Quiet Settles Over Prison
As Riot End Is Anticipated

BELLEFONTE, Pa. IA tense,
uneasy quiet settled over the Rock
view branch of Western State Pen
itentiary today some IA hours after
nearly 800 eonvicts rioted and
seized five guards as hostages.
The tumult broke out minutes
after settlement of 24-hour out
break in the main part of the
prison at Pittsburgh, 100 miles to
the west.
Deputy Warden H. r. Johnston
said word was passed along to
him that the insurgents had pre-
pared a list Of demands but that
an aide, sent to the barricaded
cell blocks, was told it was not
ready for submission.
Gerald Evy, prison farm superin-
tendent. said cts been awful
quiet--too quiet"
While awaiting the arrival Of
state officials from Pittsburgh,
Johnston and his staff discussed
the advisability of turning off the
heat in the prison, but came to
no decision.
What to do about feeding the
prisoners was another urgent prob
lem, as the mess hall is inacces-
sible to the rebels and the serving
of food to the corvicts in their
cell blocks was thought to be out
Of the question.
The convicts at this central Penn
sylvania penitentiary seized control
Of the three main cell blocks last
night, barricading the entrances
with chairs and mattresses. Two
hundred and twenty convicts in
one Of the blocks, who refused at
first to join in the rioting, later
set fire to a mattress and threat
ened to take three volunteer guards
as hostages. After talking it over
with prison officials, however, the
guards were freed unframed and
the prisoners agreed to stay quietly
in their cells.
"This thing has been brewing
for some time" Johnston told
reporter.
Meanwhile calm was restored
in Pittsburgh, where more than
1000 prisoners returned to official
discipline after the settlement.
In contrast to a night and day
Of shouting defiance and demands
for prison reforms the Pittsburgh
prisoners became meek and hum
BILE.
They agreed to terms laid down
in the states truce offers just as
law officials massed for an all
out assault. The agreement called
for the prisoners to release their
hostages without harm and submit
themselves to regular prison rules
and discipline in return for
investigation Of their complaints
and a promise Of no reprisals for
the riot.

RY TX EAsLEY

WASHINGTON H-Senate Re-
publican Leader Taft, declaring
"filibusterers are weakening, I"
aimed today for a test vote in the
wordy battle over ownership of the
o;l-rieh submerged coastal lands.
The Ohio legislator said he
looked for a clearcut show of
strength late today on an amend
ment by Sen. Anderson (D-NM),
an advocate of federal control of
the controversial areas.
But Taft said he was mot awful.
ly optimistic" about setting up a
date for final vote on the House
approved bill which has been a
storm center Of Senate debate
since April /.
Anderson's amendment would
knock out the bills provision to
establish state title to the offShore
lands within the states historic
boundaries. 1t would substitute
provisions to give the federal gov
eminent title to the lands, with
371s per cent Of revenues from
offShore developments in the mar
ginal sea going to the coastal
states.
Backers of federal control, while
conceding they are outnumbered
2-1 by senator's fayoring state con-
troll, have held The floor in long
speeches which they contend are
designed. not as filibusters, but to
educate the public"
Taft has threatened around. the.
clock meetings as routine begin
ming tomorrow unless there is
early agreement on a date for final
voting. He laid he might move to
keep the Senate in session next
Sunday.
Once the Anderson amendment
is disposed of, Taft said yesterday,
he win call for votes on amend
ments by Senators Hill DALAI
and Malone (R-Nev).
Hills proposal would 20 a step
beyond Anderson's by providing
that federal royalties from oil in
the submerged lands be set aside
for aid to schools. Malone' S
amendment would give the states
title to mineral rights on most
federal public lands within their
boundaries.
Opponents of state ownership
had strategy caucus scheduled
today, but Hill said he doubted
they would be willing to quit talk
ing right away. Taft said yester-
day there was no press Of legis-
lation for the next two weeks but
he felt the bills opponents were
''rather inclined to be reasonable"
about ending the debate,
Anderson said on an NBC tele-
vision show last night he thinks
the state ownership bill win be
passed within the next two weeks.
But he predicted the Supreme
Court would upset such a law,
holding Congress has no right to
give away title to the lands.
