Although some governors d i d
not answer a question asking if
they favored conference action on
a civil rights resolution, 14 said
they would support such a move.
To a question about support for
the Kennedy administration civil
rights package in Congress, 12
governors endorsed it, although
some said they favored it "in
principle or with reservations.
These 12. included the Demo

Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky,
Maryland, Minnesota, New Mex

Republican governors of New
York, Oregon and Rhode Island.
Other governors want the con

of issues such as Cuba, the fed
eral budget, unemployment, cur
tailing textile imports, juvenile
delinquency and federal regula
tion of boxing.

Air Force Launches
Secret Satellites
POINT ARGUELLO, Calif.
(UPI) Two secret satellites
were launched by the Air Force
Thursday, one of which provided
a spectacular display shortly aft
er dark that was visible in much
of Southern California.
Police and sheriff's telephone
switchboards were deluged with
calls in cities and communities
as far as 250 miles away.
The huge luminous teardrop
shaped glow was caused by an
Atlas rocket carrying an Agena
space vehicle, but in keeping with
its policy of secrecy, the A i r
Force refused to say even if the
launch was a success.
However, a spokesman said
there had been no change in its
policy of informing news media
it a satellite launch vehicle is de
stroyed, indicating Thurs
day night's launch had not been
blown up because of a malfunc
tion.
A few hours earlier, the Air
Force announced it had launched
satellite employing a Thor-
Agcna booster combination from
adjacent Vandcnberg Air Force
Base. This combination was used
in the past to launch the Discov
erer series workhorses the Air
Force used to gather vital infor
nation on radiation and recovery
techniques.

Schwensen Defense
To Seek Reversal
Of Death Sentence
PORTLAND (UPI ) The Oregon
Supreme Court will be asked to
reverse the death sentence of
Richard B. Schwensen. convicted
in the air embolism death of
Portland housewife.
Schwcnsen's attorney, Charles
V. Elliott, said Thursday the fit
ing could result in the slate's first
recorded reversal of a first de
gree murder conviction
Schwensen, a 28-year-old former
Portland college student, was con
victed in the death of Mrs. Jean
Bussey. 29. an cast Portland
housewife whose body was found
in her parked car last September
a week after she disappeared.
Elliott said there was a major
flaw in the prosecution. He said
his brief for reversal will be
based on the stale s charge that
Schwensen caused the death of
the woman through forcible rape
which resulted in an air bubble
that reached the heart through
the bloodstream.
Evidence presented at Schwcn
sen's 10-day trial last year did not
support that allegation, Elliott
i said.
The attorney said he had been
assured by four authorities in the
field of forensic pathology that it
i would be impossible to detect air
embolism in the blood of a body
i that had heen dead for eight days.
Two Pathologist Testified
! Two ot the experts testified at
the trial. They were Dr. Charles
P. Larson, head of the Tacnma
General Hospital and Dr, Warren
(',. Hunter, of the University of
Oregon Medical School.
Elliott has also received corres
pondence supporting the conten
tion from Dr. Alan It. Moritz, pro
fessor of pathology at Western
Reserve University, Cleveland,
Ohio, and from Milton Helpern
crimes except murder showed in
creases during 12. Murder
dropped 2 per cent.
"The record shows police ef
fectiveness remains high despite
mounting crime work loads and
heavier demands for a wide vari
ety of increasing complex police
services, the rBl chief de
clared.
But he added that "law en
forcement machinery is impaired
and policing is hampered as a
result of increasing restrictions
being placed on enforcement op
erations. .
"The effectiveness of (police
work). . .depends to some extent
on the action ot the courts and
the success of the. correctional
process," he said, "but most of
all the degree to which the local
citizenry supports law enforce
ment.
"Positive action to reduce
crime," he said, "must begin
with the individual citizen."
Statistics in Hoover's report
showed forcible rape was up 2
per cent nationally during 1WI2;
robbery up 4 per cent, aggra
vated assault and burglary up 5
per cent, grand larceny up 8 per
cent and aulo theft up 9 per cent.
During 11)59, 1!K) and 1961,
crime in this country increased
13 per cent, the report showed.
Burglary, auto theft and grand
larceny led the increases with
13, 14 and 10 per cent respec
tively. The report said increases rang
ing from 5 to 11 per cent were
reported in the crime rates in
metropolitan areas while rural
counties generally reported a de
crease.
Persons under (he age of 18 ac
counted for C2 per cent of the
arrests for auto thefts, .11 per
cent for larceny, 49 for burglary,
25 for robbery, 19 for forcible
Judge Rejects
Freeman Appeal
SALEM (UPI)- A post-conviction
appeal by conviclcd murder
ess Jeannnee June Freeman was
denied by Marion County Circuit
Judge George A. Jones Thursday.
Her attorneys, Philip A. Levin
and Carl R. Neil, both of Port
land, said they would appeal
Jones' decision to the Oregon Su
preme Court.
Levin said that if the Oregon
court held against them they will
raise constitutional issues before
cither the U.S. District Court or
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Miss Freeman, 22, Culver, was
convicted in Madras in 1901 of
hurling Larry Jackson, 6, to his
death in Crooked River Gorge.
She was sentenced to die at the
State Penitentiary here on Aug. 1,
but-Judge Jones granted a stay of
execution July 10 to allow a hear
ing under the post-conviction act.
Another execution date probably
will not be set until the end of
what could be a lengthy series of
appeals.
Judge Jones, after more than
an hour of legal arguments, dis
missed the petition on the grounds
that it failed to raise any issues
appreciably different from thoso
which could have been raised on
Miss Freeman's original appeal
from the death sentence.
Levin and Neal said they would
file an amended petition within
until next week to clean up the
mess caused as the storm
knocked down power lines,
uprooted trees, broke storm win
dows and damaged at least three
haiifars.

bureau drawer.
A thunderstorm whipped north
eastern Massachusetts. The town
of Tyngsboro was without electri

On tho West Coast, the Califor-",
nia Institution of Technology's
seismological laboratory meas
ured tho seventh of a series of
earthquakes in the Southern Cali
fornia desert. None was largo
enough to cause damage.
Must of the rainfall was in the
Midwest. Reinbeck, Iowa, re

ville, Ala., got an estimated 4
