William F. Kennedy, prison school principal, said thousands of books donated by college students and professors for the Upward Bound program were destroyed. Most Records Safe The control room and the deputy warden offices off it were gutted along with some of the records. However, the Code May Snag Private Plans For UR Area Salem Alderman James Tin-dall may not be able to legally expand his personal property holdings in the Hollywood business district's urban renewal area because of a federal regulation governing public officials. City Attorney William Juza gave this opinion at the Coun cil informal Monday noon meeting, explaining that the city and federal government will enter into a formal contract to carry out the Hollvwood UR plan.

A federal regulation pro hibits public officials from acquiring a financial interest in such projects. Planned PO Expansion Tindall had planned for two years to expand the North Salem Post Office branch in Hol lywood, which he leases to the federal government. To do this he would have to acquire additional property along realigned Tile Road. Juza said, "You may not be able to buy that piece of property and still remain on the City Council." He made the statement while reviewing the city ethics code with the Coun cil. He said the City Ethics Board's code becomes more than advisory for elected officials when they have financial interest in matters facing the council.

State law also says elected officials can't vote or discuss issues in which they have fin ancial interests, Juza said. Federal Law Stricter And federal requirements are even more rigid, for any public officials, elected or not, he added. They are not allowed to acquire any financial interest in federal projects. Hollywood business district is getting a $1.6 million federal grant to buy all the property in that district for resale to a private corporation to develop a new shopping center. Tindall wants to expand the Post Office building and provide more parking.

The Council asked Larry Coons, urban renewal director, to investigate the federal regulations to see if Tindall would be in violation to proceed with his plans.

A franchise agreement between Salem Sanitary Service and the city was extend ed for 120 days Monday to help settle controversial issues in the garbage collection business in the city. The City Council took that action Monday, along with establishment of a new Council committee to study and recom mend an interim rate increase to Salem Sanitary Service, which holds a franchise to collect garbage in the city. The company asked for a year's extension of its franchise which expires April 1. Independent suburban firms which have sub-contracts with Salem Sanitary Service to collect in some newly annexed areas, opposed a year's extension of the franchise agreement Increase Opposed The independents said in a letter sent to the Council that it opposes the city giving Salem Sanitary Service a rate increase until territorial disputes are resolved. Attorney David Rhoten told the City Council Monday night that the suburban collectors operating in the city see no need for a rate increase.

Edward Roth, council president and chairman of the Solid By WALT PENK Statesman Capitol Reporter The riot damage to the State Prison was estimated late Mon day at between $2 and $2.5 million. This was a sharp cut in the damage figures which went as high as $6 million while the smoke was still coming from the buildings inside the walls over the weekend. Leander Quiring, state finance director, said, "I don't see how it possibly can be more than $2 to $2.5 million." He gave the estimate after men from his staff, the General Services Department and the Legislative Fiscal Committee, toured the prison Tuesday morning and afternoon. Some Inmates Help Empolyes at the prison are working on 12-hour shifts to try to clear up the debris. They are, being helped by some inmates.

As to actual rebuilding work, planning awaits the initial cleanup and restoration of order which now have the priority at the prison. Corrections Administ a George Randall said Monday that repair may be undertaken simultaneously at all the damaged buildings.

In the cell blocks, the big main locks apparently survived the vandalism. But much bed ding burned and windows and heating ducts were smashed.

While the hospital has some damage, it wasn't as extensive as at first believed. Destroyed by theft and smashing was the complete store of medicine. Restoration of the hospital has a high priority. State has $1.4 Million The State Restoration Fund, a form of state government self-insurance, has approximately $1.4 million in its reserves, and an additional $400,000 will be available July 1. The latter amount could be drawn upon now by use of warrants.

The fund takes care of only fire damage. Vandalism, such as smashed windows, wouldn't come out of this reserve. However, additional money may be available by shifting funds in the correctional division programs. The State Emergency Board also could provide some funds. With the scaled down estimates and the shifting of funds, it is unlikely that a special session of the Legislature will be necessary.

