Eisenhower visits the Hoover Dam as Las Vegas, Nev., Sunday for another talk, then returns to Denver Sunday night.

Dam to Make (Continued from Page 1) The Forest Service, under this proposed plan, will assume res ponsibility for administration and future development of these areas as well as management for recreation within the forest boundary. Under the terms of the ten tative plan there will be a pub lie service area between the highway and parapet wall on the right abutment of Detroit dam, providing an excellent view of the reservoir, the dam and the lower canyon. An overlook is also proposed on the right abutment of Big Cliff dam, with a paving park ing area.

The plan of recreation im provement proposes use of the existing entrance road into the present Camp Mongold for a boat-launching ramp and con struction of a turnaround and parking facilities near the reser voir shoreline.

Harwood, lifer, who was sen tenced to 15 years in prison Friday for the slaying of Claude Clark Worley, 16, a fellow prisoner. Harwood Kept In Isolation Although some Oregon State penitentiary guards are of the belief that George Harwood, re turned there Friday after con- victim of the slaying of a fellow inmate, is in danger from other inmates, Deputy Warden Gene Halley said today that it is usual to hear those rumors. Harwood, the 60-year-old lifer who fatally stabbed youthful Claude Worley in tier 4 of block B Thursday afternoon, is back in the prison following a swift con viction of voluntary manslaugh ter. Halley said he is In solitary confinement, in the segregation sector of the penitentiary, and that there is little llkelyhood of an assault on him by inmates. .- w lift! lit." ' park board reveals that the area is actually about 21 acres. The accretion that has expand ed the area has occurred mainly in the area now spanned by the Center street and the Marion street bridges and the Southern Pacific bridge. The elevation of the added ac reage is practically the same as other parts of the area and can be beautified and used for park purposes except when flood stage of the river may cover it. The portion of the Wallace will bequeathing the property was dated May 31, 1951. Just how the proposed park development will be worked into the westside highway scheme hasn t yet been decided in de tail by the park board and city officials. Mark Astrup, chairman of the board, announces that the board will visit all city park areas on Saturday, June 28. The board has set its regular meeting dates for the third Thursday of each month, at 4 o'clock, In the city council cham bers. The meetings will be pub lic. "We want the meetings to be a sounding board where the ideas of anyone can be heard and considered," Chairman Astrup said. Langlie Denies (Continued from Paae 1) Before Governor Langlie an nounced his decision, the Wil son brothers' attorney indicated in Walla Walla they had ex hausted all legal angles. Their latest appeal to Federal Judge Sam Driver for a writ of ha beas corpus was rejected. Gov. Langlie issued a prepared statement on the case, saying: "The case of Turman and Utah Wilson's death sentence has been before me as governor for some time and I have given lt a great deal of prayerful thought and study. "The convictions were ob tained on evidence which the courts have held to be legally sufficient and I am thoroughly convinced that the legal pro cedures surrounding this case were both proper and in keep ing with fairness and legality throughout. "Since the conviction and im prisonment of these two men, certain affidavits and state ments have been submitted to this office for the purpose of establishing the existence of newly - discovered evidence tending to disprove the verdict of guilty. Every assertion made in the interest of establishing the Innocence of these two men has been thoroughly explored and exhaustively investigated but no evidence has been sub mitted to me that would indi cate in the slightest that the trial of these men was any thing but fair, nor is there any indication supportable by the slightest shred of evidence that innocent men are suffering. All Clues Run Down "Every substantial clue sub mitted to us that might in some way cast doubt upon these con victions has been explored and investigated, and no one thoroughly studying this case could come to any other con clusion but that these men, alone or with others, perpetrat ed this dastardly and revolting crime. "A thorough study of the evi dence, the records, the findings and the Investigations discloses nothing, in my opinion, that would Justify me in overruling the opinions of our superior and supreme courts. "Since it is the governor's power and duty to protect the innocent and not to change the laws of the state of Washing ton, 1 see no reason for execu tive intervention in this mat ter." New Charges Faced By Alleged Spy London UP) Britain filed four new charges of spying Sat urday against William Martin office radio operator accused of spying for Russia. Magistrate's court ordered Marshall held without bail. The prosecution said highly secret documents had been found on him and the government want ed him in custody until his trial. Marshall was arrested last Friday night accused of passing Information "useful to an ene my" to Pavel Kuznetsov, second secretary of the Soviet Embas sy, on "divers dates and at divers places." Three of the new charges said the tall, sallow-faced youth passed similar information to Kuznetsov on April 25 at King ston, May 19 at Wimbledon and June 13 the day of his arrest at Wandsworth, where he was picked up. All three places are London suburbs. 1 Murderer Arrives Albert William Karnes, confessed killer of Mrs. Susan Litchfield here on June 7, who arrived at the Oregon State penitentiary on an assault conviction from Wasco county Friday afternoon, is here pictured with his custodians upon arrival at the pen.
