Thornton Rules
OnCourt Actions
Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton said Monday that
Oregon criminal courts should
not reduce fines in part or sus
pend parts of sentences already
imposed.
"All criminal courts have the
power to suspend imposition
and execution of sentence un
less expressly forbidden by
statute. However, it is my op
inion that the court has the
power to suspend sentence or
execution as a whole and not
in part," he said in an opinion
requested by John J. Pickett,
district attorney of Coos coun
ty.
It has been common practice
in courts of the state to reduce
fines in part and to cut sen
tences. Thornton's rulings are of an
advisory nature, and courts are
under no compulsion to follow
them.

Good News Finally Prevails
In Captain Harry's Family
New York () The parents
and wife of Air Force Capt
Ronald C. Harry, 35, learned
Monday that he is coming home
from Korea as a released pris
oner of war. But that is only
half the story.
Harry went to Korea In Feb
ruary, 1852. In June of that
year, Mr. and Mrs. Chester
Harry of Brooklyn, his par
ents, and his wife, Gertrude,
got a happy letter from the
captain. He felt' fine, and, in
his next letter, would send
them a picture.
An hour later, on that June
day, the Brooklyn home was
plunged into sorrow. A War
Department telegram said Har
ry was missing in action. Hope
faded as months passed.
Then last June, a repatriated
POW from Korea contacted the
Harrys. He said he had seen
Ronald in a prisoner of war
camp. Naturally, their joy
was unbounded.
Two weeks ago came official
word: The captain was listed
as dead in a POW camp.
Since then, the radio in the
Harry home has seldom been
turned on. Announcements of
returning prisoners bringing
joy to ao- many others only
deepened their sorrow.
But Monday morning an ex
cited neighbor telephoned the
Harrys. Ronald, alive and
weltt had been officially an
nounced among those in the
days' prisoner exchange. He is
due home in a couple of weeks.
There were no "quotes" from
the Harrys. They were not
speechless, just Incoherent with
Joy.
