' It's getting that time ol year
again time to think about schools.
In another month the vast machin
ery ol the school system will re
sume alter the summer recess. The
wonder is that it can renew acti
vity with a minimum of clanking
and cranking.
The schools, especially the pub
lic schools, are very much with us.
They absorb so much of the lives
of children, and so much of the
taxpayer's dollar, that there is no
escape from thinking about them.
And one of the summer's articles
to stimulate that thinking is "An
Dncn Letter to Teachers." written
by a western educator, Prof. Paul
Woodrine of the Western Wash
ington College of Education, Bel-
lingham. " ttis approacn is auier
ent. Instead of taking a posture of
defense, shield on his arm and
sword raised to strike down, a foe,
Woodring welcomes critics of the
schools into his library, listens to
them and then makes some val
uable suecestions to members of
the teaching profession. The ra
tional critics (not the victims of
phobias) -offer these -complaints: '
1. That the public schools in a
democracy belong to the people
but that professional educators
have progressively preempted the
responsibility for policy-making.
2. That the philosophy of prag
matism (or instrumentalism or ex-
nerimentalism) which has come
almost completely to - dominate
educational thinking in "the Uni
ted States, is unacceptable to a
large number of Americans.
On the first point Woodring says
that while teaching methods may

Neutrons given off by atomic
splitting can be either "fast" or
"slowed down."

one operating with faster particles.
U.S., Britain
To Confer on !
Iranian Crisis '
WASHINGTON (JFhThe United
States and Britain, will seek a new
approach to the Iranian crisis In
consultations beginning Monday or
Tuesday on Iranian Premier Mo
hammed Mossadegh's latest pro
posal for oil negotiations with the
British. j
The question is: What to do
about Communist-threatened Iran
and how to strengthen the unpre
dictable Mossadegh's government i
as the best means of saving the '
country from the Russian bloc. It
is the foremost problem facing
Secretary of State Acheson upon
his return from the Pacific secur
ity conference in Hawaii. -i .
Information from top official
forces here and initial reaction of
London authorities is that Mossa
degh's unexpected note to London
on renewing oil negotiations
makes a completely unacceptable
proposition. ; f
He would eliminate the British
government from the talks and do
business on an unequal basis with
the British-controlled Anglo-Iranian
Oil Co.
He would also set up a list of
Iranian claims for payment by the
company which would virtually
wipe out the company's own
claims for compensation for prop
erty seized by Iran In March of
last year.

Ike Favors Social Security Expansion
':'.;.'
Stevenson to Seek to, Curb Filibuster
DENVER (P)- Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower called Saturday for
expansion of the social security
program to cover an additional 14
million persons and for increased
old age assistance grants.
And the Republican presidential
nominee was reported by three
Republican members of the House
to be much interested in their sug
gestion h that the scandal-ridden
Internal Revenue Bureau be re
moved m from jurisdiction of the
Treasury Department and given
independent status.
The three Congress members,
also discussed the social security
program with Eisenhower, and the
general later issued this statement:
"I am particularly concerned
about the present inadequacies of
the social security law and feel
strongly that the law ought to be
extended ' to present uncovered
persons.
Problem ef Aged
"One of the pressing problems
in the field of social security, both
on the merits and security, are the
old folks.
They have contributed so much
to America and we have a respon
sibility and obligation to see that
they receive adequate protection
in their old age. M
MI would support and press for
adoption of legislation designed to
lighten the burden of the high
cost of living on our senior citi
zens." James C. Hagerty, Eisen
hower's press secretary, said the
general had in mind increased old
age assistance grants in talking
about easing the financial burden
of senior citizens. I
Federal, State Funds !
Those grants -are made up of a
combination of funds from the
federaj government and the states.
Kean said the general's state
ment regarding expansion of the
social security program applied to
14 million individuals presently
not covered by the program. j
In that group, Kean said, are
professional people, migratory
farm workers, some part-time
household workers and several
other categories.
Before the conference with the
three House Republicans, Eisen
hower's headquarters announced
that the general will fly to Boise,
Idaho, Aug. 19 for a campaign
conference with the Republican
governors of 10 Western states,
including Douglas McKay of Ore

"This sort of thing aint good
By The Associated Press
Gov. Adlal E. Stevenson was
represented Saturday night as
likeU to use his influence, if elect
ed President to curb Senate fili
busters and then try to find some
way to bar 'racial discrimination
in hiring.
The appraisal of Stevenson's po
sition on civil rights came from an
authoritative source, who declin
ed to be quoted by name, at his
headquarters in Springfield, 111. It
bore out the impression which re
porters in daily contact with the
governor since his nomination have
gained, j
Such a position would put Stev
enson somewhat closer to that of
President Truman on civil rights
than he has thus far publicly stak
ed out-for himself. 5,
If it is borne out, and the source
was in a position to know Steven
son's views, such a stand seemed
likely to touch off new friction in
the South, whose leaders by and
large have indicated so far they
are more pleased with Stevenson
than they were with Truman four
years ago.
Southern members of Congress
regard as the. most objectionable
phase of Truman's civil rights pro
gram the proposal for a fair Em
ployment Practices Commission
which would have authority to en
force its orders against racial dis
crimination in hiring.
The Springfield source also de
scribed Stevenson as feeling that
he could make a substantial reduc
tion in the federal budget within
two years and probably cut taxes.
The Illinois governor was also
said to regard Eisenhower as a
formidable contender whom he
does not underrate. The source said
Stevenson in an old political
phrase is "running scared."

