Jury Clears
Man In Death
Of Infant
OAKLAND. Calif. (UPD A
jury of nine men and three wom
en acquitted Robert A. Jamison
Tuesday of charges he fatally
heat his 18-month-old stepson in
Alameda, Calif., two years ago.
The jury returned the verdict
after 5'i hours of deliberation.
Jamison, 21. a former circus
roustabout, contended that the
child, Ronald Weber, fell down a
flight of stairs and suffered fatal
injuries when he tried to adminis
ter artificial respiration
His wife, Nellie, 20, had
charged that he beat the child
to death for crying. She turned
him in last October, a year after
the boy s death. j
Jamison, who stood tensely as
the jurors filed in, slumped with
relief when the verdict was an
nounced. He lowered his head and
murmured, "thank you," to Pub
lic Defender George Nye, who
was standing beside him.
"I never felt more relieved in
my life," Nye said after the
verdict. "I was positive Jamison
wasn't guilty."
Jamison expressed no bitterness
towards his now-divorced wife,
who was in Bellingham, Wash.,
Tuesday with her sole surviving
child, Johnny Jamison, 2.
J don't know just what I m
going to do now," Jamison said.
"But I m going to try to get my
son back."
No Relatives Among 'Intern
Workers' In Official's Office
By FRANK ELEAIER
UPI Staff Writm-
WASIIINGTOM (VPU Rep.
Ken Hechler iD W.Va.l, who is 44
and a bachelor, wants it known
he has no relatives on his con
gressional payroll.
All that mob of beautiful girls
and studious boys at work in his
office are no kin to Hechler. Be
sides, most of them aren't on the
payroll.
They work free, and fight for
the chance to do so. Some come
from high schools and others
from college. They call them
selves interns in government
Hechler, you may recall, is the
Ph.D. and political science profes
sor who decided last year to put
to the test what he had taught
so many years on how to get
elected to office.

kia Minister of Agriculture Lubo
mir Strougal Tuesday night ap

"help bring in the harvest" be

farm workers. Strougal warned
that Czechoslovakia faced a "crop
disaster" unless more farm help
was recruited.
A in the campaign and graduated
him right into Congress. But it
turned out he didn't leave all the
students behind.
Now he is one member of Con
gress who can't afford to com
plain that there's not enough help.
One more volunteer assistant in
Suite 137 of the old House office
building and Hechler would have
to give up bis chair.
That cbair is all he can claim
for his own now, and even that
sometimes is kept warm in his
absence. When 1 dropped in to see
the beautiful girls, on the pretext
of writing a piece about Hechler,
somebody was otit for the day,
and this was fortunate, since 1
hate to talk standing up.
Ptnonnel Not In Wy
"So tar," kaid llcclilcr, a quiet,
spectacled, thoughtful type who
might easily be mistaken for a
professor of political science,
"they haven't got in my hair. Of
course 1 haven't got much to get
in. As a matter of fact, they'we
all been a big help. You might
think the place looks confused
and sometimes it is. But it's in
teresting" Every House memler can hire
eight assistants, and charge their
pay to the taxpayers. Hechler us
ually has maybe 10 more work
ing for experience, excitement,
and love of the Job. As of Wednes
day, he thought he had 20, all
told.
His letterheads list his regular
helpers, as do those of many
other members of Congress. Be
low the names he had, added
"li anv volunteer help can
get' .'
He doesn't really mean this. So
many high school students back
in his district wanted to spend a
week in his office this summer
he ran essay contests last rpring
in each of the district's 10 coun
ties. A boy and girl each w ere se
lected from each by boards of
three local judges.
Htchltr Pays Fare
Hechler pays their train fare to
and from Washington. The kids
live here with families who are
members of the West Virginia
State Society. Hechler gives each
volunteer $2U as spending money.
Between office chores, they and
"their seniors from places like
Marshall College, Cornell. Welles
ley, and Williams visit the White
House, watch House and Senate
In notion, and see the Washing,
ton sights. 'K" 17 year old c4

Each week Hechler lines u
some public figure for his helpers
to interview for TV. Wednesday
they questioned Bob Kennedy,
counsel to the Senate Labor Rackr
ets Committee.
"It's been everything I expect
ed and more," said Barbara Car
penter. 17. a brunette beauty frorQ
Spencer High School in Roane
County. W. Va.
That's about what they all saiil,
including congressman Hechler.
He has decided in fact that

are willing, he will make a career
out of it. I
