Lane Senator Moves To End Death Penaltv By DAVE SANDS Assistant News Editor Oregon's youngest state .senator, Edward N. Fadeley, D-Lane, Thursday introduced two bills which may abolish capital punishment in the state. Fadeley, .'13, told the Emerald in an exclusive interview that his action is based upon his belief that “capital punishment is wrong.” The bills he introduced will, if successful, eliminate all mention of capital punishment from the state constitution, and make changes in the Oregon Jtevised Statutes fORS) providing life terms for those convicted of first degree murder. Discussing his philosophy regarding the death penalty, Fadcley said "legalized murder doesn’t seem to me to benefit society either morally or in an attempt to prevent illegal murder.” "A life is taken either way,” be said. Fadeley, a Eugene attorney, said, “As a lawyer, I appreciate the fact that a mistake can be made, and when capital punishment is used there is no recalling the mistake.” One of the bills Fadeley introduced in Salem late Thursday after noon will provide for repeal of Sections 37 and 38 of Article 1 of the state constitution Fadeley said the bill differ;, from one introduced by Sen Don Willner, I)-Portland, which also would abolish capital punishment, in that Ins bill will eliminate all mention of the penalty from the constitution Sections 37 and 38 provide for the death pen alty for first degree murder I’he other bill will change the OKS dealing with penalties for first and second degree murder. The hill changes the death penalty to life imprisonment and changes the penalty for second degree murder from life imprisonment to “not more than 25 years.” l irst degree murder is defined in the statutes as killing another person in the commission or attempt to commit rape arson, robbery or burglary, or the killing of any peace officer when the officer i;> acting in the line of duty, or any killing done “purposely, and of deliberate and premeditated malice " Second degree murder is described as killing another without pre meditation m the commission or attempt to commit any othn r felony, in a duel, or a killing done by a person "evincing a depraved mind." Senate Kills USNSaHI^H ■ ft 8 (C otiliimtd jrum 1'iii/r I) whole organization The senator said that the control of NSA was centered in the TiO member Na tional Kxecutive Committee which controls election, officer certifies tmn, and budget. The newest senator, McCall, op posed joining NSA because he said measures it passed were not effective in generating action Phil Sherburne, junior class president, said that student in volvement in political issues and exchange of ideas on a national basts should be the basis for con sideration of NSA membership He suggested that represents lives be elected from this campus to go to an NSA session so that the student body could decide on membership based on profit from membership, not statistics read from the groun's literature HAI L SOTO SEKLIG, a foreign student from Cuba who started circulating the NSA referendum petitions, spoke from the gallery in support of membership. He said that the number of rep resentatives the I'niversity would be allotted should not deter join ing NSA. “fine man. not six, can do a lot What can be done depends on that one man.” “NOT ALL foreign students are here just to study,” lie continued. "Some foreign students are here because of political crisis ” He said that the NSA support given certain foreign policy decisions had great effect on building friendship between the United States students and those in for eign lands. Mary Morrissey, sorority repre sentative, said that the student government at the University was in a transition period of philoso phy She said that membership in NSA should not be considered un til campus politics had taken a more international outlook Because of the long USNSA de bate, the Senate was forced to de lay discussion on a procedures bill and an ad hoc committee to study academic potential in dor mitories.

Fadeley is a 1957 graduate of the University School of I.aw. He received a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree, was a member of the “Order of the Coif” and was named to the School honor roll. He graduated from the University of Missouri in 1951 with an A B. Asid' from moral objections to the death penalty, Fadeley said, the death penalty is not evenly imposed. I don’t merely speak of the Freeman Nunez case, hut of the actual experiences in Oregon. Poor people are hanged or gassed or burned, persons of influence or wealth are not. ” •The Freeman Nunez ease involves a sentence of death for con victed child-slayer Jeannace Freeman, and of life imprisonment for her confessed partner-in crime and mother of the children. Mrs. Ger trude Nunez Jackson.) In reference to the case, Fadeley -aid, “I am not like some people who are against capital punishment only when the person awaiting fit) is not d: agreeable.” He added, “I do not think it deters the type of person who would commit such a crime.” He added "l expect it would be easier to bar capital punishment when there is not any outrageous murder immediately Infore the public.” The bill to amend the ORS would retain the death penalty in two_ instances. It recommends punishment “by death or life imprison* ment” for treason against the state, and for any person convicted of first degree murder while already serving a life sentence. Fadeley said the two bills he introduced are identical to those recommended to the 1961 Legislature by the Interim Committee on Criminal Law and introduced by Rep. George van Hoomissen, D Multnomah, and Sen. Carl H. Francis. R-Yamhiil, as a joint resolution. The bill failed to pass Neither man is a member of 1963 Legislature. The latest state-wide vote on the abolition of capital punishment to be permitted by the Legislature wa.- defeated in 1958. The vote was 276,487 to 264.434. It Fadeley s bills are successful in the legislature, the general election vote would be in 1964. CLASSIFIED ADS RATES: 5c per word first insertion: 3c thereafter.
