Frldiy, Aug. 1, 1952 fce Newt-Review, Rotvbtfj, Ore. S Medical Arts, News-Review Get New Roofs Th Medical Art and Newt-Review buildings ire setting new roofi. L. K. Cornwall, local con tractor, is replacing roofing on the two buildings with a liquid asbestos roof coating, patented under the name "Battleship." Mark Rousell, water proofing engineer for the manufacturer, de scribes it as an elastic material which contractu or expands with weather conditions. The Medical Arts building Is getting a complete new roof. The old one has been torn off and is being replaced with a conven tional three-ply a prime coat, as bestos seal, and, after curing, a finish reflector aluminum coat, to reflect the heat away, rather than absorb it. Rousell said checks have shown that in 102 degree temperature some types of roofs absorb heat up to 275 degrees. The Battleship process reduces the temperature during hot weather inside build ings, lie said. The Newt-Review building Is having the new roof laid over the old one. Recently roofed with this process it the new building on Main Street, just south of the City Hall, erected by Harry Par geter. Miller's Store building alto hat been reroofed. Two Fugitives Sought By Prison WALLA WALLA I A tecond inmate escaped from the Washing ton State penitentiary Wednesday as authorities searched for a man who fled Tuesday. John Liba, about 32, escaped from a prison farm outside the walls. Warden John Cranor re ported. Cranor said guards saw him running down a nearby rail road track. Liba, serving a term for second degree burglary from Pierce Coun ty, previously had been committed to Eastern Washington Hospital at Medical Lake for observation. Meantime the search continued for Gene Kensler, editor of the prison publication, The Outlook. Kensler, a trusty, fled Tuesday while on an assignment to write a story about the prison game farm. , A letter to Cranor, found in Kensler's cell Wednesday, ex plained why he escaped with only six months of his sentence left. In the letter, the fugitive said he feared he would be returned to the Oregon State prison when his term at Walla Walla was com pleted. "When you have done 11 years in one sitting in Oregon," the letter said, "the thought of having to return gnaws on a person's mind to the extent it almost de praves it." Kensler, now 29.' served a term nn a grand Jarceny- conviction in Portland. .Oregon authorities have listed him as a . parole violator. In addition, Seattle police have issued a "hold" order for grand larceny against Kensler.
