Departure of the troops is cause for real regret. Al- Uj&igh they have been here for only a few months, they come to seem as much a part or our town as the old tine residents.. t* The people of Dunn have had the privilege of getting afoiainted with these fellows and many fine and lasting' fnSndships have developed. There have been some mar jwttftg’.soldiers found their places in our homes, in our clfTlMhes and in all the other places and events of the com munity. We can say without reservation that we’ve never known a finer group of fellows anywhere. Their ronduct has been exemplary and they made a great contribution to our town and community. Since the very day he arrived, Colonel Murdoch K. Goodwin has won the admiration, friendship and respect of all wjja came in contact with him. We believe he could be nominated as Dunn’s “Citizen of the Year’' without the least bit of trouble. Colonel Goodwin is a member of Phila delphia’s largest law firm and will return to his lucrative law practices after he finishes his tour of duty in the re serves. * To felonel Goodwin, to all the troops in his command, and to-4tl the other soldiers who have enriched our lives by their stay in our section, we say: “Goodbye, Godspeed, God bless you an 4 hurry baqk.” . : .

' !■■■ ■ These Days errw-****** £vftcUkif “MY SIX CONVICTS Yean and years ago, when I was a young fellow still at college, I got me a Job with an outfit called "The National Committee on Pri sons and Prison Labor,” That ex perience Whetted my appetite for this gruesome subject, so that I of ten read books which relate them -1 selves to prisons and prisoners. ‘ During those years, I read deep , ly in the subject of penology and came in contact with some very remarkable men who either wen ] seeking to change prison systems or who had been convicts. Once when I needed some tutoring in a few didlfficult subjects, a brilliant ex . convict, a man of the most pro ; found learning, aided me. Not all ■ convicts are bad men, although moat have a foolish side; not all bad men are in jail. So. I read a book called “My Six Convicts," by DonaM Powell Wilson, described as a psychologist who had studied convicts at Fort 1 Leavenworth penitentiary. The au ; thor says: “Out of deference to my adminis -1 trators and colleagues whom I held in great respect, and to the pri soners themselves, six of whom comprised my regular Staff of as sistants, I have indulged literary 1 license in the use of names, places and dates, and in the development of some of the episodes recorded”. Well, I did not get excited about this book one way or the other un til I read an article by Louis Mes solonghites on “My Six Convicts" in “The Prison World,” the offi cial publication of the American Prison Association and National Jail Association. The aforesaid Louis Messolonghites I know well in King Features and regard him as capable of meticulous accuracy. So Messolonghites wrote of “My Six Convicts:” “. . . Dr. Wilson says in his pre face that the book is partly fic tional. although the book’s jacket claims that all of the events (ac tually occurred, including the safe- ’ cracker’s holiday.’’ He wrote: , *<*•» “Dr. Wilson spent twenty months, not three years, at Fort Leaven | worth. > “No prisoner was stabbed to death t in the prison yard, as described on page 2. “Wilson claims to have given a psychological examination to A1 Capone. Capone was never in Fort Leavenworth. ' “The Safecracker .Incident shades of Jimmy Valentine—did not take place at Fort Leavenworth, and it is doubtful if that ever hap pened in any prison. “There was no prison break at Fort Leavenworth as Wilson says. “His description of Fort Leaven worth’s physical plant, is inaccu rate: with it he has miked some features of the Joliet Penitentiary.” E. R.. Cass, general secretary, the American Prison Association, and James V. Bennett, director, United States Bureau of Prisons, also op pose the book. Cass said: ► . . The acceptance of the book by a gullible public is deplorable and a source of discouragement to those who have brought the fed edal prison system to a high level ' of operation and leadership . . Bennett said: “Much of the book Is devoted to pulling out old chestnuts and re peating a few canards which Dr. Wilson in his naivete accepted as fact and all of the melodramatics are pure fiction put together in true Hollywood, grade B routine, style. The book is replete with fanciful stories, not one -of which is true or has any basis in fact” Stanßy M. Rinehart, Jr., the publisher of this book, who is a very competent man, quotes to me in rebuttal the following: ‘ln ease you didn’t read Austin MacCormick’s review in the June issue of Tederal Probation,’ he says among other things; “There is no question that the book has helped create a more favorable climate for correctional progress.

LYNN NISBET: Around Capitol Squahsi ' DULICATINQ Refusing to ad mit discouragement in effort to re duce unauthorized use of State owned mo*>r vehicles, Governor Scott has named a new commit tee to Fork on the program of wasteful duplication in duplication processes. Ii» other words, study will be made of the possibility of setting up around Capitol Square a central workshop for mime*- jnjKS ofdupuXg processes, Instead of having eaS department—and In some cases di visions within departments-rmata. ; teitang separata an*-independent 1 has been informed* that I 1 has ah Investment of around $200,e 1 erate onlv Mvtintv hmin mtt- nrl 1 * total or ttMTMdmatiiv f7O worKr the more the. better. Likewise there are some places of duplicating equipment designed for special Jobs which naturally cannot be used by any other agency, and is re quired for only occasional short rims, the governor Isn't concern ed about that type of machine, al though thorough check might dis close useless duplication in invest ment even In these special duty I ■ 1 i'?

