safe in the Piedmont Food store
here was blasted open early Sat
urday by yeggs who escaped
with about $500.
It was the 89th actual or at
tempted safe burglary in the
Portland area this year and po
lice said it was the first time
in several years that nitroglycian
had been used to open a safe
here. Detective Jack Sizer said
the yeggs obviously were ex
perts at "blowing" safes.

Bender, who operates the but
chQ: shop in the store. His safe

PAROLED SEX MURDERER
I keep constantly noting in
the papers stories of children
who are injured or murdered
by a sex mani
ac. Because of
my medical in
terests, I al
ways read a
little further
until I find the
to-be - expect
ed statement to
the effect that
the man was
Dr Aivam a well - known
sex-murderer who had been pa
roled from a prison or mental
hospital a week or two before.
For instance, I was reading re
cently of a man who murdered
two boys and tried to burn their
bodies under a pile of brush.
As I expected, I read that in
1949 he had assaulted a boy
but had been released into the
custody of his parents. In 1951,
after trying to murder another
boy, he had been given 10 years.
Why only 10 years? That is an
interesting question. He was re
leased after six years. Again,
why was he released as soon as
possible and coddled so affec
tionately? As was to be expect
ed, in a month he was back at
his old game of murdering boys.
Why could they not have
learned that some men are born
to be criminally insane, and will
probably always be terribly dan
gerous to society dangerous,
until perhaps, they are too old
and feeble to misbehave? Why
cannot the men on parole boards
learn some day what any old
warden or any old prison-inmate
could teach them, and this is
to recognize often on sight the
type of life-long criminal who
never earned an honest dollar
and never will? When let out,
he has to go back to robbing
and burglarizing and killing
that's the only work he knows.
I'll never forget my amuse
ment one day, when as I sat in
a Mexican courtroom with my
friend the judge, a man was
brought in for having stolen an
overcoat. When the judge asked
him what his occupation was,
he replied, "A thief, sir!" He had
always been a thief, and he
would always have to be a thief.
At the age of 40, it was too late
for him to try to learn any other
occupation. He knew it, and the
judge knew it. But the law, being
what it is, and the man's having
stolen, on this occasion, some
thing of little value, he was sent
in for only 60 days.
If we, in civilization, could
only think for a minute not of
punishment "to fit the crime,"
but of protecting ourselves and
our loved ones and our citizens
we would build a big colony
on an island somewhere, where
petty thieves, some burglars,
most pick-pockets, many alco
holics and "dope peddlers," and
thousands of weak people who
haven't the strength of character
to live in a world full of design
ing persons, -could be sent for
much of their life, and taught
to earn their living at some sim
ple manufacturing job.
On the island, without temp
tations in their way, most of
the people could behave well;
there would be no use in their
stealing anything because there
would be no "fence" no one
to accept the stolen , goods and
to realize money on them. There
would be no money of the
ordinary type to steal. There
would be no alcohol or drugs
to buy.
Anyone who persisted in mak
ing a nuisance of himself would
be sent on to another colony
where the privileges would be
fewer, and the discipline would
be more strict. On the island
there would be no idea of punish
ing anyone, and the people
would be made comfortable. A
man and wife could live to
gether. The people would just
be protected from their own
weaknesses. When so protected,
most of them would be good
citizens.
Low River Wafer
Forces Power Halt
A near-record high grain crop
has been harvested by farmers
in Turkey this year. Wheat pro
duction is estimated at 275 mil
lion bushels.
Portland (IP) Low water in
the Columbia river will force
the Bonneville Power adminis
tration to shut off 358,000 kilo
watts of "interruptible" power
for the rest of the winter sea
son, Administrator Dr. William
A. Pearl said Friday.
The shut off at midnight Sat
urday, Nov. 30, will affect 13
of BPA's 18 big industrial cus
tomeis. Dr. Pearl said.
Two aluminum producers, Kai
ser and Reynolds Metals, have
arranged to "borrow" water
from Hungry Horse reservoir in
Montana. A Kaiser spokesman
said the "block" of provisional
power from Hungry Horse would
last for five days after BPA
shuts off the interruptible pow
er. He said the cut could result
in a force and production at the
Kaiser plant in Spokane, Wash.
Dr. Pearl said, however, that
the federal system would be
able to meet all its "firm," or
year-around power commitment.
At no time since Bonneville was
established, he said, has there
been a cutting off of firm pow
er. He said interruptible power
could not be restored until the
"heavy and region-wide" rains
occur in the Pacific Northwest.
Daily demand for water in the
United tSates is estimated at 200
billion gallons. The U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture says de
mand may double during the
next 25 years.
DOGS LIVE LONGER
Boston (IP) The Animal Res
cue League of Boston reported
that the average life expectancy
of a dog has risen from nine
years in i932 to 12 years today.
The increase is attributed to
better care, better nutrition and
advances in veterinary medicine.
CHRISTMAS CARDS
Boston (IPl Americani will
use about 2,400,000,000 greeting
cards in saying "Merry Christ
mas" this year, according to Wy
man S. Randall, a greeting card
company official (Rust Craft).
He estimated the retail value
of these cards at 260 million dollars.
