'Quagmire' i i Maroons
Zena Road Residents
! By Charles Ireland
Valley Editor. The Statesman
ZENA There was no joy,
rain and an unfinished construction project turned Zena Road into
a quagmire that motorists found impassable.
Involved is at least three miles of the road to Zena, a byway
that leaves Wallace Road just north of Salem, meanders through the
' Polk County hills and loops back to tbe highway near Lincoln store.

Back in the mid-1920s after the
people repealed an income; tax law
tbe state of Oregon piled up a def
icit. Thereafter for some IS years
-Old Man Deficit" was the "old
man of the sea" in Oregon politics.
He haunted ways and means com
mittees of legislative assemblies.
He was a ghost in state offices and
institutions v of higher I learning,
Whenever a new building ; was
asked for or salary' increases pro
posed "Old Man Deficit" was
dangled like a gaunt and forbid
ding skeleton before; the suppli
cants for state funds. ' I do recall,
however, that after ' the 1929 ses
sion Gov. L L. Patterson had some
praise for the deficit he said it
. gave him a good excuse for veto
ing appropriations to the? amount
of a million or so). -Into the gov
ernorship in 1931 came Julius L.
Meier who named Henry Hanzen
his budget director. Then Old Man
Deficit and the Depression! Com
bined to play havoc 4witb state apf
propriations. When Budget Dir
ector Hanzen got through with
preparing the budget and the 1933
legislature got through using its
paring knife the total of the funds
appropriated would 4 hardly be
enough to finance a single big-dei
partment today in the style to
which it has become accustomed.
By dint of severe economies in
the Meier administration which
were only slightly relaxed in the
succeeding Martin administration,
it was possible to wipe out the
famous state deficit in the early
1940s (also to quit raising money
for state purposes via the property
tax). ' 1 1 - - ' i
While Oregon was wiping out its
deficit the New Deal and later tbe
world war put the federal govern

Road Being Widened
Polk County Judge C. F. (Jack)
Hayes j blamed the situation on
rain that "came a week too soon."
He said the road was being wid
ened and rebuilt, and that rain
hit dry dirt before county crews
had a chance to get rock on it?
The judge said Thursday night
that all available equipment had
been working for two days to
make the road passable. He pre
dicted the road would be opened
sometime Friday. A crew will
stay with the job, he told The
Statesman, until the road is com
pletely rocked, i 1 1
Some of the residents involved
think , the county had ample time
to complete the job before the
rainy j season, j i
'They started to work on this
road in mid-summer." declared
Harold Washburn. They'd tear
up a stretch and then leave. Thev
don't seem to have any system."

Seeks Ruling 1
On $2 MiUion
LOS ANGELES IB A hearing
opened in federal tax court Thurs
day to determine if Jack : Benny
should pay income taxes on a $2,-
260,000 stock deal. 4 :
The comedian has appealed from
an internal Revenue Bureau rul
ing that he should pay the taxes
as the result of sale of stock in his
Amusement Enterprises, Inc., to
the Columbia Broadcasting Sys
tem, r ! l
The comedian claims that the
$2,260,000 paid by CBS for tbe
stock represents a long term capi
tal gain and thus subject td a less
er tax than would be paid on per
sonal income.
I But the government contends
that all but a fraction of the money
was paid to Benny to induce him
to transfer his show Ifrom the Na
tional Broadcasting Co. network
to CBS, and should have been re
ported as personal income.

keg at Walla Walla, said War
den Lawrence Delmore Jr. vi
Three prisoners plotted the lat
est break in a two-day epidemic of
escapes at the prison, but one was
caught on a cellblock roof before he
could follow his companions over
the wall., V .. ( ,t
The two fugitives were described
by Delmore as "extremeley dan
gerous." He identified them as
James Frazier, 23,! serving a life
term for claying a suburban Seat
tle grocer, and Rody Erb, 23, Ta
coma, doing 10 years for armed
robbery. , j -
Third Man Captured ,
The third man, Charles McCabe,
23. was recaptured when guards
spotted him on the roof of - Wing

hit
Frazier and Erb 1 were believed
to nave fled in a pig, green car
stolen from downtown Walla Walla
shortly after their escape at 2:30
a. nf. Thursday. No trace of them
or the automobile has been found
by Washington and Oregon state
and local officers staking part
the search.5
Delmore said the: rash of recent
escapes, in which six men got free
but three were recaptured, can be
traced to the '.'enforced idleness'
by about 500 of the prison's
con
victs. He said the "lack of anything
to do' has brought serious unrest
among tbe men.
'Classic Escape
The warden called the latest es
cape j "classic." The trio used ' a
hook, rope, sawblades, pliers and a
screwdriver they had succeeded in
smuggling into their cell since they
were put together Sept. L
The three men got to the top of
their cellblock :wing by removing
La ventilator screen i in their cell
crawling up the airshaft to the
attic, then out a . window to tbe
roof 60 feet above the ground.
There they tied the book to the
30-foot long rope and cast it to the
22-foot high prison! wall The hook
caught on a catwalk, and Frazier
ana Erb quickly swung hand-over
nana on the rope to the wall 30
feet away, then dropped over.
McCabe1 was about to follow them
when the escape was discovered by
Delmore said the rope and hook
had been smuggled into tbe men's
cell from the prison auditorium
stage: He did; not I say where the
sawblades and small tools were
acquired..- - -
The warden placed no blame pub
licly on hia staff,! but said "We
are making some changes in the
operation of the institution.
