Newspaper Page TextWriter-Slayer Would Finish Second Novel t - By GEORGE COFFEY (I'nitcd Ptcsi SUff Correspondent) Statesman, Salem. Ore., Wad., July 21, 1354 (Sec 1) 3 Clearance 0 ' SAN QUENTIN Calif. (UJO Caryl Chessman, the only best- selling author in America who is under a sentence of death, is hop ing for just a little more time. He wants, to finish his second novel Chessman, whose "book "Cell 2455 Death Row" was .widely ae claimed by critics and became a best seller, said in a death-row Interview his new work was about 80 per cent completed. . i absolutely refuse to resign myself to the Hde that I must: die," he said. "I'm not giving up i not after all this." Chessman, who was condemned under California's "Little Lind-i bergh' law after his conviction on 17 counts of kidnapping, robbery and rape, has lived in a tiny death , row cubicle equipped only with a1 cot and toilet stool for the past six years.' . ( . His first execution . date was called off 'by a last-minute stay .in 1952. The second was set for last May 14 but postponed by a stay, and the date finally was re set for July 30. Chessman asked the State Supreme Court again last Friday for another stay. The 32-year old convict is a self admitted "criminal . psycho path" but he emphatically denies that he committed the crimes for which he was condemned to die. Chessman chain-smoked ciga rettes as he leaned forward to speak through the fine wire mesh partition during an interview. His jet black hair was highlighted by the ashen' pallor . of his face as he explained why staying alive "is more important than ever now." Chessman said the success of his . fir sV novel written to stimulate an hlightened public attitude" to ward the problem . of crime, - had inspired him to do more writing. "Peing a good writer is more important to me than anything, because through writing I know I could do a tremendous amount of constructive) work," he said. "I've got ti live. I've got to be allowed to write and tell about what can happen to a young kid's mind and put him: where I am today." ' Chessman said "Trial By Or deal" would be "the story of death - row ana capital puoisnmeni. Chessman said the new book, if his life is spared and he is al lowed to complete it, would con stitute his "subjective reaction" to1 the events that saw him develop from a juvenile delinquent into an adult criminal. . i U.S. Naval Craft Leave Manila Bay MANILA . (UP) The American aircraft carriers Boxer and Hor net and four escorting destroyers left Manila Bay Tuesday for, "oper ations at sea," it was learned. A spokesman for the U. S. Naval station at Sangley Point said the information "operations at sea" came from the commander of the U. Vlst fleet -There was speculation that the carriers, which left before their scheduled departure, were en- route to Indochina to participate in evac uation operations. - Another carrier, , the Tarawa, meanwhile, steamed into Manila Bay Tuesday. The Sangley Point spokesman admitted that the itinerary of the six warships was under a "secur ity blackout." - . - Pool Opened For Negroes In Oklahoma CLINTON, Okla. (UP) The municipal swimming pool was opened this week for use by Neg. roes, and eight teen-agers immed iately swam there. . A. E. Potter, superintendent of the pool, said pool attndance was normal, although ' it was the first time Negroes had used the pool since it was opened in 1936. Potter said pool workers were ordered not to discriminate against anyone and to throw out "white or colored" troublemakers. CSnton, in West Central 'Okla homa is made up of about 7000 whites and 1000 Negroes. Medfprd Mill Strike Settled MEDFORD (UP)-Settlement of . the strike of AFL Lumber and Saw mill workers at two Medford mills was reported here by company- spokesmen.
