Washington State Penitentiary ended

July after authorities agreed to a
Bine-point "treaty" to Improve con
ditions. It was an outcome unprece
dented In recent prison history. '
By B. J. McFARLAND
United Press Correspondent
Olympia, Wash. (U.R) The
man who signed a "treaty" with
convicts to end the recent riot
at the state prison in Walla
Walla said today tie did so to
prevent the "blood poisoning of
hate" from spreading through
the whole penitentiary.
"I know there are many. In
cluding wardens and other
prison administrators, who may
question the method I used for
ending the recent riot," said Dr.
Thomas Harris, director of state
institutions.
"But," he said, "I found the
answer to handling the situa
tion in 'The Bible'."
"The Bible" referred to Is a
book by Richard McGee, di
rector of corrections for the state
of California. It is entitled a
"Manual of Correctional Stand
ards." McGee and the American
Prison Association's penal com
mittee gathered and compiled
the information in the manual.
"I knew when I set foot in
side the prison at Walla Walla
during the riot that some of the
standards recommended by the
association weren't being met
m our prison," Harris said.
Some Merits
"Therefore, I knew the min
ute I saw the demands made by
the rebellious convicts that
there was no doubt they had
some merit."
Dr. Harris, who took over the
state institutions program June
20, was making his first visit
to the prison when he rushed to
the rioO scene. It also was the
first prison riot he has handled.
He is a psychiatrist by profes
sion. "When I saw the hate behind
their demands, I knew some
thing had to be done quickly to
avoid wholesale destruction and
possible death to the hostages
they held," he said.
"As a doctor, I diagnosed the
situation as having the same ele
ments as an infection in a medi
cal case. My objective was to
tone down the hate and avoid
spreading of that hate through
out the prison.
"I think I did that through the
negotiations with leaders, of the
rebellion.
"I signed the demands, but I
also qualified every - point of
agreement, pointing out that
any concessions would have to
be allowed under the law. As
for promising no reprisals, I told
the inmates they would be sub
ject to the law but it was my
personal opinion that considera
tion should be given in view of
the fact they did not tear the
place apart and, for. the most
part, conducted an orderly re
volt. "Signing of the agreement
ended prisoner control. The
next step was to get tough ring
leaders out of the prison. That
we have done by placing 18 of
them in the Yakima county jail
for eventual removal to a mental
institution at Medical Lake,
Wash.
"We can control them there
by placing them in individual
maximum security cells. They
won't have 1600 other prisoners
backing them up if they make
trouble and the tension is being
eased at the prison. I also' hope
to treat them for possible mental
problems.
"I know there are those who
will yell 'sell out." But that isn't
true. The 'treaty,' if that's what
it is being called, seemed to be
the best method for handling
this specific disturbance. In my
mind it worked. .
"But then, there are those
who think we should have gone
in with guns.
Companion's Ankle
Saves Workman's Life
.Vancouver, Wash. (U.R)
A 38-year-old Vancouver man to
day credited his life to the fact
that he was able to grab a com
panion's ankle as the sides of a
14-foot ditch caved in and bur
ied him under two feet of sand.
Harry Foster and W. M. Man
zares, 49, were working on sew
er pipes here yesterday when
the cave-in occurred and sand
and dirt poured into the four
foot wide hole.
Manzares managed to jump
in time but Foster, who was
apparently working in a crouch
ing position, was unable to leap
high enough. But he managed to
grab Manzares' ankle. Other