Verdict:
'Guilty of
Murder'
By Conrad Prange
Staff Writer, The Statesman
A Marion County Circuit
Court jury decreed Satur
day that Albert William
Karnes, 24 -year -old con
vict, should die for the slay
ing of Mrs. Susan Litch
field at her 1333 Waller St.
home June 7.
The iury returned the verdict of
murder in the first degree against
the slender Karnes in the fifth
day of trial and Judge George
Duncan set Tuesday at 10 a.m. for
official sentencing. According to
Oregon law the verdict automati
cally carries the death penalty.
In arriving at its verdict, first
such conviction in this county in
many years, the Jury of eight
women and four men turned down
Karnes' plea of innocence by rea
son of insanity.
Relatives Weep
When jury foreman Frederick R.
Manegre read the fate-sealing ver
dict Karnes maintained the same
stolid expression he has shown
during the course of the five-day
trial. His mother, Mrs. Roy War
ren of Astoria and young sister,
Miss Arvella Karnes, who have
attended the entire trial with
other relatives, broke down and
wept in the courtroom.
The solemn jury showed the
gravity of the decision when it
returned the verdict and Jurors
objected to having their pictures
taken by photographers. After the
verdict was read Judge Duncan
ordered the Jury polled. To the
question of the clerk as to whether
they concurred 'in the verdict each
juror answered, "yes," some in fal
tering voices.
The jury deliberated about three
and one-half hours and reached its
decision about 2:45 pjn.
Flea for Leniency
Before it began its deliberations
Saturday morning the jury heard
an eloquent ,plea for leniency
from Karnes hard-working attor
ney John William Stortz, who was
appointed by the court to defend
Karnes.
Stortz's closing argument dealt
mostly with attempting to nail
down proof of Karnes purported
mental deficiency. In a voice
which often dropped to a low, al
most pleading pitch, Stortz asked
the jury to consider a verdict
other than the death penalty.
He also insisted the state had
failed to prove either premedita
tion on the part of Karnes or that
Karnes committed the murder
while robbing the Litchfield home.
Ate Sandwich
Stortz pointed out how Karnes
had delberately prepared and
eaten a sandwich in the kitchen
of the Litchfield home only min
utes after he had slam the woman.
"Are those actions those of a sane
man?" he asked the jury.
District Attorney E. O. Stadter
Jr- who introduced an impres
sive array of evidence, mostly
based on Karnes' admissions to
officers, pegged Karnes as a
"criminal with a plan.
"You have here," Stadter told
the jury, pointing to the impas
sive Karnes,! "a master criminal,
a planner and a schemer of foul
deeds." Stadter added that the
defendant was "not insane, he just
doesn't have good sense. But that
should not excuse him from the
consequences of this act." . -
At the outset of the trial Stadter
asserted he was seeking the death
penalty.
Must 'Dethrone Reason'
In his instructions to the jury
Judge Duncan explained that not
every degree of Insanity will ex
cuse liability for a crime in Ore
gon. He said there must be evi
dence of insanity in the accused
so strong that it "dethrones rea
son" and renders him "incapable
of knowing right from wrong."
Probable climax in the - trial
came Friday when defense wit
ness Dr. B. F. Williams, psychia
trist who examined Karnes, ad
mitted .under cross - examination
by Stadter that even though
Karnes is "emotionally imma
ture," he is not insane. The doctor
also said Karnes was capable of
determining right from wrong.
Karne's conviction ends a dra
matic chain of events which began
Sunday, June 8, when the brutally
beaten body of Mrs. - Litchfield
was discovered t in the woodshed
of her home by : Harold Shell, a
roomer. v
Ended at The Dalles
With very few positive clues to
operate with city and state police
began an intensive search for the
unknown killer. The search ended
1Q days later in The Dalles when
tall, slim Albert Karnes confessed
to the Litchfield slaying. (Addi
tional detaila oa page 2.) -

LEBANON An automobile ca
reened off the highway Saturday
night - about five miles north of .
Lebanon killing the driver in
stantly, and sending two others to
Lebanon Hospital.
Killed was Arthur John Backen,
