Hatfield Asks Game Funds Be Restored Salem -l?D-Gov. Mark Hat field today asked the Legis lature to support the program of the Oregon Game Commis sion by restoring funds cut from the commission budget. No general fund appropria tions are involved. In a letter to Sen. Alfred Corbett (D-Portland) and Rep. Keith Skelton (D-Eugene),' co chairmen of the Ways and Means Committee, Hatfield said: "The sportsmen of this state feel, and I believe rightly so, that their support of the Game Commission by payment of hunting and fishing license fees entitles them to expect maximum return from their investment." A subcommittee of the Ways and Means group is holding hearings on the game commission budget. The budget proposed by the commission totals $9,251,956.

But, the oldest stairs, on which dates of origin have been definitely established, are stairs in Egypt which date from the second millineum, B. C. Puffing Toddler's Habit, Tantrums Worry To Mother Peoria. 111. - aPD - Larry Smith has the cigarette habit. As smokers go, Larry is fairly moderate. He only needs five cigarettes a day to keep him happy. But Larry is just two years old. His mother, Mrs. Law rence Smith, says she doesn't know what to do with her puffing toddler. "It's so bad now that if I or the baby sitter don't light his cigarette, he goes into a tantrum, screaming and crying and all that." she said. Mrs. Smith, a divorcee and waitress, said she plans to follow police advice to lake Larry to a doctor. But she's not sure how much, good it will do. Larry can neither light nor pronounce a cigarette -he calls them "mokes" but he knows what he wants and how to get it. Mrs. Smith, herself a non smoker, said Larry started smoking a month ago when a visitor left a lighted cig arette on an ashtray in the Smith home. Larry picked it up and began to puff. And he's been puffing ever since. Security Insurance & Realty An Agent Is Judged By The Companies He Keeps! We are proud of our insurance companies. We have se lected them with the utmost care.

Children Who Saw Father Slain By Cop Reunited With Mother Houston, Tex. - fUPD - Two small children who saw their father shot to death by a Washington State trooper and their baby sister die of pneu monia in California ' moun tains during a trans-contin ental jeep ride, were back in the custody of their mother today. To David Craig, 3, and his sister, Wanda, 5, it meant the end of a desolate journey with their father, John Lee Craig, who had won custody of the three children last Oct. 20 in a divorce case. Child Dies in Cabin Craig was shot to death in a gun battle the night of Jan. 23 with a state patrolman near Ocean City, Wash. Twenty-three days earlier, on New Year's Eve., nine-month-old Mary Craig had died of pneumonia in a cold cabin in the mountain wilderness 60 miles from Redding, Calif. Custody ' of David and Wanda was awarded late Tuesday by District Judge Sears McGee to Mrs. ' Eileen Craig, their mother. Mrs. Betty Dawson, a sister of the children's father, also had asked for their custody. Mrs. Dawson testified she went to Gray's Harbor, Wash., and brought David and Wanda back to Houston after their father was slain. She denied that her 26-year-old brother had quarreled with a motel owner over payment of a bill, or that the infant had died in California of neglect. The strange story of Craig's wanderings with his children in a jeep through the west and northwest came to light after Patrolman Howard Chapman shot him during a gunfight in a gravel pit. Chapman, investigating a motel owner's complaint that Craig had beaten him in an argument over a check, found Craig and the two children in a jeep a few miles away. The patrolman said Craig opened fire on him and the children, and he shot and killed Craig. Chapman was shot through the shoulder and David was wounded slightly. A diary found among the dead man's possessions re vealed that the baby had died Dec. 31 in a mountain cabin in California where their father had taken refuge from the cold. The baby's body was later found in a dynamite box buried under a pile of rocks at China Slide, Calif. 500 Pupils Seen for Phoenix as Result Of Population Boost (Continued from Page 1) Phoenix High school now has 200 pupils and Talent about 140. In a few years Phoenix, after reorganizing with Talent, would have 500 pupils from natural popula tion growth. The Medford- Phoenix reorganization pro posal leaves the problem of what to do with Talent, Bar ber said. Previously, Hoffbuhr had stated the Phoenix board is in favor of keeping its pres ent boundaries and regroup ing with another school dist rict or districts later. Under the present school district re organization law this would be possible, it was stated.

Group Spokesman Paul Beddoe, group spokes man, said the delegation rep resented "35 or so leading cit izens." Through friends rep resented by the citizens, the delegation believed the major ity of citizens in the Phoenix district favor regrouping with Medford. However, Beddoe admitted that the delegation did not represent directly a majority. Following statements by a number of Evans Valley and Rogue River people, Barber said the reason the committee adjourned its Feb. 10 meet ing without listening to all Evans Valley arguments is that they had all been pre sented before. He urged the committee to do administrative work im mediately needed' to send in a tentative plan for district re organization as required by the state board of education in two weeks. He reminded those present that the com mittee is already six months late with its tentative plan. Prison Tunnel Escape Thwarted Walla Walla - (WD - State penitentiary authorities here are holding in maximum se curity six convicts involved in an escape plot discovered Monday night. Prison officers found a tunnel over 100 feet extending from the prison powerhouse to within four feet of the institution's north wall. Seven prisoners had been held in connection with the escape attempt, but one was returned to his regular cell because he could not be iden tified with the tunneling proj ect. The plot was uncovered when an officer conducting a routine check of the power house failed to locate three prisoners he had admitted to the building previously.

Negro Boy To Enter School for Pages Monday Washington - (UPD - Negro Jimmy Johnson Jr., whose dream of attending the Con gressional Page School ap peared shattered, will enter the school Monday after all. At the same time, the 14-year-old Chicago boy will take over his duties as house messenger for five congressmen-one Republican and four Democrats.
