Arsenal Tower Civen
State Board's .Approval
SALEM W) Construction of an
arsenal tower outside the state
penitentiary walls was approved
by the State Board of Control
Tuesday to relievo what Warden
Clarence T. Gladden calls an "ex
plosive situation."
The present arsenal, which con
tains the guns and ammunition
needed to quell prison disturbanc
es, is located in the hall of the
administration building.
Gladden said he fears that trus,
ties or visitors could seize control
of it, and thus control the whole
prison and prison officials.
The new arsenal tower will cost
$20,000, and will command a view
of the whole prison area.

Firebird Will Compete With New Dream Cars
By DAVID J. WILKIE
AP Automotive Editor
NEW YORK W) As an average
motorist you may be smitten with
today's "dream" cars, but you
might not like all the features of
General Motors' gas turbine auto.
The car looks like a jet fighter
cn four wheels. It has a needle
nose and swept back wings. It
seats only the driver. Once he's
seated a plastic bubble batch
closes over him.
Besides all this, the car, called
the XP-21 Firebird, is propelled at
an undisclosed sneed by its 370
horsepower gasofine turbine en
gine. One of the most drastic projects
yet produced by GM's research di
vision, the Firebird will be a major
feature of the Motorama of 1954
that opens Thursday at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel. The showing
will continue through next Tues
day. Competing for spectator interest
with the Firebird will be U new
"dream'' cars. They have such
names as "El Camino," "Wildcat
H," "Cutlass," "Strato Streak"
and "Bonneville Special."
You get into the latter by open
ing the hinged, canopy top, wbioh
is a DUDo'e ot satety glass.
Feasibility of a eas turbine now.
er plant for a conventional type
passenger car has been debated in
engineering circles for years. The
Firebird, of course, is far from
"conventional" in any respect.
But it is a vehicle that could be
modified into a conventional car
if all other problems were solved.
The power plant still operates at
terrific speed; it consumes a large
quantity of fuel. Some of the speed
reduction problems involved can
be appreciated when it is noted
the Firebird's engine develops 370
horsepower when the power turbine
revolves 13,000 revolutions a min
ute. Chrysler's 235 horsepower car

Suit Against
Forest Service
Is Dismissed
2isatti.e w A one and a
half million dollar damage suit
brought by Rayonier, Inc., against
the government as an outgrowth
of toe f orks orcst fire in Sept
1951, was dismissed by Federal
Judge George H. Boldt Monday,
Rayonier contended the U. S.
Forest Service was negligent in
fighting the fire, which destroyed
Hundreds ot acres of Umber owned
by Rayonier.
Asst. U.S. Atty. Frank Cushman
told the court: ,
"'f the government can be found
liable in this situation for ordinary
mistakes of judgment in fighting
a fire, few situations of a similar
nature will be found where some
act of aa official will not be ques
tioned. "The result will be either a fail
ure by officials generally to take
prompt decisive action or the
placing of the government in a
position: where it must insure all
private property damaged in a
public disaster.
Maroh 1 was set by Judge Boldt
as the date to sign Cushman's
motion to dismiss the suit or to
hear any new arguments ad
vanced by Rayonier attorneys.
