England Refuses To Save Woman From Gallows LONDON OPi A beautiful, platinum blonde ex-model, Ruth Ellis, 28, lost her last chance Mon day to escape the gallows for murdering her lover. The home secretary turned down pleas for clemency on behalf of the di vorced mother of two. Her execution was fixed for 9 a.m. Wednesday at Holloway Pris on. She was resigned to her fate. Friends who visited her in the pris on's death row over the weekend said she told them: "I am quite content to die." Mrs. Ellis, mother of two young children, had refused to appeal personally from the verdict sen tencing her to be hanged for shoot ing her lover, 25-year-old racing motorist David Blakely, on Easter Sunday. She admitted firing six shots at him with intent to kill in a fit of jealousy after he jilted her. Fourteen women have been hanged for murder in Britain since the turn of the century but only two since world war 11. The Ellis case stirred debate in Britain over capital punishment especially the hanging of women witn scores or leading sociologists joining the appeal to save her.

Griggs told a news conference last night "others want to come out" of Red China but he would not name them. The Chinese, in announcing that the three Ameri cans and two Belgians would be turned loose, said any of the others could leave if they desired. At a news conference, the three Americans said that while war prisoners they had committed acts which made them afraid to return home in the prisoner ex change after the Korean fighting. None would say specifically what (hey had done, although Griggs spoke vaguely of writing an arti cle hostile to America. The three also pleaded youth stupidity and the appeal of clever Communist propaganda. A cimci decided not to go home a man decided to go home, " said Cowart, who earlier had been reported anxious to return to Japan rather than to the United Stales. Prefers Hitler to Rtds Cowart" generally was the spokesman for the trio. "I had communism placed be fore me," he declared, "but never accepted communism, 1 decided not to come home because of fear of political persecution, but I'm not afraid of that any more. I would sooner have Hitler coma back than have communism. Hit ler only destroyed the body but communism dcslroye the mind. The aociely of China is built on fear fear ot each mat) of the other." Griggs said he was one of 'tthoso poor fools who fell for" Red propaganda in the POW camp. But he said he no longer helicvos in communism "because 1 have now seen the contradictions between what they say and what they do." To questioning about their con duct in the POW camps, Cowart repeatedly replied: "we will wait betore answering that" . Farm Life "Hell" Cowart, Bell and Griggs, along with the two Belgians, went to a stale farm. The five were put to repairing the farm's 20-odd tractors. They were the only foreigners among 9ii0 Chinese workmen. "I can only descrihe life on the farm in one work hell. We were isolated, ate like dogs, slept in barns and there were no drinks," Cowart reported. He added that he was paid the equivalent of about $12 a month, with about half of it going for food, a third for ciragoltes and the rest for cloth ing and other necessities. On March 12, Cowart continued, the group derided "to start the struggle lo get out." Griggs said he and one ot the Relgains escaped from the farm but were captured and brought back. Bell said he at tempted suicide once because he had given up hope of getting away from the Reds. able drive of the sea. You put out the fire by building your own breakwater. That was the initial step to the present harbor. With it and later developments, Patterson said the people of the area had constructed "not a monumeni, dui a piay eround for the state of Oregon.' He concluded: "You have made Oregon a more beautiful place." Co-operation Te Continue Other speakers taking part In the dedication were: News-Review Editor Charles V. Stanton, State Rep. John Amacher, County Judge Carl C. Hill, 0. H. Hinsdale, Coast guardsman Arleigh Jensen and Col. J. U. Moorhead of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Stanton traced the history of the harbor. Judge Hill joined in with the statement: "This is a proud day for Douglas county. Hill said the project is one "talk ed and dreamed of for many years." He called the mooring basin, the "second phase of the project." He praised the initiative and industry of the lower Umpqua area residents. Finally, he promised the county court would "co-operate. . .in any further development." Federal Aid Expected One of the proudest on the ros ter of speakers was home (owner Hinsdale. He pointed almost glee fully at the basin which he said had been a former mud flat. He emphasized the swiftness in com pleting the project by reporting the cmintv court hadn't been approach ed until April. "It was built and completed before the budget was okayed," ne Deameo. Hinsdale Droudlv pointed at the 3,000-foot breakwater which shel ters 75 acres of land and water in the Salmon Harbor area. He said 25 of those acres had been improved and some $250,000 of pub lic money had, been spent. That means, he said! the completion of development will cost approximat ely mree-quariers oi a minion, "I feel it is reasonable to as sume that when we have the com pleted project half paid for, the federal government will put up the rest," he concluded. On the subiect of federal mon cy, Col. Moorhead drawled that "I have every nope mis year uncie Sam is coming across with money for the authorized projects here." He said this would allow deep ening of the entrance and turning basin and improvement of the inner training jetty. Amacher. chairman of the Doug las County Parka Board, told of some of the recent legislation af fecting Salmon Harbor and then made tills heartening prophecy: "I feel that with proper manage ment we will have a good fishery here for many years." Representation Notable Represented at the dedication and the banquet afterward were a host of groups interested in the harbor improvement. Beside the Corps of Engineers, James Howland of the engineering firm of Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merryfield attended as well as Sen. William Walsh of Coos Bay and Rep.
