Because of my medical in terests, I al ways read a little further until I find the to-be - expect ed statement to the effect that the man was Dr Aivam a well - known sex-murderer who had been pa roled from a prison or mental hospital a week or two before. For instance, I was reading re cently of a man who murdered two boys and tried to burn their bodies under a pile of brush. As I expected, I read that in 1949 he had assaulted a boy but had been released into the custody of his parents. In 1951, after trying to murder another boy, he had been given 10 years. Why only 10 years? That is an interesting question. He was re leased after six years. Again, why was he released as soon as possible and coddled so affec tionately? As was to be expect ed, in a month he was back at his old game of murdering boys. Why could they not have learned that some men are born to be criminally insane, and will probably always be terribly dan gerous to society dangerous, until perhaps, they are too old and feeble to misbehave? Why cannot the men on parole boards learn some day what any old warden or any old prison-inmate could teach them, and this is to recognize often on sight the type of life-long criminal who never earned an honest dollar and never will? When let out, he has to go back to robbing and burglarizing and killing that's the only work he knows. I'll never forget my amuse ment one day, when as I sat in a Mexican courtroom with my friend the judge, a man was brought in for having stolen an overcoat. When the judge asked him what his occupation was, he replied, "A thief, sir!" He had always been a thief, and he would always have to be a thief. At the age of 40, it was too late for him to try to learn any other occupation. He knew it, and the judge knew it. But the law, being what it is, and the man's having stolen, on this occasion, some thing of little value, he was sent in for only 60 days. If we, in civilization, could only think for a minute not of punishment "to fit the crime," but of protecting ourselves and our loved ones and our citizens we would build a big colony on an island somewhere, where petty thieves, some burglars, most pick-pockets, many alco holics and "dope peddlers," and thousands of weak people who haven't the strength of character to live in a world full of design ing persons, -could be sent for much of their life, and taught to earn their living at some sim ple manufacturing job. On the island, without temp tations in their way, most of the people could behave well; there would be no use in their stealing anything because there would be no "fence" no one to accept the stolen , goods and to realize money on them. There would be no money of the ordinary type to steal. There would be no alcohol or drugs to buy. Anyone who persisted in mak ing a nuisance of himself would be sent on to another colony where the privileges would be fewer, and the discipline would be more strict. On the island there would be no idea of punish ing anyone, and the people would be made comfortable. A man and wife could live to gether. The people would just be protected from their own weaknesses. When so protected, most of them would be good citizens. Low River Wafer Forces Power Halt A near-record high grain crop has been harvested by farmers in Turkey this year. Wheat pro duction is estimated at 275 mil lion bushels. Portland (IP) Low water in the Columbia river will force the Bonneville Power adminis tration to shut off 358,000 kilo watts of "interruptible" power for the rest of the winter sea son, Administrator Dr. William A. Pearl said Friday. The shut off at midnight Sat urday, Nov. 30, will affect 13 of BPA's 18 big industrial cus tomeis. Dr. Pearl said. Two aluminum producers, Kai ser and Reynolds Metals, have arranged to "borrow" water from Hungry Horse reservoir in Montana. A Kaiser spokesman said the "block" of provisional power from Hungry Horse would last for five days after BPA shuts off the interruptible pow er. He said the cut could result in a force and production at the Kaiser plant in Spokane, Wash. Dr. Pearl said, however, that the federal system would be able to meet all its "firm," or year-around power commitment. At no time since Bonneville was established, he said, has there been a cutting off of firm pow er. He said interruptible power could not be restored until the "heavy and region-wide" rains occur in the Pacific Northwest. Daily demand for water in the United tSates is estimated at 200 billion gallons. The U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture says de mand may double during the next 25 years. DOGS LIVE LONGER Boston (IP) The Animal Res cue League of Boston reported that the average life expectancy of a dog has risen from nine years in i932 to 12 years today.
