Washington, March 12—
Representative Kenny of
New Jersey introduced a
bill in the house today to
send convicted federal pris
oners to island colonies, to
save the government mon
ey and to make pioneers
out of them.
He recommended the Al
eutian Islands, Kahoolawe
and Niihau in the Hawaiian
Islands, and San Clements
off the California coast.
“I like the Aleutians best
where the mercury never it
below minus twelve de
grees, nor higher than 70.
The average is 39 degrees,
in that section”, said Ken
ny
Delegate Dimond protest
ed immediately saying “3
months after, the safe crack
ers would raid the reindeer
and would breed like rab
bits with the Indians. It is
true that a policing system
consisting of a few fast
boats would prevent escap
es, but we do not want pio
neers made out of prison
ers, who will become soft,
after they had proved their
ability to cope with nature
in the raw, allowing the
government to give them a
radio and perhaps a wash
