Thornton Lauds,
Condemns State
Press Policies
PORTLAND i. Atty. Gen.
Robert Y. Thornton told the Wil

that Oregon's press has failed to
show any editorial policy on "free
liquor by the case, football blan
kets and TV sets in the OLCC in
Salem."
He had reference to charges he
has made of irregularities i n
Oregon Liquor Control Commission
matters.
Thornton said the lack of policy
was in marked contrast to that
which the press displayed during
the Truman administration on
charges of gifts of mink coats and
deep freezes. i
He added, though, that despite
editorial stands, the state's press
is fair in its news coverage, citing
the Neuberger-Cordon campaign.
He said Neuberger was fairly
treated in news columns despite
lack of support on editorial pages.

Psychiatrist
Denied Access
To Graham
DENVER Ufi Dist. Judge Ed
ward T. Keating Wednesday re
fused a psychiatrist's permission
to enter county jail to examine
John Gilbert Graham.
The 23-year-old Graham is ac
cused of murder in a dynamite
plot that killed his mother and 43
others in the explosion-crash of
a United Air Lanes plane near
Longmont, Colo., Nov. 1.
Judge Keating overruled an
earlier directive by safety man
ager Edward O. Geer in which
Geer consented to let a psychiatrist
examine Graham at the request
of two attorneys.
Keating described such consent
as being "out of order" in the
case.
"The two attorneys have entered
the case at their own request for
one special purpose," he said,
"and that is to obtain adequate
defense counsel for Graham. Their
actions are to be confined to that
purpose only."
Jerome Strickland and Frank
Hays, who have represented Gra
ham and his family tm other legal
matters, previously announced
they would not represent him in
his pending murder trial.
Graham's mother, Mrs. Daisie
King, 54, was aboard the plane
that burst to pieces over a beet
field. He has repudiated in news
interviews a report by federal of
