MALONEY United Press Correspondent Alcatraz Prison (U.R) On "The Rock" today murderers, kidnapers, bank robbers and postal bandits have" gone in for art, music and study. "There has been a subtle change," said Warden Paul J. Madigan. "Oar men still are the headaches of all other federal prisons. Tensions still remain. But there has been a change." Madigan, who came to Alca traz when it was established in 1934, meant a change from those days when the grim prison 'in San Francisco Bay housed such men as Alvin (Old Creepy) Karpis, Scarface Al Capone, Basil (The Owl) Banghart and Machinegun Kelly. "The purpose of this prison has remained the same," Madi gan said. "It was established as the only federal maximum secur ity prison in the United States and is a vital link in the federal prison system. Our inmates are those who have caused trouble or have failed to adjust else where. They have been brought here because they interferred with rehabilitation of a major ity elsewhere." Mass Visit By Newsmen Madigan was host to the first mass visit by newspaper report ers and photographers, movie and TV cameramen to the leg endary "Rock." Maximum security still pre vails. All visitors nobody ex cluded pass through the "snitch box" at the prison regis tration gate after the mile and a half trip from " San Francisco across the salt water. The "snitch box" detects any metal on a per son electronically. Visitors re move coins, rosaries, fingernail files, pens, pencils and other such harmless metal objects at the desk, then reclaim them after passing the test. Double steel fences, double As We Live v It's Unfair To Ask Help From Widow Moiher-In-Law When a person takes a stand on a subject and lives up to it, that is fair to all even if it may mean hard ships for some. (Q) I am mar ried to a young man who is completing his work as intern in a hospital. I am a train ed nurse and worked until D. Hurlock last summer. Our baby was born this fall so I cannot go on with my nursing. As my husband earns only a small amount, it has meant using our savings to live on and we haven't very much. My family is large and can't help me. My husband is an only child. His mother is a widow and leaches school. She disapproved of our getting married before her son had finished medical school as she said she couldn't afford to support us. She paid for my husband's medical school educa tion" but has not given him any money except gifts since he graduated. We have to count every penny now and I think my mother-in-law should help us as she has only one child. I resent her attitude and it has made me bitter toward her which upsets my husband. Do you think I am being unfair?" Mrs. B. W. (A) Yes, I do think you are being unfair, to your mother-in-law, to your husband, to your self, and to your child. This re sentment is bound to cause fric tion in the family and will de prive your husband and your child of the relationships they should have with your mother-in-law. You knew, when you married, your mother-in-law would not support another family. She doubtless spent all her savings O and deprived herself of many necessities to send her son to medical school. Now, as she is no longer young, she must save for her retirement and for any emergency she may have. ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. If you and your husband were penniless, or if some emergency came up which you could not meet alone, I am surehe would come to your rescue, even if she said she would not support you. Under such circumstances, your husband should pay her back as soon as he begins to earn money. In the meantime, you will have to make two ends meet as best as you can unless you can get night nursing and pay someone to be with your baby when your husband is on duty. Elizabeth Hurlock will an swer your personal questions. Address her in care of this news paper. (Copyright 195S, General Features Corp.) OEA Plans Request For School Support Portland U.R) iThe Oregon Education association wound up its 53rd annual four-day conven tion here Saturday with the statement that the 1957 Oregon legislature will be asked to guarantee state support of 50 per cent of the operational costs of public elementary and second ary schools. Also tabbed for presentation to the legislation session is a proposal that would allow local school districts to provide insur ance and other fringe benefits, a proposal that, a minimum salary of S3400 be established for the beginning teacher in the state without a degree, S3700 to a teacher with a bachelor degree and $4000 minimum for those holding a master degree, also was scheduled to be .brought be fore the 1957 session. The association also went on record as opposing any change at the present time in the for mula for distribution of state support money. Normal individuals have been found to have an increased acu it, in their senses of taste for sugar before meals, and a de creased acuity for the same sweetness after meals. steel doors, cold-proof steel cells and bullet-proof glass still house the 281 inmates, the prison's cur rent population. But guards on the catwalks and main galleries of the cell blocks no longer are armed as they patrol the waxed and polished floors. Only guards in the gun galleries, protected by heavy screen, and in the eight gun towers are armed with car bines and .38 caliber revolvers. Slumbering Air Prevails An air of slumbering quiet prevails during the day, for most of the prisoners are down in the industrial shops working on fur niture, brushes, brooms, cloth ing, gloves, and other articles sold through Federal Prison In dustries, Inc., to other federal agencies like the Army, Navy or the Atomic Energy Commission. Madigan greeted the reporters and photographers in his blue carpeted office. He sat under a large picture of President Eisen hower and many remarked on the close resemblance between him and the Chief Executive. Madigan is a stocky, thinning haired man in his early 60's or late 50's. He has freckles, a firm chin and a firm voice. Silence System Dropped "Dropping the silence system back in 1937," he said, "was the first