But we spent the last half of the program on improvised sealing up on the narrow cat walk surrounding the auditorium, and separa'ed from It by an iron grill, where the guards patrol dur ing assemblage of the prisoners. I spent a good deal of the time, par ticularly during the fire-eating act, wondering what would be come of us if the blazing torches should Ignite the draperies or stage scenery, for that mass of people attempting to Ille out thoruch the one or two narrow exits I could find would be more difficult than a camel going through the proverbial eye or. a needle. Foolishly I consoled myself mat anynow 1 was sitting in iront of a window only to discover that the window very efficiently barr ed and totally inaccessible, and below the window was a twenty or thirty-foot drop to a gray, uninviting cement court yard, and beyond that the quiet dark cur rent of the mill stream silently protesting the brick and cement confines through which it passes. After the entire program was over, when I laughlnlg asked one of the guards if they had fire drills often, he said "not very often; this place is fire proof it nas to tie. Humor Injected A good many bits of light heart ed humor were displayed by the performing prisoners. The master of ceremonies, who reminded me of one or two well known film characters, was thoroughly at home in a tuxedo and only brought us back to his enforced presence by such remarks as "We nave with us tonight I don't know why I said that because we nave mm wnn us every nigm, or, when Introducing a young Ne gro tap dancer, "If Jim's feet had moved half this fast the night that policemen tapped him on the shoulder he wouldn't be here now." But I was more impressed with the pathos of the situation. The stars weren't in srtlpes. They were in evening clothes, or white Jnckets and bow ties and looked very uebonalre. A charming young Irish tenor singing Sigmund Romberg's "One Alone'' hauntlngly declared that "Lonely asa desert breeze, I may wander wTTPre I please." Then singing with a group of "Main liners' won were very dehonaire In while suits we heard the Whlf- fenproof song with new signifi cance: "We are little black sheep who have gone astray" and later with real feeling they finished the chorus which you all know "Doomed from here lo eternity God have mercy on such as we." Then as fitting grand climax the entire cast and orchestra sang and played "Now Is the Hour' and left us with the reminder that "When you return youll find me waiting here." The haunting strains of the vio lin, played by a fine looking young fellow, followed me from the hall and somehow I saw a mother who sometime In the past had had to nag her little son to Dr. E. W.

Balrd reported today. Entry to the building was made through a window on the east side. The door to the office from a corridor was pried open. The safe was damaged, papers were mussed, but no money was taken, the chief said. The burglary attempt was dis covered and reported to the po lice Sunday morning by Jack Newby, basketball coach. Balrd placed the time of the break In as "sometime after 11:30 Sat urday night." keep him at his violin lessons. Well, at least he has his music. After the program was over we saw back stage on hooks the num erous Identical blue denim shirts, and jeans which those tuxedoed f;entlemen would shortly be wear ng again. And as a little bit of Irony, I noticed protruding from the pocket of one faded blue gar ment one of these advertisements which we have all seen and laugh at but which didn't seem funny to me, for it promised some an onymous prisoner that he should "Give me ninety days to prove that I can make a new man of you." Ex-Rep. May, Garssons Lose on Their Appeal (Continued from Page One) the Garsson shell-making enter prises. The Garssons were convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States of May's services through bribery. The government contended that the Garssons set May up In the lumber business, as head of the Cumberland Lumber Company in Kentucky, using that as a "blind" to conceal bribery payments. The Jury of seven men and five women required only an hour and 50 minutes to reach its verdict after a trial which lasted 11 weeks. Maximum penalty on the charges would have been six years In prison and $30,000 fine lor each deienaant.

LUf (0 ON NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, Careful Driving Still Enjoined Snowstorms and sub freezing temperatures are continuing to demand careful, Intelligent driv ing from Oregon highway travel ers, Secretary of State Newbry is cautioning motorists. The secrelarv declared skidding on slippery pavements was re sponsible for more than half the traffic deaths reported to date for January, and has figured in a high percentage of minor mishaps in recent weeks. "However, It Is faultv reasoning to blame an accident on skidding alone when we know the slippery condition exists and hundreds of other drivers safely. negotiate the same roads and streets, the safe ly official pointed out. "Most skids are the result of faulty driving or lack of proper precautions." He advised drivers to remember three cardinal points for winter driving; accerla'.e easily to avoid spinning the wheels, drive slowly and well behind the car ahead, and brake gradually with a pump ing action to avoid sliding the tires. Use of tire chains is often necessary and will always sup ply an extra margin of safety.

Midwest Free ing rain and fog was general over this area. Freezing rain In Kansas combined with previous thaws to glaze highways. East Coast Rain traveled north from Baltimore to New England, with freezing expected to make roads hazardous. The southeast area was reported quite warm. Meat industry spokesmen said effects of the storms, price rises, would not be felt before next fall. Most animals destined for spring ' marketing ara now on eastern feedlots. Transportation was snarled. The Union Pacific Railroad held Its trains at Cheyenne and Green River, Wyo., for several hours because of blizzard conditions.

