AUSTIN, April 8 (UP) Gover-
nor Allred today referred an inves-
tigation of reported brutality in
the state prison system to the pris-
on board.
“They arc the proper ones to in-
vestigate,” the Governor said. “If
the Legislature is interested, it can
investigate too.
“After all the Governor has little
to do with the prison system. He
appoints three members of the
board. I believe their terms start
in .lune,” Allred said.
He rode horseback yesterday af-
ternoon in Austin’s hills with Ran-
ger Captain Fred McDaniel, sent
to the prison system to investigate
alleged brutal whipping of prison-
ers.
“Captain McDaniel has not yet
filed a formal report on his in-
vestigation, but he told me he
was unable to find where anyone
had been whipped,” the governor
said.
McDaniel investigated a com-
pact between two convicts who
maimed one another to escape
work in the fields. The ranger
found no recent scars from whips
on either, but did ascertain that
one has been convicted of mur-
dering his father, the othAr of an
offense on his sister.

The New Deal urged its loan

the $2,000,000,000 mortgage busi- i

High pressure letters from the

urged member banks to go after ’
the $2,000,000,000 worth of mort-
gages which hard-pressed home
owners must renew during 1935.
T. D. Webb, vice-chairman, sug-
gested that wherever possible, the
loan banks should take over short
term mortgages and turn them in-
to long-time loans.
WASHINGTON, April 8 (UP)
— The department of commerce

the highest since 1930.
“Business conditions in Febru-

“While the rise in industrial
production fell short of the usual
seasonal increase following the
rapid upturn of the two preceding
months, employment and pay rolls,
