Three days later two were dead, four were wounded and the other six were in solitary confinement. In the interveming hours, this mad dash to freedom occupied the news- papers and radios of the nation as hourly nulletins kept an anxious putlic keenly aware of the stark drama of the manhunt. The nervous tension which occupied the residents of Canon City, where the prison is located, spread throughout the state of Colorado and the entire coun- try. This same suspense, aciion and emotional impact has been incor- porated in “Canon City,” Eagle Lion’s semi-factual movie story of the hreak, opening Sunday at the Capitol Theatre. 'he picture brings to the Ameri- can movie audience the thrills And nerve-wracking excitement of the real life escape attempt with dra- matic authenticity. The actual pris- |2 on and the Canon City locale were used for all Scenes of the movie.

If we put this on we may not need any farm roads; rhere won't be any farmers left,” he charged. The plight of the truckers com- peting with the Alaska Railroad also drew the sympathy of Senator Butrovich and he described trucking as “marginal at best.” “The oil tax hits them hflrd ind I believe it is desirable to keep thém in competition with the railroad,” the Senator said Senator Barr took exception to the criticism of his bill. “My bill corrects many of the evils of the present law,” he as- serted, and described a method for distributing revenues to the three funds that would be as simple as separating the suits of a deck of cards. Despite his eloquent pleas for ve- aicular facilities, Senator Barr was able to secure the support of only four other Senators in the tinal vote. They were Senators Engebreth, Huntley, McCutcheon and Rivers, all of the "Third Divis- ion, Sail Vs. Power The sail vs. power controversy, now long dead in most parts of the world but still an issue in the Bris- tol Bay fishery and brought before the Legislature by Rep. C. C. Carl- son’s H. B. 23 to levy a tax of ing in the Senate during the late sfternoon yesterday. During some warm pre-vote de- bate, Senator Anita Garnick read A long telegram protesting pas- sage of the bill. The telegram came from Judson Brown, who she said is a Bristol Bay fisherman and union agent. “The only ones benefited by this bill would be power boats from other areas, which wovld move in 2nd deplete the Bristol Bay fishery as they have the others” the tele- gram stated. Senator Garnick noted that the bill would levy the tax against the “gperator” of the boat, not the owner, and felt that this would place the burden upon the fisher- man. Compares To Mining Senator Collins supported Sena- tor Garnick’s statement that the tax would probably fall upon the sisherman and went on to compare the tax to one on a single type of mining equipment, Wwith other {ypes untaxed. “The miners would try to get rid of an ox-cart system of transpor- tation and that’s what this is, an yx-cart method of fishing,” Sena- tors Rivers shot back at him. “T pelieve a man should be al- lowed to fish with a sail boat if he wants to, without a heavy tax,” Senator Collins said. Arthur Johnson, who said that he has fished in Bristol Bay since 1943, spoke briefly from the gallery ly to questions by Senator Rivers. He favored passage of the pill. “Shallow draft boats could easily be bult that would go any- where sail boats will go,” he assert- ed: in [ Drawn Up As Club 12 club over the Fish and Wildlife house” stages—wherever that strange | Starring Betty Grable in the title| opens tonight at the | Myrtle and Frank Burt, a real-life’ hit parade fame) it is primarily de- voted to unfolding the private dram- | £520 on sailboats, had its final air- - Look to The 20th Century Theaire For Leadership & Bears Gpen | i | troo i | Direc to Be 50¢ Service to force them to change the regulations,” Senator Butrovich ! caid. “The Fish and Wildlife Direct- or told us they have already recom- mended the change, so I see no purpose to the bill.

All the aiscussicis, zestimony, tele- done little to clarify the issue for Senator Anderson. “Sometimes I think one way about this bill and sometimes I think the other way,” he told the Senators. “I had understood it was it is a tax on the fishermen, T am not in favor of it.” fax were Senators Engebreth, Hunt- ley, Lyng, MacKenzie, McCutcheon, Peratrovich and Rivers. e — SEY'S BOAT GETTING N¥W 3TOVE Dick Lindsay is installing a new gelley stove an his boat, the Junior “This bill was drawn' up to be of Sitka registry.