Election of a new chairman by the new board will take place at an early meeting of the group, Mr Ruaaell said. lost time In sending' copy, cheek ing proofs, and delivering finish ed product between the various offices and a central workshop might amount to more than sav ings In some Instances. When all these contingencies are considered— and it Is the duty erf the commit tee to appraise than—there re main glaring instances of waste In idle machine* and operators This il true hot only of duplicating equipment bat with respect to type writers tor making original copies. The mere fact that a machine Is idle does not mean It Is unneces sary. It does sOggest advisability of study to see If further produc tion can be realised from the in vestment. ThS study might well go deeper and seek to ascertain how much of the production now being obtained has any real value. pafNTfitO - Oovemor Scott Is not the first to recognise waste in this ares of governmental activity, no sto admit that potential savings here are less than can be effected in the printing of departmental reports and publications. In I9*t Rep. W. E. Horner of Lee secured passage of a resolution calling for a study es the State’s printing bill for departmental and Institutional periodicals and periodical reports. He was named chairman of the commission and soon thereafter uall6d upon the several department and institutional heads to submit copies of their periodic publica tions, such as statistical reports, bhlletins. magaaines. etc. The im prest and freight; in paper pack ages, cardboard cartons and wood boxes. It wasn’t long before Hor ner’s newspaper shop at Sanford was so Jammed with samples, he codld hardly fhnctlon in his regu lar business operations. He and his committee loked at the boxes and at some of the samples, and made their report to the governor entirely too much of the stuff, that a’ lot of 4 it Was of questionable time thev had available nothing like a full study or adequate recom mendation could be made. That ended that, and the printing bill continues to mount each year. NON-TAX Another problem facing those who seek to eliminate Wasete by centralised control Is the attitude of certain departments which claim they are not support ed by "taxes,” but by license and other fees which they collect them selves. Some officials of the Wildlife Resources Commission have said they should not be held account able In the same way other depart ments are, because their revenu-j comes from hi/nting and fishing license fee s. The highway commis sion has pleaded exemption in seme instances because their revenue is derived from special levies on mot orists in the form of gasoline gal lonage tax and automobile license plates. Although coming ’ within purview of the budget act and the purchase and contract division, these agencies particularly the highway commission/ have been granted exceptional treatment in some Instances, which have led to demand In other quarters that ,all special funds should be abolished and all the money collected by the state from any source and by any methpd be Integrated into one gen eral fund from which all approp riations would be made tin basis of need and without regard to source of income. EXTRAVAGANCE—Everybody at all familiar with governmental practices, from Podunk to Washing ton, knows there wasteful ex travagance that Would not be talen ted In private business. Any at tempt to reduce this waste has gen-, era! support among the cltisenry. The attempt will be more success ful and the support more valuable i if estimate df passible savings are . kept within reason. Practical people are inclined to lose interest when , claims are made that more can be saved that has been appropriated economy does not consist in not •pending money.

The movie , travelogues have been taking care of that department for years. More Important, I think. Is how the Is lander* have thrown away their gasoline tanks and weaned their automobiles. Driving a car here casts nothing, so long as you own a few almond trees. What happened was that Hilda and I flew here from Madrid in an elderly and dignified DC-3 of the Iberlas Lineas Espanoles. The crew wore white uniforms (with a with epaulettes, while the captain had a magnificient big blue ahd SrSSTisrfi'a?!: Franco traveled In her Once, back in IMt. This made us feel a good deal better. * So we skimmed across the hills and plains of Spain, mostly barren at this time of year, flew over the Mediterranean for about an hour, and landed at an airport here, where nearly all the local taxis were spouting smoke and flame. Kind of scared Hilda. We wound up in the Marioel Ho tel, which is an especially lush place on the beach, and I got to worrying about those fiery sedans. So I rented one. It turned out to be a 1931 Cadillac with running boards and all I can say is that the Standard Oil Oo , had better get Into the almond business while there yet is tinie. Obviously, there is no future for "gasoline. My Cadillac came with a com bined engineer and fireman. A good thing, too, because he was q very busy fellow. On the roof he carried a large sack of almond shells for fuel. ted In clo«er tax collections, yield ing substantial profit to the state. Larger appropriations for the bud get bureau have resulted In closer check on spending, saving money for the ta thjrgverall Dietary property, including automobiles and mimeograph machines, can effect further savlpgs. The situation def initely calls for thorough study. It does not call for blanket Indict ment of every employee as a petty grafter, or advance claims of multi million dollar savings amounting to more than aggregate appropriations for all the services included In the > study.
