MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1934.
NORMAN, Okla., April 20. (DP)
On testimony that the welfare of
society and the subjects themselves
would be promoted by sterilization,
eugenic operation was ordered today
for nine wards of the state of Okla
homa. All were women of various
Insane types.
The order marked the beginning of
a. long and carefully planned official
program for sterilization of mentally
unfit persons and habitual criminals,
one of the most comprehensive pro
grams of its kind ever undertaken by
any American state.
Three thousand or more state
wards, according to officials, may be
sterilized before the end of the year.
'All of those for whom the opera
tion was ordered today were describ
ed as sufferers from incurable men
tal afflictions and potential parents
of children of similar mental state.
The oroers came In .hearings before
the state board of affairs, meeting at
central Btate hospital for mental dis
eases. N.
The patients sat uncomprehending
as Dr. D. W. Griffin, hospital super
intendent, described them as Imbe
ciles, epileptic or Insane In other
ways, and stated they were soon to
be discharged from the Institution.
The superintendent and Dr. J. L.
Day, of the asylum staff, told the
board that none of the patients had
a mental age of more than ten years.
In each case It was established
that the patient could not be cured
aud would be likely to produce off
spring of similar mental condition.
"Sterilization of beautiful women
who are Insane Is of supreme Import
ance," Dr. Griffin told the board.

WASHINGTON, April 2 0. (UP)
A nation-wide drive was under way
- today to stamp out incompetence
and crooked practices in the Home
Owners' Loan corporation, with sev
eral cases pending in the department
of justice for possible prosecution of
employes, according to officials.
Several cases centered about diffi
culties which caused removal of six
state directors.
Discussing possible additional res
lgnatlons from high places, HOLO
officials emphasized that many dif
ficulties caused by incompetence were
handled by administrative investiga
tion rather than through legal pro
cedure. Where criminal liability is
Indicated, Investigations are begun
by federal agents.
State directors have been changed
In Illinois, New Jersey, Maine, Penn
sylvania, Kansas and California.
Patronage matters complicate many
cases, It was said, and yet the corpo
ration described Its Ohio office as
"highly efficient" under direction of
Henry Brunner, whose appointment
was bitterly opposed because he was
Democratic state chairman. Ohio has
lent $84,000,000 of the corporation's
total national outlay of about t500,
000.000. Other officials with Import
ant political connections have func
tioned exceptionally well, It was said,
because of previous business experi
ence.
The HOLC also has about 40 to AO
cases In 30 different states awaiting
federal prosecution, In which outside
lawyers and bankers are accused of
preying on home owners by charging
fees ranging from $10 to $250 to ob
tain loans.
A few such violations were said to
have been proved and mild penalties
assessed. The law provides a maxl
mum $10,000 fine or a five-year pris
on sentence. Some cases Involve col'
luslon with HOLC appraisal officers
and both parties are under Investi
gation, It was said.
BOSTON ( UP ) The historic Ed
ward Everett House, In Charlestown
where General Lafayette and Daniel
Webster were entertained, has been
put on the real estate market. It was
built in 1812 and is one of the finest
examples of the architecture of that
period extant.
