Employing Persons
With Handicaps
Said Good Business
; f
The program to encourage
employment of physically handi
capped people is not an appeal
for charity or sympathy but is
an effort to show industry that
it is good business to tap this
great reservoir of useful labor,
it was emphasized yesterday by
Victor E. Newman, interviewer
with the state employment serv
ice here, in a brief address be
fore the Medford Rotary club.
Newman spoke at a. luncheon
meeting at the Jackson hotel.
Emphasis is placed on ability
Lrather than disability of thous
ands of physically handicapped
persons in the U.S., the speaker
said. The nation-wide drive to
provide useful employment to
this important segment of the
country's population depends
upon wide-spread publicity, to
find jobs and make employers
aware of qualifications of those
who have become handicapped
by accidents, disease or war
service.
Film showing successful em
ployment of physically handi
capped people in business and
industry was shown. Clifford J.
Hanson, Rotary program chair
man, introduced the speaker.

Thomson Receives
8 Years in Prison
Newport, Ore. (U.R) Rich
ard Thomson, 27, convicted of
assault with a dangerous weap
on, was sentenced to eight years
in the state penitentiary yester
day afternoon for an attack on
his business partner in Septem
ber. 1953.
xi woo j. uuuisuii 5 sccuna Trial.
Earlier he was sentenced to 20
years for assault with intent to
kill, but the Oregon Supreme
Court sent the case back for re
trial after Thomson had served
nearly a year of the sentence.
Thomson was accused of hit
ting James Meuler with a piece
of pipe in a car at Otter Crest.
Judge Fred McHenry said he
had taken' into account the time
Thomson had already served in
passing sentence. The trial jury
had reduced the charge against
him to assault with a dangerous
weapon.
Thomson was calm when sen
tence was passed and thanked
the court for their time and trouble.

tarv cells
Madigan said neither guards
nor prisoners suffered any phy
sical injuries. He said it was a
"minor incident."
He did not disclose the names
of the prisoners, but - said no
prison "celebrities" were in
volved. '
The malcontents, he said, had
already been denied opportuni
ties to work in the prison be
cause of their , "bad behavior and
continued resistance to author
ity."
Unique Place
"Alcatraz holds a unique place
in the federal prison system in
that the inmates confined are
generally those who have failed
to adjust and respond to the
many advantages available in
other institutions", he said.
"On occasion, an attempt is
made to carry on their obstreper
ous behavior upon transfer to
this Institution."
Madigan assumed the Job of
running the nation's tightest
maximum security prison last
Jan. 18.
The last reported incident at
the prison was a short-lived
"kitchen riot" in 1953. In May,
1946, a bloody three-day mutiny
resulted in the deaths of five
guards and inmates and injuries
to 13.
