Arsenal Tower
To Be Built At
Stale Prison
Warden Gladden Tells
Board New Plan Will
Remove 'Powder Keg'
By JAMES D. OLSON
Members of the stale board of
control Tuesday approved a plan
of Warden Clarence T. Gladden to
build an arsenal tower outside the
walls of the state penitentiary and
thus remove the explosive situation
of having the prison arsenal locat
ed within the administration build
ing, as at present.
The new tower, estimated, to
cost $20,000, will be built directly
in front of the administration
building, in the center of the road
way leading from State street
through the prison guards to the
prison. Guards stationed in the
tower will have visual control of
the entire prison area.
Situation Explosive
Warden Gladden told the board
that the present situation was "ex
plosive" because with the arsenal
in the lobby ot the administration
building, visitors going to visit
prisoners pass by it and trusties
going to work on "outside jobs"
likewise pass it almost daily.
Prison officials have long con
sidered this strip in the adminis
tration building lobby a "powder
keg setup," Gladden said, since if
prisoners working outside could
suddenly seize control of the build
ing, and they, not prison officials,
control the aiyenal.

Eruption Kills

Thousands of frightened Javanese
fled their homes Tuesday in the
wake of an eruption of the vol-
cano Merapi. The first blowoff
in the heart of one of the world s
most densely populated areas
killed 25 persons and injured 66
others.
The 9,950-foot volcano. 20 miles
northeast of the revolutionary In
donesian capital of Jogjakarta,
has been acting up since last
March. The first serious eruption
occurred Monday, sending volcan
ic ash as far as Magelang, 40
miles north of Jogjakarta.
Officials said 2,000 persons had
been moved out of the immediate
area and that thousands of others
were leaving their homes. The
recorded toll from Merapi's last
major eruption, in 1930, was 7.000
dead but some authorities put it
as high as 30.000.
