'Good JoV The fact that only six minimum custody men, or trusties, , walked away last year ii evidence that the committee is doing well. - Besides Barnei, the members of the committee are the deputy war den in charge of mass treatment; the two chaplains, the psychiatrist, the ' supervisor of classification, and the educational director. "We haven't had anybody break out for a long time," Gladden says. "We hear lots of rumors, but none of them have panned out. . "But we have a lot of men who are thinking all the time about ways to get out So we'll have some attempts some time. In the meantime, all our officers and staff must stay on the alert." Added Sentence When a man escapes, he can have up to 10 years added to his sentence. Until recently, the judges thinks this is a good Idea. Gladden has tightened the secu rity of the prison lately. There now are strict rules that won't let prisoners stand idle in the" prison yard. There used to be hundreds. 1 When I walked through the grounds last week with Gladden, I saw only one idle prisoner on the grounds. Gladden took care of him quickly, putting the man back to work. Another security measure is the new arsenal tower, located In the middle of the driveway in . front of the administration building. Every Stops Anybody used to be able to walk into the administration building. But not now. The tower guard stops everyone and questions him before letting him proceed, to the main building. Yes, things are much different now than they were ln April, 1953, when Gladden came out of retire ment to bring order out of chaos at the prison. At that time, Gladden said It would take him about three years to get the institution operating the way he wanted it to run.' He worked IS hours a day, and drove his men hard. Many em ployes were replaced. Discipline was restored among the inmates and employes. The Jood . was im proved greatly. And the inmates were given a wide choice of vo cational training, as well as edu cation through the college level. Now Gladden is pretty well satis fied... "We still have many things I'd like to do." he says, "but 1 feel now that the Oregon penitentiary is as good as any in the United States." against Salem Attorney Ray H. Bassett. The motion by Boetticher was allowed by Circuit Judge George R. Duncan alter part of the jury bad been selected to hear the case involving a damage suit for $4(1.000. An earlier court session ended In a mistrial in Judge Dun can's court; a second effort end ed when Circuit Judge Val D. Sloper disqualified himself from bearinj the case. Boetticher's complaint accused Bassett of making two alleged statements defaming his charact er two yean ago. ' Registration Stressed for School Vote School officials continued Wed nesday to stress voter registration in connection with the coming Feb, 6 vote in Salem School District on a $2,900,000 bond issue to finance twe new junior high schools and remodeling of present schools. Citizens must be registered by this Friday in order to vote In the election. Voter registration is con ducted at both Marion and Folk County Courthouses.
