jective of the new Intermediate

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.
I Squier, named superintendent
of the new institution so he
could help plan its construction,
proposed an operational budget
of $833,000 for the next bein
nium. He told the subcommittee
headed by Sen. Howard Belton
of Canby that the budget was
not broken down at this time
because this type of penal in
stitution Is new to Oregon.
He said he planned to work
with the State Budget Depart
ment and the director of finance
in breaking down the budget
before any personnel was hired.
William C. Ryan, secretary of
the Board of Control, said work
ing plans for the first two
phases of the institution were
about ready and bids fori con
struction would be asked be
tween March 15 and April 1.
Construction of the first two
units is expected to be c o m
pleted in a year and a half. Some
300 prisoners will be admitted
upon completion of the first two
units. Squier said. The intermed
iate institution will eventually
have a capacity of 600 prisoners.

Wsdnaidiy, February 13, 1937
Squier said he had planned
out a schedule of hiring per
sonnel, with six persons to be
hired next July and two more
next January to help work out
preliminary planning. Then 107
would be engaged July 1, 1958,
to undergo a six-months train
ing programs before the new in
stitution is ready to receive pris
oners.
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 contended the legisla
tive committees are unable to
get to work because they don't
know how much
ernor wants to implement his
program.
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.

Hollywood U.P Jack Ben

again Thursday because stay-

today, "keeps
me young."

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.
Dulles Plans Quick
Trip To Australia
Washington U.R) Secretary

planning a quick trip to Aus

Administration officials said
today that Dulles will be in Can
berra, Australia, for the SEATO
conference March 11, 12 and 13.
Dulles will not make a large-
scale tour of Asia this year as
he did in 1956 when he visited
10 nations in conjunction with
his trip to the SEATO meeting
in Pakistan. This time he will
hurry back to Washington to be
on hand for talks with a large
number of foreign visitors com
ing to the United States in the
spring and to prepare for the
March 21-24 meeting at Ber
muda between President Eisen
hower and British Prime Minis

Effect of Trade With
Red China Discussed

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.

ducts have gone from this coun
try to the mainland of China
at least not directly.
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.
