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.
Possibly the oldest stair
cases existing are the ancient
granite steps up the sacred
mountain of Tai Shan in
China. But, the oldest stairs,
on which dates of origin have
been definitely established,
are stairs in Egypt which date

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seven prisoners had been
held in connection with the

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.
Jimmy officially signed on
as a house messenger late
Tuesday after weeks of con
troversy. He planned to regis
ter as a sophomore at the
school Thursday.
Jimmy, who says he wants
to study to become a gynecol
ogist, came to Washington
last month under the impres
sion that he had been appoint
ed as a house page under the
sponsorship of Rep. Barrat
O'Hara (D-Ill.). Officials be
lieved he would have been the
first Negro page in the House
or Senate.
But Jimmy's hopes were
dashed. He was told on arriv
ing that his appointment was
the result of a patronage mix
up and that he did not have
a job.
