Push Anti-Polio Project
WASHINGTON WV-President Eisenhower Monday asked Con
gress for 30 million" dollars to carry forward the polio program, 28
million of it to insure that poor children get their shots of the
Salk vaccine. ;
The other two million dollars would go. to take precautions
against blackmarketing. of the vaccine and for the hiring of more
health personnel to test the prod
uct "for safety and potency. ;
Eisenhower acted after putting
his approval on a report by Secre
tary of Welfare Hobby, asking for
financial aid and lor reliance on a
voluntary system ' of distributing
the vaccine. . .
After presenting r her. report to
the President Mrs. Hobby went
before the Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee, where she ran
into some critical questioning from
Sen. Lehman (D-NY), '
Plaa Said Delayed
Lehman told her the administra
tion should have been ready .with a
distribution plan April 12. when
the vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas
Salk was approved.
think you are a long way as
yet even now, from having adopt
ed something that wiH be really
effective": the New Yorker. told
her. . "
, Mrs. Hobby replied that all vac
cine now. available is going to the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, for use in its program
of free inoculations of first and
second graders. N
Voluntary Plan Waits
. She said the voluntary plan will
take over when additional vaccine
is on hand, and insisted that
There is no other system that
could be devised that could do the
job as fairly and effectively."'
The shortage of vaccine now, she
said, "is tremendous.
Sen. Morse. (D-Qre) repeated his
demand for federal control of dis

44-year-old Casper A. Oveross Monday for' the gun slaying of his
one-time neighbor Ervin Kaser three months ago tonight
, Oveross, who was arrested and freed of the charge of first
degree murder shortly after the night-time shooting, was expected
to be taken into custody again today in Northern California whert
he is reportedly visiting rela-1
tives
Kaser, a Silverton area hop
farmer, was slain Feb. 17 by a
rifleman who pumped four well
aimed shots Into his automobile
a few seconds after he had ar
rived at bis home on. the Cascade
Highway two miles south of Sil
verton. One of the bullets struck
Kaser . in the , left side, killing
him instantly. '
Trial Date Undecided
How soon Oveross could be
brought . to trial was undeter
mined here Monday night. If he
is arrested in Oregon he can be
returned here immediately for
arraignment If he is arrested
in California it will take extradi
tion proceedings to have him
turned over to Oregon authori
ties. He may either waive or
fight extradition. If he chooses
to fight extradition it may take
several days of legal, maneuver
ing to force his return,
It apparently took the grand
jury only a few minutes to reach
its decision for indictment after
beginning deliberations. Jurors
filed into Circuit Judge George
Duncan's courtroom just after. 5
p.m. Monday, shortly after hear
ing the last of 20 witnesses called
by District Attorney Kenneth O.
Brown.
New Evidence '
Brown ' had announced last
Thursday that he would ask the
jury - to 'return' a first, degree
murder indictment against Over
oss on the basis of new evidence
centering around discovery of a
rifle in Pudding River. The
rifle, a 30-30 Winchester hunting
gun, was f dund by 12-year-old
Larry Wacker of Salem near the
bank of the river about five road
miles from the scene of the slay
ing. It had apparently been
tossed . there from a nearby
bridge.
Ballistic tests proved the gurt
to be the murder weapon,- accord
ing to Brown and police. .They
said it could be linked to Oveross
who reportedly purchased a gun
of that description from a Sil
verton hardware store in 1949.
S-Menth Probe
Sheriff Denver Young, who
with state poliee officers has led
the three-month-long - investiga
tion of the crime, was first of the
20 witnesses called by Brown
Monday. Following Young into
the grand jury room, during the
morning were Dr. Homer Harris,
head of the state crime labora
tory at Portland, Mr. and Mrs.
Emmanuel Kellerhals, who reside
across 'the highway from Kaser's
home and were apparently the
only witnesses to ' the starlight
slaying, and Silverton police offi
cer James Painter.
Among witnesses during the aft
ernoon were Melvin Kaser and
Harvey Kaser, brothers of the
slain man and both residents of
the Evergreen . community where
the crime was committed. Also
appearing were Gerald Hoyt, Mrs.
Jennie Gilham, Daniel Gilham,
Robert Barnes, Mrs. Ethel Over
oss, former , wife of the suspect
Jeff Kaser, young son of Harvey
Kaser, Charles Hopkins, Wayne
Moore, Mrs. Marian Zahler, Offic
er Lloyd Riegel of the State Police,
Ralph Prouty, ballistics expert
with the state . enme Laboratory,
Omer Bailey, and Rodney Luther.
1952 Trial
If Oveross is brought to trial it
will be the first murder trial in
Marion County since Albert
Karnes was convicted of the axe
slaying of Mrs. Susan Litchfield
in 1952. .
A possible motive for the Kaser
murder, .according to police, was
the separation and divorce W the
Oveross couple which Casper Over
oss had reportedly blamed on
Kaser. Kaser was also separated
from his wife and was reportedly
in trie company of Mrs. Oveross a
few hours before he was shot to
death.
Oveross was questioned at length
on the night of the slaying and at
that. time told police he did not
own a rifle.
The missing weapon hampered
police investigation and an ex
tensive search of creeks, ponds
and other, possible hiding places
was made in the area. Its discov
ery apparently held the key to the
grand jury indictment for an
earlier grand jury" declined to in
dict Oveross on the basis of evi
dence then presented and he was
freed to continue his occupation as
carpenter.

About ten days ago a day or
two before the gun was found
Oveross reportedly left for Cali

Plea to Leave
District Attorney Kenneth Q. ,'
Brown said Monday he did not
feel he would be justified in step
ping aside as prosecutor of Casper
Oveross. indicted for the rifle slay
ing of Ervin Kaser. 1 -
Brown admitted that members
of the Kaser family had suggest
ed he turn the case over to a spe ,
cial prosecutor presumably be
cause all principals in the case in
eluding Brown are from the Sil
verton area.
"I feel I am qualified to try the
case. I do not feel that I am in
anyway prejudiced because I live
in ' Silverton inasmuch as ' I have
never to my knowledge so much
as met the accused or the Tic
tim, Brown stated, r
Difficult Sitwittoa " t J
"I have been elected by the peo
ple to prosecute criminal actions
in Marion County, including Sil
verton, I hesitate to ask the coun
ty court to incur the expense of
hiring a special prosecutor. How
ever, the feeling of the relatives
creates a difficult situation and I
wish to consider the matter at
greater length
"At the present time, my general
feeling is that I would not be justi
fied in stepping out of the case
simply because I am from Silver
ton." . - .
Precedent Set ' ' "' V '
Once jo recent history has a dis
trict attorney of -the county dis
qualified himself as - prosecutor.
During the term of office of Lyle
J. (Barney) Page 17 years ago
in the case involving the county
treasurer, sheriff and county court
offices. Page disqualified himself
on the grounds he was the legal
advisor for those offices. The coun
ty court then appointed a special :
prosecutor to conduct the case.
Brown, said the only ways he
could be superceded in the- case
would be for him to voluntarily
step aside, or for the governor tar
ask the attorney general s office
to intercede as it did in last yearns
Lincoln County vice probes.
