Graham Loses
Ground in Plea
For Execution
By GORDON G. CAISS
DENVER UP- -John Gilbert Gra
ham, convicted of committing mur
der by Mowing up an airliner, lost
jrround Tuesday in his stubborn
demand that he be executed as
soon as possible.
"I don't want any part" of an
appeal, declared the stolid Graham
before the judge who sentenced
him to die in Colorado's gas cham
ber during the week of Aug. 26 for
dynamiting an airliner whose 44
passengers were killed.
But Judge Joseph M. McDonald,
who had sentenced the 24-year-old
man, ordered the court appointed
attorneys to ask the Colorado Su
preme Court what should be done,
This order, unprecedented in Col
orado court history, "amounts to
an appeal for all practical pur
poses," said Charles S. Vigil, a de
fense attorney.
Convicted tt Marder
Graham, had been convicted of
murder for the death of his moth
er, Mrs. Daisie E. King, one of 43
who died in the explosion and
flaming crash of a United Air Lines
plane near Longmont, Colo., last
Nov. 1.
"I accept the verdict of the jury
and desire that it be carried out
with convenient speed," Graham
said after his conviction 10 days
'ago and he stuck to that line all
through today's court appearance
for sentencing.
Without a change of expression,
Graham told the court Tuesday,
I "I don't see why I should have to
! make a political rally or some
; thing out of this. I don't see why it
; can't stop right here.
' "I believe I had as fair a trial
! as could he had under the circum
stances." he said.
Judge McDonald, probing for
reasons for the demand for execu
tion, asked Graham if his being
against an appeal is the result of
"consciousness of guilt and feeling!
you should have to pay the pen-1
ally?" I
Na Expression j
"No," answered Graham short
ly. His face was expressionless, as
it was all during his 17-day trial.,
Graham had admitted he signed
a statement to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation saying he put a
dynamite bomb in his mother's
luggage, but at his trial he said
the statement was untrue.- The
state charged he killed his mother
to collect S37.r00 in insurance.
Prrsistent ouestioninf hy Gra
ham's attorneys nn the appeal
failed to shake his stand.
At one point he told the judge.
"They're not doing it for me if
they are doing it."

15 Exposed lo
Radiation at
Atomic Plant
WASHINGTON I Fifteen
or more persons were exposed to
potentially fatal radiation at an
atomic power plant project at Ft.
Belvoir, Vs., Monday, but the
government says the amount was
"not serious."
"After investigation of the in
cident those involved were as
sured by the Atomic Energy
Commission (AEC) that the ra
diation doses received were nnt
serious," AEC said in a state
ment.
' "Th ft mnun f nt rAtritn in
which the men were exposed was
considerably lower than any
which could result in an observ-
I ble clinical effect. Ah a precau
tionary measure all persons ex
posed were given a physical ex
amination ..."
Ft. Belvoir is about 15 miles
south of Washington. Th" army
is working there on a small-sized
atomic power reactor. The radi
ation was not from fissi-uiphle
material, but from an industrial
iridium source.
The AEC said the iridium, be
ing used in X-raying welds to
make sure they were perfect,
"was removed from its shielded
container and contrary to stand
ard practice left unshielded for
about three hours."

Engineer Lack
More 'Apparent
Than Actual'
LOS ANGELES l-The lament
ed shortage of engineers in this
country is more apparent man
real, a Standard Oil Co. of Cali
fornia executive contends.
W. L. Collins told the opening
session of the West Coast Engi-
neering Management conference
Monday that the shortage is not
in the number of engineers but
in the number actually working at
engineering.
Statistics show, he said, that 20
years after graduation, half of
those trained for engineering are
working in administration and
management.
"I am suggesting that we take
a look at the reasons hy so large
a percentage of engineers feel they
have to go this route," he said.

Court attaches said the papers
