Portland Cops in
Moving Business
Officers Need Trucks to
Hani Away Loot of
. Pair Arrested
PORTLAND, Ore., July lS-i&y-
It was moving day for Portland
police today following arrest of
Lewis Lafollett, 18, and his com
panion, LeRoy Dolson, 18, on bur
glary charges.
Officers backed trucks to an old
dwelling in southwest Portland
and carted away goods, loot of
some 20 robberies by a youth
whose practice of carting his wag
away in pillow slips gained him
the sobriquet of the "Pillow Slip
Burglar." Detectives Roy Ripley
and Perry Bel lea said 13000
worth of stuff, ranging from golf
balls and jewelry to clothing and
radios, were stored in the house
where Lafollett lives alone.
Dolson was arrested when he
appeared at detective headquar
ters to see Lafollett. Questioned,
he told Detectives Glenn Howell
and John McColloch he had aided
Lafollett since July.
Lafollett's 1 8-year-old girl com
panion, Frances Lewis, was held
by the district attorney. The youth
denied the girl participated in any
of the robberies although he said
she sometimes waited for him in
an automobile. :
Late today officers checked ar
ticle by article, the golf tees, ten
nis reequets, guns, clocks, motion
picture sets, tennis balls and doz
ens of items against a six-month-old
robbery report.

17 WPA Workers There
to Remain at Posts
Members Assert
The 17 WPA workers at the
Salem Art Center will remain at
their work, although a - onerday
walkout demonstration is planned
for today by workers throughout
the state. The 13. resident; and
four loaned "WPA workers includ
ed in the office and teaching staff
of the Art Center are pleased with
their working conditions and see
no reason for a -protest, said mem
bers of the staff when questioned
Yesterday. ' '
The changes in wage scales
mean leas to those employed at
the Center than other workers,
aa most employes locally are on a
120-hour schedule already ana
only 10 hours will be added to
their present working scale tn or
der for them to maintain the same
ware.
Of this Mrs. Elsa Kbsen said.
"Extra hours have not bothered
us, wo are one happy family here.1
Interests Are Local
WPA workers at the Center
stated their interests lie with the
local - organisation, not the WPA
as a national group. There is no
workers' organization, spokesmen
at the Center said.
Although it was stated recently
that the new regulations made by
congress on the WPA would hare
no effect on the Salem Art Center,
it was found yesterday that! the
30-day layoff will effect the office
and teaching staff. The new ruling
provides that all WPA workers
who have been on the rolls 18
months' will belaid off for 30 days
and not re-Instated unless re-certified.
As all WPA workers ex
cept supervisors are certified, the
entire staff with the exception of
Yal Clear, the director, will be
effected. The ruling is effective
on August 1 but no one on the
staff has been on the rolls for
the 18 months.
To Alternate Jobs
"When the time for layoffs
comes." said Val Clear yesterday.
"we will continue our present
service to art students by stag
gering the layoffs, with no great
hardships, providing re-certifica
tion of workers can be made. If
not, our problem may be an im
portant one, because finding good
art instructors is no easy task."
uiear sata recently tnat new
regulations for the WPA funds
would have little effect on the ac
tivities at the local Genter. The
scope of the Salem Art Center has
been widened and now is head
quarters for other centers being
organized throughout the state.
All exhibits will be cleared
through this center which means
that an enlarged staff will ulti
mately be necessary here.

"In your letter you also urge
