legislature will approve an ap-
propnauon lor an intermedi
ate Institution for young of
fenders, . ',-'.,
, Necessity for establishing an
Intermediate institution . was
stressed by Sen. Robert Holmes
of Astoria, who said there are
boys at the Woodburn school
too old to mingle with young
er, boys and boys in the peni
tentiary too young to be housed
. with older inmates.
Over-AU Budget OK'd
The over-all budget for the
school was approved in the
amount of $1,531,040 as com
pared to : approximately . $1,
OUO.uOG for the present bien
nium. Holmes said increase' in ad
missions at the school due to
growing population of the state
plus the unruly type of boys
admitted to the school was re'
sponsible for the increased bud
get. :
Senator Dean Walker, co-
chairman ' of the ' committee,
suggested that the state might
save money if the intermediate
Institution was located on the
site of MacLaren. school, but
this idea was opgosed by
Holmes as well as some other
members of the committee.
Blames Legislature '
Blame for increasing child
delinquency was placed on the
state legislature by Sen.: Rex
Ellis, who declared that every
bill passed dealing with boys
and girls "tends to relieve them
of more and more responsibill-
. ties."
' "It's about time we encour
aged boys and girls to do some
work," Sen. Ellis said.
. Sen. Walker called attention
to the growing number of oper
ating personnel' in some state
Institutions, referring particu
larly to Hlllcrest School for
Girls, where he said there were
48 employes lor 90 inmates.
However, the appropriation for
this school was approved..
Uniform State Laws
A bill appropriating $4400
for the commission on uniform
state laws was reported out fa
vorably only after considerable
discussion.

Drank Poison
Washington U. Lady Nan
cy Aitor told Sen. Joseph R.
McCarthy (R-Wis.) at the Taft
tea party for the Eisenhowers
last night that she wished ' a
drink he was sipping were
poison.
Her exact words, Lady Astor
recalled today, were; "I wish
it were poison." She said them
twice, once to anybody who
might be listening and once
to the senator himself. What
the senator replied, if any
thing, she did not reveal.
But Lady Astor did not go
unchlded. Mrs. Alice Roose
velt Longworth, the "Princess
Alice" of the Theodore Roose
velt era, told her:. "Nancy,
you're being naughty."
. The incident occurred in the
near presence of president and
Mrs. Elsenhower and their
hosts, Sen. and Mrs. Robert A.
Taft (R-O.). Lady Astor said
she doesn't know whether they
heard what she said to the
senator. But a lot of others did.
