Blames Break Plot On ‘Long-Termers'

Warden Russell’ D. Moore today blamed assignment of too many “long-term convicts” for a recent break attempt at the Indfna Reformatory at Pendleton. Six prisoners were in solitary confinement at the reformatory today after guards foiled a plot to blow up heating plant boilers and scale the walls with hidden ladders during the excitement. “Men who have to serve 25 years ean't be reformed,” he sald. “They should be in a prison not a reformatory.” The warden expressed belief a man who has-to serve a long term behind bars will not benefit from the kind of treatment received in a ‘reformatory. He said the primary purpose of his institution is: correc-

tion and not detention, “We are getting a lot of men of the dare-devil age now,” he added. ! "Discovery of the plot of six convicts to break out of the reformatory March- 4 was revealed last

night.

Finds Crude Ladder Lt. Glen Alvey first unearthed)

the plan when he found a crude

pipe ladder hidden in the basement |

of the furniture factory at the

institution. By means of the “grapevine” reformatory officers learned of the time scheduled for the break. They also found out who was involved in the plot. On the day set for the escape Capt. Ward Lane found a drain valve opened and water running out of the boiler onto the floor of the power house. Warden ‘Moore immediately ordered the suspects rounded up and placed in solitary ‘confinement. Two confessed the plot and implicated the others. Involved in the attempted break were: Frank E. Burman, 29, sentenced to 10 to 25 years for armed robbery; Ralph Buck, 20, serving 20 years for robbery; James Bray, 21,

_ serving 2 to 14 years for conspiracy

to comit a felony; George Walls, 24, serving 1 to 10 years for vehicle taking; Donald Lockhart, 24, and. his brother, -Charles Lockhart, 22, sentenced to 20 years for robbery.

Slum Clearance Testimony Ended

5-Judge Court May Rule Next Week

A ruling on the constitutionality of Indianapolis’ half-million-dollar slum clearance program may be handed down by five superior court judges next week. Testimony of 75 property owners, protesting designation of their residential district as a “blighted area” for redeveloment, has been completed after two weeks of hearings. Testimony of members of the city’s redevelopment - commission, engineers and planners will be completed this week, The judges have asked attorneys for the commission and the remonstrators to be ready to argue the law on their cases next Monday; indicating a decision will be handed down immediately.

Funds Total $500,000

The hearing is on an appeal of the residential property owners from the redevelopment commis sion’s order, condemning a near northwest side area as “blighted” for redevelopmens. The area in question is between 10th and 16th sts. and West st. and Milburn ave. The redevelopment commission has more than $500,000, raised from taxes, to purchase property in the blighted area and resell it to private concerns for redevelopment. The legal question will arise over the right of a governmental unit to condemn property for resale to private corporations for redevelopment on a profit basis.

Well, what did you mean exactly? Mr, Cooper, a dark-haired man who draws pretty girls for most of the national magazines, closed his eyes and sighed: “Those backs,” he sald, “I just mean they're beautiful.” . Almost any woman, aided by enough powder and paint, can fix up her face, Mr. Cooper said. Give her some eye-shadow, false lashes, a few pencil touches around the brow—and who can tell? “But a woman’s back is her own, and she’s stuck with it,” he ex. plained. “There's not much that she can do to shange. it. ‘It's the tip-off whether she’s really beautiful or not.” : x ‘Trowel’ Shoulder Blades

“They want you to paint their faces,” he said. : “It takes slick arguing to get a model to submit to a back view.” Asked if he could name the 10 top female backs in the United States, Mr. Cooper grinned and

“It isn’t like judging a face,” he explained, and darned near blushed. “I mean, to do a girl's back justice, you almost have to touch it.”
