The only one that met with real success was the Washington Naval Confer ence of 1921, called by President Harding. Inder the agreement forged then nations agreed to limit their navies. As a result the I'nited States sank some of its ships and virtually suspended naval construc tion for a decade. With the out break of the second world war and discovery of Japanese oversize battleships Americans came to the conclusion that the 1921 naval con ference had been too successful. In view of that fact I have beea skeptical of making much progress toward disarmament at interna tional conferences, or of approval by Congress of treaties which cut down our military strength unless we were positive our relative posi tion was not impaired The amwirrlcbment Friday of the termination in deadlock of the Lon don conference on disarmament held under the auspices of United Nations really occasions no sur prise. There was the usual tender of plans by the I'nited States, by Russia, by Britain and France, and the usual agreement of other mem bers to study the plans and the usual reports back of unacoepl ability. Harold Stassen. the U. S. representative, really got the brushoff when at the Russian party honoring Bulganin and Khrushchev in London, ffle latter told him, with reference to international inspec tion, that the I'SSR didn t want (Continued on editorial page 4.)

Kidd's arrest Friday morning was for charges involving two of the vehicles, one taken from Dan iel L. Whitestead, 715 Glen Creek Rd., and the other from Francis M. Stout at Detroit. In his flight. Kidd sawed the bars from his cell and dropped almost three stones to the ground on a rope fashioned from bed sheets. Thrill Fires' The youth was arrested in 1954 after setting several Portland blazes "while on beer drinking binges" for the thrill of watching the fires. He admitted the arson but was ruled innocent by reason of Insanity by tbe late Judge Low ell Mundorff. "Kidd is not Insane," said Hos p 1 1 a 1 Superintendent Dr. Dean Brooks, "and we have no authority to keep him." Dr. Brooks said the hospital staff study of the youth had determined that he knew right and wrong, the basis or insanity decisions in Oregon. ney Authorities had been notified by the hospital of Kidd's pending release but apparently decided not to prosecute him on the other cases. Kidd was met by State Police Sgt. Byron Hazelton and Patrol man Floyd Morrill who arrested him on identical felony charges of unauthorized use of motor vehicles. He was taken to the Marion Coun-1 ly jail where he was being held Friday night in lieu of $3,500 hail. ! Preliminary hearing is scheduled in Judge E. O. Stadter's Marion County District Court Monday. PORTLAND City Commis-' sioner Stanley Karl called Friday i (or prosecution of Richard B.

Youth Kills One Teacher, Wounds Two (Pictures on Wlrephoto Page.) SEAT PLEASANT. Md. -Reprimanded for failing to turn in a written assignment, a 15-year-old boy killed one teacher by rifle fire Friday and wounded two others in a junior high school. Police chief George J. Pana goulis said the boy, Billy Ray Prevatte, who was expelled from a Raleigh, N. C, school two months ago for threatening a teacher's life, was gunning for the principal' when he fired on the three teachers. The principal was not harmed. Victims of the shooting, which threw the Maryland Park Junior High School on the outskirts of Washington. D. C, into an up roar, were Frazer Cameron, 32. bachelor son of a Westfield, N. J. school teacher whose bags were packed for a weekend visit with his moth er when he was killed. Francis Daniel Wagner, 25, the school athletic coach, seriously wounded in the chest. Robert Hicks, 31, shot in the hand while trying to subdue the boy. State attorney Blair H. Smith ordered Prevatte charged with murder, two counts of assault with intent to kill and two of as sault with a deadly weapon. Under preliminary questioning by Detective Lt. E. Lee Purhph rey, police said the boy declared he didn't know why he shot Cam eron. A-Tests Start; H-Drop Set Next Tuesday ABOARD t'SS MT.

State ForllSMiJlionMental-HospiM Convict Status Probed Investigation Shows Wardens Differ in Rule By CALVIN JOHNSON Staff Writer, The Statesman A question of why one warden released convicts in the state prison after they served two thirds of their time and another warden freed them "alter comple tion of three-fourths of their sentence was brought out Friday in the handling of a convict. And the status of those who have been treed under the two thirds rule maybe hundreds of them remained to be clarified. The confusion was brought to light Friday during The States mar's investigation of the case of George Fredericks, who has been in the Marion County jail since Nov. 29 of last year, soon after he was released from the state prison. He had been held pend ing an effort to extradite him to California. Mistakenly Freed It was discovered, through an application of the Oregon State Fredericks was mistakenlv re- leased after serving two-thirds of his sentence imposed in South ern Oregon lor armed robbery He was sentenced to IS years and served 10. Friday his was re turned to prison to complete at least three-fourths of his sen tence. It was also discovered that Warden Clarence Gladden sev eral months ago asked Attorney Genersl Robert Y. Thornton for an ooinioa regarding Oregon's time-off-for-sjood behsvior 1 a w and was told it provided for a one-fourth commutation oi sen tence, not one-third. The question srose over an in tepretation of the law which pro vides for a 10-day credit toward time off each month actually served. Under one interpretation, convicts were credited with 10 days out oi every 3U days, names lugnai "e uuuuix msmia arm lecture ana art Building at the uni sai . Whereas Warden Gladden's such artifacts as a polished antler j versity, at a cost of $550,000; and and Attorney General Thornton's lip which had been used for cut-: construction of a $1,800,000 agricul intepretatinn is that convicts may j ting; the base of a harpoon prong, lure and biological science build- reccive 10 days alter eacn 3U days served the latter meaning 10 days commutation out of 40, the former meaning 10 days out of 30. Long Applied So far as is known, the one- third system was long applied, at least until Warden Gladden took over three years ago. Glad - del has applied the law on one - the law on one - fourth basis; Deputy Warden Louis Barnes said Friday night, adding that the former peniten- tiary administration had placed an erroneous interpretation on fourth basis; Deputy Warden the law governing the commut- ing of sentence." In Frederick's case, it appeared that he was released by mistake after serving but two-thirds of his time, instead of the three-fourths as now required under the new ruling. It was not known why he was kcDt in Marion County jail for several months after the Attorney General's opinion was nan led down. mormon, conn ming nis re- itans was alrpndv ..eA , a cent opinion, said last night he manjmc sat"' could not say how his ruling would affect convicts already re leased betore serving three- nn I fourths of their sentence, pending lurtner legal siuny.
