
Martin's Proposal
Crtll IT f ft I m run lll
With Innocent Youths
Draws Objections
By RALPH C. CURTIS
Already involved In a state
wide controversy over relief. Gov
ernor Charles H. Martin apparent
ly Invited another which promises
to be just as bitter when he an
nounced Friday that It would be
his policy hereafter, whenever
possible, to transfer younger in
mates of the Oregon penitentiary
to the state training school for
boys near Woodburn. Transfers
would Involve only convicts un
der 21 years of age, the governor
explained.
While recognizing the difficult
problem of overcrowding at the
pen 1 1 e n 1 1 a r y which Friday
reached its peak population of
980 a number of persons who
lave to deal with problems of de
linquent youth in Salem and vi
cinity sharply criticized the solu
tion which the governor has de
v"sed. Some question was also
ra'ced as to its legality,. 5
The Inevitable association of
these criminals, who are- real
criminals despite their youth,
with boys who are not versed in
crime and underworld knowledge
boys some of whom are not
more than 43 years of age and
have committed no offense worth
mentioning and have no criminal
tendencies w it the principal
point of objection heard from
these official or- semi-official
sources, most of whom declined
to be quotefl. .
It was also pointed- out that
this proposed policy was in direct
opposition to the modern trend
in penology, which calls for great
er segregation of prisoners instead
of such a mingling of hardened
offenders with Innocent youth as
is contemplated.
Sentiments expressed by men
who have had several years ex
perience in prison work was that
the move was ill advised and
might end tragically.
It would be far better, a man
who declined to be quoted sa'd,
"not to set an arbitrary age lim
it. Some of the older men who
know prison discipline would be
better moved than those men un
der 21. Some of the toughest pris
oners out there are under 21
years."
Col. Carle Abrams, former sec
etary of the board of 'control and
Marion county legislator, ex
pressed concern for the boys in
the industrial school
"Those boys at Woodburn are
not criminals," Col. Abrams said,
"but it would be mighty, easy to
make them . criminals by letting
them associate with convicts."
Col. Abrams explained that he
was in favor of separating the
minor criminals from the hard
ened convicts but that it should

To Continue Here
At each bank today, from 10 to

able to have their bonds certified
for cashing. Next week the -certification
officers will be at the

Practically all the bonds were
delivered yesterday that had been
received at the office with addi

in,- H. R. Crawford, postmaster,
said.
The department will make the
deliveries as fast as the registered
packages arrive at the office.
One feature of the bonus sit

predictions is the fact that a great
number of the veterans are not
cashing the bonds at all and that
over 60 per cent of those who
have cashed some of the bonds
have retained several as an in

Knockout Comes in 12th
After Damaging Blow
In Fourth Round
Methodical German Gets
Plaudits of 40,000;
Critics All Wrong
By ALAN GOULD
YANKEE STADIUM. New York.
June 19.-(iP)-Bruised, battered
and bewildered for the first ttsne
in his professional career, aJa
youthful face round in a wonder
ment that was reflected by the
roar of the astounded crow. -22-year-old
Joe Louis crumpled to
night and was knocked out by the
veteran who didn't have, a chance.
Max Schmeling of Germany.
There was dynamite and dra
ma inside the roped arena under
somber black 6kies, while a crowd
of scarcely 40,000 looked on fas
alternate amazement and admira
tion, but Louis furnished neither
as he toppled to the floor, a badly
whipped young negro, and was
counted out in the 12th round of
a 15-round match.
Fighting with cool confideaea
from start to finish and firing
right hand that seldom missed Us
target, Schmeling completely up
set expectations, the predictions
of Just about 100 per cent ef the
ringsiders and Louis. The Ger
man veteran floored the negro
for a short count in the fourth
round, battered him unmercifully
from there on and put a finish to
his spectacular victory near the
end of the 12th round.
Collapses After " '
Two Hard Smashes
Louis, his eyes blinking, his face
swollen and his efforts futile, vir
tually collapsed after taking two
terrific smashes to the head. Stag
gering along the ropes, he wan
caught by another long right, a
punch that barely connected, and
crumpled to the floor. The negro,
shaking his head slowly, rolled to
his side and heard the count et
"ten" for the first time in his pro
fessional ring career.
The Brown Bomber, who had
swept all before him in a mete
oric two-year rise to the top of the
fistic world, who had been com
pared to the prize ring's all-time
greats and rated invincible among
present-day fighters, was blasted
to defeat in an upset that simply
staggered the fight critics..
Schmeling, 30-year-old veteran
and one-time heavyweight cham
pion, wasn't supposed to have a
chance. They said he was "washed
up" and no match for the dyna
mic young negro. But the only ex
plosion tonight was set off by the
smashing power of the German'
right hand as Schmeling gained
fistic triumph comparable to JUa
my Braddock's upset victory tor
the championship just a year age
over Max Baer.
Schmeling Earns
Fight With Champ
Thus, as. a consequence ox the
ring's two most startling form re
versals in heavyweight " annals.
Schmeling won the right to fight
Braddock for the title aud the
chance to be the first man to re
gain the throne. The German and
the Jersey Irishman probably will
