Stratton has paved the way for release of the Pro hibition Era gangster within the next two years. However, hopes were less bright for another notorious Slateville Penitentiary inmate, Nathan Leopold, a three-time loser in parole pleas. ' Begins New Application Leopold, 42, today began writ ing another application to the Illinois Prison and Parole board seeking a reopening of his par ole application at the board's September meeting.

T. Brannock, officer in charge of the local VA office, stated today. Brannock stated -that this is urged on all veterans by the VA, and pointed out that the 24 hour advance notice is essential for the time to be most advan- I tageously used for the benefit ! of veterans. Often veterans must come long distances to VA hospitals or regional clinics, Brannock pointed out, and transportation must often be arranged. Appontment time at VA out patient clinics and regional of fices L- at a premium because of crowded schedules for doctors and other medical personnel, Brannock said. Montana Convicts Gain Concession To Conclude Riot Deer. Lodge, Mont. (IB The Montana Board of Prison com missioners promised restless prison convicts today to convert an onion garden in the yard into a playground. This was the one definite con cession the 600 prisoners won after a riot they staged Tuesday. The disturbance ended early Wednesday but the last of the inmates was not locked in his cell until Wednesday afternoon. Extensive Damage The rioters caused extensive damage to cell block 8, the focal poirt of the riot, and to the administration building. Before ending the riot, the prisoners sent a list of griev ances to state officials. Indica tions were some of them were justified. Three out of state wardens made a study of the prison ear lier this year. In a report, they criticized the prison's rehabili tation facilities. They said sal aries paid guards and other pris on officers were too low. The wardens were Joseph E. Ragan of Illinois, G. Norton Jameson of South Dakota, and Harry C. Tinsley of Colorado. Unaware of Report Montana Attorney General Forrest H. Anderson said he was unaware of the existence of their report until Wednesday. "Quite a few of the prison ers demands, and especially some of the . more important ones, were pointed up by the wardens in this report as weak points in the Montana prison system," Anderson said. He promised his office he will make an "earnest and extensive" investigation of the prisoners' grievances. ence at Joliet Wednesday after Stratton had rejected his appeal for executive clemency. But I shall continue to apply for parole or mercy to my dy ing breath on my deathbed." Stratton, on recommendation of the Pardon and Parole board, Wednesday commuted to three years Touhy's 199-year sentence for a daring 1942 escape from Stateville. Sentence Left Intact Stratton's action left Touhy's 99-year sentence for kidnapping swindler John (Jake The Bar ber) Factor in 1934 intact. Touhy's attorney, Robert B. Johnstone, contacted, at Mani- towish Waters, Wis., where he is vacationing, criticized the Pardon and Parole board for not throwing out the prisoner's kid nap sentence at the same time. The attorney said he would take steps to bring Touhy's case to court as quickly as possible, and, added that if state courts refuse to void the conviction, "maybe the U. S. Supreme Court might do something about it." McNary Drawdown Caused by Demands Pendleton (IB Exceptional heavy power demands will make necessary a drawdown of the McNary dam reservoir pool to an elevation of 335 feet by Fri day night. Col. Myron E. Page, Jr., dis trict Army engineer at Walla Walla, said the drawdown will mean a drop of five feet below the normal pool level and three feet below the minimum eleva tion of July 30. Recovery of the water in the McNary pool will be slow and probably will require two weeks to restore to normal level, Col. Page said. , He warned owners of float ing docks and landings in the reservoir that their structures may be grounded until the wa ter level is back to normal. Laughs of the Day . . . .jp. inn ! III.

Donald Campbell Fails To Set New Hydroplane Mark Canandaigua, N. Y. (IB Brit ish speedboat ace Donald Camp bell took "the worst beating of my boating career" today as he failed in an attempt to pilot his jet-powered hydroplane Blue bird to a new world water rec ord. Campbell averaged 173 miles an hour in two one-mile runs over Canandaigua lake, which appeared ideally suited for the trial. The son of the -late Sir Mal colm Campbell said, however, that the lake's current and swells "gave me a lot of trouble . . . the worst beating of my boating career." x , Perturbed by Conditions He was particularly perturbed by the water condition at the south end of the lake, the finish area for his initial run. Ha was clocked for that .-run in 158.6 miles an hour. n the return run, the Blue bird was timed in 187.5 miles an hour. Campbell at first indicated he would make another attempt later today but upon consultation with his chief engineer decided to wait until Friday. The 35-year-old speed king, only man ever to travel faster than 200 miles an hour in a boat, set his 225.63 mile an hour rec ord last September on Lake Con- iston in England. Higher Tariffs Asked By Lead, Zinc Group Washington (IB Domestic producers today demanded high er tariffs to prevent foreign im ports of lead and zinc from flooding" the American market. Charles E. Schwab, Kellog, Idaho, chairman of the Emer gency Lead-Zinc Committee, in, a statement to the House Ways and Means Committer objected t to an administration bill to im-' pose a sliding scale tariff on im ports. He said it "falls ar short" of providing a minimum domes tic price for the two metals at which the industry can regain its strength. Schwab said the U.S. indus try wants a three to five-cent per pound tariff on imports when the market falls below 17 cents per pound for lead and 14V4 cents per pound for zinc. The bill being heard by the commit tee would impose a sliding scale tariff of from one to three cents.
