Mew Law Affecting Three
Time Losers Causes Fear
Among 500 Convicts
Test Case Is Ordered
STATE PENITENT! ART, McAlMter.
Okl., July 31. (UP) An exodus of
habitual criminal from Ottlahoms
nrs In prospect today.
A ruling late yesterday decreed that
In accordance with a new law, third
term convicts must be sterilized ".'ur
the good of society." Nervous ten
sion gripped the thousands of In
mates of the prison, where a test
case was decided today. Aproxlmately
500 convicts here are serving third
terms.
Warden Sam Brown took extra pre
cautions against possibility of an out
break as prisoners excitedly discuss
ed the ruling of the state board of
affairs, controlling state penal In
stitutions. The board ordered George S. Wink
ler, youthful third te;m convict who
volunteered for the test case, ster
ilized in Oklahoma's drive for an
eugenic society. The law provides
for sterilization of habitual criminals
and Insane.
Winkler, who had lunch with his
wife today, smoked cigarette nerv
ously during the lengthy hearing. He
was visibly shaken at the verdict.
He has no children.
With him was a committee of three
convicts. Warden Brown gave them
permission to attend the hearing and
report It to other "three time" of
fenders when the prison began to
seethe with unrest.
Winkler's e'tomeys gave Immedi
ate notice of appeal to the district
court, as provided by the steriliza
tion law. If the board's decision Is
upheld there, the convicts plan an
appeal to the state supreme court.
United In their fight against ster
llzatlon, they two monhs ago Pe
can a campaign whose slogan Is Save
your manhood." Nickels and dimes
sent by relatlvea outside, to purchaso
sweets and clragettes. were contno
uted to the campaign war chest.
The convicts attempted unsuccess
fully to engage Clarence Darrow as
their attorney, sympatnelic. ne sam
he was too busy.
The real test of the law will come
In the courts, but there is little doubt
It will be upheld. The law authors
Ing sterilization of Incurably insane
went Its course through the courrj
Eleven women and several men were
sterilized under It provisions. All
operation were successful.
"Just because I am a third term
convict Is no reason I shouldn't be
allowed to raise a family," Winkler
said.

TRAVEL TO PARKS
E
OVER WSJ YEAR
CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK.
Ore. (Special) In direct contrast
with the 1933 travel season, 1934 at
tendance totals throughout the na
tional parks have shown gains from
25 to 400 per cent, Dr. H. C. Bryant.
assistant director of the National Park
service, said when at Crater lake this
week while on a general visit to west
ern parks.
Dr. Bryant reported Increased In
terest in naturalist services offered
in each of the parks, providing vis
itors with opportunities of better
understanding and appreciating the
scenic wonders of the nation. First
begun in Yosemlte and Yellowstone
National parks, these educational ser
vices struggled along for yeara during
a difficult pioneer stage. Then every
effort was necessary to determine
what features would be best greeted
by the public.
No wthe pioneering era has been
passed. People have learned what to
expect when visiting a national park
and are anxious to take advantage of
all naturalist services, including
hiking, Informal scientific discussions
of features within the respective
parks, guided motor trips, mountain
climbing, launch trips and other fea
tures.
Dr. Bryant learned that such In
terest in Crater Lake National park
has shown commendable increase,
especially In regard to services of
fered at the Sinnott memorial ob
servation station along the inner rim
on Victor Rock. This station enables
the visitor to learn by his own efforts
much of the story concerning Crater
lake and Its environs without under
going the rigors of a technical lec
ture. In this way it Is possible lor
the visitor to fully understand the
scene before him and appreciate its
beauty.
Travel increases of the current sea
son are attributable to special efforts
being made to make 1034 a national
park year and also to improved eco
nomic conditions, reviving Interest in
traveling, especially to the scenic
spots of the nation.
