Page Z-Sectioii I THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Salem, Oregon, Saturday, January 21, 1956 Chessman Lists I? T 1 errors rouna In Transcript SAN' FRANCISCO (UP) Convict-author Caryl Chessman has pointed out a number of alleged '.errors" in the transcription of his 1348 trial, which he claims were responsible for his death sentence. "However, the 34-year-old convict said he never raised the question ot the errors and deletions before because he could not "substanti ate the charges" until 1954. Chessman testified at a hearing before Federal Judge Louis E. Goodman on his petition for a writ ot habeas corpus. He -admitted under cross-examination, that he knew of what he called "erroneous statements" at the time he asked for a new trial. (In 1954 the U. S. Court of Appeals denied Chessman's peti tion because the convict-author has "husbanded these contentions through ten habeas corpus pro ceedings" and had failed to raise the issue at the appropriate time.) At the present hearing, Chess man has charged that the errors in the transcript were the result ,pf deliberate fraud by Los Angeles -Judge Charles W. Tricke, prosecu tor J. Miller Lcavy, and Stanley Frascr, who was hired to tran scribe the notes of court reporter Ernest Perry who died shortly after the trial. ,. Chessman charged there was no -mention in the record of Frickc's .statement to the jurors that "if they found bodily harm, they should return the death penalty -in this particular case. He was found guilty on 17 counts of robbery, rape, kidnap and sex perversion and sentenced to die. " Chessman said he also testified how police offered to charge him ''only with robbery if he would confess, , - "My words are not in the tran iscript," he swore yesterday. ;"They have been materially -abridged. The precise details are J not as I gave them." Patterson Calls for Support Of Administration Principles BOISE, Ida. (UP) Gov.

The strike had cut oft practically all coal deliveries and about CO per cent of fuel oil deliveries in all parts of the city except Staten Island. A number of bir: oil firms and a few smaller companies, whose drivers belong to independ ent unions, were not involved in the strike. Hardest hit by the walkout were hotels and private apartment houses, some of which ran out of fuel early in the week. The mayor was ready to in voke emergency powers when the strike settlement was reached at the end of all-night mediation ses sions. ' The settlement included a 12'4 cent boost in wages that had av eraged $2.40 an hour, 14 cents for pensions and 314 cents for welfare. The terms are retroactive to Jan. 1 and run for two years. The teamsters had sought a package increase which they fig ured worth 39 cents an hour but which the employers estimated would cost them 47'4 cents.- leadership and the third anniver sary of his inauguration as president. "I call on Republicans to accent the challenge a military man might have made to his troops, that if your objective is right, drive on to victory even though your commander-in-chief may fall along the way," Gov. Patterson said. "Whatever the President's deci sion may be, I ask you to devote your energies in the coming cam paign to making sure that the things for which he has stood will be achieved lor the benefit of all the people." On the credit side of the Eisen hower administration, he listed more than 10 billion dollars pared trom tne national budget; removal of price controls; streamlining while strengthening national de fense; halting oT inflation and the transition for the first time in his tory from war to peace without a depression. -.

' Gusts Clearing Patch of Ice On Antarctic , By SAUL- PF.TT ABOARD USS EDISTO, MC MURDO SOUND, Antarctica VP Mother nature, antarctic branch, has come to the aid of Operation Deepfreeze with a whoop and a holler. In a 20-hour period, south winds with gusts up 'to 46 m.p.h. cleared a 25 by 28 mile aria of McMurdo Sound of ice. In all about 700 square miles of ice have been blown out to sea. And this was no minor accom plishment. The ice averaged three to five feet and last Wednesday was strong enough to support planes weighing 1i tons. The planes flew to New Zealand Wednesday and where they were landing and taking off here now is clear blue water. The temperature yesterday was 28 degrees above zero. Until now the thickness of the ice was a mixed blessing. It was strong enough to hold planes but too strong for icebreakers to carve a path wide enough for cargo ships. As a result cargo had to be unloaded from the bigger ships and ferried by icebreaker up through the narrow channel a long slow process. In five days this ferrying meth od permitted less than 40 per zeni of the Wyandot's cargo tc be Un loaded. Now the process will be speeded up because the cargo shins will be able to steam 20 miles closer to Hut Point.

Waiter Fails to Report Tips Of $67,000 NEW YORK W-A former head waiter at the Waldorf-Astoria Ho tel has been indicted on a charge of failing to report more than 67, 000 he received in tips betwen 1949 and 1952. , ' The Internal Revenue Service says the case involving the retired hcadwaiter, Hans Paul, probably will touch off an investigation in this arc's of hotels and catering services at which workers make most of their money in tips. Paul, 63, now is vacationing in Miami, Fla. He was indicted yes terday on a charge of failing to re port the tips in his earnings during the four years preceding his retire ment. The government says Paul's salary during that period was $3,- 000 a year. Asst. U. S. Atty. David Jaffe estimated Paul cheated the gov ernment out of nearly $25,000 in taxes. "It is believed the government has been duped out of millions of dollars a year by those persons who fail to report an accurate ac counting of gratuitous tips," Jaffe said. Paul will return here Feb. 9 lo plead to the indictment. C. C. Philippe, a vice president of tne Waldorf-Astoria, said money collected contractually for waiters from dinners varied between $500,- Food Industry Asked to Help Find Markets ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Wl -Secretary of Agriculture Benson Saturday challenged the food in dustry to give more aid to the gov ernment in a search for new and broader markets for farmers. Benson told a meeting of the National Canners Assn. in a ore- pared speech: "There is no sounder investment of tax dollars in the future of the United States in the health, pros perity and welfare of our people than an investment in agricultural research, particularly in the field of new uses, new markets, new crops, improvements in our .mar keting mechanism, and an expan sion of basic scientific knowledge." Benson said industry itself as a "big stake" in such basic re search, adding: "I wonder, therefore, if private industries cannot do more than they are now doing to support basic research through grants to universities. Many corporations are already following this policy. "I challenge you, and industry in general, to create basic re search. We need it for many rea sons. It is the foundation upon which advances in applied re search' are built. I challenge you also to step up the tempo of mar keting research to help move agri cultural products into use." The Cabinet officer outlined .lew administration farm proposals featuring a soil bank plan which contemplates using, surpluses to get a cutback in (arm overproduc tion, ' Blaming surpluses for many present farm problems, Benson said agricultural income last year would have been two billion dol lars, or 20 per cent, greater had it not been (or the price-depressing effects of such oversupplies. , "The improvements we are rec ommending in the basic farm pro gram are a workable approach to reducing surpluses, bringing pro duction and markets into balance at fair prices, and so raising the income and advancing the security of our farm families," he said. with and the knife she used in the slaying. She did not, however, give a motive, Ortiz said. Running Aid to Emotion Stress SANTA BARBARA, Calif, im- Next time you get your dander up, take a run around the block. The running will ease the emo tional stress, says Dr. Ernest D. Michael, Santa Barbara College physical education professor. "One of the best ways to stimu late this mechanism of adaptation to stress is with exercise," Michael said. The exercise should be regular and strenuous, Michael said, but not tiring to the point of fatigue. He recommended walking and swimming as two excellent exer cises lo keep a smile on our face. face. The tips go into a common pool. with the waiters getting two-thirds and the remaining one-third oing to captains and others in the ban quet department.
