PRISONER STUDY URGED BY JUDGE Schaeffer Proposes Three Types Institutions Study of prisoners before finally committed, and the setting up of three different types of institutions was advocated by President Judge Paul N. Schaeffer in an address to the Men's Club of the First Evan gelical and Reformed Church Mon day night in Easton. Sentencing judges. Judsre Schaef fer declared, should recommend only whether sentence be suspended or the defendant jailed, leaving the time to be served to be determined by prison officials. Under the system proposed by the president Judge of the Berks courts, "receiving station" would be created where various types of prisoners could be studied.

Later they would be committed to one of three institutions: One maximum security; the second, medium security, and the third, minimum security. Such a system, he explained, would permit the segregation of first offenders from hardened criminals, and permit those committed to an institution of maximum security to be transferred to a minimum security institution and thus learn to gradually adjust themselves to freedom.
