WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINETEEN Guards Use Tear Gas On Prisoners WALLA WALLA. Wash, m , Guards used gas grenades to end a "very minor incident" at the Washington State Penitentiary Sunday, Waroen Lawrence Del more Jr., reported Monday night. Delmore said the new trouble In volved inmates who took part in two recent prison riots. , The 15 prisoner described as leaders of the July 5-6 rebellion and others involved In a disturb since Aig. 14 began pounding their eel! doors and '"making a racket" i bout 2 p.m. Sunday, the warden said. Prison officials believed the men were irymi; to cover a "sawlng out job," Delmore said, and an alert was sounded. "We used several grenades of gas and they have been quiet ever f-ince." the warden said. "I con sidered the incident very minor. It was over In five minutes." Delmore's belated disclosure came a few hours after State Sen. Neil Hoff, chairman of the Leg islative Council's subcommittee on institutions had called on the state attorney general to step in and prosecute leaders of the July and August uprisings. The Tacoma Republican told Tacoma newsmen If Walla Walla County Pros. Arthur Hawman does not act within a week, Atty. Gen. Don Easlvold should proceed against the prisoners "as part of Gov. Laneiie's "get tough' policy with criminals. "We've had riots at the prison for the past 21'2 years." Hoff said. "Not a single person has been punished. The last Legislature passed an anti-riot act with teeth in it. Unless somebody it1 pun ished, these uprisings will con tinue." The senator's statement brought Jrom Kswman the comment: "Senator Hoff is a publicity hound. I don't want anyone to come In and tell me how to run this courty's r.ffairs." Hawman told a reporter he couldn't say when charges will be filed against the prisoners and de clined to give any reason for de lay. Delmore said full information on the July 4-5 riot was given to Haw man 'between two and three weeks ago." He said the investi gation of the Aug. 14 riot is continuing.

The forest industry of Oregon and Washington directly accounts for over 133,000 jobs, with an annual payroll of about $600 million. Thou sands of others are employed in remanufactur ing wood into an increasing variety of products. Steady employment in the forest industry is a result of the steady sale of its products. Successful marketing brings a constant flow of money into this area that reaches out in ever-expanding circles ... money spent for ser vices, food, clothing, homes, automobiles, and taxes which support schools and government functions. All told, the forest industry is the foundation for more than half of the economy of Oregon and Washington. WPMHAiUSffi ilEi To sell forest products in a highly competitive building materials market, special customer services are of major importance. In retail lumber yards, for instance, one of the most useful services provided for individual and professional builders alike is the farm and home building plan and idea file. Prepared by competent designers and engineers, this file includes a wide variety of modern construction plans as well as building specifications and complete material lists. In addition to building plans, lumber dealers are provided with up-to-date technical literature by the forest products industry to assist customers in the proper use of wood. Most lumber dealers can also offer valuable personal counsel, based upon wide experience in the building materials field. Such special customer services augment the ad vertising and merchandising programs of the forest products industry and help maintain the steady sales volume upon which continuous mill operation depends.
