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.

hostess. Plans were discussed on
having a ham dinner April 1. Tick
ets for it will be sold. Cards will
follow the dinner.
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.
Raymond Rice, son of James
Rice of Curtin, passed his radio
test and is now stationed in New
London, Conn, in a submarine
school.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Becker and
family took advantage of the spring
vacation and made a trip to Ariz
ona to visit relatives.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Drake and
Children went to Idaho to visit
relatives. They stopped over at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. LesI
Crane and family near Redmond.
They reported the Crane family as
all getting along fine. The Cranes
are former residents of this' com

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. .

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.

PORTLAND I Georee Mini-

tice, protested Wednesday before
Circuit Judge James W. Crawford
the treatment he (ot before the
grand jury.
And Asst. Atty. Cen. Arthur
Kaplan told the judge he brought
Minielly from tha grand Jury room
to the court because of an out

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

i Dept. has presented to the county
court a report on ouiiding activity
in the county for 1956.
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

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

Second largest contributor is area
