Bennett. director of U.S.

Bureau Prisons for the past 22 vears. It is a challenge that can't be laughed off. The cost of crime payers is going up every year. In 1946 there were 121,000 prisoners in state institutions and 17.000 in federal institutions. For 1956 the figures were 168,000 and 20,000 35 per increase in 10 years.

Numbers are expected to rise further as population and crime rates go up. Federal prison population increasing at the rate of 400 more inmates every year. Thirty federal institutions -built, to. accommodate about 15.000 prisoners are now 30 per cent overcrowded. Last year Bureau of Prisons went to Congress with a 15-million-dollar construction program to take care of more youthful.

prisoners and more maximum custody prisoners like bank robbers. -These two categories show maior increases today. Caught in the economy drive, Congress turned down the request. But sooner. rather than later.

That in itself is a major contribution toward making criminals pay for their own: upkeep.

As a matter of fact. all goods and services produced by Federal Prison Industries are for government use. Nothing is sold on the open market in competition with private industry. This moves the old stigma against "prison labor." Only 4.000, or about 25 per cent, of the prisoners are now employed in prison industries. They so were paid an average of $27.50 a month in wages.

Most of this money has to be saved or sent charges. This is: another factor in making crime pay-for itself--in the newer and better meaning. Out of its earnings, Federal Prison Industries -supports vocational training schools at a cost. of. about $500,000 10.000 a prisoners vear.

By the same token, they say, the individual lawmakers representing states or congressional districts cannot be expected to hold the national viewpoint, uppermost.

Alas, it was the bandit! The latter whipped out a gun SI and killed the loyal police officer. Then the robber, brandishing two guns, headed for the car in which Rev. Gingery was seated. The bandit fired at the minister but missed. The clergyman meanwhile had seized a -shotgun from the back seat.
