Women's Prison To Cost Far More Than Supporters Thought, Says Secretary SALEM Supporter! of a I pun to build women's prison were told Tuesday night it would eon much more thin the one mil lion dollan they propoie. Col. Willie m Ryen, eecreUry of the Boerd of Control, md the mil lion dollars would "provide "art and thafi all." The House Public Welfare Com mittee held a hearing on the bill to construct a women'i prison that would house 100 inmates. They would include both felons and county prisoners who had sen tences of 90 days to a year. The bill was introduced by Rep. Crace 0. Peck (D), Portland, chairman of the committee. The supporters included repre sentatives of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs, State CIO-AFL Labor Council, Oregon Prison Assn., and the Women's Prison Council. There was general agreement that the 30-womea now housed in the penitentiary are in cramped quarters, and have no privacy, recreation or educational opportunities.

Spending several days this past weekend at the James Rice home in Curtin were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Graham of Sunnywide. Wash. Also visiting for the weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Gayle Bush and son, Jim, of North Bend.

The two girls i Mi.a Vancw Ciita want with Bk " i Bruce Boss snd Charles Copeland i to see the State tournament at Si-1 lem and to watch Drain play. The The Board of Control, which runs the institutions, recommends that the women's unit be built out side the prison walls at a cost of $650,000. It would be on prison property, aod be part of the penitentiary, yet the women would be separated from the men. The supporters oppose this idea, wanting it far removed from the penitentiary. Warden C. T. Gladden of the penitentiary, saying the present Quarters for women are deplor able, testified that it makes no difference to him which plan is approved. However, he ssid the board's plan would be much more economical to build and operate. The board plan contemplates housing 60 women, all of whom woum uc serving priauu iciius, rather than jail terms. Mrs. Claire Argow, secretary of the prison association, said the Peck bill would be a great help to counties that don't have facili ties to care for women in their jails. If the committee approves the bill, it then will be sent to the Wsys and Means Committee for further consideration. . First Full Picture G?

SO SAN FRANCISCO Uh A city Running expert predict that ighwiT consti-uctlon over the next 20 yeara win change the cnaracter and structure of metropolitan ar eas more than all the work of metropolitan planners aince 1945. jonn i. Howard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology associate professor; offered with his proph ecy on the impact of the expand ed federal highway construction protram this lament: "We are ill prepared, bow that the new highwaya are upon ua, to say where they should be built in the best interests of the metro politan areas." Howard, addressing the Ameri can society ot tManninsr tmiciais, argued that the purpose of high ways waa not "the carrying of traffic but to serve -the commu nity." He said a highway so designed and built that it produces land development patterns "worsening the liv ability and efficiency of a metropolitan area is a disservice to the community." He declared the U.S. Highway Act. of 1956 proposing the building 01 on lions oi doners worm ox mod ern highwaya "does not recognize these all-important aspects of high way desien." "in the absence of metropolitan punning and development policies, eacn decision on nignway loca tion will be based on hiehway en gineering, tratnc engineering and costs, Howard contended. He noted that the federal act- silent on planning gives route locating authority to state high way departments. He expressed hope "that the state and federal engineers, even though they are in a hurry and even though the law doea not re quire, will pause and listen to what metropolitan planners have to say. . "And, where it Is not too late, that they will modify their plans if they recognize the soundness and wisdom of what they hear," Howard said comprehensive planning holds that developing good rapid transit service could so lighten highway loads "that the total bill for transit and highways would bo less than the bill fe fraction of the saving were spent directly to build rapid transit," Howard said. "This, of course, is so sensible aa to bo revolutionary. :::: Department Figures Reveal Construction Of 6 Million By LLOYD ROGERS Staff Writar, N,w-R.vi,w ins S982.2S or a total of $185,692. .Permits for 144 business build- As one of its final actions, the . 12.398.244.

Mimeuy is under a five-day sus pension because Sheriff Francis Lambert said his comment to the press and on TV tot into the pol icy field which the sheriff reserves for himself. Minielly's statements were in support of his former boss. Mayor Terry Schrunk, who has been accused of taking a bribe. Wednesday was Minielly's sec ond straight day before tha grand jury which is probing charges of vice and corruption in Portland. Minielly told the court that In his 27 years as a sheriff's deputy he had appeared before many grand juries hut never before had been subjected to the treatment he said Kaplan gave him. He said Ksplsn appeared not to he seeking farts but keot asking the same questions over and over and kept at him until "I went to pieces. judge irawiora sent ine men back.

