State Prison Warden
Nixes Death Penalty
SALEM (AP) The death pen-'
alty is unfair because il hits the
poor and not the rich, Warden
Clarence Gladden of the state pen
itentiary said Thursday night.
"1 think the person without
money, friends and influence of
ten has to pay the supreme pen
alty while the person with money,
friends and influence does not,"
Gladden said.
Gladden told a House Judiciary
Committee that he would vote to
abolish the death penalty.
Gladden said between 1930 and
1939 there were 167 cases of homi
cide in Oregon while there werei
only 72 between 1950 and 1959 I
a 56 per cent drop.
The warden said he felt the cer
tainty of punishment would be
more of a detriment, than capital
punishment.
A minimum 15-year term for
first degree murder would be a I
proper detriment, the warden j
said. He said he did not feel thai j
any more than 15 years would
help and might hinder rehabilita
tion as a minimum sentence.
Life term prisoners, the warden
said, are often model prisoners
and the hope of parole helps to
keep them that way.
Sen. Monroe Sweetland. D-Mil-waukie,
said he believed that cap
ital punishment stands in the way
of better justice because grand
juries, district attorneys, judges
and juries are reluctant to im
pose the death penalty.
The hearing was on a proposed
resolution that would give the
electorate a chance lo vole the
requirements for capital punish
ment out of the Oregon Constitu
tion. Also before the legislature is a
bill that could become law only
with a constitutional change per
mitting the death penalty for
treason and for persons convicted
of murder while serving a life
term in prison.
Former Rep. Fred Meek, a
Portland Druggist, said he did not
oppose the principle of doing away
with capital punishment but said
the public wants assurance that
persons convicted of murder will1
be put away for a ldng term.
Meek said there is a need for a
mandatory minimum term of 25
years not just the present seven-year
minimum.
It. M. Kandall. director of Da-
role and probation for the state,
said that before parole the aver
age sentence works out to 12
years for persons convicted of
murder. .
Kennedy May
Oppose Wagner
NEW YORK (AP) Former Po
lice Commissioner Stephen P.
Kennedy says he- would not enter
politics "under any conditions"
but speculation continues on the
possibility he may be a candidate
for mayor.
Kennedy, after announcing his
resignation Wednesday night, told
newsmen he would definitely not
enter politics.
But a mayoralty ' election is
coming up next November, and
Tammany Hall presumably is
shopping around for a candidate
to appose Mayor Robert F. Wag.
ner, who split with organization
leader Carmine G. De Sapio.
Kennedy, 54, outspoken and with
a reputation for integrity, is wide
ly known to New Yorkers through
the news columns.
There also has been talk of a
fusion c a nd i d at e for mayor,
backed by Republicans, Liberals
and the so-called "reform" Demo
cratic insurgents."
But a former police commis
sioner, Francis W. H. Adams, a
personal friend of Kennedy and
a leader in the Democratic insur
gent wing, said Thursday he
hoped Kennedy wouldn't run for
mayor.
"It's one thing to run a disci
plined police force and another to
govern a city of millions, with its
diverse elements," Adams said.
Bernard Newman, New York
County Republican leader, said he
did not know if Kennedy was in
terested in running for office.
Other Republican leaders said
only that Kennedy's potential was
"interesting."
Little Old Lady
Requests Parole
LANSING, Mich. (AP)-A little
old lady with bright dark eyes
and an unwrinkled face told the
men on Michigan's State Parole
Board why she wants to leave the
prison that has been her home
since 1933.
"I haven't very long left in this
world," she said. "1 would like
to be free."
Elizabeth Ziolkowski. 85. is the
oldest of some 400 women prison
ers at the Detroit House of Cor
rection. She was sentenced to life
imprisonment 28 years ago after
a jury, convicted her of poisoning
her third husband with arsenic.
The sentencing judge, in a state
ment, said it was thought that she
murdered her spouse to collect his
insurance. The judge, now dead.
said there were indications that
she killed her second husband the
same way although she never was
brought to trial for his death.
Mrs. Ziolkowski, 4 plump, pleasant-faced
grandmother,- said at
her trial that she was innocent.
She still savs so. - i
She (old her story lo the parole
board Thursday in hopes that Gov.
John B. Swainson will commute
her sentence, making her eligible
for parole.
John Ziolkowski, 41 when he
died, bought lead arsenic powder
and used it in an attempt to heal
sores on his body, she said. Some
of it, she said, apparently got into
his blood system.
"I didn't even know what it
was." she said.
She said her second husband
died of a heart attack after eight
years of marriage. She and Ziol
kowski, an auto plant worker,
were married four years. She and
her first husband were divorced.
Only a son and daughter of her
eight children are still living.

