Idaho Prison Rioters
Routed by Tear Gas
After 4-Hour Disorder
300 RebeIIious Inmates
QueIIed After Setting Fire
And Smashing Furniture
BY the Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho, May 24.-Three
hundred prisoners rioted at Idaho
State Penitentiary for more than
four hours today before a tear gas
barrage broke their rebellion.
The men started two fires,
smashed furniture and broke VIM
dows before State and city police
routed them from their stronghold
in a barricaded recreation hall.
The prisoners had armed them
selves with butcher knives and
other crude weapons.
IF any one tries to 60 over the
wall stop them. and I don't give a
damn how. you do it," Warden l..
E. Clapp angrily told guards. None
of the prisoners tempted the war
dens stern order.
Then, with four hours Of ruin
Gus rampaging under their belts,
the choking prisoners, finally
stumbled from the gas-filled hall
as police and guards formed a
ring of gun. barrels about them.
Disregard Ultimatum.
Approximately three-fourths of
the prisons inmates had barri-
caded themselves in the recrea-
ton hall.
The warden said unrest had
developed after a grievance COM
mite was formed to consider
convicts' complaints about a priS-
on recreation program. Tension
built up when radicals" in the
yard attempted to take over the
committee.
After the riot was quelled,
Warden Clapp said the grievance
committee would be abolished. He
said individuals responsible for
the riot will be punished and
they'll go into solitary confine-
ment."
Fearful of "The Hole"
While the prisoners were mill
ing in the prison yard one of
them, identifying himself as Roy
Edward Jones, told newsmen that
well probably get eight months
to year in The Hole" Jones
said he was serving a 15-year
term for hllrp1arv
Reporters, standing on the high
prison wall to watch the pro-
ceedings, heard the man say: '"The
warden doesn't have the CUTS to
take you reporters through the
prison and show you The Hole
It smells like a billy goat pen
Two weeks ago Warden Clapp
invited reporters to interview a
prisoner, Dewey Edwards. who had
spent several months in solitary

Eisenhower Scores
N-4victory Over Taft
In Washington State
Generals Forces Smash
Opposition, Keep Control
Through Extended Session
By the Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash, May "a
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower scored
humping 20-4 victory over Sen
ator Taft, Republican. of Ohio,
tonight in a bitter, drawn-out bat
tie for Washington's "a votes for
the Republican presidential nomi-
nation.
The generals hackers. armed
with a majority of 900 delegates
at the State convention, were in
control from the start and swept
in their slate amid long debates
and parliamentary wrangles.
Taft supporters could win only
the delegates from two of the six
congressional districts. Two were
elected from each. Gen. Eisen-
hower's hackers won in the other
four and took all IL at-large dele
gates.
Taft Leads in National.
Senator Taft still leads the ma
tional COP race with 399 delegates
to 359 for Gen. Eisenhower.
Threats of a Taft walkout over
the controversial unit rule in the
big King County (Seattle) dele
cation vanished as the hours wore
on and the Eisenhower majority
on the floor held up.
The Taft forces. weary from de-
bate, conceded as the convention
went well into the night and
didn't even contest the last six at
large delegates. The convention
agreed to permit the Eisenhower
controlled King County delega-
tion to cast its 80 votes as a unit.
The vote on it was 481-401.
Continue Losing Battle.
The Taft camp attempted to
throw out the decision by claim
ling the matter needed two-thirds
majority to pass. George Kin
near, an Eisenhower man who
was elected permanent chairman,
disagreed and the convention sus-
tanned the ruling by 504-377la.
Taft forces, contending the unit
rule is illegal and unfair. had
ben expected to walk out at this
point, but they stayed on and
continued the losing battle.
Some of the less hardy delegates
quit the convention floor as the
might wore on and the matter of
platform and national committee
man and committeewoman sent
to q vote.

protesting terrorism and maSSa-
ere" were raised.
Reappearance of the Red flags
was another symptom that all was
not yet well with the 10000 self
disciplined North Korean and Chi
nese prisoners on Koje. Control is
maintained inside the barbed wire
enclosures by Red commissars.
The new display of defiance
came as Brig. Gen. Hayden Boat
ner fired his deputy commander
and shook up the remaining staff
He was welding tough interna-
tional security force from five ma
tions.
Gen. Boatner has given fair
warning to die-hard Reds to obey
|regulations-or face the conse-
quences.
The deputy commander, Col
Maurice j. Fitzgerald, has been
replaced and assigned to duty as
an adviser to the Korean national
police.
Addition of two companies OF
the commonwealth division-ap-
|proximately 500 men-obviously
was a political as we'll as a mill
tary gesture.
AS part of the increased aware
ness of the Importance of Koje
in the stalled armistice talks in
Panmunjom and the impact which
world opinion has on them, the
United Nations command ap-
peared determined to make the
Koje security force as interna-
tional a group as possible. Until
recently American and Korean
troops bore the full brunt OF
maintaining order.
Since Gen. Boatner took over
his jobs IL days ago-a Job he
labeled "one of the toughest in
the army" - he has moved
cautiously in dealing directly with
prisoners but quickly in other
respects.

Despite reported progress in

man said that "as far as the

still feel it will work out and that

job of keeping police in line might
best be done within the depart

The problem of finance has been
troubling some members of the
Police Department since the cur
rent hearings got under way.

brought out and developed by the

tore said. And when the men

The Senator said he did not
mean to imply that all members
of the Police Department are dis
honest.
"A great number of police Off
GERS are doing their duty, even
at meager recompense," he said
He added that extra money does
mot buy morality, but that higher
salaries would attract a better
type to police service.
The recommendations were
touched off by the latest set Of
hearings by the crime committee
The sessions last week were fol-
lowed closely by the suspension
of Inspector Albert I. Bullock.
Inspector Bullock testified al
closed sessions that he could moi
recall the source of $4,000 in cash
he and his wife deposited in ad-
dition to their pay checks ovel
a 30-month period during 1916
1947 and 1948. Mrs. Bullock re-
fused to answer most questions
about the money.
The inspector was suspended
until he can explain or until he
faces police trial board.

In earlier hearings, 1t. H. H
Carper, suspended head of the

The midshipmen appreciated
that sally. but the high point for
them in the talk was his order as

ing Vice Admiral Harry w. Hill,

He had done the same thing at
West Point during his visit few
days ago, he said.

Truman commented, but actually
they have no right to do so. It is
strictly a presidential prerogative,
he said.

He gave the 3,7O0 midshipmen
some advice on leadership, and
then handed out the awards for
the winners in the annual track
meet between the sailors and their
cadet rivals from West Point.
Travelling on the yacht Will
liamsburg, he left the Academy at
5:45 pm. for an overnight cruise
to Washington.
His busy day-long schedule also
included a full-dreSs review of the
midshipmen's brigade: a ball game
between Navy and West Point
