PAGE EIGHT. CAPITOL NEWS LETTER (Weekly news release of the Iowa Press Association. Material contained herein does not necessarily conform to the editorial policy of this newspaper.) One of the questions which may come before the special session of the legislature meeting this week in Des Moines could easily be "What are we going to do about our prisons When Gov. Hickenlooper ordered the probe into the New Year's day break from the state reformatory at Anamosa reopened, he put his finger on what has long been a sore spot In both parties. Some people feel that the legislature has never taken the time or made the effort to determine what is needed to properly run our penal institutions.

The legislature has caught the heat for the fact that guards of the highest class can be paid only $125 at the penitentiary and reformatory- Second class guards receive S110 and third class. $100 a month. Others contend that the legislature has done as well as it could under the circumstances with Iowa not enjoying such a large treasury surplus until the last few years. So it is just possible that the legislature may take some action during the special session. If it does this action probably would be in the form of appointing a committee to make an investigation of conditions with a view toward correcting them at the next regular session.

A PATTERN. As a matter of fact, a pattern for prison reform in Iowa may be set in the report which Chief R. W. Nebergall. of the Iowa division of criminal investigation, turns in following his probe at the reformatory.

The best authorities will agree that some reform is needed and those who know more about it than any others will tell you that the state would save money in the long run if it would institute a reform which might be costly today. For instance, while men are taught some trades while they are in Iowa prisons they are not given thorough training. They may be taught something in which they have no interest. Then again, there may be a need for. say a barber, in a prison.

An incoming convict takes up the trade and learns it, becomes interested in it and wants to continue with it when he serves out his debt to society. Under our laws today he cannot be granted a license to be a barber because he has a felony on his record. A few corrections like that, penal experts argue, which might prove costly today, would result in cutting crime, and. it follows, crime's cost, in 10 or 20 vears. gasoline rationing, draft registration etc.

All of the men who made the Inst nine attempts to escape from Iowa institutions were back behind bars with in a matter of 31 hours with the ex ception of one who remained free from the law for nearly four days. One of the reasons they find it hard going is that none of the escapees have draft registration cards so are unable to show them if a demand is made. If they were in prison nt the time of the registration in October 19-10 they were not registered but are registered upon leaving on a discharge, parole or pardon. If they are registered and then were convicted to prison at later date, their draft cards arc taken up when they enter the prison to be returned upon discharge. Thus, no escapee has a draft card.

Gasoline rationing is another bugaboo. Most escaping convicts rob someone of his car. But, unless they can get his gasoline coupons too, they have to give it up when it runs out of gasoline, or else break into some station for gasoline. This leaves their trail in big letters and it is an easier job for the law to catch up with them. When it is notified promptly the state police radio system is also a big aid for it enables peace officers to congregate quickly in any given area, cutting off get aways soon after escape is made.

SOLDIER-LEGISLATOR. One record probably will be established when the 1944 extra session of the legislature adjourns. Unless something happens to his well-laid plans between now and then, one of the legislators is going to have the distinction of having been given a furlough by the army in order to attend the session. He is Rep. Earl C.

Fishbaugh, Shenandoah, who went into the army after the regular session ended last year. He is presently stationed in. a camp in Florida and was granted a 15-day furlough in which to attend the special session. While many other former members of the legislature are in the services, none of them retained their posts after they entered. Rep.

Fishbaugh probably will be the only man in Iowa history to attend a session as a sitting representative with his uniform on while the war was in progress. HINT A CANDIDATE. Four years ago G. W. Hunt, Gutten berg, was elected to the Iowa senate.

When he started his second session in 1943. he was named floor leader of the important job that usually is not entrusted to any except those with more legislative experience He did a good job and last week he came out for the lieutenant governor's nomination. One of his opponents will be Senator Hugh Lundy, Albia. who ran for the same post unsuccessfully in 1942 and another will be Senator K. A.

Evans, Emmerson. Others are liable to turn up. Senator Hunt served two terms as Clayton county attorney, was first president of the Iowa State Society for Crippled Children, past district Rotary governor, a member of the American Legion, chairman of the present school code commission, and of the Iowa State Bar Association's legislative committee. He was a former school superintendent and at present practices law and owns some weekly newspapers. POLICE RADIO.

One of the functions of state government which will undergo scrutiny, along with the reformatory conditions, is the state police radio system. There is nothing wrong with the syrtem as such. It has proved its worth too often. But there seems to be some misunderstanding about who is to notify it of escapes and who is to notify it of the fact that escapees are captured, if and when they are. It was three hours after the last four convicts escaped from a prison farm near Anamosa before the news was broadcast to the peace officers throughout the state by police radio system.

