Trygyc
Policy for Sex Crime Problem
Finds Dr. Kinsey, Calif. Apart
Sacramento, Calif., Dec. 17 UP) A California legislative com
mittee politely disagreed today with Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey on how
to tackle the sex crime problem.
"We have more than adequate laws to cover the situation,
the noted University of Indiana researcher and author told a
subcommittee. He urged that
I the legislature not pass laws
during a period Of hysteria; re
duce, not increase, the penalties;
and spend money on research in
to causes.
The subcommittee then passed
his advice along to an assembly
judiciary committee which
thereafter placed its stamp of
approval on six proposed bills to
increase penalties, including
death in the state's gas chamber.
Two recent shocking sex
crimes, involving the slaying of
little girls at Los Angeles and
near Fresno, touched off a ris
ing tide of demands that the le
gislature act. The violated vic
tim near Fresno was only 17
months old.
Wednesday night the judiciary
committee recommended that
the legislature, among other
things:
1. Make it a felony for a per
son previously convicted of a
lewd and lascivious conduct
charge to molest a child under
14.
2. Provide a state prison sen
tence of up to 20 years for a
person found guilty of sodomy.
3. Provide death penalty for
killing committed during sex at
tack on a child, even when pre
meditation is not proved.
Dr. Kinsey was questioned at
a closed door session of the sub
committee but his recommenda
tions were made public when
passed along to the judiciary
committee.
Assemblyman H. Allen Smith,
of Glendale, quoted Dr. Kinsey
at one point as stating:
"Many types of sex offenders
can definitely not be helped by
treatment. There is no cure for
the homosexual individual."
Administration sources today
expressed confidence that the
legislature will adopt acceptiblc
lobbyist controls before ending
the special session. Delays and
maneuvering have cast some
doubts as to the future of the
governor's program.
re Lie fo
Retire from UN
Lake Success, N.Y., Dec. 17
(U.RI Trygve Lie, United Nations
secretary - general, announced
formally today that he will not
be a candidate for re-election
when his term expires in 1951.
The former Norwegian for
eign minister, elected to the top
post of the world organization
for a five-year term in 1946.
confirmed to a news conference
what he has been saying pri
vately for five months.
"In response to questions that
have been submitted to me about
my intentions when my term as
secretary-general ends in 1951,"
Lie told his conference, "I wish
to say this:
"I have completed my term
of service as secretary-general,
I shall be very happy to have
been able to serve the United
Nations for five years, and I am
not a candidate for reappoint
ment." Foremost in the Immediate
speculation on Lie's successor
were the names of Dr. Herbert
V. Evatt, who lost his post as
minister of external affairs
when Australia's labor govern
ment was defeated in the re
cent election, and Dr. Luis Padil
la Nervo, popular chief of the
Mexican delegation to the UN,
who presumably would have
the original advantage of 20 Latin-American
votes.
$10 Million Spent
For Kansas Liquor
Topeka, Dec. 17 (IP) Kansas
legally dry for more than 69
years spent more than ten
million dollars for liquor in the
first three months computable
under the law which permitted
legal alcoholic beverage sales in
the stale this year.
Based on funds collected from
the two percent enforcement
tax on each' purchase, the fig
ures show Kansas slightly above
the national average in per ca
pita liquor consumption, accord
ing to Arthur A. Herrick, alco
holic control board director.
Stale Treasurer Richard Fa-
dely said yesterday the enforce
ment tax collected from Septem
ber 15 through December 15 to
taled $204,343.18. This amount
Is prorated to counlics and mu

