ARE Gazette Times, Corvallis, Oregon, Thursday, August 17, 1961 Gazette One Year After U-2 Pilot Francis Making Envelopes MOSCOW (UPI)-Francis Gary Powers went on trial in Moscow exactly one year ago today on charges by the U.S.S.R. that he committed espionage by flying over Russia in a U2 plane May 1, 1960. Today, the American pilot marked his 32nd birthday and the anniversary of the start of the trial by making envelopes in relatively modern Vladimir Prison miles east of this capital. Vladimir Prison, along the Trans-Siberian Railroad tracks where Russian prisoners once marched east with heavy iron balls chained to their ankles, cannot be called a resort. But it gives the former a year U2 flier comforts that few Soviet prisoners enjoy.

othere Reds turned Vladimir into their "showcase" jail many years ago and filled its cells with top political prisoners and captured Nazi field marshals. Powers is allowed to correspond with and received gift packages from his wife, Barbara, 26, and Claude Rowland Dies In Salem Claude Lafayette Rowland, 86, Corvallis died Tuesday in a Salem hospital following an extended illness. Born in Indiana in 1875, he lived there until 1891 when the family moved to Texas. At age of 25, he moved to Vancouver, and in 1900, was married to Anna K. Bougher at Albany.

The couple resided in Albany until 1923 when they moved to Corvallis. Mrs. Rowland died last January. Survivors include three sons, John Washington, D. Marquis San Bernardino, and Roy F.

Rowland, Corvallis; two daughter, Harriet Rowland, Portland, and Mrs. Delbert (Martha) Flint, Republic, Wash. Funeral services will be held on Friday at 1 p.m. at the DeMoss-Durdan Funeral Home with Rev. James W.

Like the other prisoners, he has no radio or television, but the job of making envelopes is considered a privilege for which prisoners must receive permission. Every 10 days, he gets fresh underwear, a shower, linen and a shave. He can supplement his prison diet with purchases at the commissary.

There is no prison chaplain. Inmates can take their personal problems to a political officer instead. Repeated U.S. Embassy requests to see Powers have been refused. Powers will become eligible for parole after serving two-thirds of his 10-year sentence.

Occasional reports aboard that he might be freed sooner appear groundless. Injuries Escaped In Truck-Car Crash The sheriff's office reported yesterday that an 86-year-old man escaped injury when his car was crashed into by a logging truck in front of Ehry's auction on Highway 99-W south of Corvallis. The aged man, James Wilmer Goode of Salem, had with him his daughter, Virginia Majors, 65, of Idaho. Their car and the logging truck, driven by Robert Eugene McCombs for Fenner Logging Philomath, both were headed south. The truck was passing Goode's car when he made a left turn into the auction house drive, according to the sheriff's report.

Goode's car wound the ditch with its fuel tank punctured. Otherwise damage was relatively slight, it was said, and no injuries resulted.

NO DO JUNES -TO MAN ONe COLOR De LUNE Washington Mills' Pollution Affacked OLYMPIA (UPI) The Washington Pollution Control Commission charged Wednesday that four large lumber and paper mills spill more wastes into the state's rivers than would a city of five million people. The commission made the charge in a statement announcing that nine of the state's lumber mills have protested "clean up" orders issued by the commission last May.

Only the Crown Zellerbach Corporation mill at Port Angeles did not protest new commission rules governing the amount of waste a lumber or pulp operation can dump into rivers. The statement claimed the Scott Paper Company, Everett; Weyerhaeuser Company, Everett; Puget Sound Pulp and Timber, Bellingham, and Rayonier, Port Angeles, put out more pollution than would a city with a population more than twice that of the state. Other companies to protest the "clean up" decree were Coos Bay Pulp Corporation, Anacortes; Boise Cascade Draft Wallula; Simpson Lee Paper Company, Everett, and Inland Empire Paper Company, Millwood. Commission Director Wallace W. Bergerson said he was ready to fight the lumber companies.

He said their protest "places the commission's entire pollution control program on trial." He said if the commission is unable to enforce its rules against the mine companies it will have difficulty making them stick at all.

Space Probe Test Failure CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -The Air Force launched today a man" space probe that may become the key to high altitude nuclear blast detection but the flight apparently failed because of a communications blackout. Shortly after the four -stage rocket blasted off the cape, the Air Force announced that radio contact was lost during fourthstage burning.

As the hours passed after the launching without re-establishing contact with the probe, it was indicated that the test would have to be put down on the failure side. The rocket itself apparently was soaring, as planned, on a voyage that would carry its space package 140,000 statute miles into space-the deepest space probe to date using a solid fuel projectilebut without radioing back the vital information. Its mission was to study proton and neutron distribution above the Van Allen radiation belts. The 27-pound package of instruments was plotted for a voyage. Although it was not an orbital shot, it was to achieve somewhat the effect of orbiting.