It was nearly eight hours after they escaped that it was noticed, since it occurred after the regular bed check. Thus, they had an 11 hour head start on officers. When the first two of the four were captured, it was sb: hours and five minutes before the police radio was notified of the fact so it could cancel its broadcast for them. In the case of the second pair, police were looking for them more than 10 hours after they had been captured, again because the radio system didn't broadcast a notice that they had been captured. Governor Hickenlooper included the police radio system in his order to reinvestigate at Anamosa.

So it is possible the probers may throw some light on this subject. JUNIOR CHAMBERS It is said in the eastern parts of the state that friends have been attempting to induce Fred Schwengel, Davenport insurance man and president of the Iowa Junior Chamber of Commerce, to run for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor. While he is reportedly cool to all overtures, it would not be surprising in view of the number of more or less political speeches he has made while visiting various junior chambers of commerce in his travels of inspection about the state. Schwengel. if he were to become a candidate, would face opposition from experienced legislators.

They Pass Out Bouquets For Hunt's Candidacy ESCAPE DIFFICULT. While on the subject of escapes, it is something to note that they are much more difficult in wartimes because of Another Northeast Iowa Republican became a candidate for state office Saturday when G. W. Hunt of Guttenberg announced his candidacy for lieutenant governor on the Republican ticket. Mr.

Hunt has served one term in the state senate a.id at the session a year ago was Republican floor leader. While many Republicans have had little opportunity to become acquainted with Mr. Hunt, the Gazette editor has had a personal acquaintance with him for several years, and places his unqualified endorsement on his candidacy. He is a thoughtful, conscientious legislator, and we know he will make a fine state officer. He is highly regarded by members of the state legislature where he has rapidly come to the front, even in his first Gazette.

Senator G. W. Hunt of Guttenberg has announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor in the June primary election. "Gerry'' as he is best known to his friends and business associates is a man of well-rounded experience and has shown himself to be able and popular. He was a former school superintendent, then studied law and was admitted to the bar, is a banker and owns the Guttenberg newspaper.

In the Senate the past year he has been very prominent. We believe he will make a good Lieutenant Governor and hope that he not only gets the job but that Clayton County will see one of her men elevated to the governorship. We do not know whether the county has ever furnished a chief executive to its state or not. Maybe somebody can enlighten us on Point Press Journal. D.

Marines, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Chamberlain of tins city, writes a very interesting letter to- his parents about conditions in the Bougainville theater of operations where he is now located. Earl recently wrote that Carl Johansen of Elkader, nephew of Mrs. Harvey Q.

Christofferson of this city, is his Sergeant Major. He also told of the longing the boys have for newspapers or other reading matter and how some of their mail had reached them soaking wet, so they laid it out on the beach to dry before they all gathered 'round to read it. Here's Earl's letter: "Dear beginning to think that the postmasters are on a strike due to our very poor postal service. While here, all I've received is my watch and a couple of letters. "The censorship regulations have eased up a little bit now and allow us to tell where we've been and what we have been doing.

I'm one of the many who participated in the Empress Au- usta Bay campaign. We landed on a small island before reaching Bougainville and while there we came in contact with the enemy and lead really flew for awhile. And so was everything else, for that matter. The first day looked like an air show and the Fourth of July combined. I'm not allowed to say anything else about Bougainville and what took place, except that I pulled through with only the loss of a few pounds and a hell of a lot of close calls and scares.

'One point of interest on Bougainville is that it has a large volcano which seems to get very uneasy at times. About three times out of five days it gets the hiccoughs and shakes and in between times it quivers the island a bit. The peak can only be seen on real clear days, otherwise the clouds are below the summit. It has a large roll of smoke pouring out of it all the time. I haven't heard any signs of it overflowing as yet, but if it does, I hope it flows toward the Japs.

"I certainly wished we could send I some of this heat that we have during the day and the rain to everyone back there. We're getting too much rain for our crops and foxholes down here. It's also helping the mosquitoes to multiply quite rapidly. "We have several newspaper reporters in our outfit and they are really on the job at all times. Every time you see one, they are half running.

They're enlisted Marines who hold the rank of staff sergeant or better and when in civilian life they did this type of work as a profession. "I received the snapshots that you sent of those two boys I was with while at Camp Pendleton. They now are in the division that you said Vern Stover is in, and they were in the Gilbert Islands the last I heard. I didn't see that dog you were speaking about, although I saw another one our major has. "You asked me if I'd like for you to send some sweets and nuts.

I think after a bit I'll be where I will have access to candy, etc. But if you would care to, I would like to have some of those delicious cookies you bake, as that's something we very seldom ever get. Oh. yes, anytime you would like to send some newspaper clippings, I'd be more than glad to receive them. We're so hard up for reading material that we read the advertisements on the bands around our toilet tissue.

"I believe Bougainville has the largest pineapple plant ever grown. They are about 20 feet high, that is, their leaves. We also have acres and acres of banana trees, but among my trails all I have seen is one tree with bananas on it and that's and that's a short distance from my fox-hole. The undergrowth is so thick that it prevents the fruit-bearing trees from producing. I haven't eaten any coconuts for about three months guess we've all filled up on them.