There was little talk of this possibility Monday. Woman's Car Missing; 5 Youths Cited Three young Salem men and two juveniles, one a MacLaren School escapee, were charged ilii uiiauuiui UJ.

CUPP Waste Disposal Committee, said the territorial dispute and other disposal problems shouldn't be tied to the new rate increase, which he says is justified.

Salem Sanitary Service is asking for a 25 cent a month increase in basic garbage collection and increases for users of its landfill dump on Brown Island. Firm 'Losing Money Roth said Salem Sanitary Service is losing money because of capital outlays for the new dump. Roth said it was "morally wrong" to hold up the company's rate increase until the territorial issue, mandatory collection of garbage and other proposed programs are adopted. City Manager Douglas W. Ayres took issue with Roth.

He said Salem Sanitary Service was slow in supplying the city with financial data to support its rate requests. Ayres said his staff has been trying to extract the financial report from William Schlitt, president of the corporation, for five months. Ayres said if Schlitt had submitted information and refrained from "bleeding all over everybody," the city could have settled the issue months ago. Robert Kennedy of New York. The men are chosen because they were "generally advocated" for the post.

Hancock and Bowling were confined to the segregation and isolation block at the time of Saturday's riot man, Carlos T. (Cud) HoucK, fear that by giving Salem San itary Service a rate increase the city would lose some of its bargaining powers in the other issues. The suburban col lectors agree with this philos ophy. Sees No Harm Mayor Vera Miller said he didn't think granting the increase would materially affect the city's bargaining power.

In fact, Miller said, the city doesn't have too much bargain ing power. "Despite all this talk about the city holding the hammer, he's got all the aces He has the only place author ized by the State Sanitary Auuv ority to put it." Even the suburban collectors use Schlitt's land fill dump, Miller said. Mandatory Collection To complicate matters, the city is planning to require all residents to subscribe to gar bage collection. This would cause Salem Sanitary Service additional expense for equip ment to serve more customers. Schlitt says he needs about a year to resolve all the issues.

Ayres said the issues can be resolved 60 to 90 days. The suburban collectors agree. $500 Fine Imposed on 'Pot' Charge Richard James Wilcox, 30, 616 Arbor Court, Independence, was fined $500 Monday in Mar ion County Circuit Court on a charge of unlawful possession of a narcotic drug.

It is difficult to say. Right now I wish I was a truck driver." Gladden was appointed warden in 1953 by Gov. Paul L. Patterson. He just retired from the prison system when Gov.

Patterson sought him out while he was visiting relatives at Tacoma, Wash. Gladden wouldn't accept the warden post here but did agree to come to Salem and make an evaluation of the prison system, which had been besieged with riots, mostly dealing with convict-set fires at the flax mills and other prison industries. In fact there was a riot underway when Gladden arrived. Similar to the past weekend riots, Gladden and assigned pri son officials met with convict negotiating committees as buildings burned. Gladden refused to barter with the inmate group.

He looked over their list of grievances and decided to accept the wari den job. Gladden didn have to worry about hostages that time. He ordered prison guards and po Retiring penitentiary warden Clarence T. Gladden, recuperating from pneumonia and sciati ca at his home just outside Oregon State Prison walls, remained too ill to get out Monday. The illness kept him home during the penitentiary rioting of the weekend, and this made him "feel badly that he couldn't be of any help," his wife said Tuesday.

He had no statement to make about the riot, she said. It was during the riot-ending negotiations between convict leaders and state officials early Sunday that George Randall, administrator of State Corrections Division, announced that 73-year-old Gladden would retire. Hoyt C. Cupp was named acting warden. Cupp, 40, who came up through the ranks from State Prison guard to assistant superintendent in charge of custody at Oregon Correctional Institution, took over as acting warden shortly after the riot began.
