No Limit on
Tools for Bugs
By RON GEMMELL
The sky's the limit, boys, on
the kind of tools you may use
building your Soap Box
'Derby racer.
But remember, it is not the
number or type of tools that
counts its the way you use
them.
Some of the finest "bugs"
have been built with a mini
mum of hand tools. A good car
can be built with a hammer,
sifji, screwdriver, ' 'wreiich,
plane, brace and bit, chisel and
sandpaper. The rest is plan
ned, careful work by you.
If you have power tools and
know how to use them, that's
okeh, too. " All types of tools
are permissible under the offi
cial 1952 set of rules.
Your workmanship is what
counts and there will be
awards for the work you do
in addition to that chance at
the Salem championship and
the trip to Akron, Ohio, for a
try at that $5,000 college schol
arship. A lot of Salem folks are
still searching for a permanent
site for your big race, tenta
tively set for July 13, including
Harold Davis, city engineer. He
and his crew are surveying
numerous ( potential locations
and. reported to City Manager
J. L. Franzen on their findings.
It is the idea of many that a
permanent Derby location,
which subsequently can be de
veloped into a park site for
Salem area kids, should be pro
cured if possible. Several
places are under study to ascer
tain if they meet the official
specifications, which require a
runway between 800 and 1,000
feet.
Two Indicted
Oregon City W) Elmer Dor
sey Williams, 28, and Bonnie
Lee Kuhnhausen, 36, were in
dicted by the grand jury Wed
nesday on first-degree murder
charges.
The Indictments stem from
the fatal beating that Jalmar
Tarkei, 68, suffered - in 'the
course of a robbery In a subur
ban area southeast of Portland
last month. '

Close Ordered Back to
Prison by Parole Board
By RON GEMMELL
Ill
Portland meeting of the.ence at the Portland session of
state parole and probation
board, that commenced at 10
a.m. Thursday and didn't con
clude until nearly 2 p.m., Jewell
Chester Close, Oregon state pen
itentiary parolee who married
the warden's secretary without
sanction of the board, had his
parole revoked.
And, according to H. M. Ran-
dell, executive secretary of the
board, the reasons why Close's
parole was revoked have to do
with many more violations than
ms marriage to Anne M. Carty
shortly after his release from
prison on January 11.
Randall was not authorized to
disclose what those other viola
tions are, he stated in a telepho
nic interview from Portland
soon after the board's meeting
ended.
According to Randall, the of
ficial record reflects that Jew
ell's parole was revoked and he
will be returned to the peniten
tiary on the grounds of his "im
mediate and continued violation
of various parole rules contra
ry to specific instructions given
him by his parole supervisor.'
His marriage, consummated
after denial of permission, was
only one of his violations and not
the sole cause of the revocation
said Randall.
All the members of the board,
including Chairman James J
Richardson of Portland and
Members Harry V. Collins and
Charles H. Huggins were in at
tendance at the session.
Both Close and his bride were
in attendance at the session, ad
mission to which was denied to
newsmen and photographers.
Mrs. Close wasn't at her desk
in Warden Virgil O'Malley's of
fice as late as 11 a.m. Thursday,
despite the fact she is scheduled
for duty at 8 a.m. Too, she
hadn't been in her quarters on
the second floor of the prison
all night and all those contact
ed at the prison were unable
to say where she had been.
Harry V. Collins, member of
the state- parole board, early
Thursday advised that her pres

the board had not been request
ed as the hearing had to do with
her husband, Jewell C. Close,
paroled convict, only.
Close married Anne M. Carty,
29-year-old secretary to the
warden on January 29 18 days
after his release, January 11,
from state incarceration on a
forgery conviction from Mult
nomah county without the neces
sary permission from the parole
board. , -
She and Close were wed in
Kelso, Wash., and she entered
into the marriage contract de
spite the fact she had access
to prison records that reveal
Close has prior arrest records
on charges of larceny, child
molestation and indecent ex
posure that date back to 1935,
Mrs. Close, who has stated
that she was aware that they
were violating Close's paroje
agreement by marrying without
approval of the parole board,
spent most of Wednesday in the
seclusion of her barred dormi
tory room at the prison. She
came to the Oregon prison from
the California penal system, in
which she served 20 years and
is characterized by those who
know her as an extremely ef
ficient secretary.'
Close, presently employed by
a Portland service station, first
intended to remarry his former
wife upon his release from the
prison, but changed his mind
and married Anne Carty. His
Portland employer is Repre
sentative Graham Killam, Mult
nomah county republican, who
is. disturbed with the parole
board's attitude in the case.
By sending investigators to
the service station to interview
the manager relative to Close's
activities, Killam maintains the
parole board violated a confi
dence in that no one at the sta
tion knew that Close, whom he
characterizes as a model em
ploye, is an ex-convict.
Prison officials also state that
Close, who became acquainted
with Miss Carty while serving
as a trusty in the penitentiary
office, was a model prisoner.

Sale of Bonds
Here $141,089
State-wide purchases of de
tense bonds during January were
over three million dollars, which
reflects one of the highest sales
volumes in months.
A total of $3,026,525 was pur
chased in all series. Of this
amount 83 per cent were in Ser
ies bonds. Purchases in Mar
ion county amounted to $141,-
089 in all series.
"Aside from the increase in
E bond sales, the redemptions
throughout the country during
January show an encouraging
trend," Bruce Williams, county
defense bond chairman, stated.
Purchases of E bonds exceeded
redemptions by 21 million dol
lars.
"In addition to this," Williams
emphasized, "only 12 per cent of
matured E defense bonds, those
issued in January 1942, were
presented for payment. Since the
first E bonds began maturing in
May of last year, close to 75 per
cent of bond holders have elect
ed to hold on to their bonds."
Under the treasury's new ex
tension plan, defense bonds may
be held for another 10 years af
ter they mature. The interest
rate on the face' value of the
extended bonds is 2.5 per cent
for the first 7 years of the
extended maturity and 2.9 per
cent if held for the full 10 years
