r O Escaped San Quentin Prisoner Captured in Hood River Country iiood River :l? A man who escaped from a San Quentin prison camp in California in 1945 and lived a dozen years on poached deer and vegetables he raised in an all but deserted fafy.i area was captured by Sheriff Rupert Gillmouthe Wed nesday because he raced away from a minor car accident eight days ago. Howard B. Frost, 61, admitted to Hood River County Sheriff Gillmouthe that he was the man ho escaped from Hackamore Forestry Camp in Modoc county ct. 13, 1945. He had been sent up to San Quentin June 19. 1937, from Monterey county for incest and rape. Frost, going under the name of Ray Rosers, somehow per suaded the Chicago owner of an isolated southeast Hood River O county farm to let him live in an old farm house. He shot deer and lived on venison three meals a day, with a smattering of veg etables from his home-grown .garden and other items he bought Uh what money he earned in small farm jobs in the county. Gillmouthe said that as Ray Rogers, the recluse was known vo the sheriff's office and he had long wanted a '"legal chance" to get his fingerprints. Eiht days ago Frost was in a minor car mishap and lied the scene, the other driver getting his number. After spending the interim in "Pendleton and around," Frost got back to Hood River Wednes day and Sheriff Gillmouthe ar rested him. A check of finger prints quickly established that he was the fugitive from San Quentin. Gillmouthe said Frost had a boar on the farm that helped him keep other hunters from the area where he poached his deer. When Frost would shoot a deer, he would dress it down on the spot and the boar would eat the entrails and offal. When the boar would hear shooting in the area, said the sheriff, it would run to the scene, and if it wasn't Forst, it would chase the hunter away.

LOOK your LOVELIEST for the Holidays 1 Virginias BIG Y BEAUTY SALON Jim Funk, Lillian Lewis, Virginia Welch, Owner & Operator PHONE SP 2-9380 New Toys ; Designed By Women BY GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York HP Playthings for small fry represent a realistic payoff for many women. For it turns out that the world of toys increasingly is woman's world. . . women have had a hand in the design, manufacture, or the sale of a goodly chunk of the Sl!2 billion dollars worth of tops which will be sold this year. The toy manufacturers of the U.S.A. said the figure will set a record. It listed several dozen women in top jobs in the field as de sigers, president or other ex ecutive in some of the largest companies. Busy Ones These included M. B. Alex ander, boss of a New York firm which specializes in TJolls fit for a "10 best dressed" list; Mrs. Hazelle H. Rollins, partner with her husband in a Kansas City company making marionettes: Mrs. Jennie Graves, president of a Medford, Mass. firm specializ ing in dolls and costumes: Mrs. W. W. Rushton, president of an Atlanta company which turns out 10,000 stuffed animals a day; and Mary Bauer, vice president and designer for Ideal Toy, world's largest doll manufactur er. "But it is in the field of in vention where the ladies are be ginning to shine," said Alice Nichols. Miss Nichols and her partner, Felicia Parker, started out three years ago selling a new world game called "Bali" and have expanded into a new role acting as agents for toy and game inventors generally. Watch The Parents "About a third of the ideas which come in here are from wo men," said Miss Nichols. "One of the things most top inventors man or woman have in com mon is parenthood. A mother trying to think of a new way to keep junior from underfoot pro duces a new idea in toys." Many Nichols-Parker clients wish merely to sell their idea to an established manufacturer and collect royalties. Others go into business for themselves.

Plenfy of Volunteers Are Ready for Travel in Space By JAMES BARR United Press Correspondent Washington (IP! The United States may not have any satel lites aloft yet but it has plenty of volunteers ready to climb aboard them. The Pentagon and Naval Re search Laboratory headquar ters of satellite project Vanguard said today they have received dozens of letters and phone calls from would-be space explorers. Even Premier Nikolai Bul ganin said in Moscow he has re ceived a letter from two Ameri can girls who want to be space pioneers, even if they have to ride a Red moon. A Vanguard spokesman said a man calling himself "a crazy Irishman"' telephones every other day to offer his services as a space traveler. "He says he wants to get up in a satellite so he can shoot down the Russian Sputniks," the spokesman said. "I keep telling him the satel lite is only 20 inches wide and he keeps insisting he is very small and he'll go on a diet." A 13-year-old Georgia boy apparently somewhat more hefty wrote to the Pentagon he is ready to hop aboard a satellite if it is made larger. A South Carolina airman wrote simply to Secretary of Defense Neil H. McElroy: "I'd like to be the first man to em- TURKEY RISE Minneapolis (IP) Less than half a million turkeys were pro duced in Minnesota in 1929.

The Vanguard spokesman said none of the people who has con tacted the Naval Research Lab oratory about becoming space men has asked for pay of any kind. "They just want to go as quickly as possible," he said. To curb fast drivers of horses. New York (in 1652) had a law which compelled drivers to -walk beside their vehicles. HELP US!
