' Charges Leveled On 3 Prisoners VANCOUVER, B.C. Wl-Charges of "forcible confinement" were laid Tuesday against three in mates who held a guard prisoner for six hours in Oakalla Prison last week. Robert Tremblay, Marcel Fre nette and Charles Talbot, sen tenced recently to 20 years in pris on for attempted murder, were scheduled to appear in Police Court Wednesday. The prosecution arises out of the seizure of Oakalla guard Ernest Loveless by three inmates in the prison barber shop Hay 7. A razor was held at his throat and a pair of barber's shears to the back of his neck by the in mates. The threat to the guard's life during a six-hour ordeal in the barber shop came within a few hours of the time Tremblay, Fre nette and Talbot lost their appeal against .the 20-year sentence for the attempted murder of Thomas Kinna last fall. They released Loveless un harmed after a Vancouver news paperman promised to air their complaints of their trial in an extra edition. TO THE VOTERS OF DOUGLAS COUNTY Reference to the office of 'County Surveyor: A survey of property which may have been improperly or carelessly done or one that has not been done in accordance with the laws of Oregon and the "Instructions for the Survey of the Public- Lands" it a waste of , .money. For this reason there is no such thing as a cheap survey. It is either correctly made or it is not. As a Deputy County Surveyor in Douglas County ' for 9 years and County Surveyor for 11 years, I have had to compare and evaluate and examine many surveys by various engineers and land surveyors. Much of this has been done for the ottorneys and title companies practicing in Douglas County. The methods to be used by the County Surveyor in making surveys ' is prescribed for him by law, while the private practicing surveyors or engineer is not so governed. Even some of the County Surveyors in Oregon appear to be incompetent, the present County Surveyor of Multnomah not beiny a registered engineer, or land surveyor. - When I determined to resign as County Surveyor, I recommended to County Court the man whom I considered the most competent in Douglas County to fill this office, namely the present incumbent, FRED M. DARBY. . , Mr. Darby has had many years experience in land surveys, retracing government surveys, Right of Way surveys, etc. before coming to work for X the County Surveyor's office as a draftsman. I found him to be thoroughly ! competent and of unquestioned honesty and integrity. At my request he took and passed the examination for registration at e land surveyor in Oregon. At that time I appointed him my chief deputy. Signed BEN B. IRVING i ? Pi. Pol. Ad , Dorby for County Surveyor Comm., R. C.

'"After investigation of the inci dent those involved were assured by the Atomic Energy Commis sion (AEC) that the radiation doses received were not serious," AEC said in a statement. Ft. Bclvoir is about 15 miles south of Washington. The Army is working there on a small-sized atomic power reactor. The radia tion was not from fissionable ma terial, but from an industrial irid ium source. The AEC said the Iridium, be ing used in X-raying welds to make sure they were perfect, "was removed from its shielded container and contrary to stand ard practice left unshielded for about three hours."
