Board Trims
Slate Prison
Guard Plea
Board Members Feel
$100,000 Will Cover
Needs for Biennium
Br JAMES D. OLSON
Despite revelations of Uck
of supervision in several divi
sions of the state penitentiary
due to lack of guards, the state
emergency board trimmed
Warden Clarence Gladden's
request of 143,92 to an even
5106,000 to cover employment
of additional prison guards.
The cut came after Harry
Dorman, director of the de
partment of finance and ad
ministration told board mem
bers that new guards were' put
on a two weeks' training
schedule and only 12 could be
trained at one time.
Inasmuch as it would take
some time to reach the goal of
23 new guards, board mem
bers felt that $100,000 would
be sufficient to cover the cost
for the present biennium.
' Table Bequest
But the board tabled a re
quest for a transfer of funds
from the prison capital out
lay fund to the penitentiary
industries fund.
This transfer was requested
by the state board of control
as a means of "straightening
out the bookkeeping" at the
prison.
The request for the transfer
and three other requests from
the board of control came in
late, and were listed on a sup
plemental budget which did
not please the emergency
board members.
Late Requests Banned
"Hereafter no matters will
be considered unless it is sub
mitted in time to be placed on
the regular agenda," President
of the Senate Eugene E. Marsh
and chairman of the board
said. "Members of this board
are entitled to study these re
quests before they come to the
meeting." ...

Indian Rights to
Hunt Upheld
Boise, Idaho W) The Idaho
Supreme Court ruled Friday
that a hundred year old treaty
gave Nez Perce Indians the
right to hunt game in the Nez
Perce National Forest any time
they please.
The decision affirmed a dis
trict court opinion issued in
freeing David Arthur, a Nez
Perce, of a charge of shooting
deer in the forest on Sept 26,
1951.
The court held that the In
dians were told by Isaac I.

Oregon at the Council of Walla
Walla Valley in 1855:
"You will be allowed to go
to the usual fishing places and
fish in common with the
