(API Stat priaoo and parole official! agreed ' today with the recommendations of the federal prison Industries reor ganization administration, which urged Oregon to take steps toward the rehabilitation of inmates ox tne state penitentiary. George Alexander, who became the prison warden yesterday, ana vv. u. Oooslin. parole board member, agreed something must be done to keep the Inmates busy. Twenty per cent of the 1000 convicts are Idle. Many Repeaters. .Seventy-two per cent of the In mates have had previous convictions. The federal agency's recommendations were Intended to prevent convicts from returning to prison after thetr release. Briefly, the recommendations In eluded the transfer of parole power to a three-man commission Inde pendent of the governor, establish ment of work camps for "honor" prisoners, development of prison In dustries, erection of an Institution for women prisoners, and expansion aS dormitory facilities. The report was submitted to the governor's special commission to in vestigate parole problems, the com mission to report to the legislature next month. However, Alexander and Oosslln pointed out some difficulties which would have to be overcome before the recommendations could be put to to effect. Protests Been The federal recommendation that 31 state institutions be supplied with penitentiary products would result in protests by private business which pow tells to Institutions. Construction of new facilities would eott money, Oosslln pointed out, and the next legislature doesn't know where It will get money for relief parole and prison officials nave been observing the operation of Washington state's paiole system. A board, which works full time, fixes the minimum sentences of all pris oners. "That system." Alexander said, would be more fair. In Oregon, we now have the situation where a judge In one county will give a man 15 years while In another county man will get eight months for the same crime." The 11 women Inmates were given ocno sympathy by the federal board. They are locked up constantly and have no outside recreational facili ties, state officials can't see why the women need a separate insti tution, but they think that the women can be placed In separate quarters at the girls' Industrial school. I Might Be Profitable The state officials point out that It might be profitable for the state to spend some money for new facili ties and better parole services. If the expenditure will result in the rehabilitation of criminals. During the next blenniura. It will cost 700,000 to run the prison. If good percentage of released In mates could be turned Into the paths of righteousness, the cost would be much lower. Of the total number of Inmates, 98 per cent have no previous con viction. Twenty-two per cent were convicted once before, 18.8 per oent twice, 11.8 per cent three times, 7-8 per cent four times, and 8.8 per cent five times. Twenty-seven pris oners have been convicted from 11 to 20 timet. Harry Bridges (above), heucl of the Lonenhnremrn's I'nlort, and West Coast '10 director, along with others drew a sharp rebuke from John I. Lewis at the Pittsburgh convention for what Lewis claimed were moves to delay adoption of the organizations proposed constitution that were con trary to piirllamentary procedure. (Above) Bridges speaking at conven tion. (AP Photo.) Republicans cast 38.9 per cent of the vote. Two years later In the senatorial cop test they balloted 40.0 per cent, and In the 1938 gubernato rial race they increased to 57.S per cent. The Democrats had 38.B per cent when they elected Charles H. Martin governor In 1034, Independent candi dates polling 32.0 per cent. In 1930 Bourbons got 48.3 per cent, and lact month dropped to 43.5 per cent. The legislative Interim commis sion on state and local revenues hinted this week It would not rec ommend new taxes for the 1939 legislature, because the commission feels that the people won't stand for more taxes. It believes that any new taxes passed by the legislature would be referred to the 1940 election. The commission probably will rec ommend that counties obtain reve nue by being more strict In the collection of the t40.000.000 In de linquent taxes. If the counties could collect 10 per cent of this figure, their financial problems would be solved. 1 Weather Northern California: Fair north end cloudy south portion tonight and Saturday with rain extreme south portion Saturday; local morning fogs: little change In temporature; gentle asterly wind off coast, Increasing south of San Francisco.

HOFFMANN PORTLAND, Ore!, Dec. 16. (API Coordination of department of In terior forests, with particular atten tion to Indian forests and Oregon and California railroad grant lands, was explained today by Lee Muck. Interior department director of for estry. In a speech prepared for de livery at the Western Forestry and Conservation association meeting here. Muck ald economtc management of 16,000.000 acres of Indian forest lands, operated under a sustained yield system, had been "more or leas successfully solved and the Indians . . , ere receiving the flow of a full measure of income from the regu lated cutting and marketing of their forest resources." . 2,600,000 Acres The department's major problem, Muck said, was administrative or ganization, of the revested and re conveyed federal forest grant lands, comprising 3.000,000 acres located In 18 western Oregon counties. " "'The character of the management of the O. and C. area Is of vital concern to the counties of western OreRon." Muck said. "The department recoanlzea Its responsibility to so plan Its management of the prop erty that administration Is not only economical, but that such manage ment will promote the flow of a perpetual stream of returns Into the county treasuries." The law requires management of Oregon and California grant lands within 2fl percent of the forest In come mandatory, Muck said. This, coupled with "peculiar problems af fecting the management of the area," make the venture "unique in the annals of American public forestry." he added. More than 6000 separate tracts are included In the region, and the land Is heavily mortgaged for back taxes. Lands Listed Muck listed as lands under the newly instituted director of forestry: Unreserved public domain, princi pally protection forest land Inclusive of Alaska, under Jurisdiction of the general land office, 03.000,000 acres. Revested Oregon and California grant and Coos Bay wagon road grant lands, under sustained yield management by general land office, 3,600,000 acres. Forest lands under sustained-yield management by Indian service, 16, 000.000 acres. Forest land conserved and protect ed for scenic, recreational and water shed purposes by the national park service, 6,200,000 acres. f Police Chief Quits LA GRANDE. Dec. 16. (AP)..

Proof that some voters dont know what they're voting for was shown In the final tabulation of the vote on the three gambling Initiatives. Voters In Curry and Harney coun ties voted for the two bills to pro hibit gambling, and also balloted In favor of the measure to legalise gambling. The Republican party In Oregon during the past four years has about doubled Its vote, while the Democrats reached their peak two years ago.
