Lewis Admirer!
Alexander yill Strive to
Carry on Work of His"'"
Late Predecessor
Soft-spoken, youngish George
Alexander, who looks several years
younger than his 54 years, wants
to carry on In the tradition of the
late James. W. Lewis when he be
comes warden of the state peni
tentiary two weeks from today.
Alexander, a heavy-set man
With. aravlna- hair and hn win
gold rimmed glasses, wants to be j
strict and fair, traits that caused
convicts to call Lewis "Square
Deal Jim'
To Retain Staff
' The new warden, with 22 tmm
of law enforcement experience be-
nind him, said he would keep the
present- - prison staff. Including
Acting Warden E. C. Halley. who
win oe Alexander s deputy.
The only thing that worries
Alexander is whether his 10-year-old
daughter will like liTing in
the warden's colonial house on the
prison grounds. He is afraid it
eight affect her adversely.
: He is pleasant to talk to. but
behind his exterior is a sternness
tempered by sympathy. Alexan
der believes in trying to rehabili
tate criminals, but adds that most
rimlnals are beyond redemption
when they enter prison walls.
. Won't Coddle Criminals
"t was raised to believe in an
eye for an eye and a tooth for a
iootn.- he said. 'Tor this reason,
I believe strongly In capital pun
ishment. T don't .believe in coddling
criminals, and I have no urmnnlhw
for -organizations which do any
coddling, some organizations send
representatives to call nn nri.nn.
; ers they don't even know. I don't
uxe -mat and the convicts don't
like- it either."
The new job will not be so
arrange to Alexander, since he
comes in daily contact with" most
of the prison staff.
Alexander's fondness for the j
te warden dates back 16 years
wheb Alexander, then Washlnrton
county sheriff, brought prisoners
. to tne penitentiary, which Lewis
then headed.
Experience Lengthy
Alexander's police career began
tn 916 when he was appointed
sheriff of Washington county. Two
yeare later he was elected sheriff,
serving untll 1927 when he was
appointed head of the state's pro
hibition enforcement officers.
Ha held this Job until 1931,
then becoming deputy superin
tendent -of state police, the Job
be now holds. He dislikes politics,
his police experience convincing
him that politics and police work
don't mix.

One-Woman Show
Pleases Audience
Dorothy Crawford Artist
in Multiple Roles on
Stage at Leslie
By MAXINE BUREN
Dorothy Crawford gave some
thing new in entertainment to a
Salem audience last night when
she appeared in a program of
character sketches at Leslie audi.
torium under the sponsorship of
tne baiem community concert
association.
Her success was proven by the
spellbound attention with which
the audience listened throughout
the complete program. One wom
an alone on the stage, acting the
parts of a dozen characters, must
be a real actress to hold the au
dience. Her parts ranged from that of
an American woman trying to
make the waiter in a French cafe
understand her French-in-fifteen-leesons,
to a woman accused of
murder. The artist writes her own
saeicnes.
The sketch of an Italian fish
erman'a wife . waiting anxiously
lor her Tony to come home,
through the tog was especially
annreciated. Her fear- for his
aafetv contrasting with her and
aen anger wnen ne arrived, with
out fish, was characteristic of
the fine dramatic work done by
Miss Crawford.
Sosnect la Cleared
The second aketch was that of
three witnesses and a woman ac
cused of murder. Her witnesses
were a plain English maid, a
frivolous friend of the accused
and a self assured, eum-chewinr
telephone operatog. The dramatic
climax wnicn nroved an unex
pected alibi for the accused was
effectively done.
A studio evening, with the
hostess introducing three dis
tinguished guests concluded the
evening's nerformance. The noet-
ess who compared her own and
others' poems, the princess who
toia eu aoout Kussia in five min
utes: and the singer with the
sniffles who brourht hark a new
method of singing from Europe
each summer, were characters
portrayed.

for the difference in character
which is actuallv produced by ex

Rees added to the Interest of
the evening and he was applaud
ed after his group of solo num
bers. His encore was a Brahms
waltz.

Bonneville Administrator J. D.
Ross, meeting here today with
commissioners of 28 Washington
and 14 Oregon public utility dis
tricts, decided to poll each district
board to determine what "reason
able taxes" these power, systems
should pay toward support of lo
cal government.
No agreement was reached to
day, except that taxes, donations
and free service should be includ
ed in a single levy.
Ross said he would send ques
tionnaires to each district board.
The administrator said the levy
would be on gross revenues.
Ross announced he planned to
visit Washington, D. C, early in
1939 to seek additional funds for
transmission lines to radial cen
ters in the Bonneville area.
Each district Durchasinr Bonne
ville power will pay the same
rate $17.50 per kilowatt year
he said. The administrator esti
mated transmission lines could be
completed within 18 months.
He advised districts to build
competing lines if they cannot
acquire existing systems at a
fair price.'
