No Hearing For Jeannace WASHINGTON (AP) — Con victed murderer Jeannace June Freeman. 21, under death sen tence in Oregon, was refused a hearing by the Supreme Court Monday. She was convicted of throwing a 6-year-old boy to his death in Crooked River Canyon in central Oregon. The boy’s 4-year-old sis ter was also killed. An attorney for Miss Freeman, Philip A. Levin, said in Portland that it was not known what course would be taken now. If no further appeals are made, presumably she would be taken to circuit court at Madras, where she was convicted, to hear the setting of her execution date. Miss Freeman would be the first woman executed in Oregon. Gov. Mark Hatfield has said previously that he would not overturn executive procedure by granting executive clemency. Miss Freeman’s conviction was upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court which said it was the state’s theory that the children were killed, in 1961, because they were bothersome to the lesbian rela tionship of the two women In her appeal to the U.S. Sp preme Court, Miss Freeman said she had not been arraigned promptly before a magistrate after her arrest; statements ob tained from her during illegal detention were used in evidence; and she was deprived of aid of a lawyer when the statements were obtained.

Dominicans Move Back SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINI CAN REPUBLIC (UPI)—Reports from Santo Domingo say Domini can troops, armor and war planes are being pulled back from the Haitian border.

President Kennedy, the Penta gon announced, has sent three thousand army troops to Maxwell Air Force base about 80 miles southeast of Birmingham, and to Fort McClellan, about 50 miles east of Birmingham. Two senior Army officers are in Birmingham making prepara tions for any military action that might be needed. Pres. Kennedy has given his as surance, however, tnat the sol diers will not be moved into Birmingham as long as law and order are maintained But a state federal court fight may be shaping up over the rac ial crisis. President Kennedy appealed to Alabama Governor George Wai lace for “constructive coo’se ;. tion" in the issue so that federal troops will not have to be used to maintain law and order. Pres. Kennedy’s statement, in effect, rejected Wallaces conten tion that the Chief Executive has no authority to dispatch federal troops to Alabama Wallace has indicated he may go to court in a last-ditch fight to keep federal troops out of Birm ingham Referring to the three thousand riot trained combat equipped troops already moved into Alabama during the night, Wallace said, “We have plans to g't them oat They are here il legally.” »n replying to Wallace's con tontion.

Wallace promptly sent the president a telegram today disputing the President s insistence he has authority to act. Hut a White House spokesman said the second telegram would not he answered He said, ‘ We consider our wire a reply to both (Wallace) telegrams." Wallace accused President Ken nedy of threatening to send sol diers to Birmingham to, in his words, "Enforce a worthless agreement made by a so called hi racial committee" which be says has no legal status The agreement to gradually de segregate department stores in downtown Birmingham was an nounced last Friday by integra tion leader I>r.
