The main ob jective of the new Intermediate penal institution to be built I north of Salem near St. Paul I will be rehabilitation of young i prisoners. Superintendent Paul j J. Squier told a sub-committee of the Joint Ways and Means j Committee here Tuesday.

Religious Training Planned Three months of the training program would be carried out in the Oregon Slate penitentiary here under seasoned guards and officials. Then the remaining three months of training would be carried out at the new in stitution. Squier, a retired federal prison official, said rehabilitation at the new correctional institution would go well beyond the mere academic teaching of inmates. "We will have medical re habilitation where physical de fects are corrected, as well as religious counseling, which often reaches a man in a manner that we cannot Sen. Belton announced that the sub-committee would travel to eastern Oregon March 1 and 2, to visit the Eastern Oregon State hospital at Pendleton and the Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis hospital at The Dalles. Later members plan to visit slate in stitutions in Portland and view the site of the new state mental hospital near Wilsonville. Letter Asks Holmes For Budget Estimate Salem. (U.R) Rep. Wayne Giesy, a Monroe Republican, said yesterday he had penned a second letter to Gov. Robert Holmes after failing to receive a reply to his first request for the governor's budget estimate.

Giesy had estimated the pro gram would cost S318-millinn and he asked Gov. Holmes to say whether that figure was too low or too nigh. Fire Sweeps Jaguar Factory in England Coventry.

Dial DI 3-3663 8" East Broadway, Eugene, Oregon Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY Hollywood U.P Jack Ben ny celebrates his 39th birthday again Thursday because stay- i."5 ing 39, be said today, "keeps me young." The comedi an who has won more con tinued success on radio and TV than any ether enter tainer actually Aline Mosbv will be 63 on Valentine's Day. But to his mil lions of fans and Benney him self he's still 39. "People should forget birth days and their age, reflected Benny as he sat in his Beverly Hills office on the eve of the occasion. "If it weren't for ob serving birthdays, you couldn't keep track of your age. It would be wonderful if a person could not. Some people feel old just because of those numbers that are pinned to him. Comedian Feels 39 "You don't look older to peo ple who see you all the time,'' he continued. "I really feel 39. I do the 39 gag so much on my show that I don't picture myself as much older." Benny first used the age gag in 1945 on radio when he an nounced he was 36. He was 37 for a couple of years and final ly moved to 39 where he stayed. Since then the age joke along with gags about his Maxwell car and his gold-filled vault has become a national legend. The gentle, amiable comedi an realized the importance of his 39 pose two years ago when he planned to turn 40 on his CBS-TV show. It was to be a national event, an hour program bringing together all the en tertainers who have worked with him. Newspaper Sways Planning But a Boston newspaper talked him out of it. "Someone sent me an editorial they printed," said Jack, parking his feet on top of his desk. "It begged me not to grow older. Their reasoning was that it has been a great help to a lot of people who now can figure that when they get to be 39 they won't get any older, either. And so they don't get older." This year Jack will be given his biggest birthday party In his life. He'll be feted by the top stars of show business Thursday night at a SlOO-a-plale dinner with proceeds going to the American Heart Fund.

Effect of Trade With Red China Discussed (Editor' note: In connec tion with the "Great Decisions . . . 1957" program, Marion D. Thomas, extension agricul t u r a 1 economist at Oregon State college, discusses the ef fect trade with the China mainland would have in the northwest.) By MARION D. THOMAS EXTENSION AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIST OREGON STATE COLLEGE Resumption of trade with China could have many diverse effects on Northwest markets. Ten years ago the United States shipped nearly $200,000, 000 worth of farm products to China. Among these were wheat, flour and other grain products; canned and dried milk, and some fruit and vegetable products from the Northwest. Last year, and for the iive preceding years, no farm pro- Baby Born in Plane Baffles Law Experts Vienna, Austria (U.RV The birth of a baby in an airplane over continental Europe had the international law experts in a stew today trying to figure out her nationality. Mrs. Fritzi Fangl, 25, gave birth to a girl in an Israeli plane over German territory Tuesday. Mrs. Fangl and her husband are Austrians. They live in Britain.. The plane was enroute from Amsterdam to Vienna. ' The Israel "El-Al" Airline said this may be the first case in air line history of the birth of a baby over continental Europe. Experts said the baby could claim Austrian or Israeli citizen ship because she was born on Israeli territory in the plane and only over German territory.

Our shipments of 10 years ago, although financed to a consider able extent by our foreign aid funds, do give some idea of the possible size of the Chinese market. Yet this market might become much larger if the Chinese are successful in their current efforts to increase in dustrial production, raising in comes. Even then, the old prob lem of earning dollars might remain until they produced something that we could buy to advantage. At one time, China offered walnuts and eggs in this coun try. That was very upsetting to markets here. Chinese hooked rugs were liked by many Amer ican homemakers, but cut into the sales of domestic rug manfac turers. No one knows what goods China might offer or want from us in the future, but it is quite apparent that any change in our policies toward China could bring many and varied changes in our markets. Cloud of Concern Trade with China might help clear away the cloud of concern that has been hanging over Northwest wheat producers in recent years. This cloud has al ready been partially lifted by in creased sales in other parts of the Orient, especially in Japan and India. At one time China took nearly 9,000,000 bushels of our wheat; part of this was in the form of flour milled in the Northwest. But would trade bring addi tional difficulties to poultry men, nut growers and others al ready hard pressed? That's among the questions which would have to be answered in any consideration of reopening trade relationships. Gladioli Bulbs bag of two dozen VA to variety gladioli bulbs.
