N Freedom Over For Versatile Habitual Criminal At Age 38 SALEM '! Gordon Sayre Little, a 38-year-old felon who's been in the crime business for 20 years, is a versatile man. Most criminals have a specialty, but Little doesn't. He's been con victed of assault, forgery, robbery, burglary, car theft, and imperson ation of an officer. Another thing that makes him different is that he's never used an alias. Little is proud of his name. The Oregon Supreme Court ruled this month that Little must serve life in the state penitentiary be cause he's an habitual criminal. However, the state can't make Little serve his sentence right away. That's because he's in the Utah State Prison serving two to 20 years. Idaho wants him. too, on charges that he's a persistent criminal. Little, with a record that fills a fat file in the State Police bureau Husband, Wife File Suit For Accident' Damages Wayne and Bertha Lai sen have filed suits in circuit court for ac cident damages, alleging they re ceived permanent iniuries in a traffic crash eight miles north of Sutherlin on July 10. Named defendant in the actions is Alexander Maitland Comb, who they claim drove his car into a highway divider, struck the Lar sen car and forced it off the high way. Mrs. Larsen seeks $50,000 gen eral and $1,855.50 special damag es. Her husband seeks $5,000 gen eral and $221.50 special damages. of identification, tried hard to con vince the Supreme Court that he really isn't an habitual criminal. But, even while his appeal was pending, he went right back into trouble. From the time he started out in Seattle with a 60-day sentence for assault at the age of 18. Little never has been out of prison for more than a few months at a time. In 1943, he pleaded guilty in Salem to a forgery charge, and was sent up for life as an habitual criminal. Last year, he asked for his re lease, claiming he wasn't guilty of that forgery count. He said he had pleaded guilty on a promise from the district attorney that Little wouldn't get a life sentence. When, he asked for his release on a writ of habeas corpus a vear ago, Little was freed on $5,000 bail. He jumped bail. Then things happened fast. Last .Ian. 10, he was arrested in Idaho for selling liquor without a license. Three weeks later, police in Twin Falls, Idaho, arrested him on a bus. In his suitcase were nitro glycerine, dynamite, 50 feet of fuse, and burglar tools. ' In another week, he was arrested for burglary at Logan, Utah. He sawed his way out of the county jail, but had only two days of free dom. He entered the Utah stale pen June 20 to serve 2 to 20 years. If the Idaho officials prosecute Little, it might be a long time be fore he comes back to Oregon to finish his life sentence. Little, the man who denies he's an habitual criminal, won't see frcefom for a long time, unless he escapes. Two Southern ' Governors Claim Demo Win In '56 POINT CLEAR. Ala. ifi -Alabama s Gov. James E. Folsom de vclared this week: "You can count President F.isenhower in the race and he still can't get re-elected." The towering governor, who is host to the 21st annual Southern Governors' Conference, told re porters the Republicans' farm pol icies have killed off the chance of any GOP candidate being elected president next year. And he predicted, "There's no question about it the South will go Democratic." Folsom's estimate that the South ern ranks will not be broken by the Republicans in 1956 as they were in 1952, when Texas. Ten- I nessee, Virginia and Florida voted for Eisenhower, was supported by Kentucky's Gov. Laurence Weth erby, who picked Adlai Stevenson to win the presidency if Eisenhow er doesn't run again. Folsom said the GOP farm pol icy has raised the farmers' cost and interest rates while permit ting farm prices to decline. The Alabama governor said he still wants former President Harry S. Truman to run again, but that Truman had advised him he couldn't make the race in any case because of his health and age. "I told him," Folsom said, "that it's better to wear out than to rust out."

No. 19, Final in the scics of Hare Creatures t I n-rh f ft J fri I THE IN&.FFERENT SHRUG couldn't care less The shrug is a retailer who shows little concern if manufacturers advertise in newspapers or not. Oh, sure, he believes in newspaper advertising for retailers like himself but he doesn't realize that he should urge manufacturers to advertise there, too. Fortunately, the shrlg is a rare creature. Most retailers put most of their advertising in their local newspapers and ask for and welcome manu facturers' ads in the same medium. Happily, manufacturers are using newspapers more and more. What clearer evidence than in the record amount of linage they placed in newspapers the first six months of 1955? Both retailers and manufacturers used more newspaper advertising in the first six months of 1955 than in any similar period in history. Nowhere else can a manufacturer and a retailer ad vertise together so effectively as in the newspaper.

That's tiie conclusion of the Na tional Retail Dry goods Assn. fol lowing a poll of member retailers. The NRDGA survey showed that net profits of department stores for the first six months of 1955 were 50 per cent higher than in the like period last year. This was achieved, said the NRDGA, on increased sales of merchandise at lower prices. A more effective selling job, and a tighter rein on operating costs, contributed substantially to the im proved results. At the same time, NRDGA said, department stores hiked their newspaper advertising budgets. A Roseburg 4-H club member, I-on Lark.
