Prison Situation Still
Volatile, Unander Says
Lebanon State Treasurer
Sig Unander, speaking at a
chamber dinner here Monday
night described the present
situation at the state prison in
Salem as "volatile" and out
lined measures now being acti
vated to correct the set-up.
Unander is a member of the
state board of control which
iupervises state institutions.
Before the dismissal of War
den Virgil O'Malley, the speak
er pointed out that three war
dens, provided by the Ameri
can Wardens' association, had
made their inspection on re
quest of the board of control to
determine th situation at the
prison.
A plan is now being consid
ered and will be put into effect
when the results of the two-day
prison survey are analyzed,
Unander said, and added that
the situation was "more seri
ous than we had anticipated."
He told of the hiring of Clar
ence Gladden, a retired U.S.

prison warden to effect im
provements. . ..
The state treasurer's opinion
placed much blame for the
trouble at the institution on the
dual control vested In the war
den and prison superintendent.
The main difficulty lay, he laid,
not at the top but more among
the employes. !
Stress Rehabilitation
The maximum in rehabilita
tion of prisoners remains up
permost, he asserted.
Turn-over in guards is high.
Unander pointed out, in spite
of the fact that Oregon pays
for this service the highest sal
aries of any western state ex
cept California.
Two experienced federal pri
son men are helping the new
warden, one being in charge of
mass treatment and the other
devoting his time to Individ,
uals.
A chain of command set-up
is being substituted for the old
dual control, recently abolished
by the legislature, the control
board member said, and study
is being given to a 1951 legis
lative act enabling women pri
soners to be sent to other states.
Much of Unander's talk con
cerned the proposed intermedi
ate institution which is to be
Lbuilt in Marlon county for more
naraenea youms ai wooaDurn
and the young men in the state
penitentiary. He said that Stt
per cent of those now in the
state prison are under 21.
Also on the chamber program
was the presentation of an
award of merit to . Cascades

work in employing the handi
capped. The citation was one of

'HE LOOKS WONDERFUL'
"He looks wonderful," were
F. Schnur when she and her husband (above), of San
Francisco, first looked at an AF Wirephoto of their son, ,
Paul Schnur, Jr., who was among the first Americans re-
leased by the communists at Panmunjom. His father, a'
former west coast labor leader said, "He looks well rice
fed, but still a little thin." The picture at which the
: couple are looking was made by Associated Press photog
rapher Frank Noel, , himself communist prisoner, and '
passed by both UN and communist cr.sors, (AP Wlre-

Musical Satire
Being Offered
- Gilbert and Sullivan's mu
sical satire of the early 19th
century British royal navy,
HMS Pinafore, will be present
ed by the Salem high school
choir and orchestra, May 6 and
6. ., .
The snobbishness of Britain's
society is ridiculously por
trayed throughout the operetta.
A particular amount of snob
bery is represented in the per
son of Sir Joseph Porter, ruler
of the Queen's navy. The role
of Sir Porter will be played by
Junior Dave Louthan, who
visits Pinafore to call on Jo
sephine (Marca Lee Bryant),
soprano, the captain's daughter.
but meets with difficulty. Both
he and the captain (Senior Roy
Maltby) are puzzled with Jo
sephine's reactions. - r
Others in the cast include
Roger Weaver as Ralph Rack
straw, a lowly sailor; Mauryne
Nichols, Pete VanHorn, Beth
Proebstal, Glenn Halt and Bob
Prall.

Trial Begins
Albany District Attorney
Courtney Johns and Defense
Attorney Mark Weatherford in
terrogated and cross-examined
witnesses Wednesday and drew
forth ' detailed descriptions of
how Lot Hughes Gllmore1 al
legedly met his death. , 1
Death came to Gllmore in the
squalor of a hobo jungle at the
eastern outskirts of Albany
Feb. 10. Charged with the mur
der is John Bob Sturgill. Both
Gllmore and Sturgill were ha
bitues of the "jungles" at the
time Gllmore died. i-
Weatherford is obviously de
termined in his case for the de
fense to build up Sturgill's case
with the theory that Gllmore's
fatal injuries were due alone
to accident. The state is at
tempting to establish that Stur
gill beat Gilmore to death.
Among those testifying Wed
nesday were State Police Offl
cer Robert Rissman, who went
to the scene in the jungle when
the death was reported, Dr.
Arne S. Jensen, who testified
as to the nature of the wounds
on Gilmore's head; Wayne Lee
Hawkins, fellow-occupant of
the cabin in the jungle where
Gilmore died and Chief of Po
lice Ray Maddy. .
