How About The Reformatory Mr. Shivers
Lieutenant-Governor Allan Shivers yesterday an-
nounced appointment of an investigating committee
charged, among other things, with the responsibility of
probing “without fear or favor” the state’s system of
^pardons and paroles. This action was long overdue and
widely applauded. Mr. Shivers incurs a certain amount of
political risk in taking so completely firm a stand on the
matter and his courage is to be admired.
Now that Texas is completely conscious of its prison
problems, it occurs to us that another branch of the prison
A . l < 1 4 4 1 • _ J 1 C* l. : • ,MAID M/AIYI -
UUIVTiri.l, * V WLVMIO —---'•----------- •
system should be looked into and Mr. Shivers new com-
mittee sefcms just the body for the lob.
We speak of the state reformatory, the most com-
pletely misnamed organization in the entire world as far
as we know. We have yet to find a single youth who was
“reformed” there. In fact, all that ever happened to the
Texas reform school “graduates” about whom we have
heard is that they were made into first class criminals
between' the time of their “enrollment” and the date of
their discharge.
Take two local eases of very recent date. A 17-year-
old Gatesville “graduate” in a stolen car drove into the
Sabine river at high speed while being pursued by police
and lost his life by drowning. So did two other boys, one
of them 13, the other 11. Another 17-year-old youngster
who had been “reformed” in the Texas prison system, in
jail mi a car theft charge here, fashioned a key from a
tooth brush handle, picked the lock on his cell and es-
caped with another lad about his age. Fortunately the
tWo were captured before succeeding in stealing anotlier
car. And we are left to wonder where he learned that
trick about the tooth brush.
There is something wrong with any system which is
supposed to build character but succeeds only in destroy-
ing it. There is something wrong with the state reform
school system. The juvenile judges know it and most of
them go to great lengths to avoid sending boys to these
“schools.” ,
This situation certainly justifies some investigation
and it seems to us that now is the opportune time for such
a probe. Whatever is wrong probably can be cured with-
out a great deal of expense or trouble. But it certainly
should be cured. Civilization has advanced too far to per-
mit continued maintenance by any government of crime
mills such as the Texas reformatory system.
Slot* Deportment Changes ] Demand for Modernisation
Bxpected Under Marthall | May Renovate Department
Specie/ to Control freer
• WASHINGTON—Secretary of State George C. Marshall hae ,
given no hint, ao far, of hia plana for the atate department But '
there are many employee, especially at the departments newer
services, who are quaking in their boot*. ......... -
They are troubled largely by the Republican control at Congreaa,
coupled with the demand* of Senator Arthur !L Vandenberg (R)
of Michigan tjwt the department be gotten out of the rote of the
past, be dusted oft and modernised. ...
Moreover, Uiey know that former Secretary James Byrnes had
planned a wide reorganisation to modernise the
foreign service, In fact the budget bureau made
a thorough study of the department, which would
revise It greatly. Byrnes, busy at distant con-
ferences, never acted.
Observer* expect speedy overhauling by Mar-
shall. Bis impatience with delay is . too deeply
Ingrained to permit of any laggard operations In
hia department.
There la one thing, however, that might defeat
Mm. Marshall Is due to leave won for Moscow,
where he will tie buay for many months. Som*
observers think that he must have hia reorganiza-
tion plan pretty well thought out and order it
put Into effect Immediately. Otherwise, some of
the old hand* who are accustomed to their
leisurely existence may sabotage his alms.
• HAROLD" ICKES WON’T LIKE THIS—but Republican*
thinking of restoring tha name of Hoover to Boulder dam.
Rep. Jack Anderson (R) of California introduced a bill to honor
former President Herbert Hoover by putting hl» name back on tho
world's highest dsm.
Rumblings against It are heard In the Interior department, whera
Democrats still hold sway. But Congress could override the depart-
ment," «course. President Truman, an Innocent bystander, may
haWI to decide the lasue. ^ ^
THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING DEMAND in CongrcB* for
labor ogtristion. But Congress ia finding out that the urge for
actloa Is a boat tbs only thing that membera have in common on
the question.
There are almost as many pmpoeed weys of doing the Job as there
are membera of Congress.
What this adds up to Is a lot ,pf delay-and argument before any
kind of labor legislation Is passed. And beyond that la the threat
of veto by President Truman, which would bring the necessity that
both Houses muster two-thirds majorities If any legislation is to go
on the books.
The Senate labor committee decided to open hearings Jan. 23 and
close them Mar. 1. That meane that a labor bill probably will not
be prepared before the middle of April. Assuming that the floor
battles will last a month, it will be mid-May before a labor bill
could go to the White House.
If It then 1* acceptable to the president, the nation’* labor potlcies
would be altered or clarified. But If It la vetoed. It
would kill probability of labor legislation this year. Vale of
H -will be pretty hard to pass anything over the lobor |M,
president's veto—and' Congress Is planning to ad-
journ early in July. Possible •
• THE GOVERNMENT CAFETERIA STRIKE brought to light a
little known custom. If workers went outside the building for lunch
and spent more than 30 minutes, the extra time had to be deducted
from their vacation time.
The practice was revealed when government agencies announced
waiver of the rul# during the strike.
