In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The news?
Here's a sample:
Cheered by half a million
Britons and acclaimed by a
Jlittering array of royalty,
Princess Alexandria, Queen
invuuie cousin, IS
mrr'ed in Westminster
" me son of a titled
Scottish family. More than
120 members of British and
European royal houses turned
out for the occasion.
Incidents?
Well, in the crush that fol
lowed the ceremony, Queen
Elizabeth stepped on the toe
of King Olaf of Norway. She
begged his pardon, and he
said: "Oh, no; it was my
fault." People, you see, are
people-crowns or no crowns.
Even a king can have his
loe stepped on.
QUEEN Elizabeth took the
wedding party out PUB
BING in the Berkshire
countryside. Fifty-one guests.

buses and wound their way
) from Windsor castle which
i later was the scene of the
"Ball of the Century" to a
I -Sun vpar nIH miK in tho email
I town of Bray. Twenty-eight
ot the pubbers were members
of foreign royal, or former
royal, families.
After cocktails, they had
fresh lobster, roast lamb,
treacle tart and fresh cream
with cheese and coffee to
finish off the pub lunch.
AT THE queen's request,
forget-me-nots were on
the tables and the waitresses
wore red roses pinned to their
dresses for St. George's day.
The queen was given a bou
quetof roses, and was later
seen ministering to a pricked
thumb on the bus. Kin Olaf
of Norway offered to help her
squeeze out the offending
thorn, but the queen, all the
time smiling, managed alone.
Again, you see, queens are
PEOPLE. They bleed when
scratched by a rose thorn.

BUT
The world IS changing.
In London, the Daily Mail,
Britain's largest newspaper,
published a stinging attack on
"royal dcadbeats" in London
to attend the ceremony. Hit
ting at members of Europe's
former royal families, the
Mail asked in a two-column
editorial: "What's Going On?
The editorial asked whether
the wedding was a marriage
"between popular young peo
ple or a publicity campaign
4T ONCE had a girl in my class," reminisced an astronomy
I. professor at Vassar, "who was enchanting and beau
tiful but to stupid she actually believed the moon was
made out of green,
cheese." "What became
of her?" asked an associ
ate. "She got married be
fore her freshman year
was concluded," chuckled
the professor. "The son
of the richest man in
Iowa took her out and
made her actually look
at the moon."

Casey Stengel la de
termined that his New
York Mets will not dupli
cate In 1863 the dismal .
showing they made last year. "We had one bad break after an
other in 1962 beginning when we lost our first nine games," he
grumbled. "This year, maybe we'll have a little good luck. Like
Babe Herman always had." (Babe Herman, in case you've for
gotten, toiled in the outfield in the good old days when the Dodg
ers still played in Brooklyn). "I'll tell you how lucky that feller
Herman was," continued Stengel. "One fall, for no reason at all,
he bought a big turkey farm in California. Two weeks later.
President Roosevelt announced there would be two Thanksgiv
ings that year!"
for Europe's busted-down,
pensioned-off, forgotten but
not buried ex-royals." It ad
ded: "Is this the welfare state
or the royal welfare morgue?"
WELL
Times ARE changing.
A few centuries ago, a
statement like that would
have been lese majeste, and
the editors of the Mail would
have been hustled off to jail.
HIS thought in conclusion:
Do you reckon that all
over the world even in our
own country - government
just might be getting too
touch wound up in fluff and
feathers and foofcraw?
All this magnificence costs
a LOT of money-all of which
comes out of the taxpayers'
pockets.
And
A whale of a lot of it is
being PUT ON THE CUFF lor
future generations to pay.
What's going to happen to
these future generations?
LESSON OF ALCATRAZ
One of the wire service
stories out of San Francisco
last month, reporting that
Alcatraz P r i-
son had shut
up shop after
nearly 30
years as a
"m a x i m um
security" jail
for "incorrig-
ibles, failed
to m e n t i on
the most signi
ficant far-T nf
all.
In its three decades of op
eration, "The Rock." as it was
unaffectionately known by
inmates and guards alike, be
came less and less grim and
punitive toward its prisoners.
Founded on a philosophy of
absolute toughness, it was
nevertheless learned in pract
ical experience that such
toughness did not work out.
When it was first opened
in 1934 as a Federal peniten
tiary, the rule of silence was
imposed upon the inmates.
This was dropped in less than
three years. Then, industries
were established, and a two
channel radio system was in
installed for evening pro
grams in each cell.
Privileges at first denied
the men. and later given,
included subscriptions to as
many as eight magaaines
per man: a dosen books:

Allstate Homeowners Insurance is a package
policy that insures your home, clothing,
furniture, and most other belongings against
loss from fire, theft, windstorm, lightning,
vandalism -and even protects you with per
sonal liability insurance.
Here from Allstate is the modern package
of protection that Oregon homeowners can't
afford to be without . . . and the rates are low!
So whether you own your house or rent it,
doesn't it make good sense to get all the facts
right now?
See an Allstate Agent at Sears, at an
Allstate Office near you, or phone and he'll
gladly come to your home. Allstate Insurance

As time went on. the in
mates were permitted to
take correspondence cours
es, and could earn up to
SS0 a month working in the
l'undrv. the furniture,
glove and brush factories,
or the tailor shop. Softball
and handball were institut
ed in a recreation area.
All these innovations, ac
cording to Alcatraa offic
ials, "have reduced tensions
and improved morale."
Many of them were institut
ed in 1946, following a pri
son riot in which two
guards and three inmates
lost their lives. It was the
last serioi'.s disturbance at
the penitentiary.
As I suggested in a recent
piece, those inverted senti
mentalists who are against
"coddling'' convicts could
learn from the experience at
Alcatraz that human beings
are made only worse when
they are treated like animals
and given no chance to exer
cise their distinctively human
abilities.
The rigid punishment poli
cies at Alcatraz did not work,
and they do not work any
where. Putting a man behind
bars is punishment enough for
anyone; any severity imposed
on top of this only turns men
bitter and desperate and
totally incapable of being re
habilitated. There is not a
warden in the world who is
not painfully aware of this
fact.
Society still lags behind its
penologists; we remain punit
ive and vengeful and fearful -and
our attitude makes the
job of prison officials tw'e
as hard. Let us hope the clos
ing of Alcatraz marks the
opening of a new chapter in
American prison treatment.

Jet Pilots To

War I hero Sgt. Alvin York,
75. receives special visitors
today - the "Thunderbirds,"
an Air Force team of let pi-!
lots who specialize in preci
sion flying.
The pilots are here for a
demonstration of close forma
tion stunt flying and decided
to call on the Medal of Honor
winner who has been hos
pitalized nearly two weeks
with a blood clot in his left
lung and a kidney infection.
Hospital authorities said
Thursday York would be per
mitted to return to his Pall
Mall, Tenn., home during the
week end if his condition con
tinued to improve.
FIRE TRIGGERS CRASH
London (UPH Nine fire en
gines raced to a blaze at West
minster Abbey Thursday. Two
collided with two cars and a
bus in Parliament Square. The
blaze turned out to be a man
burning rubbish in an incin
erator. There were no Injuries
in the collisions.
CHEF GEORGE'S
Food For Thought
Here are a few rules to
follow when purchasing
stesk for home consumption!
1. The "marbling" or tiny
streaks of fat running
through the lean indi
cates a high quality cut
of beef.
2. The color should be a
light, cherry-red.
3. The bone indicates the
age of the snimal . . .
(Not the fat, as many
erroneously believe).
4. The bone of a young
animal is red and por
ous indicating the
bloodstream was still
depositing calcium;
whereas, the older ani
mals have herd, dense,
white bones.
