Newspaper Page TextW YoaDHBg Mem To IBe Vanguard off Diminniates ait CorrectionaD HnsinMnon By DICK HUMPHREY UPI Correspondent , Salem (DPD On Tuesday, -May 26; 10 young men will be transferred from prison and from . jails to Oregon's brand new Intermediate Cor rectional Institution near here. They will be the .vanguard of 71 first offenders already 'signed up to inaugurate the $3,250,000 plant, designed for - rehabilitation. The big question is: Will It do the job? While the turquoise-colored . buildings set in green, orchard-covered hills will be operational May 26, there still will be much to do. The initial capacity will be 300 inmates whereas final plans call for 600 inmates and an extensive vocational program. But the Legislature killed a $919,000 budget re quest for this program.. Expansion will be up to fu ture legislatures. But even before a ribbon is cut in public ceremonies May 21-24, there is con troversy. ' Pearson Is Criiie Senate .President Walter Pearson (D-Portland) who also is chairman of the State Emergency Board, charged in a Board of Control meeting Thursday that the new institu tion was a "magnificent mon strosity of a jail." Pearson wanted the board to stop short, re-examine the picture, and provide at least a 64-cell wing for women pris oners now housed at the State Penitentiary. Pearson took the view that without the appropriation for vocational education, the in stitution was "just a glorifed jail." He said further expan- Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- ""TM SHOCKED," declared the dean of a Connecticut seat of J-higher learning, "to hear that your mother is taking in washing to send you through this college."

Syndicate. sion was questionable until a committee is appointed by the governor to investigate hous ing women there. Gov. Mark Hatfield agreed that some re-evaluation of uses of the institution might be needed in view of the legis lative stand against program expansion. Squier Optimistic A more optimistic note is struck by Paul J. Squier, sup erintendent of the institution, who envisions his plant as a great step forward in Oregon penology. This view-point is shared by his staff, some of whom have come from as far away as New York to get the institution going. Squier admits that the se curity of a second fence, also denied by the Legislature, is needed to allow freer move ment within the 33-acre en closure, but he is enthusiastic about rehabilitation possibili ties of separating younger of fenders wltn good chances of going straight from more hardened inmates at the peni tentiary. When the institution opens, it will have a nine-room school with four teachers. Inmates will be encouraged to go to school, although there will be lots of work such as land scaping tq do immediately. Not Like Prison The atmosphere of the in stitution is not exactly like a prison. There- are facilities for close custody, but if a man behaves he will be put in a cell block where doors will be open until lights out at 10 p.m. and cells will be painted different colors. Standard equipment of the 8x8 cells is a metal bunk, a wash basin, toilet, a metal Buy Cherry Fudge Ice By the Acre ? Cream Gasoline Stations Threaten Closure Portland -(DPD-Gasoline sta tions in Portland and several other Oregon cities threat ened to close over the Memo rial Day week end as result of action taken here Thurs day night by members of the Oregon Gasoline Dealers as sociation. The association, with about 150 operators at the meeting, decided to notify all major oil companies that stations would' be closed unless the current gas price war here is called off, all subsidies re moved and tank wagon load discounts stabilized. A spokesman said cities that would be affected by a closure would be Portland, Salem, Albany, Corvallis and Scappoose. The spokesman said that all brands of gasoline were rep resented at the meeting. He said that before the new price war began, stations were oper ating on a profit of 5 cents a gallon. Because, of price cut ting, he said,' the margin had dropped to 3 cents or less. He said this was too low for sta tion operations. ' writing desk and stool fasten ed securely to the wall, jack for plugging in a radio head set, a fluorescent light fixture and a bin for per sonal possessions. Most of the furniture was made at the state prison at a substantial savings to the state. In the "medium custody' sections, there is an outside view through heavy glass windows. The dining hall accommo dates 250 at a time. Inmates will be allowed to talk, use a full set of silver, and sit where they like. The whole institution opens from a brightly painted cen tral corridor 525 feet long, lighted by skylights. Training Schedules Inmates will be able to get immediate training in such traded as cooking, baking, bar bering and meat cutting, even though the major vocational program has not been ap proved. Baking and meat cut ting will be done there for several smaller institutions around Salem. Two part-time chaplains, a part-time doctor, a full-time dentist, two sociologists, a clinical psychologist and two social case workers will study the inmates during their first five weeks. Then they will be assigned a program of work and school by a classification committee. Squier thinks the institu tion will fill up fast. He be lieves that, are, at least 500 men at the penitentiary who should be in the intermediate institution, but he has de cided to take men from all over Oregon at first. He would like to be able to handle tougher boys from MacLaren School at Wood- burn, but the legislature has not changed the law to per mit this. Part of the problems may be solved by a suggestion from Judge Donald Long, Multnomah county, that the governor appoint a commit tee to study the program and recommend changes ; to the 1961 legislature. Long was chairman of the citizens com mute which recommended the new institution after a year's study. Man, Dog Saved From Bottom of Grand Canyon Grand Canyon, Ariz. -flJPD-An adventurous artist de scribed today a three-day watery ordeal at -the bottom of the Grand Canyon that re sulted when he lost his canoe and risked his life to stay with his pet dog. The artist, Earl L. Francis, 27, of San Manuel, Ariz., was recuperating at a hotel here after he and his Airedale, Cadillac, were' rescued from the turbulent Colorado river Thursday. They had spent much of the three days swim ming down the river. Started May 7 Francis with his dog started out on the river journey May 7, but last Monday he lost the canoe and was faced with the cnoice oi trying to recover the boat and all his supplies or remain with his dog. "I decided to save the dog and let the boat go," the Dearaea artist told nis res cuers. Francis and Cadillac - both buoyed by life preservers around their necks were pulled from (the swift-moving rapids of the river in a dra matic rescue Thursday. Francis had his arm wrapped tightly around the dog. - They had spent three days in tne current-swept river, sleeping by night on sand bars or along the banks. Towering 1,800 -foot cliffs stretched above them on both sides of the river and the rim of the Grand Canyon was one mile away. No Waterfalls The river is about, 14 feet deep and at one section of the rapids the river drops 33 feet in tnree-tentns ot .a mile. There were rapids but no wa terfalls in his' swimming route. Neither Francis nor his dog had any food during their or deal in which they traveled five to eight miles, mostly by water. At night they had to sleep wet and without protection in temperatures of 55 and 60 de grees. During the day temper atures soared to more than 100 degrees.
