Author of 'My Six Convicts' Will Speak at Fullerton Public Forum "No chapter in my life can equal the color, excitement, and appeal of that time which is reported in 'My Six Convicts,' says Dr. Donald Powell Wilson, psychology consultant and author of the best-selling Book-of-the-Month club February, 1951, selections, who will speak at the Fullerton Public Forum in Fullerton Union high school auditorium Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Back in 1931 Dr. Wilson accepted a post with the U. S. Public Health Service to investigate relationship between criminality and drug addiction of prisoners at Fort Leavenworth penitentiary in Kansas: For his project, a regular staff of assistants, was needed. He had two thousand men to choose from—all criminals. He selected six and it is upon their personalities that his book mainly turns. Half of Dr. Wilson's work was done once he gained the good-will of these six, who would in turn secure for him the good-will of fellow-prisoners. This was not easy; he had been warned when he started his three-year study: "You'd better be a bright guy, or you may be a dead one." As prison psychologist, Dr. Wilson came to know secrets about the prisoners, which, divulged DR. DONALD P. WILSON (Forum Speaker) "Most people," says Wilson, "think of prisoners in the same terms that 19th century writers built their factual characters with no good in the worst of them, no bad in the best. If my book differs from other current literature on prisons of today, it may be because I've tried to let the prisoners' voices be heard in a society that, by its penal philosophy, is still all but silencing that voice." A consulting psychologist for many years, Dr. Wilson admits to being an incurable optimist despite all the frustrations, complexes, neuroses and other mental aberrations he has observed. He was born in 1900 in Minneapolis. Principal speaker at the Main general meeting and breakfast at the Retail division will be Larry Hayes, according to a bulletin sent out today by the Chamber of Commerce. The breakfast meeting will held at the Dorothy-Wade restaurant Thursday, March 13 at 7 a.m. Members will be served breakfast of orange juice, country-style sausage and eggs, hot roast and steaming hot coffee. Mr. Hayes, general manager of Hometown Newspapers of West, will speak on the subject "Reader Surveys, Accomplishments Thru Stanford University." The newspaper man with long experience in the field of advertising Hayes is well versed on the advertising problems confronted in modern merchandising. Main business of the meeting will be the presentation of first plans for the change-over to Friday night store hours by all Arnheim merchants. Effective Friday March 21 all stores will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every Friday. Store hours for other days of the week, including Saturday will be 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Jack Ballard, vice chairman of the Retail division, will be charge of the meeting.

This was not easy; he had been warned when he started his three-year study: "You'd better be a bright guy, or you may be a dead one." As prison psychologist, Dr. Wilson came to know secrets about the prisoners, which, divulged even unconsciously, would have jeopardized his work. Proof of his alertness can be read in his book account or heard at his forum talk. The idea of recording his experiences at Leavenworth never occurred to Dr. Wilson while he was there. He made no notes, kept no records apart from research data. However, at urging of friends and after long delay, chance meeting with one of the former inmates gave him the necessary impetus to start his dramatic story.

CENTER ST., ANAHEIM Tune in GROUCHO MARX in "You Set Your Life"—every week on both Radio and Senate Near Vote On Tidelands Amendments WASHINGTON (P)—The Senate neared a vote today on the first of a dozen amendments proposed to pending legislation for federal control of the oil-rich offshore coastal lands. Sponsored by 20 Senators, the amendment would specifically surrender any federal interest to lands beneath inland navigable waters. Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) contended in calling up the amendment yesterday that it would ratify assertions made repeatedly by officials of the executive agencies. He also expressed hope that it would calm any fears of the inland states that the federal government might at some future time claim paramount rights to the beds of rivers, lakes, bays, harbors and inlets. Such fears have been voiced in arguments by opponents of the federal control plan. The amendment also would shut the door to any claim of the federal government to docks, piers Educator Talks To Anaheim Rotary Maurice Jones, Jr., president of San Marino school trustees and a member of other educational groups, yesterday noon addressed the Anaheim Rotary club on the subject, "no federal aid to education." Mr. Jones, an attorney, opposed huge grants from the government for education saying the federal government collects money by taxes from local communities, takes some of it out, and then returns a portion of the money to local schools. This, said Mr. Jones, gives the "illusion of something for nothing" and encourages free spending by schools. Actually, collecting and spending education money on the local level is a much better deal—both economically and educatonally, Mr. Jones stated. From the educational angle he argued that government controls on school money and the ensuing federal supervision could lead to socialism. Our schools, he said, and other structures jutting into the off-shore area where the Supreme court has ruled the federal government has paramount rights to the land and minerals.