Censors Threaten fo
Butcher Movie Films
London, Dec. 17 ttJ.W The
board of film censors warned to
day that unless movie makers
cease portraying "unnecessary
brutality and needless violence,"
it will butcher the pictures un
til they are "useless for show
ing." "We recognize that the screen
is entitled to reflect aspects of
the aftermath of war," board
secretary A. T. L. Walkins told
the Evening News.
"But we have set our faces
against unnecessary brutality,"
needless violence, and exploita
tion of these things as an end."
Oregon Now Hearing Point
Expenditure Equals Income
Lebanon, Dec. 17 At a joint meeting of the Lebanon Chamber
of Commerce and junior chamber, State Representative Warren
Gill told the group that Oregon's present expenditures total 156
million and the total income 172 million dollars.
He said the state with a surplus of 26 million dollars was in
good financial shape, but thalf
the increasing demands of voters
is apt to change the picture for
on the 1950 general election bal
lot are several measures which
will place the slate millions of
dollars in the hole if they be
come law. Commenting on the
state budget, Gill said that 44
percent was allocated to educa
tion, a tolal of 60,:j million dol
lars. That is over twice the size
' of the next largest, welfare. Wol-
'fei fare, which is mostly old-age
benefits, receives a total of 27 'I
million or almost 19 percent of
the total budget.
Other figures, expressed in
percentages, were also quoted:
hospitals nnd institutions, 9.6;
capitol, 5.G; general expenses,
5.4; deficit. 4.4; all oilier, 12.2,
and total for veterans $700,000
or less than half of one percent.
"Don't let anyone tell you the
veteran is gelling all the money
In Oregon," said Gill, "because
it isn't true."
Afler explaining the present
net-up, Gill became pessimistic
about the stales future needs
saying that the schools need 12
million dollars more, and that
the next legislative session will
see a lot of pressure put on by
Portland groups for a junior col
lege there, which would take
three or four million just to
build.
Then, he added, there Is the
Increasing problem of the "sen
ior citizens." a group which is
becoming larger because the
average life span has become
longer due to better health and
working conditions.
In view of the overwhelming
vote for increased pensions at
the last general election, there
is bound to come up next time a
substitute measure which will
cost the state anywhere from 50
to 200 million more a year, was
Gill's opinion.
"Then there is the possibility
of a veterans' bonus.' he contin
ued. "Maybe a bonus is just
and maybe it Isn't, but I know
I'd like to have the difference
between what I made while
overseas and what I'd have made
had I stayed here in Lebanon."
All these things cost money,
he slated, and just where it is
to come from, he offered no
clue. It will be up to the voters
next November to choose be
tween the things they really
need and those they "just want."
Nursing Homes
Object to Rules
Portland, Dec. 17 (IP) Nursing
home owners and the state board
of health were at odds today
over the standards to be enforc
ed in such institutions.
William V. Sclby, president of
the Oregon state licensed nurs
ing home association, said his
organization objected to a board
of health requirement for sep
arate isolation rooms in nursing
homes.
Selby said nursing home
owners cannot afford to give
welfare patients paying $.') a
day the same care for which
hospitals receive Sll a day.
George M. Shiffer, director of
hospital facilities for the state
board of health, said nursing
homes with bed-patients must
have an isolation ward "to pro
tect other patients immediately
when someone comes down with
communicable disease. They
also must be prepared to follow
accepted isolation standards."
"If they're not prepared to ac
cept basic standards," he added,
"we might as well throw out
the regulations."
Selby and Shifter disagreed as
to how much isolation rooms
would cost.
George VI Prays
For Prosperity
London, Dec. 17 (?) King
George VI wound up the fifth
session of Prime Minister Att
lce's parliament Friday with a
prayer for prosperity in impov
erished Britain.
"I pray that under the guid
ance of almighty God we shall
overcome the difficulties that
will beset us and reach the goal
of a stable and prosperous eco
nomy," the king said in a speech
read for him in the house of
commons and lords.
The speech closed a 14-mohth
session. Parliament is scheduled
to be reconvened Jan. 24.
Just before the recess, royal
assent was given to the major
legislation of the session, a bill
to limit the lords' power to de
lay commons' legislation for on
ly one year instead of two.
King George told his legisla
tors he is convinced that the
Atlantic pact, signed during the
session, "will be a powerful aid
to the preservation of peace and
the defense of freedom."
His speech was written by the
government, in accordance with
traditional practice.
The king reiterated his hope
that he may ultimately visit
Australia and New Zealand.
Plans for a royal visit there
were dropped last year when he
fell ill. !

School Notes
Chinese Reds Said Building
Base for Lasting Rule
Aboard the Lakeland Victory, Dec. 17 U.R Land Reform, a
controlled pro-communist press and less open governmental cor
ruption are building a strong base for lasting red domination of
China, according to reports brought to this ship at Taku by both
Chinese and foreign informants.
These accounts of life in Red
China came from avowedly non
communist foreign and Chinese
residents of Tientsin, but may
have been distorted by a 10
month propaganda diet from the
communist controlled press and
radio.
However, they checked close
ly with reports from recent
American evacuees from Shang
hai. The residents warned corres
pondents aboard the Lakeland
not to expect Chinese commun
ism to be overthrown or watered
down as was the Sun Yat Sen
Chiang Kai Shek Nationalism of
the 1920s.
Members of the Angus Ward
party agreed that Mao Tze
Tung s regime is gaining
strength and that policy pro
nouncements are shifting toward
the Moscow line, but said they
were not able to evaluate ac
curately the popular support. As
Ward put it, "we were peering
out a very small window" in
Mukden for the past 13 months.

The action was taken yesterday at theclose of the powerful '

After refusing to permit ad

They said "the ultimate effect
