The Issue is now being pondered by the House Judiciary Committee. James V. Bennett, director of the U.S.

Bin can of Prisons, has made no firm recommendation, He has only pointed out that one or more federal prisons must be closed to keep within Ihe proposed budget, that operation costs at Alcatraz are erces-sively high but that the psychological factor behind Alcalraz Is the big question-mark. Abandonment of Alcatrav. wouldn't be tu total saving in any case. The Federal government still would have to establish in one of its 25 other prisons a "maximum security block" whcie Incorrigible prisoners could be kept safely and apart from other prisoners for whom there is sonic hope of rehabilitnlion. All large penal institutions have such by criminals "Klon- rtlkes."

Ol one thing he Is lure: That all hardened criminals live In mortal fear of winding up on Alcatraz.

He permits no brutality against tn- matcs there, but prisoners are allowed a minimum of privelcges, and the discipline is more severe than In any olher American Institution. Those who enter lUhave no hope of delivery or paroleT has ever escaped, although two men once did dive Into the cold- swift currents that sweep the rock. They are believed to liavn drowned. No one has ever been paroled from Alcatrau. Men can, however, work Iheir way back some olher prison by years of good behavior.

Alcatraz now hat 228 prlsoners- nearly all of whom Bennett know personally. This is 26 percent fewe than the peak year, 1938. The tota population of all federal prisons I now a smaller portion of the hard ened, Intractable, desparate lyp who need Alcatraz treatmen The chief reasons Alcatraz Is ostly that It requires one uslodian to every two prisoners instead of one la live as in other rlsons) arid that there Is no water All water has to be raiuporkd by barge from the mainland. Even soil has to be ship- led to the Rock If a warden decides raise a few flowers or vegetables. Alcalraz cost $3,000,000, and It would cost to replace It.

If the doors finally swing open, the sea gulls and the fog will soon take over the dank halls where Al Capone and his henchmen lived their longest years. Arkansas's gross farm income from chickens and eggs (including commercial broilers) hit a new all- time high In 1948 at $57,392,000, up 23 per cent from 1941. Forty-two per cent of the gross came frorr commercial broilers, of which Arkansas produced more than 24 million, or 7 per cent of U. S.

What part did Atcatraz play In the victory? Will criminals become bolder if there is no more Alcatraz? No one really knows. That's why Congress intends to do a lot of thinking before it lets Alcatraz go As to whether Alcalraz. or any olhcr prison, deters criminals.

Director Bennett has onlv two broad convictions: (I) That iy do not deter those who commit accidental crime or crimes of passion, pscho- paths or alcoholics', (2) That they -do deter many persons who are temped to do such things as steal or file fraudulent tax returns.
