Langlie Mon day asking a full pardon for a Seattle woman whom psychia trists say is innocent of a slaying she confessed. The petition, asking freedom for Mrs. Violet Marie Sill, 37, had 1 the backing of the judge who sen tenced her to prison and the for mer chairman of the State Board of Prison Terms and Paroles. It was prepared by Mrs. Sill's attorney, David Weyer, who said it followed a two-year investiga tion and included reports of ex tensive examinations by psychia trists and tests by police ballistics experts. Mrs. Sill was arrested July 11, 1954, after her husband, Marion, was found shot to death in their home here. Police said the wo man told them she had killed her husband, then turned the shotgun on herself in an unsuccessful at tempt to take her own life. Mrs. Sill was charged with sec ond degree murder. A Superior Court jury, after 26 hours of de liberation, found her guilty of manslaughter and Judge Frank D. James sentenced her to a max imum of fiva years in the peni tentiary. Weyer said he was convinced of Mrs. Sill's innocence, despite her repeated protestations of guilt and, with the backing of Dr. Nor man Hayner, former parole board chairman, persuaded her to take truth serum tests at the peniten ' tiary. Under the influence of sodium amytal. a so-called truth serum, Mrs. Sill sobbed out a different story, Weyer said, telling psychia trists her husband had shot her twice and was killed when she grabbed the butt of the shotgun and it discharged in his face. Utilities Seek Aid In Removing Roadside Lines PORTLAND 11 The state Highway Commission was asked here by public and private util . ities for help in providing finan cial aid for relocating the utilities' roadside lines. ' The utilities pointed out that some of their facilities will have to be moved when the federal gov ernment's huge road construction program gets under way. , The federal road-bill permits some financial aid to the utilities when their lines have to be moved, providing such payment is not in violation of state law. In Oregon such payment would be il legal. A delegation, made up of repre sentatives from private power firms, gas and telephone compan ies and public utifty districts, asked the commission for help in changing this law. Commissioners said they would give the matter "a lot of thought" but added that any state pay ments for relocation of utility fa cilities would reduce the amount of money to be spent for actual highway construction. A spokesman for the utilities said that if the utilities do not get financial aid they might be forced to pass on the additional expense to the consumer. TO ACCEPT REFUGEES CANBERRA Ifl Australia and New Zealand have opened their gates to 3,500 Hungarian refugees. Immigration Minister Athol Town Icy told the House of Representa tives Australia would admit 3,000. Prime Minister Sidney Holland said in Wellington that New Zea land would offer homes and jobs for up to 500. It said "all firm and intprrunt- ible loads will be carried in Ore gon, Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana."

BPA said that these projects will add 2,363,250 installed kilo watts cn completion. An additional 18 projects under construction or licensed for con struction by non-federal agencies such aa public utility districts and private utilities would provide an installed capacity of 4,147,000 kilo watts, BPA reported.

Coil Street ROSEBURS, OREGON projects are currently under con sideration and would add another 5Vi ' million, kilowatts, the report stated. Administrator William Pearl said, "Cooperation of Pacific Northwest utilities and the federal government in moving to meet the region's power needs has already rolled back anticipated 1961-62 power deficits three years to 1964- 65 under critical water condi tions." The report added that there will be "an approaching dependence upon steam-electric generation at Rebuilding Plan Offered Young GOP Of Oregon BEND Ufi The important thing for the Republican party in Ore gon "is to look forward to rebuild ing rather than stewing over mis takes of the past," State Sen. Mark Hatfield said here. - Hatfield, newly elected Repub lican secretary of state, listed for the Oregon Young Republican Fed eration a three-point program to "revitaliie" the party. He said the Republicans, which lost heavily in the last, election, must do these things: 1. Rebuild with idealism not upon organization or personalities alone but upon what the individual cooperation citizen expects of his government. 2. Seek out young, intelligent, articulate candidates for public and party responsibilities who are in step with the thinking of their fellow citizens. 3. Translate President Eisen hower's "modern Republicanism" into a constructive and progres sive program for the people of Oregon. ' Hatfield, former . dean of students at Willamette University in Salem, said Oregon Republi cans must "provide constructive whenever possible. constructive opposition wherever necessary while avoidmg embit terment. Thelma Fowler, Eugene, was elected chairman before the close of the annual meeting and C.R. Newman, Coos Bay, was named co-chairman. Harvey Osborne, Portland, was elected national committeeman; committeewoman; William My ers, Tillamook, vice chairman; Veldis V. Pavlovskis, Portland, treasurer; Ann West, Salem, secretary. about the time the principal proj ects listed are completed Nuclear plants of a size and cost to compete with the hydroelectric plants under active consideration must probably await another dec ade or more of engineering de velopment." The fiscal section of the report repeated last year's statement that "in due course it may be necessary to make an upward ad justment in the rate level." This action reported that net 30, 1955, were $110,079,734, and that the system was "well ahead" of scheduled repayment require ments. Bonneville Dam was about $9,300,000 ahead of schedule and the BPA system about $53,000,000 ahead.

Com mercial loads are expected to in crease about 25 per cent and use per customer oy 66 per cent. Large industrial loads are ex pected to grow from the 19 billion Kilowatt hours in 1955 to 32 billion in 1965. The report said progress was being made on terms under which BPA will transmit power from non-federal projects. The agency will transmit most of the power from Priest Rapids, the City of Tacoma's Mossyrock project, and the Pelton project of the Portland General Electric Co.
