'Birdman' Seeks Publishing Right
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Robert Stroud, "The Birdman of Alcatraz," will appear at a U.S. District Court hearing here tomorrow on a complaint he has filed against the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Stroud, 73, seeks a restraining order against the bureau and three officials of the Hospital for Federal Prisoners at Springfield, Mo., where he is now imprisoned. The complaint concerns his attempts to publish further works on birds and their diseases and a series of books on penology.
Stroud alleged that the defendants in his complaint have abridged his rights by refusing to permit his attorney to negotiate for publication of a revised edition of his book on birds, first published in 1943.
STROUD, WHO has has spent 54 years in prison, also charged similar encroachments on his rights to publish a six-volume history of U.S. prisons. He said he was unable to submit the work to the Bureau for publication approval because he has only one hand-written copy.
U. S. District Judge William H Becker, who will conduct tomorrow's hearing, said he has ordered prison officials at Springfield to have the work copied for Stroud.
Becker said tomorrow's hearing will concern only Stroud's complaints and not his recent petition for a writ of habas corpus. In his petition, Stroud charged his imprisonment consisted of cruel and unusual punishment and, thus, was illegal.
HE BEGAN his study of birds and their diseases at Leavenworth and continued it when he was transferred to Alcatraz, where he spent much of his time in solitary confinement.
Stroud was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1916 for killing a guard at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan. He was serving a sentence for a slaying during a barroom brawl in 1909 at the time the guard was killed.
Stroud was transferred to the federal hospital here about two years ago when his health failed.
U. S. Atty, Russell Millin, who received Stroud's complaints, said the U.S. Parole Board conducted a hearing yesterday in Washington on Stroud's application for parole. But the results of the hearing will not be released for several weeks, Millin said.
PRINCETON, N. J. — (UPI) — Gov. Richard J. Hughes left his executive mansion yesterday and found another parking ticket on the windshield of his limousine.
This one was placed by Assembly Speaker Elmer M. Matthews to chide the governor about a ticket hung on his limousine Wednesday outside the statehouse. Matthews said it was one his wife received.
