burg, she said.
Bar Terrorized
"They tried to get us to drink
wine and beer with them but
we only pretened to be drink

Aubrey, chewing tobacco, said
"I feel ok ... he never made
me afraid."

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.

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

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

reservoir that their structures
may be grounded until the wa
ter level is back to normal.

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 ,

south end of the lake, the finish
area for his initial run. Ha was
clocked for that .-run in 158.6

Campbell at first indicated he
would make another attempt
later today but upon consultation
with his chief engineer decided
to wait until Friday.

Higher Tariffs Asked
By Lead, Zinc Group
Washington (IB Domestic
producers today demanded high

Charles E. Schwab, Kellog,
Idaho, chairman of the Emer

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.
