With its , ,1'...'''''''',.. 1 pl I 1 1 1 in ,I. , , Not many years ago, burglary was the single most common sentence bringing new prisoners into the Utah State Prison. Time served usually ran ' from 18 months to two years. Today, robbery is the most common sentence reflecting not only the increase in crime, but the shift to more violent crimes. The average sentence for robbery is 4 years, 7 months. The result is an expanding prison population, 100 more than last year and projected for increasing growth. That fact has spurred pressure for expanded correction facilities to handle the increasing load. Just a few days ago Utah Board of Corrections chairman David Hughes declared the state "will need new facilities of some kind." His board has directed the Division of Corrections to begin planning now for additional prison facilities to "meet this problem head . on," But rather than just a larger prison, Utah needs a more diverse correctional system to improve rehabilitation chances for 'prisoners by avoiding the effects of mixing all different types of felons. In this respect, California offers some valuable insights. Its 13 different facilities handle such specialized as sex offenders, psychiatric criminal, the cases, the hard-cor- e juvenile, and other categories. Some of these, of course, are impractical in Utah because the off-ro- ad t t.....3, Beehive State has far fewer numbers of criminals in each category, compared to California. But the concept is important . Everyone knows that if a young is thrown in with a hardened criminal, he comes out of prison not rehabilitated but smarter in the ways of crime. first-offend- Nor is the idea of rehabilitation dead, as some voices are contending. An article in the current Corrections Magazine reports that 63 percent of prison officials in the U.S. believe that programs in correctional institutions do prevent some offenders from returning to crime. And an additional 14 percent said there was not enough evidence to justify scrapping rehabilitation programs. Administrators were even more emphatic in support of community corrections programs, such as halfway houses for Adults and group homes for juveniles. About 90 percent said such programs are effective; 78 percent said that community programs are more effective than programs offered in institutions. P, , I 1 ' , It ti 0.

In New Hampshire, Democrat John Durkin and Republican Louis Wyman ran the closest Senate race in history last November. No one knows who was the legitimate winner. Both candidates have agreed another election should be held, to let the voters decide. But under the provision of the Constitution allowing the Senate to be judge of the qualifications of its members, the Senate has decided to make the decision itself. There are 61 Democrats and 38 Republicans in the Senate. So far, the deliberations over the election look like a blatant steal by the majority party. For example, a number of "skip ballots" were cast for each candidate. On those ballots, the voter put an X under tne party of his choice to vote a ballot. He also marked an X party-lin- e by the name of each candidate of that party except the candidate for senator. New Hampshire praetiee is to accept those ballots as votes for all of the candidates of the party that was marked.

Sydney HATris Yugoslavia, Hobart Bowen L a, WASHINGTON --- The curious thing about high unem ployment is not so much that the administration tolerates as Sen. Hubert Humit but that phrey complains the public itself is so accepting of a jobless rate that a few years ago might have precipitated riots. "A 5 percent, 6 percent, 7 percent unemployment tate for the rest of this decade is not acceptable politically, economically, morally or any other way," Humphrey told a Washington conference on full employment recently. "But people are being conditioned to accept these rates." How has this happened?

Romania, on the other hand, has allowed some 300.000 Jews to emigrate, most of them to Israel, over the past 20 years. There are now no more than 100,000 left in at the maximum Romania. Moreover, Romania is the only Eastern European state that kept formal diplomatic relations with Israel after Israel's conquest of Arab lands in the 1961 war.

The vast majority of people with jobs are more concerned about inflation than unemployment. They are all too ready to accept the notion that a high jobless rate will slow down the erosion of the purchasing value of their dollars. The economic validity of the trade-o- ff is open to question: high unemployment weakens the whole nation, threatens all jobs, and creates the biggest part of the budget deficit. But the "I've got mine, Jack" philoFophy seems to prevail. Thus, the Ford administrafion probably has made the right political decision, in the sense that a declining rate of inflation next year, coupled with the right trend of unemployment, will work to its even if the level advantage of unemployment remains, as expected, around 8 percent. When you come right down to it, for all the noises that the Democrats make about the inadequacy oi Mr. Fold' economic programs, they have pretty much bought his line. There is little to distinguish between the unerop'.oymeat and budget deficit targets set out by the -controlled Democratic- Congress and thnse projected by the President. Both political parties have accepted the philosophy that excessive stimulus to the economy will merely regenerate inflation, and ultimately cause a new recession. Now we have been assured by Economic Council Chairman Alan Greenspan that the recession is over "for all practical purposes." Leading indicators confirm the statistical trend. Treasury Secretary William E. Simon, meanwhile, talks lowingly of achieving a 6 percent growth in real Gross National Product for the second half of this year and into 1976. But plainly, that's not adequate. Just to stay even with the normal growth of the labor force, the economy must move ahead at an annual rate of 4 percent. And applying an accepted rule of thumb (Okun's Law), a 1 emppercent reduction in loyment is associated with a 3 percent gain in real GNP.