major change. And that did a lot of good. There used to be a lot of tension because of that, particularly at meals because it is a natural thing for men to talk while eating. We try now to be as reasonable as we can. "But don't forget that there is no other prison that has maxi mum custody. We have no trustees here. Each man is guard ed. We don't have too many privileges, and, of course, the area of movement is small. That's probably why the men don't like it." "Don't forget," said Madigan, "these men earned their way in here, and it's up to them 'to earn their way out by abiding by our rules and putting up with the few privileges we have.' Mobilgas Drivers Off on Annual Run Los Angeles U.R) Drivers of 21 new stock cars got off to a fast start early today in the first leg of the 1500-mile annual Mobilgas economy run to Colo rado Springs. Colo. Veteran race driving figure J. C. Agajanian and Mobilgas woman consultant Joa Manning started the entrants at two-minute intervals. The field, repre senting the nation's latest model cars, will stop over tonight at Las Vegas and continue tomor row toward Colorado Springs. The drivers also will have stopovers at Salt Lake City and Grand Junction, Colo., before crossing the finish line. MOON SPILLS OVER Sea Bright.. N. J. (U.R) Councilman Niels Jacobson ex pressed his faith today in an Indian legend which says when the moon's crescent opens up wards it is a giant bowl which splashes over when filled. Jacob son said the moon faced upwards Thursday night and two heavy snow-storms have hit this area. it E D A I Sarah Byers CORDIAL Beginning MARCH 20 Through APRIL 1st JACKSONVILLE ASSEMBLY OF GOD Evangelists Fred and Sarah Byers Services Each Night 7:30 Except Monday and Saturdays INVITATION IS EXTENDED TO YOU! W. Fred Byers D. TURNBULL, Pastor High Supports on Milk Dangerous, Ellender Believes Washington (U.R) Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.), said today high price supports on milk without production con trols could "drag the whole farm program down." Ellender, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, told newsmen he hopes to com promise a fight over milk price supports when the Senate re sumes its long debate over the farm bill today. Measure Set Aside Prospects were poor for fi nal Senate action on the much-' amended bill today, for the Senate temporarily set it aside for a thick pile of minor, unop posed bills. The vote on passage of the farm measure was ex pected to come late Tuesday. Administration forces sought to knock out a section of the bill raising the minimum price support on milk used in manu factured foods from 75 to 80 per cent and changing the base period for figuring parity. Ellender said he voted "very reluctantly" for the milk pro vision in committee. Will Drag Program Down He said the government's loss on milk and other perishable foods whose production cannot be controlled is triple the loss on basic crops. Such basic pro ducts as wheat, corn, cotton, rice and tobacco can be stored for long periods and their acre age can be controlled. "If we make milk too at tractive without production con trols, it will drag down the whole farm program," he said. But Sen. Hubert H. Humph rey, a Democrat from dairying Minnesota, predicted the milk provision would stay in the bill. Dulles To Ask More Flexible Policy Woman's Body Found Hidden in Closet San Marino, Calif. -(U.R) The bathrobe clad body, of Mrs. Dorothy Heller, 43, wife of oil millionaire Alfonse H. Heller, was found yesterday in a cup board where she apparently had hidden after an argument with her husband. Officers said Mrs Heller prob ably died of a heart attack. Her body was found by a relative who noticed the door of the cup board in an upstairs sewing room was partly open. Heller told authorities that his 105-pound wife made a habit of concealing herself in closets and cupboards of their large home after domestic quarrels. He said she disappeared Saturday night after an argument. She married Heller in 1948 and leaves four children, three by a previous marriage. McKay to Organize Campaign Next Weekend Salem (U.R) Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay inform ed friends that he will be in Salem next weekend to begin organization of his campaign for Republican nomination for U.S. senator and that he plans to resign "around May 1." . The word came from McKay's Washington office following a White House announcement that the former governor of Oregon would leave the cabinet before the May 18 Oregon primary. If a Red captive risks listening, will you risk a dollar to talk? The Communists fear Radio Free Europe. They spend vast sums trying to jam its broad casts. Yet millions of captive people take a chance every day to hear the truth it brings. These people count on you to keep Radio Free Europe on the air. Show them you will not forget. Each dollar you contribute sponsors a Minute of Truth. Truth is precious behind the Iron Curtain. Radio Free Eu rope speaks the truth freely.

Dulles has toured 10 Asian na tions and conferred with US. diplomats throughout the Far East over ways of combating Russia's influence in this new cold war front. Reliable sources said Dulles has recognized that the United States must be prepared to give economic assistance to neutralist and uncommitted Asian nations which are receiving aid from or trading with the Communist bloc. It was understood he wants to reduce red tape, speed delivery of economic aid once the United States has offered it, and mini mize the conditions and the "strings" attached to it. Qualified sources said he was not alarmed by the Soviet "new look" economic offensive in Asia and did not want the Unit ed States to try to match it by similar tactics. However, he was impressed by the good will Rus sia has won with offers of long term, low interest industrial de velopment loans. Scranton, Pa. flj.ft For mer President Harry S. Truman .has charged that the adminis tration's foreign policy in the Middle East crisis "seems to be designed to infuriate" both the Arab Nations and Israel and to invite "inter-meddling" by Russia.