and Mrs. Bill Carstens cofne around that corner with their triplets in this specially
designed three-seater stroller presented to Carstens at Thursday's Roseburg Rotary Club
meeting. The stroller was bond-crafted by A. E. Peterson, president of the Peterson

for his local furniture store. It is the only three-seater in existence and was presented by
Bill Dalton, Dallas, past president of Westores, of which Carstens Store is one of some

Question Before The House Is:
What Is Oregon's Official Fish!
SALEM (AP) The question'
before the House and Senate:
Shall the Chinook salmon be
named the official Oregon fish?
Sen. Andrew J. Natvrlin, D
Newport, in Senate Joint Resolu
tion 2ti. says: "Whereas there has
been designated an oflicial flower,
bird and tree. ...
An official fish follows properly,
says Naterlin, and as properly it
would need to be the Chinook
salmon. "Just about every Oregon
stream has salmon." he says, and
adds that what with depletion be
caue of dams and other things,
this is a good time to call it to
people's attention.
Asked Resolution
The Oregon Wildlife Federation
asked for the resolution. "They
tell me California and Washing,
ton have stale fish," said the sen
ator, who conceded, "I don't know
what thev are." (In California
it's the California golden trout;
in Washington, the sleelhead.
There is one more: in New Jlexico
the cutthroat trout is official.)
Salmon come quickly to mind
in Oregon's Statehouse, On the
carpeting in the Senate chamber
a salmon is pictured leaping from
a stream. Perhaps it is a Chinook.
Records do not say. Over the west
entrance to the Statehouse. three
salmon are headed north. Records
say they are indeed Chinook.
Purists Raised Question
Purists raised a question on this
in 1937 when the Capitol was new.
What were salmon doing headed
north when that would put them
on a downstream run in the near
by Willamette?
Slate Archivist David C. Duni
way, dusting off the records,
says when New York artist Eric
Kllerhiisen was commissioned to
do the salmon and confessed he
had never seen one, a fine Chi
nook was iced and sent East as
his model. Direction of the Willam
ette's flow seems not to have in
terested him.
It has been quite a time since
Oregon lawmakers were con
cerned with a problem of the sort
raised by Joint Resolution No. 28.
and then the choice was as obvi
ous. The Douglas fir was named
the official tree in 1939. (Washing
ton, with perhaps an equal claim
to it. went for the hemlock).
Double Chore
In 1927 the legislature had a
double chore. It named a state
song, "Oregon, My Oregon," and
a state bird, the Western meadow
lark. It has been joined since on
the meadowlark by Wyoming, Ne
braska. Montana, Kansas and
North Dakota.
The state flower came early.
The Oregon grape was chosen in
1899, an era of much flower-choosing
in state capitols.
I After getting a stale fish Ore
gon still will lag. It has no stats
animal. A few slates do. And Wis
consin even has two the badger
and the white tailed deer.
What is the importance of this
sort of thing? Well, says Naterlin
in support of a state fish, it will
advertise an economic and recre
ational resource of the state; may
do for Oregon what the potato has
done for Idaho,
Bill Would Cut Size
Of State Capitol Mall 1
SALEM (AP)-The Senate to
day sent a bill lo reduce the sirs
of the Capitol Mall area bark to)
the Senate Slate and federal Af
fairs Committee.
Sen. Walter J. Pearson, D
Portland, chairman of the com
mittee, said the Capitol Planning
Commission wants a chance to be
heard on the bill.
The bill would eliminate art
area two blocks wide and 1,200
feet long from the mall. It is at
the north end. The state now owns
41) per cent of the property in
that area, and the hill would re
quire the stale to sell this prop
erty. No stale buildings are in the
area that would be eliminated.

