As Reason
For Escape
SALEM (IB Warden Clarence
T. Gladden has been around pris
ons, including federal ones, for
(many a year, but at the Oregon
State prison he has come across
a new reason for a prisoner's es

degree murder of his wife, told
the warden he had left the farm
annex to avoid the readily-avail
able tobacco on which he blamed
his asthma.
Said Gladden: I have never
heard a story like that before.
Bob told Gladden he had spent
his week of freedom roaming
around in the hills in the Silver
Creek falls state park area. He
said the outing had cured his as
thma and he thinks he has brok
en the smoking habit.
Gladden said Bob was picked
up by prison guards some five
miles from the park where he
phoned the prison from a farm
house. Gladden said:
"He didn't have anything to eat.
I noticed he was a little gaunt.
Bob wore his prison clothes all
the time he was away.
Bob was serving a life sentence
after being convicted of killing
nil wife in 1937. He told pris
on officials by telephone that it
was too lonesome on the 'out
i side."

Of primary imnortante in such

the realization tnd.adjustment to
one's limitation, he said, pointing
out tltft much emotional malad
justment comes from an individu-
91s resentment of his limitations.
Students just graduating, said
Dr. Stuart LeRoy Anderson, head
of the Berkeley, Calif., theo
logical school, like all others,
must discover the boundaries of
their native endowments and
work within .these boundaries.
Thus, there should be no thought
in terms of success or failure but
of the best usage of the individu
al's possibilities. Democracy, he
said, is this belief in "extraordin
ary possibilities" in the ordinary
people.
INDEX OF VALUE .
What they have done in the
university, Dr. Anderson advised
the graduating .class, is not an
index of values," since thtir
real worth will be determined in
the life ahead of them and the
manner in which they work with
in their possibilities.
The colorful 78th commence
ment ceremonies opened Sunday
afternoon with the academic pro
cessional across the campus to
Hayward Field, where some 8,000
friends and relatives watched the
conferring of degrees on 1,159
candidates.
Dr. o. Meredith Wilson, uni-
rsity president, officiated at
the conferring of degrees and
then briefly addressed the class,
saying to them "our only concern
now is not that you know too
little, but that you might dare
too little."
OPEN AIR SERVICES
Commencement Day opened
Sunday with a service in the open
air auditorium of the music
school, in which more than 100
graduating Army and Air Force
ROTC cadets received commis
sions as second lieutenants.

WASHINGTON Wl The Hoo-,
ver Commission Monday urged
Congress and the President to
crack down on what it called
mismanagement and wasteful use
of the government's vast real es
tate holdings.
In the latest of a series of re
ports, the commission said the
government owns 472 million
acres of land one fourth of the
nation's entire area and con
trols federal structures with
space 1,250 times that of New
York City's Empire State Build
ing.
NO LATE INVENTORY
Yet the government has no up-
to-date inventory of its holdings
and exhibits little familiarity
with "modern real property man
agement" in their use, the com
mission said.
As a result, agencies frequent
ly buy new property when they!
Crews to Complete
Airport Paint Job
City crews are expected to
compete the painting of guide
stripes and numerals at Eugene's
Mahlon Sweet Airport this week
as a part of their regular main
tenance operations there.
It will take 'an estimated 300
.gallons of white paint to stripe
the mile-long runways and to
complete the taxiway holding
points. ,
Lee Kics, city traffic engineer,
said Monday that the painting
will meet Civil Aeronautics Au
thority specifications. This is the
first time in five years that the
lines have been painted, according
to Kies.
Real Estate Crackdown
Urged By Commission
Snow Removal
Slow on Pass
Progress was slow Monday for
highway department snow re
moval crews working on the Mc-
Kenzie pass road, according to
spokesmen at the state offices
in Eugene.
Although there were no new
reports during the weekend, one
official indicated that deep snow
banks near the summit of - the
pass were holding back comple
tion of the opening operations.
A spokesman at the Bend of
fice of the Highway department
told the Register-Guard Monday
that crews working from the east
are within a half-mile of the sum
mit. But they are in' about 22
feet of well-packed snow.
Theft Reported
Theft of $118 from the Sea
horse Tavern in Springfield was
reported to Springfield police
Monday.
According to police reports
someone apparently entered the
tavern early Sunday morning,
using a key. The money was
taken from a cash box In the
tavern.
Police said the thief re-locked
the door when he left.
could occupy ground or buildings
already owned by the govern
ment, said the 12-member com
mission headed by former Presi
dent Herbert Hoover.
The report asked President Ei
senhower to make a larger grant
of authority to the General Ser
vices Administration, and to
force compliance with orders of
that government-wide housekeep
ing agency, which it said are now
sometimes ignored by the . 27
property-holding agencies.
BUDGET BUREAU
The commission also asked
Congress to strengthen the Bu
reau of the Budget as a coordi
nating agency.
The commission sidestepped
some property management is
sues, which, when raised by the
original commission six years
ago, set off political fireworks.
The commission recommended
that a single agency be given
sole responsibility for the man
agement of forest lands and
grazing lands, then as now
divided between the Interior De
partment's Bureau of Land Man
agement and Agriculture Depart
ment s Forest Service.
Monday's report recommended
only that Eisenhower create
committee to study the federal
rural lands and "make rccom
mendations for their improved
management, and that a uniform
policy then be developed for all
agencies involved.
TASK FORCE
Similarly, the commission de
voted two pages to reciting the
reasons as'develope by its task
force headed by John R, Lotz,
New York engineering executive
why the government should
write off or sell to private in
dustry about 100 of the 288 in
dustrial plants held in reserve
for a war emergency. The 100
plants, the task force said, are
"either inactive or in poor phy
sical condition.
But the report wound up by
merely recommending that Con
gress authorize the Office of De
fense Mobilization to establish
general policies governing the
retention and disposition of in
dustrial properties for mobiliza
tion purposes."
