It Is now ten years since the
department of parole and'proba
tion was established in Oregon.
There had been a parole board
for many years, consisting of the
secretary to the governor.and two
appointed members. But during
the "administration of Governor
Martin a commission was ap
pointed to make a study of the
parole problem and recommend
changes. Sen. Wayne L Morse,
then dean of U. of O. law school,
' was chairman, I believe, and W. L.
Josslin, the governor's secretary,
was an active member. The legis
lation recommended, by the com
mission was passe in 1939 and
in June the reorganized depart
ment set up, with Paul Kelty,
chairman and Gerald Mason, who
had been a- member of the old
board, and Roy S.' Keene, mem
tCTS. This board gave very careful
thought to the performance of its
duties, moving cautiously in the
selection of a staff and adoption
of policies. Fred Findsley- was its
choice as director ana in s. me-;
Sherry as deputy director. A small
staff of parole ollicers was cnosen
and the work launched,

Br th Atnoclated Pre '
At least 145 persons who started out on a carefree Fourth of July
weekend will never see another holiday.

lives, Qf which almost 300 were

Revolutionary
Leader's Death
By Dimlter. Mishev
SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 2-(JP)-The
death of Premier Georgi Dim
itrov, internationally known revol
utionary leader, was mourned to
night by communists the world
over.
The Bulgarian communist par
ty's central committee announced
tonight the death in a sanatorium
near Moscow, where Dimitrov had
been under treatment for diabetes
and liver ailments since April. He !
was 67 years old. t
The Kremlin Jrlself set the pace
in expressing grief at the death, j
A guard of honor was placed over j
the bier at Moscow. Stalin is a !
member of the honor guard.
Dimitrov had been premier since ;
Nov. 22, 1946. He was a clo-e and
trusted friend of Josef Stalin lor 1
! 30 years. j
The Swarthy Dimitrov. with I
I bushy eyebrows and a heavy black
; mustache, was exiled from Bul
j garia for 22 years because of his
: early communist aeth ties. He re
' mained an obscure figure until
1933 when the Hitler clique in
! Germany accused him of engineer
f ing the Reichstag fire conspiracy,
I From then on he was known to
the world.
Dimitrov, refusing an attorney,
defended himself and so out-foxed
the nazi judges that he, won ac
j quittal. After the trial Dimitrov
! went to Russia, where he became
' general secretary of the Comintern.
In March, 1945. with world war
; II over, Dimitrov surrendered his
i Russian citizenship and member
