Prison Cons
(Continued from Page 1)
While the Army fought the
Sherman Field battle, tricky
Missouri valley weather posed
new problems on 700 miles of
the flooding river.
What worried the flood fight
ers was the question: How much
will it rain? And where?
Rain Menace
All the experts would say was
that a chance of heavy rain ex
ists. But they couldn't tell yet
whether It would hit the Missou
ri basin, especially the overload
ed area from St, Joseph, Mo., to
Kansas City.
Even if it rained a full inch
In the Kaw Kansas basin, thev
said, it would raise the Missouri
at Kansas City only about a foot.
That would still be well be
low the level the protecting
dikes were built to stand.
Republican Women to Meet
All interested republican women
and those of no party affiliation
are invited to tea from 8 to 5
o'clock at the home of Mrs. Jack
Scott in West Salem Friday,

as Mrs. H. D. Peterson, Mrs,
George T. Gerlinger and others
Groups of women from several

part in the discussions.

Cellblocks form the outer wall
of the prison. Rioting, which had
been confined to one-half of the
building, swept into the other
half, and prisoners moved on the
administration building from
two sides.
Brooks issued "shoot to kill"
orders to the badly out-numbered
guards and state police al
ready on the scene.
Armed With Cleavers
"We'll stack them up In rows
if they come past there," said
Brooks, pointing to doors about
150 feet away.
The convicts, armed with meat
cleavers, huge carving knives
and other weapons taken from
the main kitchen, would have
had the easiest avenue of escape
if they had reached the adminis
tration building.
Armed with meat cleavers,
huge carving knives and other
weapons seized in the prison
kitchens, the inmates carved a
path of destruction through five
cellblocks, freeing additional
prisoners as they went.
Dangerous mental inmates
were freed as the rioters moved
through half of the cellblocks
which form the outer wall of the
prison.
Guards and state police at ma
chine gun posts atop the build
ings kept the prisoners from
breaking into the administration
building from where escape
wuold be easy.
Three guards were injured in
their escape from the rioters,

Hungry Horde A Smorgasbord supper held at Victor Point
school house Friday night was attended by more than 350
residents of the valley. Proceeds of the smorgasbord will be

Prominent as an observer
nearby will be Jack Hayes, state
civil defense director with head
quarters in Salem. Hayes came
down here last week as special
representative of Gov. McKay
to observe personally the first
publicly-viewed A-bomb explos
ion in the continental limits of
the United States.
Officers and men participat
ing in the test shot have quar
ters in the Desert Rock tent
camp, which was built only a
few months ago by the 369th
engineer regiment. The engi
neer outfit was activated in Sa
lem In 1946 and called to duty
in Octobed, 1950.
This atomic test, which at
tracted radio and magazine men
from all over the nation, will
be named after the camp the
Salem outfit helped build, "Des
sert Rock IV."
The blast, which will be the
27th known A-bomb test by the
United States will be made
somewhere on the 250 square
miles of desert flat land known
as Yucca Flat over the hill from
Camp Dessert Rock. Yucca Flat
Is completely surrounded by
good sized hills and mountains
and thus offers an ideal testing
site.
The Willamette valley offi
cers and men participating in
the Tuesday test will learn first
hand, but from a "safe distance,"
how troops should be disposed
under the threat of an atomic
attack.
All possible safety precautions
have been taken for all partici
pating troops, Gen. Harry P.
Storke, Desert Rock Camp com
mander, told me.
Truman Warns !
"This is a consideration over
nd above the drastic effect a
steel shutdown would have on
our total defense effort."
Challenges Congress
Truman repeated what he had
said in a message April 9 that
he ordered "temporary opera
tion" of the steel mills by the
government "with the outmost
reluctance; that the idea of gov
ernment operation of the steel
mills was thoroughly distasteful
to me; and that I wanted to sec
it ended as soon as possible."
The president went on then to
challenge congress to come up
with a better way to deal with
the situation created by the steel
wage dispute if it does not like
what he has done.