"The food to start out up hero was pretty bad, but now we are getting plenty to eat, because the army al ways feeds us Marines well. "I think probably I'd better close now and hope we have a post office operating over here where our mail can get moving. Hope everyone's O. in perfect health. EARL." to to Bob Bachtell Promoted.

Lt. Robert Bachtell, who has been seeing much action over enemy territory in the Mediterranean area, for which he has received several citations, recently was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant. In a letter to his wife who now lives in Cedar Rapids Bob writes that he is resting at present on the famous Isle of Capri before going back into action. Along with his recent promotion, Bob was also made a Flight Officer. to to Call Clayton County Men.

Among the selectees in Clayton county called for January is Harlan Koopmann of Luana. Going to Des Moines last week for pre-induction examination from that county were Bob McNally and C. Adrian Riveland of Luana, and Gordon Schultz and Carlton Mielke of Monona. Mr. Schultz is the husband of the former Eileen Meyer, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. W. L. Meyer of this city. to to i A letter today keeps the blues away.

Coming Home From England. Just about the happiest people in Postville today are Mr. and Mrs. L. Hill who vestcrday had a phone call from their son.

Petty Officer Lotus Hill, saying he had arrived in Isew York from England where he had been stationed on an LCI of the amphibious forces. Louis, who joined the Coast Guard in October 1942, went to the Mediterranean area early last year and participated in the Sicilian and Salerno invasions, then was sent to England. It is believed he has been returned to this country to receive specialized training. He is expected home tonight for a 10-day leave. to to Kenneth Evans Expected Home.

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Evans received a telegram from their son. Gunners Mate Kenneth Evans, stating that he is at a western port and expects to come home soon on a 30-day leave. It will be remembered that Kenneth, who has seen much action in the Pacific area, was wounded in an encounter with the Japs last year, after which he came home for recuperation.

to to Keeping Up With Our Boys. In addition to the changes of addresses as given in the letters published this week, several others have come in to us. Corporal John W. Hale is in the air service somewhere in India. Carlton Schroeder is now on one of Uncle Sam's big battleships in the Pacific zone.

Theirs are restricted addresses, so we cannot publish them in the Herald. Sergeant Henry John Paulsen was transferred recently from Saco. Maine, to High Pine, Maine. Cpl. Arthur Thoma has gone from Ft.

Jackson, South Carolina, to maneuvers near Nashville. according to word received Saturday by his wife. Lt. Charles Bachtell, who had been stationed at Alliance, Nebraska, now has the following new address: Lt. C.

B. Bachtell, 442nd Troop Carrier Group, 306th Sqdn. AAF, Pope Field. Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Since going to his new post, Charles has also been made a first flight officer.

Private Kenneth Looney. who had been stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, has been transferred, and his address now reads, Pvt. Kenneth Looney, 288th F. H. Observation Camy McCoy.

Wisconsin. We should have listed Donald Folsom last week as having been given an overseas address, since he now gets his mail care of Postmaster, New Orleans, La. Sgt. Willard Thoma has been transferred from Shreveport, where he had been stationed for some time past, and the following is now his address: Sgt. Willard Thoma, Headquarters 389th F.

A. Battalion, APO. 445. Postmaster, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. to DEAR BOYS: For over a year now we have been addressing this weekly letter to you people in the various services and always we use the salutation.

'TJear Boys." The thought struck us this week that perhaps the girls think we are unmindful of them because we do Kelly. not include them in the salutation. No i Klocke, Simon such thing This having women in uniform is so new to us that we just haven't become accustomed to it and we want them to feel they are included in anything we might have to write here. The chief topic of conversation here still is the weather. We've had little snow to speak of; perhaps an inch or two that lingered with us only till the sun shone down on it.

Otherwise this winter has been one long springlike season, and suddenly this week we get reports of caterpillars crawling about town, trees and shrubs sprouting leaves and blossoms and a fisherman or two out digging worms for fish-bait. While down town Sunday morning to pick up the mail we were told by a few of our local golfers that they were going out to the links to play a round or two think of that, in January. Yep. the war has changed even the weather along with other modes of living. Walking up to the depot to mail some letters the other night we cut through the park and overheard a couple of young-uns romancing.

Said she, "I shall love to share all your troubles." And he replied shyly, "But, darling, I don't have any." And she came back with, "Silly, I mean after we're married." As we predicted last week, the northeastern Iowa communities from which you folks have gone forth, really went over the top with a bang in the Fourth War Loan Drive. Postville finished the job within four hours; Allamakee county was first over in the state, according to a report from Des Moines headquarters Saturday. Local committees were well organized and did an outstanding job just like you folks are doing. Why, down at Elgin, Rich Strauch of the Echo reports a sign on a tavern on the opening day of the bond drive reading, "No beer today.
