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.

ment will occupy members of

ence during a meeting In Eu
gene Thursday, Friday and Sat

problems of the logging.
The conference theme Is
"From Stump to Dump," with
the program concentrating

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.

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.

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.

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.
