SALEM. Dec: 1 p Sott-apoken.
youngish George Alexander, who looks
several years younger than his 84
years, wants to carry on In the tradi
tion of the late James W. Lewis
when he becomes warden of the state
penitentiary two weeks from today.
Alexander, a heavy-set man with
graying hair and who wears gold
rimmed glasses, wants to be strict
and fair, traits that caused convicts
to call Lewis "Square Deal Jim."
Lone. Experience
The new warden, with 23 years of
law enforcement experience behind
him. said today he would keep the
present prison staff. Including Acting
Warden E. 0. Halley, who will be
Alexander's deputy.
The only thing that worries Alex
ander la whether his 10-year-old
d.-.ughter will like living In the war
den's colonial house on the prison
grounds. He Is afraid It might affect
her adversely.
He Is pleasant to talk to, but be
hind his exterior Is a sternness tem
pered by sympathy. Alexander be
lieves In trying to rehabilitate crim
inals, but adds that most criminals
are beyond redemption when they
enter prison walls.
For Capital Punishment
' "1 was raised to believe In an eye
'for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,"
he said. "For this reason. I believe
strongly In capital punishment.
"I don't believe In coddling prlson
ers. and I have no smypathy for or
ganization which do any coddling.
Some organizations send representa
tives to call on prisoners they don't
even know. I don't like that and the
convicts don't like It either."
The new Job will not be so strange
to Alexander, alnoe h nm in
dally contact with most of the prison
tan. ne aiso knows many of the
prisoners, having helped to send some
of them to prison.
Alexander's fondness for the late
warden dates back 1A venr.
