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.

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-