Hurry for your choice MONDAY, JANUARY 24, Truman Orders Plans For Columbia Basin (Continued from Page One) afraid their comments might jeopardize their positions In the coming legislative battle over whether a power dam should be built in the Deschutes River. Pros and Cons Expressed Legislative comment Included Sen. Richard L.. Neuberger, Portland Democrat, father of the CVA memorial this should make the people of Oregon awaken to the Importance of getting ready for the great development of our state. Sen. Howard C. Belton, Canby Republican I can't see It. The people of the Northwest are per fectly capable of solving their own problems. Sen. Ben Musa, The Dalles Democrat Federal control Is the only answer where more than one state is Involved. Sen. Paul Patterson, HUlsboro Republican We should examine other alternatives, too. Before I would say CVA is the only an swer, I would have to examine whether a Columbia Valley inter state compact might not be as good or better. Sen. Angus Gibson, Junction City Republican I've always been opposed to it. Rep. Sprague Carter, Pendleton Republican We don't want a CVA. The valley's affairs should be In the hands of Its citizens. There is too much bureaucracy now. The rise of Mussolini and Hitler coincides with the opera tion of the Democratic party In the United States. Rep. Gust Anderson, Portland Republican and a labor official Tthe President's statement Is very encouraging. Rep. Phil Brady, Portland Dem ocrat I agree with the man of the hour. It will bring one big lot of improvement. Rep. John I. Sell, The Dalles Republican Before I comment I would have to be sure CVA Is the proper solution. House Speaker Frank J. Van Dyke, Medford Republican We are capable of handling our own problems. It would bring too much federal control. Rep. Giles L. French, Moro Re- Eublican The western states had etter get their loins well girded to protect themselves. Aren't the people in the Columbia Valley to have more to say about it than the people of the rest of the U. S., who are only Indirectly affected?

WHERE ALL DOUGLAS COUNTY SHOPS AND SAVES ( 1949 Columbia Valley authority was hailed by farm and labor leaders here today, but many business and reclamation groups were ex pected to bring out the guns against it. "We're very pleased with the president's action," said J. D. Mc Donald, president of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, which has long worked toward a valley authority in this area. 'The president's request is gratifying to the membership of the CIO, who have long sup ported this measure," commented Stanley Earl, executive secretary of the state CIO. "We vision an enlarged and more prosperous northwest, with an added increase in population and industry, when this project is completed. It is in the interests of everyone, labor and management, to lend full sup port to this worthy enterprise." The Oregon State Grange, which only two days ago urged that the 81st Congress pass legis lation for a CVA, echoed the praise. "We're mightily pleased," said State Grangemaster Morton Tompkins, "to hear that Mr. Tru man plans td make that a part of his program this year." Business Hat Pleased But many business leaders were expected to launch a full-scale battle against the proposal. Al Bauer, president of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, withheld comment pending study of the president's directive, but other sources pointed out that the Chamber vigorously opposed simi lar legislation In the 79th Con gress. Hillman Lueddemann, chair man of the board of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and Port land's "first citizen of 1948," said he felt control of the basin's de velopment should remain in local hands. "This Northwest country is Just 100 years old, and has made the most remarkable economic prog ress of any section In the United States through the private initia tive, energy, and enthusiasm of our citizenry. I can't see any reason for destroying that and setting up a federal authority in its stead.

Baldock, and Public Utilities Commissioner George H. riagg. The 1947 legislature, after a six-year engineering study to make trucks pay their fair share of highway construction nad main tenace costs, adopted a new sys tem of taxing trucks on a ton nage and mileage basis. Truck operators got their gasoline taxes refunded. The trouble with that idea, Is that the revenue dropped be tween $600,000 and $1,500,000 a ..aat. InotcaH nf i nrPfl gf tl CT B1 had been' expected.

Newbry wants a system wner by trucks would pay fixed an nual fees according to weight, plus a gas tax ranging as high as 15 cents a gallon. Baldock thinks that isn't fair. He likes the present tonnage mileage svstem, but without the gas tax refund. Flagg agrees with Baldock. Rep. John Hounsell, Hood River, introduced a bill today calling for simpler withholding returns by Oregon employers. The bill would do away with withholding returns for employes who earned less than $100 a year. A new bill to let state employes keep their $20 monthly cost of living wage increase until July 1 was Introduced in the House to day. The increase expired Dec. 31. sistance from the federal govern ment in developing the basin, but it is quite another thing to be told by the federal government how we should develop it." i KIRBY CO.- Home Renovation Service Sales and Service I Phone 1068-Y !
