10 The News-Review, Roieburg, Or. Thun. Aug. 15, 1957 Deputy Warden, Two Guard Captains Quit At Montana DEER LODGE, Mont., Wl The deputy warden and two guard captains have resinned at ' t h e Montana Penitentiary, where mu tinous prisoners rioted and held control for 24 hours only two weeks ago. One of the guards, Everett Rip ley, was one of five hostages held Probe Requested Over Motion Picture Barring HOLLYWOOD I Motion pic ture producer Lindsley Parsons urged Chairman McClellan (D Ark) of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee Monday to investigate the circumstances under which theaters in the Pacific Northwest cancelled showings of a Parsons film. The movie, "Portland Expose." which Parsons said was based on the findings of McClcllan's com mittee, was scheduled, to be shown in 20 theaters in Washington and Oregon, Parsons said in a letter to McClellan. Parsons said the theaters can celled the showings because of what he said was influence exert ed by "powerful, interested indi viduals." "We feel wo have sufficient rea son to suspect that concerted pressure was placed on these the aters," Parsons said, "but that only a congressional inquiry can determine the facts." by the convicts during the uprising. Neither Ripley nor the other two prison officials, Deputy Ward en Vern Lockwood and Capt. Har ry Berg, would comment on their surprise resignations Tuesday night. All referred the matter to the Board of Prison Commission ers, ruling body of the institution. Attv. Gen. Forrest H. Anderson, the only board member available, said the agency naa received no official communication on the mat ter. The resignations apparently took Warden F. 0. Burrell and other state officials by surprise. Burrell was absent at the time of the July 30 riot, in which the rebellious convicts demanded a long list of privileges and reforms now under study by the commis sioners. The warden, after studying re ports of the incident, praised his deputy and Ripley for the action in quieting the convicts and re storing control to the institution. Berg, a guard here about five years, was not directly involved in the riot. Ripley, while a hostage, sat quietly with a group of the con victs during the height of the re volt and reasoned with them. "I think Capt. Ripley and the others quieted the prisoners down by talking to them," Warden Bur rell said later. Lockwood, a veteran of more than 15 years service at the pris on, had been deputy warden for It'j years. He was in charge of the 88-year-old institution during the riot. Ripley had 26 years' service. Prince Charles Will Attend Boarding School LONDON Wl Buckingham Palace .' announced Wednesday Prince Charles, 8-year-old heir to the British throne, will leave home next month to board at his father's old school. A Court communique said Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, have decided to send their son to Cheam School in Berkshire, SO miles from Lon don. It is one of Britain's oldest preparatory schools. The royal decision was inter preted as another move by Philip to give his son a broader educa tion and wider experience of life outside the tight circle of courtiers around the throne. The Queen's husband obviously is taking a firm personal hand in guiding Charles' future. His in fluence was seen last January when the young Prince set a royal precedent by enrolling at a private school a. few blocks from Buckingham Palace. The young Prince will pack his bags in mid-September and go to Cheam as an ordinary pupil, join ing ,90 other boys from famous and well-to-do families. It is the first time an heir to the throne has been enrolled at a boarding school at such an early age. McKERNAN NAMED PORTLAND im Donald L.

Portland Hotel Trade Said Down PORTLAND Wl Mayor Terry Schrunk was told by four Port land hotel operators Tuesday that the city has not kept pace with other Pacific Coast cities in volume of hotel trade. The hotelmen agreed that most other coast cities are gaining or holding their own in tourist and hotel trade. But, hotel manager Flavel Tem ple said, hotel trade in Portland dropped off at an "alarming" rate from July 1956, to the same month this year. He said Portland hotels recorded a decrease of from 12 to 20 per cent. The city had 133 fewer conven tions this summer, said Ralph Holsapple. He said the revenue loss came to about one million dollars. Another operator, Asa Arnsberg, told Schrunk, "Highway by-passes are marvelous for the militaiy and the truckers but they're kill ing off business in the cities and towns." U. S. Regulations Said Blocking Japanese Trade SAN FRANCISCO, Wl - U.S. shipping regulations are blocking 115 million dollars worth of trade between the United States and Japan, a representative of Mitsui Line, Japan's largest steamship firm, said Tuesday. Toshisige Mizuno, 49, said that Japan is negotiating with the Ex-port-Import Bank for short-term loans to buy U.S. wheat, barlev, soybeans and cotton, which under American law must be carried on American ships. "My country's shortage of dol lars makes it impossible to da this," Mizuno said. "If possible, we would like to carry all the grain on Japanese boats." If negotiations break down over the problem, Mizuno added, Japan would secure most of its grain from Canada, which doesn't re quire hat its products move on Canadian-flag vessels. Mizuno said Mitsui, which re turned to the seas in 1953 after the end of U.S. occupation of Japan, has a fleet of merchant freighters and tankers as large as its peak before World War II, operating a total of 115, owned or chartered. The picture Mizuno painted of the general Japanese economy was not so bright. "The Japanese economy is standing on one leg," he assert ed. "It will be in a precarious position until it is able to plant its other leg in China." Japan Planning To Enter U. S.
