Man Dead in ,
Apartment Zoo
New York -flIPIl- An autopsy
was ordered today on an ele
vator operator who was found
dead in his one-room apart
ment that was crammed with
a zoo full 01 snakes, turtles,
parakeets, cats and a 22-Xool
python.
Police who forced their way
into the apartment of Roland
Rolando, 57, found one of the
snakes, an eight-footer, slitter
ing loose under a bed. They
killed it with an ax.
Authorities said they could
not tell without an autopsy
whether Rolando, who held a
doctor of science degree, died
of natural causes or poisoning
from a snake bite.
Police went to Rolando's
apartment Tuesday after he
had been reported missing
since Saturday. He lives there
alone.
They forced their way into
the room and were startled to
find three snakes, six para
keets, two cats, and four
turtles, all in cages; a two-foot
alligator dying in a sink, a
tank containing man - eating
piranha fish from tne Amazon
river. A caged python was the
largest ever encountered by
the local ASPCA office which
was quickly called after the
discoveries.

Inmate Preparing Himself for
Boxing Career When Released
Higher Education
Asks Report on
Junior Colleges
Lindell Carl Buttram of
Shady Cove wants to be the
strongest professional boxer
in the world. There is, how
ever, one drawback to his
pursuing this career at the
present time - he is an inmate
at the Oregon Sthte peniten
tiary in Salem.
Buttram, who can weightlift
1,900 pounds at once, was
convicted in 1958 of the bur
glary of a Central Point fi
nance company and was sen
tenced to three years in the
state prison. He has three
months left to serve.
Being a prison inmate has
n't kept Buttram from train
ing for his life's ambition to
be a fighter. He has said he
can outbox anyone in the pri
son, and has apparently done
so at one time or another.
Plans Division
Buttram is 23 years old,
weighs 185 pounds and stands
at 5 feet 10V4 inches tall. He
plans to fight in the light
heavyweight division
The ambitious young in
mate corresponds regularly
with Medford Police Lt. Lyle
C. Perkins, who is head of
the department's detective di
vision. Perkins was Instru
mental in the arrest and con
viction of Buttram following
the finance company bur
glary.
The two men have since
become good friends and
Lieutenant Perkins has prom
ised Buttram he will help
him find a fight manager
when he is released and if
"he keeps his nose clean."
Lifts 1,900 Pounds
Buttram's weight lifting'
prowess, if developed, would
probably put him among the
best weightlifters in the coun
try. He has lifted 1,900
pounds, consisting of weights
and three men. He can press
260 pounds with one arm
which is just 10 pounds shy
of the world record.
But, he said in a recent let
ter to Lieutenant Perkins: "I
don't consider myself a
weightlifter. I'm a fighter.
Not as yet a fighter of note,
but I'm going to be. I'm
young: I'm strong; and I ve
got all it takes."
Ashland Schools
Hold Programs;
Others Are Set
Ashland-More than 650 chil
dren from the fourth, fifth and
sixth grades of Ashland's four
elementary schools presented
the first in the series of three
public school Christmas pro
grams Monday night before a
capacity crowd in the Ashland
High school gym.
Thursday night's concert
Will be given in the new jun
ior high school gym by junior
high school students, and on
Tuesday evening, Dec. 20, the
high school program will be
presented in the high school
gym.
One of the highlights of the
program was the boys' chorus
from Walker school with
Gregory Jones singing the solo
part in "O Holy Night." An
interesting arrangement of the
English melody "Seven Joys
of Christmas" was sung by the
Briscoe school chorus.
European Carols
Bellview chorus was heard
in three European carols,
while a group of German,
Spanish and French songs of
Christmas was presented by
the Lincoln school chorus.
Monte Bradshaw, young vi
olinist, played Brahms' "Lul
laby and the Christmas story
from St. Luke was read by
the Rev. B. J. Holland. The
audience Joined in opening
and closing carols of "O Come
All Ye Faithful" and "Hark!
The Herald Angels Sing."
Directors of the Monday
concert were Mrs. Virginia
Cecil, Mrs. Audrey Bartlett,
Mrs. Vera Burgoyne, Mrs. Syl
via Pfahler, Frank Kenney,
Raoul Maddox and Bernard
Windt. Mrs. J, W. McCoy was
the organ accompanist.
Buttram says most fighters
are weak when physical
strength is considered. This
will not be the case with
him and he claims that "with
out a doubt I will be the
strongest light heavyweight in
the world." He said his fight
posters will boast this claim.
Because he has spent sev
eral of his prime fighting
years in prison, Buttram has
not had a chance to fight pro
fessionally on the "outside."
Neither has he had any pro
fessional training to speak of.
Buttram says, however, that
things will be different when
he is released. Starting these
last few months in prison,
Buttram plans to start train
ing extensively and will con
tinue training upon his re
lease. When he is released, But
tram wants to get a job. He
says he will take any kind
of a decent" job that is of
fered. All he wants, he says,
is "something to hold me un
til I can establish myself in
the ring."

Portland -fljPU- In an effort
io nana c larccr numDcrs or
students, the Oregon Board of St Ttc T" T-e
Higher Education Tuesday o I O I O" I J I CC 115
called for a report on the
feasibility of junior colleges
in Oregon, and on the possi
bility of adopting the Cali
fornia plan for grading of In
stitutions according to various
levels of student ability.
The board voted to ask for
legislation raising the amount
of money it can borrow to $33
million. The present ceiling is
$24 million.
Board members said the
change would permit $10 mil-
ion to be spent on new, self-
liquidating educational facil
ities in the next two years.
In other action, the board
moved to seek legislation
changing the names of three
state institutions. Under the
proposal, Oregon State Col
lege would become Oregon
Stale University; Eastern Ore
gon College of Education
would become Eastern Oregon
College; and Southern Oregon
College of Education would
become Southern Oregon Cat-
lege.
Board president Henry Ca
bell named himself, William
E. Walsh, and Dr. Ralph Pur
vine to a committee to seek re
placement for Oregon Stnte
College President A. L.
Strand, who plans to take an
other post with the state sys
tem of higher education next
summer.
No action was taken on
naming a new president at
University of Oregon.
Credit Cards To
Extend To Japan
Los Angeles - tUPP - Stanley
Dasliew president of Dashew
Business Machines, Inc.', to
day announced a venture he
says will extend the U.S
credit card system to Japan
The idea is to use universal
credit cards processed by machines.
The venture will be known
as Dashew TDS and will also
involve Toshi Go, 72-ycar-old
Japanese industrialist and
former president of the Japan
Times. Go has formed a 50-50
partnership with the Japan
Times' Tokyo Daiichi Slioji
Company.
Machines," said Dasliew,
already speak a universal
language since data processing
punches can be made to rep
resent any rational symbols,
whether it's in Africa or Ja
pan.
According to the two execu
tives, five or six Japanese
banks will control all credit
references and the entire re
tail credit operation.
