.- Commons Votes Against Ending Death Penalty LONDON (UP) The House of Commons voted Thursday night to continue capital punishment in Britain despite an emotional ap peal by James Chuler Ede who said he may have sent an innocent man to the galbws seven years ago. Chutcr Ede, schoolmaster, for mer leader of the House and La borite home secretary, joined other Socialists in asking for a five-year period without capital punishment. But the House overrode liis plea 245 to 214, as he sat with face buried in his hands. The man Chuter Ede allowed to be hanged was Timothy Evans, 25. charged with murdering his wife and baby. He died for the second crime but all Britain was filled with doubt when John Reginald Christie, the mass murderer of Nottingham Gate, confessed five years later he killed Mrs. Evans Chuter Ede was one of those filled with doiibt. He made it cleur in the House of Commons when he recalled the hanging of Evans and the confession of Christie that Evans' wife was one of six women he strangled and sealed in a wall of his house or buried under a flowering bush In his back yard. "I was the home secretary who wrote on Evans' papers 'the law must take its course,' " Chuter Ede said as he began his plea for dropping the death penally. '; ' The usual bustle of the chamber stopped. Members froze in their Seats and papers stopped rattling. His face flushed as he said: , "Today, I think that Evans' case shown, in spite of all that has Deen done, that a mistake was possible and- that in the form in which the verdict was actually given In a particular case a mistake was made." . Chuter Ede hesitated after those Words, "a mistake was made," - and continued. "I hope that no future home sec retary, in office or after he has left office, will ever have to feel that although he did his best.. .that In fact he sent a man who was not guilty as charged to the gallows." - He sat down, face in hands. Money Sought By Air Board Special to The Bulletin REDMOND A bill authorizing the state board of aeronautics to spend $25,000 of its own funds for construction of permanent office and hangar facilities is being pre pared for Introduction to the leg islature. Board members were ad vised Thursday at their meeting In Salem of this step In their efforts to obtain a suitable headquarters after being moved five times in the past six years to various lo cations around Salem. Each move has been costly to the board, they state, and locations have been in adequate. The present office is in a fraternity house. No additional money from the state will be required, but legisla ture must give permission to the board to spend Its own funds for such construction, according to board member J. R. Roberts of Redmond. They plan to build of fice room, a hangar for their Piiier m-pneer, and a carport on a site nvailable nt the Salem niriwrt, Robert says. Sentiment in the cap- nai seemea favorable, he re ported. He also reports progress Is be In? made on providing a public air strip in the Seaside-Gearlmrl community, to serve both those cities. Two sites arc available, the location at Seaside being more de sirable but too expensive, so the strip will probably be closer to Gearhart, Roberts says. A strip is also planned at Lake-of-the-Woods, near Klamath Kalis. Klamath county Is reportedly willing to as sist with drnln and fill work on n site on Forest service land. The strip would serve a large recrea tional area.

(Bend Bulletin Photo) Increasing Number of New H omes are 'Prefabricated' By KLOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK (UP) Last year ipproximately 77,000 new houses were largely built, or "prefabri cated," in factories. By that figure vou can murk the startling ad vance of a technological revolu tion by - evolution which is crumbling the "last frontier of the hand craftsman." As recently as 10 years ago most new houses were built piece-by-piece at their sites by local carpenters, plumbers, electricians tinsmiths, masons and painters. The mass production techniques of television and automobiles fac tories Increased production by a little more than one third over 1953, when they produced 57,000 houses. The 1953 total marked a similar advance over 1952. Their proportion of the national total of new houses is pushing toward 10 per cent, from a low of two per cent in the immediate post World War II years. "6 Per Cent in Fort Wnyrey In the regions around house fac tories, where transportation costs of houses from factories to sites ere comparably low, the percent ages are even more arresting. In Fort Wayne, Ind., for example, factory-built houses now account for 75 per cent of all new houses. House factories are spreading to more and more regions. Soon BUILT CLOSER TO THE CAR THE WEST LIKES BEST FITZPATRICK they will blanket the nation. A house factory, in full production, can prefabricate a two-bedroom house in less than half an hour and a prefabricated house can be erected on a prepared foundation and made ready for use in three weeks. Since labor costs are a big part of house buiiding costs, the im plications for the future are clear. Brings Down Cost To report this revolution- by evolution, of which most people outsif'.e the house building industry are unaware, I have spent weeks consulting engineers, architects, economists, and leaders of the prefabricated houses industry. I can report, as the result, that mass production techniques, which have brought scores of rel atively expensive products within the financial range of most Americans, are being applied suc cessfully to the building of houses, and this despite such seemingly impossible' obstacles as "local in terests," and conflicting and un scientifically restrictive building codes. "Prefabricated" houses, when analyzed, proved to be entirely comparable in quality of materi als in amounts of materials, and in structural integrity with similar built house. And their builders showed that they could undercut the costs of the average on-site builder by ten to 20 per cent. .ii' " . , ; , , Two full inches lower with as much headroom as ever!
