Cop Slayer
Dies Before
Firing Squad
High Court Rejects
Last Minute Appeal
POINT OF THE MOUNTAIN,
Utah Ifl Convicted cop-killer
Don Jesse Neal, who has cheated
his executioners four times in as
many years, died before a Utah
firing squad at sunrise Friday.
The A-ycar-old former San
Francisco man lost his final
desperate appeal for a fifth stay
of execution Thursday wnen
members of the U.S. Supremo
Court, cthe Utah Pardons Board
and Dist. Judge A. H. fcllctt re
fused to intercede.
ROBBERY SUSPECTS
Neal was convicted of fatally
shooting Police Sgt. Owen T. Far
ley of Salt Lake City May 23,
1951. Farley had arrested Neal
and his companion Mrs. Wilma
Tully for investigation of
motel robbery in Oeden. Utah.
Neal had been sentenced to
die five times. Four times he was
saved by. legal appeals made by
his altorncys and by the Ameri
can Civil Liberties Union.
Thursday members of the Su
preme Court refused for the sec
ond time in a month to grant a
stay of execution. The Pardons
Board denied Neal a new hear
ing, and Judge Ellett, who sent
enced Neal, turned down a re
quest for a delay in the execu
tion. TLEADS OWN CASE
Neal pleaded his own case be
fore Judge Elicit. He spoke nerv
ously through a 45-minute mono
logue. Under Utah law, Gov. J. Brack
en Lee docs not have the joiwer
to grant clemency.
Neal, who had a choice of shoot
ing or hanging, sai(J he chose
shooting because "it is easiest."
He said Thursday he was "ready
for dying as a matter of fact I've
already died four times in the last
four years."
Neal claimed the shooting of
Farley must have been dooe by
his companion, Mrs. Tully. He
and his alloroeyscharged that
his conviction was brought about
by perjurccT testimony by Mrs.
Tully.
nANDS CUFFED o
The 1051 Irial brought out this
description of the shooting:
Neal, hands cuffed behind him,
sat on the front seat of the car
in which ho and Mrs. Tully were
arrested. On his left sat Farley,
driving the pair to 0hc Salt Lake
City polico station, and on his
right, Mrs. Tully.

HAPPY OVER STRIKE SETTLEMENT. With his
hands aloft in the customary victory salute, CIO Steel
workers President David J. McDonald grins Friday in
Pittsburgh, Pa., a few minutes after the 12-hour strike
was settled with a 15-cent-an-hour vage boost from the
U. S. Steel Company. Other steel companies, following
the usual pattern, age expected to come up withothe
sSme offer. A nationwide sjeel strike started at Thurs
day midnight as steelworkers throughout the country
walked off their jobs. Story, Page 1.

oral could not be provided with
money received from the general
tax levy.
o Although the deficit was much
larger than the $105,000, part of
the slack was taken up with an
additional $100,000 receift'd from
the Eugene Water & Electric
Board. This is toabe paid in lieu
of taxes.
"What we're going tirdo nog,"
Finlayson said Friday mornin?,
"is take the money from tho
Water Board (which oould have
gone into the goneraQ funofl and

Most city officials blamed the
election lo;s on the extremely

totals favored the special levy.

(Continued From Page One)
ent plans call for feeding energy
from this plant into the TVA sys
tem to replace power diverted
to government atomic plants.
Ingram said "every piece" of
the plant is on order or being
made and that "the government
would have to pay these costs,
plus the engineering already done
and anticipated profits for the
first three years of operation."
But Hughes was quoted by the
Memphis Commercial Appeal as
saying the cancellation costs
won't be much.
NOT SEEKING RENEWAL
TVA contemplated channeling
Dixon-Yates power into the JJem
phis area. But ' TVA Chairman
Herbert D. Vogel officially noti
fied the Budget Bureau Thursday
'it isMemphis' intent to provide
the generating facilities needed
to meet the power requirements
of the Memphis distribution sys
tem. And that the city will not
seek renewal of its present power
upply contract with the TVA
when the contract expires in June
1058."
Voce? told Huehes in riis letter
tfiat the city's action eliminates
the possibility of using the Dixon
Yates output in the Memphis area
3nd that transmission co3ts in
volved, plus other factors, "would
make it impracticable for TVA to
utilize that power elsewhefli" in
its system.
Thus, said Voegel, the TVA
board believed arrangements be
tween the AEC and the Dixon-
Yates group should no longer be
preuicuieu un uic use ui me vvesi

board had adopted a foisnal res-
Volution on the matter.

the Hoover Commission os Gov

CLASH OF INTERESTS
The task group considers that
the well-dofumented conflict be

augmented by the fact that there

beneficiaries of their respective
programs, the report said.
The task force recommended to
the full commission that the

It was, however, critical of

ments by individuals and small
districts, the Bureau of Reclama
tion has in the past persisted in
showing its greatest interests only
in those projects where appro
priations would involve large
sums," the group stated.
"This has been due to a desire
on the part of the bureau to have
a heavy backlog of authorized
work without having to go before
Congress with frequent requests
for project authorizations. But
the pressure for a large backlog
of work exists because ofthe ne
cessity for the bureau to justify
its very large organization."
SERIOUS CHALLENGE
Elsewhere, the report staled:
"When the Bureau of Reclama
tion, by a benefit-cost analysis,
justifies projects costing from
$100 to $2,000 per acre or more
in areas where crig) yields will
not exceed $50 to $100 per acre,
it is the conclusion of the task
group that such procedure is
open to serious challenge, and is
something to which Congress
should give prompt considera
tion." Th task group said it conclud
ed that "in many of the new irri
gation projects being proposed in
the West, the naflonal interest
docs not approach the contribu
tion the general taxpayer would
be compelled to mifte."
'Nevertheless." it said."it does
not follow that no subsidy to ir
rigation is never permissible' '
