Bartleff Talks
On Northwest
Declaring that the whole
basis of our national economy
Is tied up with natural resources
and the labor of men. Jack
Bartlett, of the state aeronau
tics department, told members
of the Salem Klwanis club
Tuesday noon that the north
west should busy itscld In pre
paring to provide employment
for the thousands of people who
are arriving from the east each
month.
If the newcomers are not pro
vldcd with employment, then
they must be cared for out of
public taxation, he said. In
this connection Bartlett spoke
of the waste of forest products
the lack of soil conservation and
failure to develop properly the
mineral wealth of the state.
Bartlett, in pointing out that
the world is dependent upon the
thin layer of topsoll for its ex
istence, said the lands of the
northwest had been drained of
its fertility to such an extent
that much of the wheat produc
ed could not be utilized for flour
because of the low protein con
tent.

For Release
Chauncey Guymon, confined
to the Oregon state penitentiary
November 24, 1931, from Lane
county on a life sentence for
murder, but whose sentence was
commuted to 25 years by the
then Gov. Charles A. Sprague
in August, 1941, has filed habeas
corpus proceedings in circuit
court here against George Alex
ander, penitentiary warden, on
the grounds that the warden re
fuses to grant him "good time"
credits which, he claims, would
have entitled him to release
January 1 of this year.
He says that the warden arbi
trarily and "in alleged abuse of
his discretion," has determined
the petitioner's release date
from prison is March "28. 1952.
He declares the warden arbi
trarily refuses to certify to peti
tioner's Industry and general
reformation and to recommend
deduction of good time credits
of 10 days a month from his
25-year sentence.
The complaint shows that
after the then Governor Sprague
had granted the commutation
of sentence to 25 years the pa
role board, 14 days later, grant
ed Guymon s release from pri
son on parole. But this appar
ently was short-lived as the
complaint goes on to say that
he was ordered back into prison
by the board on November 27
of the same year and was again
placed In confinement January
23, 1942. It does not state the
reason for revocation of the pa
role.
However, he avers, that since
his return to the prison his good
industry and general reforma
tion have been such as to en
title him to the good time cre
dits he demands. He declares his
record shows he has faithfully
