Most of the technical man uals are written by specialists, military or civilian, In individ ual branchei of the services. However, each of the services also has Its staff of professional writers to whom manual sub jects are assigned. The Air Force says it has such writers at the Lackland Air Force Base Training Com mand Headquarters in Texas. Six are noncommissioned of ficers and 19 are civilians. Among the latter is Homer H. Hyde, who prepared the re serve training manual that con tains the disputed reference to Communist infiltration of re ligion.

He Stepped in After Warning Official Tells Part In Chessman Case LOS ANGELES Iff) Chief Deputy Atty. Gen. Richard R. Rogan said Saturday he stepped into the Caryl Chessman case because'he was warned of possible Latin-American re action if Chessman had been executed. A telephone call from a former federal official, Rogan said, prompted him into actions which played a part in the nth-hour reprieve of uhess Non-Support Charge Daniel Dean Rummel, 35, of Mountain View, Calif., was arrest ed and brought to Eugene from San Jose, Calif., Friday on a Lane County warrant charging non-support. Bail was set at $500. He was transported to Eugene by a, Lane County sheriff's deputy. man Thursday night. Rogan would not name the man he said called him from Wash ington. He called him a former high-ranking State Department employe and a long time personal friend now in private business there. "He explained the possibilities of incidents during President Ei senhower's trip," Rogan said, and went over the troubles dur ing Vice President Richard M. Nixon's visit." TWO PHONE CALLS Gov. Edmund G. Brown's 60 day stay of execution for the convicted rapist-kidnaper has caused a furor in this and many other countries. The California Legislature will be asked, Brown said, to consider abolishing the death penalty, The call from the unidentified friend, Rogan said, led him to: Telephone George V. Allen, director of the U.S. Information Agency who was suggested by Rogan's caller. Telephone Governor Brown late Wednesday and advise him of both conversations. It was the next night, after getting a telegram from the State Department, that Brown granted the repriovo. Chessman, an in mate of the death house for more than 11 years, was to have died in the gas chamber Friday. HEAVY CORRESPONDENCES Rogan was assistant to Nelson A. Rockefeller when the New York governor was coordinator of inter-American affairs in the early 1940s. He said he told Allen of the large amount of Chessman clem ency correspondence received from other countries, and m par ticular from Latin America. "Allen said to me that any com mutation of the sentence would improve relations abroad," Ro gan said. "He was not asked however, for any assistance or in terference, Rogan said he personally op poses the death penalty but his actions in the Chessman case were were not influenced by that or by any political factors. Brown, in granting the stay, said his decision was influenced by a telegram from Roy R. Ru- boltom Jr., assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs. Rubottom's telegram reported that grave concern had been ex pressed by the Uruguayan gov ernment over possible demonstra tions during President Eisenhow er's tour of Latin America. A State Department spokesman said Rubottom had not received any calls from Rogan or any other California officials about the case. Rogan said he did not talk to State Department press officer Lincoln White on the matter.

Callers Pour In On Elizabeth And Her Prince LONDON t Queen Eliza beth and her baby prince (weighed in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces) received a stream of callers Saturday. Prince Philip took off to watch a football game, and Buckingham Palace was getting back toward nor mal. Queen Mother Elizabeth and Princess Margaret appeared for a half hour visit. They drove away looking delighted. The archbishop of Canter bury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, clerical head of the Church of England, was among dignitaries paying homage to the Queen and her second son. "It's a lovely baby," said gynecologist John H. Peel, who presided at the delivery Friday of the first child born to a reigning British monarch in 103 years. "The baby is doing fine and so is the Queen." A formation of 36 Hunter fighters, flying through a driz zling rain, dipped over the pal ace roof in salute. Gun batter ies boomed at Hyde Park, the Tower of London, Edinburgh Castle. From Page One Prison Work T. Goodwin told the subcommit tee that indeterminate sentences would have the virtue of flexi bility." He said that the problem of short sentences lies in the fact that there is no supervision after the offender is released. 'Quite often," he said, "that chap will be back in the institu tion in 30 to 90 days. Goodwin also told the subcom mittee he believed the maximum probation period should be raised from five to ten years. When an offender loses contact with his parole officers, "he has to drift," and often goes back to crime, Goodwin said. The subcommittee on criminal procedure held a business meet ing Saturday night and ended its two-day session in Eugene. An other session has been scheduled for Portland late in March. Lane County Again Leads In Asian Flu Lane County last week again reported the largest number of Asian flu cases in the state 335. The county had the largest number of cases the previous week, when 353 were reported. The report was contained in a statement released Saturday by tne btate Board of Health in Portland. The board's report, filed by the Associated Press, said 2,375 new cases of flu were reported in Oregon in the week ended Feb. 13. That was slightly below the 2.682 cases for the week ended Feb. 6. These figures brought the total number of cases in the state so far in 1960 to 10,623, more than three times the number reported at this time in 1959. Last year's total number of cases recorded an all-time high of 57,323. The board also reported that tests showed a patient at the Portland Veterans Hospital to be suffering from Asian flu. This is the first time in this year's flu epidemic that the virus has been isolated. Dr. Richard H. Wilcox, state health officer, said a single isolation is not sufficient evidence to prove that Oregon's epidemic has been due solely to Asian flu. He said further specimens are needed to determine if other respiratory ailments are involved. Fire in Apartment Causes Man's Death COOS BAY Wl A fire in an apartment house early Saturday caused the death of Frank Levell Gunn, believed to be from Powers Oregon. Gunn spent the night at the apartment of Robert Windham, 23. The fire apparently broke out in the room where Gunn was sleeping at about 6:30 a.m. Windam ran outside. He told Fire Chief Francis X. Mulvey that he thought Gunn also had got out. But Gunn's charred body was found in the burned room after the fire had been put out. Damage to the building was estimated at $10,000. From Page One State Budget other five million dollar increase for institutional budgets; five mil lion dollars more for salary ad justments; and about six million dollars more fore miscellaneous activities. Thus, the general fund budget would be about $328,283,000. This does not include funds for the state's building program. Holmer said a review is currently being made of the building needs. 'ROUGH ESTIMATES' "There are so many variables here that I reiterate my insist ence that I am not forecasting a $326 million budget," Holmer told the group. "These figures . . . are extremely rough esti mates of some of the increases that may be justified when we re view agency budget requests next fall. We shall insist on complete justification ..." Eymann told the committee that the State Tax Commission is now conducting a study on Ore gon's income tax base. "He pre dicted that the state's income tax will continue to provide increas ing revenues because of inflation and other factors. Eymann in dicated that the income tax top a sales tax as a revenue source. The committee will meet in Baker March 25 and 26 to con tinue its study. From Page One Foresters Get he said, "for if taxes are so de signed to discourage holding tim ber to proper merchantable age, we're wasting our breath when we speak of sustained yield." The forester, he continued, who runs the company's tree farms should learn to communicate in simple language with his man agement, taxing bodies and the public. Costs of turning out lumber are going up, Jenkins explained, and "we will have to change our tac tics if we are going to save the ship." Jenkins was introduced by W. F. McCulloch, dean of the for estry school. Earlier, L. L. Stewart, presi dent and general manager of the Bohemia Lumber Co., of Cot tage Grove, presented an honor ary membership in the Fernhop pers to David Mason, consulting forester from Portland.
