Two Reformatory
Inmates Die From
Duplicator Fluid
Salida, Colo. (LTD Two re
formatory inmates died Fri
day night and 34 others who
drank a duplicator fluid con
taining deadly wood alcohol
were hospitalized Saturday.
Doctors at two hospitals
where the reformatory in
mates were taken from Buena
Vista said wood alcohol, a
central nervous system poison
with no known specific anti
dote, has a delayed effect.
They said, the inmates would
not be out of danger for 72
hours.
Carlton Corley, 20, of Hous
eton, Tex., died at the Rio
Grande hospital here at 11
p.m. Conrad Johnson, 20, Col
orado Springs died soon after.
Gilbert Vigil, 23, of Denver,
had been in critical condition,
but early yesterday was im
proving. The Rio Grande hos
pital said his condition was
"fair". '
Not Sure
Warden Wayne K. Patter
son said at Buena Vista, 26
miles north of Salida, that he
was not sure all the hospital
ized young men had drunk the
duplicator fluid." He sent
everyone he thought might
have done so either to Salida
or the Colorado Penitentiary
hospital at Canon City. The
first inmates were taken viol
ently ill about 2 pan. Friday.
"We can't figure out why
they drank it, how they got
hold of it, or how much they
drank," warden Patterson
said. "We only hope that we
got everybody who had any
of it to the hospital."
"I'm sure this was no sort
of demonstration or attempt
to cause trouble," Patterson
said. "They just wanted to
drink something, though you'd
think they would show more
intelligence.
"We've sure had a lot of
bad luck here," the warden
said. "I hope this is the last
of it."
Last year during a short
lived riot at the reformatory
a guard shot an inmate dead.
The inmate was clubbing an
unarmed guard.

Hussein Would
Die for Jordan
Amman, Jordan (DPD
King Hussein of Jordan,
whose cousin, King Faisal,
was slain in the Iraqi revolt,
said Thursday he is ready to
die to defend his country
against "Communism and
atheism" if need be.
Hussein has been under
heavy attack by the propa
ganda organs of the United
Arab Republic. Cairo and Da
mascus radios have lebeled
him a tool of "Western im
perialism" and have urged his
overthrow and assassination.
In a direct reply to the
barrage of U.A.R. propa'
ganda, Hussein told loyal
tribal leaders the country has
"offered lessons in national
ism to those who brag about
nationalism."
He also told the chieftains,
gathered at his Amman palace
to renew pledges of allegiance
to him at a time when his
throne appeared under heav
ier attack than ever, that
"some neighboring states" had
fallen prey to Communism
and atheism.
Observers said it was ob
vious Hussein was referring
to the U.A.R. and its presi
dent, Gamal Abdel Nasser, al
though he did not name
names.

Explosions Rock
Rio De Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro (LTD A
spectacular series of explo
sions, possibly set off by sabo
teurs, ripped through an army
ammunition dump 10 miles
from the heart of Rio de
Janeiro for more than 10
hours 1 Saturday, smashing
homes and stores and forcing
thousands "to flee.
More than 12 hours after
the first blast occurred short
ly after midnight, an official
army spokesman said that
there were no known deaths.
Col. Albino Silva said there
were many reports of injuries
to firemen, soldiers and civil
ians, but none was serious.
Nearly all the injured suffer
ed cuts and bruises inflicted
by flying glass and other
debris, Silva said.
At the height of the series
of explosions, 155 milimeter
artillery shells went off as
though they were strings of
firecrackers. Flames shot into
the air, forcing a fire company
to flee, and leave a truck be
hind consumed by the fire.
The explosions at suburban

that saboteurs might have ig
nited the ammunition to re
duce the potency of the Bra

ho State Penitentiary's Eagle
Island dairy farm near Boise
who changed clothes with a
woman missionary to escape
detection was apprehended by
a state policeman near Ad
ams, Ore., yesterday after
noon after a two-hour chase.
A lone patrolman, Melvin
P. Hewitt, captured the arm
ed convict, James Finas Aik
ens, 30, when the man tried
to sneak past a police car on
a side road off Highway 11
about 20 miles north of Pen

with a woman and tied her
up and left her in the car he

King Suspends
Constitution
Amman, Jordan flJPD
King Hussein Saturday "su
spended" the constitution unit
ing Jordan in a federation
with Iraq.
The 22-year-old monarch
said the revolution in Bagh
dad had rendered Iraq "in
capable of performing its
share of responsibilites" in
the union.
Therefore, Hussein said in
a royal decree, the constitu
tion joining the two countries
cannot "be applied or execut
ed' from the practical point of
view." Jordan regards it, he
said, as having been "suspend
ed." The "Arab Union" of Jor
dan and Iraq, which came into
effect barely two months be
fore the Baghdad revolt, al

the new Iraqi republic.
