i i Scholar Ends Crime Career A3-Palm Beach Port-Times, Sunday, July 18, 1871 People In the News John A. Smalley of Salt Lake City, who has spent over half his life in prison, decided to learn Spanish a few years ago while plotting an escape to Mexico. But instead of aiding his escape plans. Smalley's Spanish studies touched off a thirst for knowledge that will reach a milestone Aug. 14 when he receives a master's degree in sociology from the University of Utah.

Smalley spent 37 of his 61 years in the Colorado State Prison on armed robbery charges. Ten years of that time was spent in solitary confinement after he escaped three times. He says he smoked marijuana for 32 years while in prison. "Seventy per cent of the prison population was on drugs mostly marijuana because it was easy to smuggle in." Smalley was released from prison in 1961 to go to school but continued smoking marijuana. When he was caught smoking pot while attending Adams State College in Colorado in 1963 he was sent back to prison for five years.

When Smalley got out in 1968 he decided to break his drug habit. "It's against the law." he said. Smalley. a short, outgoing man. says he doesn't think his 32 years on drugs affected him.

"At least I'm not aware of any problems from smoking marij uana he said. Smalley gives this account of his record: He dropped out of school at the eighth Businesswoman Miss Universe Entrant By Tht AiMciatwd Pratt Miss England caught a two-day glimpse of New York enroute to Miami Beach for the Miss Universe pageant and was impressed sort of.

Despite stunning 36-24-35 credentials. Miss England figures "my chances are slim against this collection of beauties" in the Miss Universe contest.

"Judges can fool you. though." she added with a grin. The 21-year-old English girl operates a mod clothes boutique in New Milton and models on the side. A possible move into the European Common Market concerns the young businesswoman. "Prices will certainly rise in England." she said, "but it's our only way to move forward.

We are caught in a squash between the United States and Russia and we're feeling it." Miss England's favorite hobby is cooking. No. 1 product of her kitchen is goulash, "but I like to try any kind of dish once." Marilyn's boyfriends are numerous, but nothing steady. She is careful whom she dates and detests "men who think they can boss women around." Miss England has ideas about living elsewhere for awhile perhaps in the United States but "I suppose I shall always go back home to England. 1-7 APWirtphoto Prison Scholar John A.
