Nurses' Home
Zone Change
Draws Protest
A proposal to change a zone 2
residential area at Oak and South
Winter streets to zone 3 in order
to permit construction of a
nurses' home across from Salem
Deaconess hospital will be given
a public hearing April 24 provid
ed the petition for the change
wins preliminary approval by
City Engineer J. H. Davis.
The hospital request was re
ceived last night by the city
planning and zoning commission
at a meeting in city hall follow
ing a public hearing on another
proposed zone change.
Reject Request
The commission rejected a re
quest for a change from zone 1
to zone 3 on Market street near
21st, after hearing petitions in
remonstrance and opposition
voiced on behalf of resident of
the area ' by Attorney Ralph
Moody.
R. J. Martin had requested the
change. City Attorney Lawrence
Brown informed the , commission
that the establishment of a busi
ness zone in that residential area
would be an example of Illegal
spot zoning. The commission's
rejection will be communicated
to the city council.
Commissioners heard the reso
lution adopted this week by city
council, calling for an over-all
city zoning survey to be made
by the commission and the city
long range planning commission.
It was decided that a joint meet
ing of the two 'groups be held as
soon as a convenient meeting
date is determined by the city
recorder.

I The two convicts captured yesterday offered no resistance and
their only weapon was a large knife found on the ground after they

hiding place by Mrs. Leo! N. Childs, who live next door at 320

Ta Ask Indictments
- . .-7c
i Marion county District Attor
ney Miller B. Hayden Wednesday
Stated that as soon as the county
grand jury is drawn he wl ask
it to indict four of the escaped
convicts on a charge of escaping
from a state institution. Dysc$g al
ready a life termer will not be
indicted, Hayden said, because it
would be useless to add time to
life sentence.
"The Oregon state parole board
has been too lenient in, the mat
ter of paroling life termers," Hay
den declared. "To date the' average
time served by prisoners sentenced
to life terms has been about 13
years. It has been my policy to
seek indictments on escaped con
victs if for no other reason than to
make it less easy for them to be
paroled."
Na 14 airy Planned:
Neither Governor Earl Snell nor
other members of the state board
f control have any intention of
launching an investigation of the
prison break, it was indicated
Wednesday. Officials agree that
many of the guard are too old
but said their places cannot be
filled with younger men under
the current salary schedule.
The average age of tower guards
at the prison is about 60 years.
It also was pointed, out that the
prison plant is far from mpdern.
i Warden George Alexander said
that conditions at the Oregon: pris
on are no .different from those at
other older penal! institutions.

ways will be escapes? he declared.

Rep.floffman
Hands Morse
Verbal Lashing
WASHINGTON, April 3 -(JF)
Rep. HoHman (R-Mich) told the
house today that the college de
grees held by Senator Morse (R
OreX did not show "he ever had
earned or been awarded a degee
of CS (common sense); SJ (sound
judgment)."
The Michigan republican criti
cized a statement by Morse yes
terday that at the republican na
tional committee banquet Mon
day night he found "the same
old cliques and reactionary nos
trums and nausea which have
produced republican defeats since
1932." .
Hoffman reviewed Morse's ca
reer and inserted in the record
the biographical sketch printed
in the Congressional - Record,
which, he said, was "no doubt
written by. the gentleman him
self." Too Much . Learning
"No one questions his learn
ing," Hoffman said. "It has been
said a little learning is a danger
ous thing! Perhaps too much
learning is worse. The gentleman
bemoans the fate of the republi
can party, but from its birth down
to the time when he proclaimed
himself a member of it, it did
very well, Just where the gen
tleman received a certificate or
a degree entitling him to admis
sion to the republican party or to
read out of it any of those who
adhere to its historical principles,
he has not yet disclosed."
'Screwy Ideas'
The representative said that
when Morse was a member of
the war labor board he "had some
decidedly screwy ideas," and
added: '
"A few callouses on his feet and
hands, honestly earned, a few dol
lars lost in practicing his own
theories in connection with busi
ness enterprises might go far in
enabling the gentleman to speak
advisedly on republican policies."
Enjoys Invectives
Morse said he "thoroughly en
joyed Congressman Hoffman's in
vectives." "I consider his opposition to
me," the Oregonian told a report
er, "one of the finest compli
ments over paid me."

There will be no more KP (kitch
en police) duty in the army air

nounced today.