Sprague Testifies
On Three-Way
SALEM (AP) - Costs to em
ployers and bureaucracy both
would increase under the pro
posed three-way industrial acci
dent compensation bill, former
Gov. Charles A. Sprague said
Thursday.
Sprague identified himself as
president of the Statesman-Jdur-nal
Publishing Co., which he de
scribed as a small business
and said he was speaking only
for himself.
The three-way proposal would
permit employers to insure under
the industrial accident act with
the state, private insurance com
panies or insure themselves.
The state already has three-way
insurance, Sprague said, because
employers who don't like the slate
system can insure themselves un
der the employers liability act.
The Salem publisher said he did
not think small business would
benefit under the proposed three
way law.
William J. Moshofsky, Georgia
Tacific Corp. attorney speaking
for Associated Oregon Industries,
railed for passage of the three
way law lo eliminate "stale mon
opoly." He said the state Industrial Ac
cident Commission is providing
neither the employes nor employ
ers with the protection they
should get. He said the commis
sion has an ineffective safety pro
gram and has not used its safety
enforcement powers.
Jack Halpan. Redding. Calif.,
attorney testifying on behalf of
the Oregon AFL-CIO. said he felt
Oregon's present t system is better
than the California, three-way svs
tcm which is like tliat proposed lor
Oregon.
Strike Looms
At Hanford
WASHINGTON (AP) A. tele
gram to President Kennedy from
the AFL-CIO Metal Trades De
partment says the Hanford Atom
ic Works in south central Wash
ington may.be struck-March 14
in the dispute with General Elec
tric Co., plant operator.
The message sent by James A.
Brownlow, president of the Metal
Trades Union, Thursday said the
union has agreed to accept all
settlement recommendations of a
presidential panel including ones
"adverse to our union." -
Unless the government can in
duce GE toaccept the panel find
ings within the 30-day period from
their issuance Feb. 12, Brownlow
said, "our union members in this
plant appear to have no alterna
tive but to commence strike ac

tinues its abject refusal to settle
on the basis of the panel's find-,
ings," Brownlow said.
He also said the Hanford Atomic
Metal Trades Council and its 19
affiliated unions, which represent
more than 3.200 workers, "do not
wish to strike."- The plant has
about 10.000 employes.
The Atomic Energy Commission
received newspaper inquiries as to
how it would instruct the contrac
tor at its Hanford plutonium-pro-ducing
plant in the event of a
majority strike.
A spokesman said it would he

A letter with an enclosed news-i
paper clipping was received by Mr.
and Mrs. Lou Shigley of Winston
from their daughter. Mrs. Bill Cain
of Newark, Calif., relating the fol
lowing story in which a former
Winstonite was involved:
"NEWARK That special bit of
providence which somehow for
gives the antics of 4-year-old boys
smiled again yesterday.
Little Rusty Dent and Ricky
Mayers are alive today to again
bedevil mom and dad with their
rough and tumble.
But shortly before 3 p.m. yes
terday both were floating silently
in a neighbor's swimming pool.
Their faces down, their lungs filled
with water, their breathing slop
ped. 'The boys are playing in the wa
ter,' tattled their 3-year-old chum
Stevie.
Mrs. Donald Dent, 37069 St.

scold them for splashing in t h e
flower pots.
But they weren't to be seen.
Realization of what Stevie had
meant horrified her.
She ran lo the fence of next
door neighbors Mr. and Airs. Paul
King and saw what she dreaded.
Rusty was floating on top of the
King swimming pool. Rickey, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. May
ers; lay on the bottom of the eight-foot-deep
pool.
She fought her Way over the six
foot fence, screaming 'until my
throat feels like sandpaper.'
She can't swim. But she grasped ,
out for her boy who was float
ing almost out of reach.
'f tugged on one or two strands
of hair, then a little more final
ly I had enough lo pull him out,'
she said.
'I squished on Rusty until he
groaned, she said.
He started breathing.
In the meantime Slcvic's father,
Doran Beaudoin, (formerly resid
ing in Winston) heard her screams.
He'd been scouring the neighbor
hood for his boy.
He, too, scrambled over the
fence. When he. saw what was at
the bottom of the pool he dove in.
not hesitating to remove even his
wallet.
He came up with Ricky. The
commotion had attracted a neigh

Newark.
He and Beaudoin p u in pe d