The report was prepared by C. H. Boniols, building inspector, and his staff. This department has been ended by the court and will be re placed by a one-man building "de partment" which will issue build ing permits or registrations and act as "mouthpiece" for the pres ently inoperative County Planning Commission. Under the new policy, builders are to buy registrations for pro posed construction but there will be no inspections. The person yet to be named who issues regis trations will advise builders if they request it. The building department and planning commission were number one targets of a group calling it self "The Douglas County Citizens Committee." Following this com mittee's complaints to the county court, the court ordered the build ing department to wind up its af fairs along with the planning com mission's technicians whose serv ices would no longer be needed. All but one member of the com mission resigned. Boniols' report shows 1.023 build ing permits were issued in the 12-month period with a construc tion cost of S6.215.457.50. He notes that the figures include incoroor- ated and unincorporated areas of the county. In 1956, 310 new houses were built at an average cost of so.Z54.su, or S2.558.953.50. Remodel ling jobs averaged SI. 131 85 ot S412.042. CarporU and garages to- taiea lira built or remodelled- with the valua tion set at $482,144. Eleven church es with a valuation ot $180,352 were built. In Issuing the report Boniols said, "For the first time in the history of Douglas County it is pos sible to summarize with some ac curacy the amount of buildings and costs for one complete year, aa 1956 is the first calendar year that the county has had building inspections." He noted that the figures in his report represent about 80 per cent nt tha mnnav tn.nl nn (.nnstntftinn 1 Ills is uue lu uia luw u.sia uaru . t for building rjermit Durooses at S7 . per square foot and some buildings which were built without building permits." Along witn me report, tne ouiid ing department prepared a map which indicates the building trend for the past year by areas. The map shows the Roseburg ar eas (1,2.3 and the city) contributed the bulk of the year's construction money to the total. The total valua tion for the areas is $3,493,408. This jncludes 150 new houses. 88 busi ncsses. 2 churches and 2 schools. Second largest contributor is area 4 and Sutherhn. The total valua tion is $516,986. including 33 new houses, 1 school and 4 churches. Variety Of Meats: To Be Featured This Weekend y THI ASSOCIATED PRESS A variety of meats will be fea tured with large type and small rices in the nation a supermar ;eta and neighborhood grocery stores this week, but the prices won t be aa ' small ' aa in recent weeks. Lamb la reported 2 to f cents a pound higher in many places, an increase matched by sirloin and rib roast although not quite so widely. in any event, iamb (leg ana shoulder) and pork (chops and roast) are getting more of a play in the stores this week than they've been receiving recently. Veal, too, will be a special item In more stores than usual. Since this is the season choice, grain-fed cattle are coming to market, beef again will be the No. 1 attraction In a good many stores. Chuck roast and ground beet, however, will be as numer ous as the more expensive steaks and rib roasts. Eggs, which have been bargains for some time, are 2 to 4 cents a dozen higher In many areaa this week. - Spring also should provide bar gains in some vegetables which have had warm weather and plenty of rain. Spring lettuce pro duction, for example, Is expected to run I per cent ahead of last spring's crop. Asparagus, broc coli and cauliflower also are ex pected to be , more plentiful than usual, and therefore cheaper. Tomatoes, onions and cabbage, on the other hand, are expected to have smaller crops, and high er prices, than a year ago this spring. This week, however, the out standing buys are reported to be i storage potatoes from late fall true and I thiak, crops, onions, root crops such as It la some of the billioni pro- carrots from nearby fields and posed for highways within metro- the "greens" kale, collard, politan areas could be saved, it a broccoli and turnip greens. highways without transit If this is MARIE OiTS ROLE HOLLYWOOD itv-Actress Ma rie McDonald, whose last starring part was thst of a victim in a bizarre kidnaping case, will play the role of a dancing girl in the movie "Badger of Evil." directed with the average cost- by Orson Welles.
