crime Ami Puiilsliiiient

"An eye for an eye, and a iootli for a tooth." is to a great extent society's ap- proach to crime today as it has been for thousands of years. Many individuals have questioned the validity of the solution, but very rarely have criminals themselves been intelligent enough, interested enough, 0-‘ fluent. enough to describe at all 'dC(‘.llI‘al£‘l:.‘ why they are what they are.

When Prentice-Hall, Inc., New York publishers, announced that they were is- suing the autobiography of Caryl Chess- man who was awaiting execution for ab- duction, a first and probably general re- action was distaste for such morbid sell- sationalisni. “Cell 2455 Death Row”, how- ever. is a remarkable attempt by a youth- ful bandit and tough to explain not only what he did but the much mole difficult question of why he did it.

Throughout the book it is emphasized that he is only one of a multitude who find themselves at war with society, a war in which little quarter is asked or given. It is all too obvious to the reader that if Chessman had devoted a fraction of the ability and determination be expended in fighting the law to more acceptable ob- jects he would readily have become a sub- stantial and respected citizen. It was equally obvious to Chessman.

Power is already being produced on a small scale at Harwell. in England. and further developments are planned at Cal- der Hall in Cumberland and at the north- crn tip of Scotland. the latter to be of the breeder type. In Pittsburgh. also. a large

installation is being built in spite of the -

fact that the energy produced will cost

What brings the matter to mind at tho A

moment is a passage from the Falconer lectures delivered by Lady Violet Bonham

Carter and now issued in pamplet form.. The daughter of Prime Minister (and Earl)

Asquith said:

“Let me assure you that it is with deep

humility and grave trepidation that I ap- proach this learned audience. for alas!— let me make a clean breast of it—I have never myself had the benefit of a Univer- sity education. In fact, belonging as I do to a generation in which to educate wo- men was considered at the best unneces- sary and at the worst dangerous, I have never in my life been inside any educa- tional establishment—a school, a univer- sity or even a kindergarten—exccpt to givc away prizes to other people better educat- ed than myself."
