Salem - fUPD - 'As a forward
looking state, Oregon has
long sought maximum devel
opment and use of its natural
resources.
In the timber Industry, for
example, salvage of every
part of every log is readily
recognizable as the key to
progress.
At the State Correctional
institution, Oregon's newest
on the outskirts of Salem,
the raw materials are human
instead of natural but the
guiding principle is similar.
Rehabilitation is but anoth-

S-'D., holds the 50-star flag she crocheted for President
Elsenhower's museum. She sent the flag to Sen. Karl Mundt
(t$SD) who presented it Wednesday "with her compliments
and good wishes." A life-long Republican, Mrs. Leighton said
sRa worked on the flag at intervals for about a year before
finishing it. The flag measures 22 by 32 inches, was cro-
cllfcted with double stitch. The thread contains a slight gloss
and the stars were crocheted, ana studied to the blue iieia.

Supt. Paul J. Squier entlm
sisatically expresses the mod
ern thinking. "The idea that
people can change is a pro
gressive philosophy," he says.
Inmates Re-Educaled
"Rehabilitation at OCI is
the process by which we re
educate the inmate to Again
take his place as a construc
tive member of society."
It was not always so.
Through the ages, societys
quest for revenge motivated
many penal policies. An "eya
for an e.ye" was often liberal
ly applied.
But today in Oregon thf
state is quick to justify the
new emphasis on rehabilita
tion on either humanitarian
or economic grounds.
After a diagnostic study of
a new inmate, a program tail
ored specially to him is de
vised. The therapies of spirit
ual guidance, discipline, edu
cation and proper work habits
come into play.
Realistic Program
Heavy emphasis is put on
development of these work
habits through a realistic
work-training program.
The dual function of the
institution's vocational train
ing school is to teach useful
trades while cutting costs
through self-help. Trades now
being taught include cooking,
baking, meat cutting, harbor
ing, radio and television re
pair and office machine and
typewriter repair.
The reshaping of human
conduct and character. un
doubtedly will never be an
exact science.
But the application of re
venge in an institution is a
whip of yesterday.

Stimulant Pill
Dangers Revealed
In FDA Report
Washington- (Science Serv
ice) Illegal sales of ampheta
mine drugs, pep pills, to truck
drivers and motorists are add
ing to the dangers of highway
travel.
Reporting on efforts of the
Food find Drug administration
to stop nonprescription sales
since its crackdown lest fall.
Commissioner George P. Lap
rick said here today that boot
legging stimulant puis had
become a highly profitable
racket. The commissioner
said:
"When we consider1 that the
annual production of amphe
tamines is on the order of (19,
000 pounds enough to make
approximately 5.6 billion 5
milligram tablets, or about 35
tablets for every man, woman,
nd child in the country it
seems likely that a large part
of the market for these drugs
is through illicit channels.
Emphasizing that the FDA
crackdown was not intended
to interfere with the proper
use of these drugs under ..iedi-
cal supervision, Commissioner
Larrick warned that unsuper
vised use "can result in ex
cessive nervous stimulation,
loss of desire for sleep, gastro
intestinal disturbances, im
pairment of judgment, hallu
cinations and mental derange
ment. And the drugs may have
adverse reactions in certain
conditions such as high blood
pressure, heart disease and
diabetes.
Since last fall when the
FDA had more than 200 cases
of illegal sales under investi
gation, 8S criminal prosecu
tions have been completed ana
31 Additional criminal prose
cutions have noen institutea.
In eight separate actions,
1,837,000 tablets infl ceptwlen

"Amphetamines can be

he said. "They often sell for
$1.00 per dozen."
The need for legislation to
strengthen the present Federal
law is pointed up in tne rUA
