"Hex" Victim No. 6 Claimed
Bird claimed his sixth "hex"
victim last night.
In an interview with Pierce
County Prosecutor Patrick Steele,
the condemned slaver said he had
put his famous "hex" on a for
mer Washington State Peniten
tiary guard, Arthur A. Stowdard.
Stowdard retired shortly after
the time Bird claims to have
applied the hex and returned
to his home in Worchester, Mass.
He died in Cushing Veterans Hos
pital, Framingham, Mass., April
27.
Bird said he told Stowdard:
"you'll die before I will."
He added:
"Oh, I put the hex' on him
all right, but it was just in
tun."
"Lucky Carde Holding Out"
Warden Smith of Walla Walla
penitentiary received the Judi
cial reprieve call five minutes
before Bird was to have been
removed to the death cell to
await his date with the gallows.
The warden said he told the
condemned man:
"You ought to get down on
your knees and start praying."
Smith said Bird apparently
thought he was bringing bad
news or was going to read the
death warrant to him, and re
plied: "That's Just what I've been
doing."
When informed of the 30-day
reprieve, Bird was silent for a
few moments, then said:
"f guess my lucky cards are
holding out."
Three Others Await Noose
Four condemned men are be
ing held in the state prison an
all-time record for "death row."
The Circuit Court of Appeals
reprieve for Bird means the rec
ord roll call will remain un
changed for the present.
the other three are Aaron
Johnson and Archie Brown of
Pasco, sentenced to hang to
gether June 30 for a 1945 kill
ing in Pasco, and Arthur Bruce
Perkins, to die July 15 for the
slaying ol an (Jlympia couple
last year.
Ihe Johnson-Brown execution
will be the first double hanging
within the memory of prison em
ployes. As with Bird, their case
has been bouncing around the
court for years. They have been
sentenced to death three times
and their case has gone to the
U. S. Supreme Court.

House Thursday he is opposed

ley Administration.

evils in the proposed selup that
far outweigh any potential bene
fits.'! lie said the Army Engineers,
the Reclamation Bureau and oth
er agencies which have been
handling Ihe development of the
Columbia Basin are doing a good
Job. The people of the Northwest

he added.

Restoring Of Cut
In Public Lands
Funds Is Urged .
WASHINGTON, May 27. (IP)
A congressional committee was
asked Thursday to restore $317,
000 to the Interior Department
appropriation bill for development
of public land in Oregon.
Daniel L. Goldy, Northwest re
gional administrator of the Bu
reau of Land Management, asked
a Senate Appropriations Subcom
mittee to approve $817,000 for his
agency's use in handling revested
railroad lands and the Coos Bay
Wagon Road grant lands. The
House cut the amount to $500,000.
Goldy testified his agency could
sell enough timber to pay for con
struction of access roads if Con
gress provides funds to start the
roads. He said 400 miles of access
roads are needed in the 2,500,000
acres of forest lands. Such roads,
he said, would tap 7,500,000,000
feet of ripe timber. Altogether, he
estimated, the area contains 34,
000,000,000 feet of merchantable
timber.
Lake Angler Dies In
Boat Upset; Wife Rescued
BEND, May 27. (IF) The body
of a Slayton man who drifted
from sight in the choppy waters
of Suttle Lake was sought today
by state police and neighbors.
His wife was rescued after cling
ing to their overturned boat for
four-and-a-half hours.
Joseph E. Harris, 45, and Mrs.
Harris were fishing on the lake
yesterday afternoon. Their small
boat overturned in the rough wat
er which was kicked up into waves
two feet high by a tsrong wind.
Both were wearing life pre
servers. Mrs. Harris said her husband,
held upright by Ihe life preserver,
drifted toward the middle of the
lake and was lost to her sight.
She said her husband suffered
from a heart ailment and might
have died from shock.
Wash., then to Portland and later
to Roseburg. "It was always my
dream to own a horse, and final
ly I got one five years ago," she
said. "With the help of my
mother I learned to ride. My sis
ter also rides."
She attributed her winning the
title as queen to the performance
of her mount, a Missouri gaited
horse. "All I did," she said, "was
sit in the saddle."
Posse's Activity Told
Carter, who is also a member
of the Racing Commission,
stated the Posse was organized as
a civilian defense measure when
there was believed to be threats
of a Japanese invasion of the
West Coast. When this scare sub
sided, attention was turned by
the Posse to establishment of a
fairground. Posse members con
tributed $10 each to get a meas
ure on the ballot to raise a one-
mill levy to buy Umpqua Park.
Then a building program was
started, and though short of
money, the Fair Board and Posse
were able to go ahead with the
aid of civic minded individuals.
Now under construction, said
Carter, is the 'first 100 by 100
unit of a proposed 200 by 140-foot
building for fair exhibits. The
building will be completed in
about two weeks, he estimated.
Next week construction will prob
ably start on a 30 by 100-foot
livestock barr. ,to include 50 or
60 stalls for horses.
Since pari-mutual betting is
legal in Oregon, quarter horse
racing meets are planned this
summer.
These meets. Carter said, are
very exciting and hard to judge.
in order tnat tne horses be even
ly matched, they are placed in
four classes, according to their
ability to run. He told of a meet
at Pendleton, where he was a
judge, and in a six-horse race
there was not 31 feet of differ
ence between the winner and los
er. He declared he would never
judge another race without a
photo-finish camera. They are
too close.
Night Racing Planned
Plans are to erect lights for
night racing at a cost estimated
from $3,500 to $5,000, he stated.
This will enable people to attend
in the evening, since this is a
"working man's town."
For the Rodeo, the first day
will feature a girls' lamb scram-1
ble. Ihe second day will have a
wild horse race, and on Sunday
there will be a boys' calf scram
ble, in addition to horse racing
events.
It has been decided, Carter
said, to keep the money at home
this year, and dispense with any
outside talent, except for a world
champion trick rider. A "horse
parade" is slated In town on Fri
day, and the big Rodeo parade
will be at 10:30 Saturday, June 18.
ine fosse programs are some
thing which cannot slip back,
now that they are started," he
declared. "But they require a lot
Of time and hard work, and co
operation on the part of everyone
in town."
(Continued from Page One)
"you'll died before I will."
Lucas interview which occur
red after congressional leaders
conferred at the White House
do not agree with Lucas' own
version.
T-H Act Repeal Up Next-
Lucas amplified this later.
Some new accounts of what he
said were complete and some
were not, he said. What he told
reporters, he added, was that
Congress wants to adjourn July
31, but that if the work was not
finished it would have to stay
in session.
In his new interview Lucas
said the bill calling for repeal
of the Taft-Hartley labor act may
be the next big measure consid
ered by the Senate.
Other measures on the Truman
program include such items as
a proposed $4,000,000,000 tax
boost, compulsory health insur
ance, civil rights, social security
expansion, and farm legislation.
Mr. Truman said specifically
that he still wants the tax in
crease as a means of keeping the
government's income even with
its spending. But he also said the
treasury is considering a plan
by Rep. Mills (D-Ark) to do
the same thing by speeding up
corporation tax payments.
