AS POPULATION OF PEN
HITS RECORD PEAK
HUNTSVILLE (UP)-Gov. James
V. Allred has complained to the
Texas Board of Pardons and Par-
oles because of increasing numbers
of convicts in state prisons.
“Off the record” criticism from
members of the Texas Prison board
has been directed at the pardons
and paroles group as reports show
the record number of 6,662 convlots.
There are approximately twice as
many convicts in the prison system
now as there were when Pat Neff,
seldom-pardoning governor, was in
office.
Total of clemencies granted in
1937 was 8.7 per cent less than for
any year since 1S33. Prison records
show that only one full pardon was
granted last year as compared with
five In 1936, 32 in 1935, and 143 in
1934.
Going to Chicago in a trade for the hard-hitting Zeke Bonura, Joe
Kuhel, former Washington Senator star, will give the White Sox some
of the classiest first-basing the Windy City has seen in seasons. A1
though considered a far better fielder than hitter, Kuhel will be one of
the most dangerous men in the Sox’ lineup if he returns to his .320 form
of two years ago.
