Killing of a 21 year old inmate
and wounding of three others, one
critically, was the tragic climax
of an outbreak at the state reform-
atory here in which prisoners
sought to bring a wide range of

grievances to public attention. the authorities.

Walter T. Lyshall was shot and
killed—whether by a reformatory
guard, the state patrol, or Snohom-
ish county sheriff’s deputies was

Mrs. Aasta Sunde of Seattle,
Lyshall’s mother, charged that
“there were trigger-happy men
behind those guns.”

“Why didn’t they use tear gas?”
she asked. “They use tear gas
against rioters in penitentiaries;
why did they shoot at young boys?”

“Why did they use the heads as
targets; if they did shoot, why not
aim at their legs?”

Young Lyshall had been at Mon-
roe since February 17, 1953, under
sentence of up to 10 years for car
theft, The parole-board had fixed
a three-year minimum. His mother
said he had been working hard to
learn a trade and that he had a
good prison record.

Hard facts of life”
confirm LPP policy, |
Phillips tells picnie

MISSION, B©:
More than 75 adults and their children attended the Mission LPP
picnic held at McGonnel Creek last Sunday. Frances Gilstead,
candidate for ‘Dewdney in the last provincial election, introduced Car:
Hilland, LPP standard bearer for Fraser Valley in the recent feder
election, who spoke briefly. :

Hilland told the audience that
“our party in the Fraser Valley is
stronger now than before the elec-
tions. We have won wide support
and recruited 10 new members.
The fight for our policies did not
end with the counting of the last
vote on August 10. Our fight to
Put.Canada First has only begun.”

Jack Phillips, well-known Van-
couver trade unionist, was the
guest speaker. He warned of .the
growing danger of a recession in
Canada and called for a break with
American domination as the only
way te avoid such a tragedy.

“A very potent group of allies
has come forward to support the
program and policies of the LPP,”
said Phillips, ‘They are the hard
facts of life. No Liberal majority
in Ottawa can wish away the fact
that we are going to have a bum-
per wheat crop this year, even
though we haven’t sold last year’s
crop yet. No shadow boxing by
the combined opposition in Ot-
tawa can hide the fact that Ameri-
can shares in Canadian enterprises
are being unloaded in New York,
because of the downward trend in
exports from the American conti-
nent. We must either break with
American domination or break
Canada. There is no middle road.

“There is a very serious illness
affecting certain people in Canada,
the red fever. Unlike polio, this
disease affects the rich more than

the poor. In its final stages; ra
disease destroys judgment, patti
ism and sanity.”
