Sprague and other board v members expressed the opinioin j that present disciplinary meat , tires at the prison were necessary. , "My last word la, donl relax your discipline, the governor told Warden George Alexander.

I believe ;.it is a good thing, however, to ' help them learn how to earn a lfving honestly so that they won't come back when you release ''them." t. The governor added: , . "The work of the parole board "is good, but it must be preceded by vocational education. "The core of the problem is. first, reconstruction of plant and, - second, development of a voca tional and recreational program which would rehabilitate. Wheth er the men can't talk during meals or have to walk with their arms folded is not the vital problem. I'm not for relaxing discipline. , Treat the convicts humanely, but keep a firm grip on them. . "A better job of segregation is , one secret of prison management" Alexander denied the report's statements that men are allowed visitors for only 15 minutes a month, the warden asserting they re given 15 minutes at least ev ery two weeks and often much ' longer. He added that the- re port's statements about the soli- - tary confinement cells being cruel . likewise is untrue. Men are kept in those cells, he said, usually un til they agree to conform with prison rules. The report recommended that women prisoners be transferred to the Washington state prison, but Alexander said this would be illegal under state law. Alexander said he weald eon- form to the ; report's recom mendation that the convicts be allowed te see metloa pictures. - ffhe warden said lie was spend v mf'SMSf f the convicts' own money te bay movie equipment. State "Treasurer Scott urged that the warden provide for more water for fire protection.

EUGENE, Nov. 24 (JPy The rain-swollen Siuslaw river went on a rampage Tuesday and the Willamette rose to 11 feet barely below its flood stage. The Siuslaw ripped four log rafts from moorings at Mapleton, piling, them up against a Southern Pacific railroad bridge in a solid mass extending the width of the! stream. Streets of Mapleton and Eugene were flooded in some areas and the Eugene municipal power plant at Leaburg.was forced to close down because of driftwood in the i McKenzie river.

The dairy producting such milk would have to be very dirty" Jud son said, later agreeing with Wil liams that the matter of a cooling system or lack of such system con siderably affects bacteria count in raw milk. Possibility that the 500,000 count (in Portland's new ordi nance with US department of health recommendations) might be cut was foreseen after Klaus had presented results of a study of 30 dairies now producing for the manufacturing field: Most of them produced raw milk below the 50,000 count; a number were below 10,000 and in some cases the pasteurized milk was without any bacteria, he said. Those with high count, he declared, could mend the situation by simple changes in methods. The amendment would allow dairies conforming to state re quirements to sell on the Salem market the lower grade milk, if it pasteurized out with a bacteria count not exceeding 00,000 per cubic centimeter; the current law requires no more than 20,000.
