SIX MEDFORD (OMGOIf) MAIL THIBUKB Sunday, June I, 1151 Brown Says Defense Attorney At Fault In Execution Delay San Quentin, Calif. (U.R) California Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown charged Saturday that de fense attorneys played a "game of cat and mouse" with the life Angered Citizens Of Kalamazoo Plan To End Killings Kalamazoo, Mich. (U.R) Angry citizens who attended the funeral of eight-yearld Jeanie Singleton began an all-out war Saturday against sex-crazed kill ers. Dr. Leo Resmussn, Kalama zoo coroner, organized a civic committee and appealed to citi zens to report any sex offenses or suspected sex offenses promptly. Rasmussen also suggested or ganizing a speaker's bureau to give safety talks on moral of fenses to school children and parent-teacher groups. The coroner called a meeting for June 16 to discuss action against degenerates and he in vited civic organizations to send representatives to the confer-' ence. Jeanie, a crippled child with a sunny disposition, was raped and strangled near a lonely country road 14 miles north of Kalamazoo. Her body was found beneath a blood-specked pine tree and an autopsy confirmed fears that she was the victim of a sex degenerate. Not At Services The little girl was buried Fri day at Mount Ever-Rest Ceme tery after services at the New Apostolic Church where detec tives mingled with mourners in hope the slayer would attend and make some slip. They said, however, he apparently did not go to the services. Police admitted their only clue was a report of a 1949 or 1950 two-tone blue car which was seen in the area where Jeanie's body was found. A world stamp fair will be held at Oslo Jurte 4-12 in con nection with Norway'! postal centennary. of convicted murderess Barbara Graham. The 32-year-old "moll" of the infamous "Mountain Murder Mob" of Jack Santo and Em- mett Perkins was executed in the San Quentin gas chamber Friday but only after two agon izing delays. Doctors, were strap ping a stethoscope to Mrs. Gra ham's chest when the second delay came only four minutes before she was to become exe cuted. 'Cruel Punishment Brown, a frequent critic of the administration of capital punish ment in California, said defense maneuvers which delayed Mrs. Graham's execution for 94 min utes constituted "the last of a series of cases in which cruel and unusual punishment was in flicted" on a condemned slayer. "The way the death penalty has been administered in this state during the past two years is a disgrace to the administra tion of justice," Brown said. The attorney general said that if the death penalty is to be used in California he favors adoption of the British system in which capital punishment cases must be disposed of within 60 to 90 days. "The only effectiveness of cap ital punishment is when the pun ishment of the court is adminis tered quickly and dispassion ately" he said. Unless the state adopts the British system, Brown said, he recommended sentences of life imprisonment without possibil ity of parole to replace capital punishment and "increase the dignity of the state." Meanwhile, the bodies of San to and Perkins remained un claimed but the remains of the attractive Mrs. Graham were taken by an agent of her last husband. The trio of killers died Fri day in the gas chamber after an agonizing last -minute attempt to save them. Authorities said the bodies of Jack Santo and Emmett Perk ins, leaders of the notorious "Mountain Murder Mob" would be cremated at the Napa State hospital. The two killers died side by side, just three hours former prostitute, was put to death.

Frank Carlson (R-Kan.) invi ted President Eisenhower Sat urday lo become a member of the national Flying Farmers' association. Carlson, a close friend of the President, sent the invita tion after reading that Mr. Eisenhower had flown a small plane yesterday to visit his Gettysburg, Pa., farm. tysburg farm and back Friday in less than one hour flying time, a trip that normally takes over four hours by automobile. The bright blue and white plane was a new "Aero Com mander," a twin-engine ship equipped to haul four persons, including a pilot and co-pilot, a Secret Service agent and the president himself. Half Hour Flight The ship took 32 minutes to fly to Gettysburg, 25 to return. The President thought the re turn flight was 22 minutes, but that was his time over the Wash ington Airport, not actually on the ground at point of debarka tion. The President summed up his trip in glowing phrases. He call ed the AF2, as the Air Force re fers to the ship, "a lovely little airplane." He said flying to Get tysburg certainly beat the two- hour motor trip. Mr. Eisenhower probably will be usinf the AF2 not only for frequent week end trips to the UN Charges ROKs Killed by Reds Munsan, Korea (U.R) The United Nations Command charg ed Saturday that the Communists opened fire on six Republic of Tokyo (U.R) Radio Pei ping claimed Saturday that Chinese Communist planes shot down or damages three American planes which "in truded over northeast China" last month. Korea soldiers and killed two of them Thursday in "wanton murder." The UN said the attack took place "without provocation" in side the no man's land that sepa rates North and South Korea, 23 miles northeast of here. Four other soldiers withdrew under fire and were not injured, the UNC announcement said. Civil Police The ROK soldiers were mem bers of the civil police stationed inside the demilitarized zona to maintain order. The ROK soldiers were work ing around an unarmed three quarter ton truck, when a Com munist patrol of undetermined size opened fire on them. A UNC spokesman said that the armistice agreemen in Korea "prohibits any hostile act with in, from, or against the demili tarized zone." He termed the deaths as "wanton murder by the Communists."

The agreement will join all stocks and physical a?'- Northwest, valued at more than $1,000,000, with United, wmcn is worth more than $2,000,000. Each company will continue to serve its present customers with no policy or personnel changes contemplated according to a joint statement by Juan Young, United's president, and A. .

Mamie Takes Auto Mrs. Eisenhower will not be flying in the small ship. She is i uncomfortable while flying . un less she is in a pressurized cab in which the AF2 does not have. On Gettysburg week ends when . the President uses the plane. Mrs. Eisenhower probably will ! precede him to the farm by ' auto. ' The chief executive will con- j tinue to use his Super-Constellation, the Columbine, for long er trips when he might encoun ter weather trouble, when he must carry a sizeable staff with him and where the distance and necessary speed are beyond the capacities of the smaller ship. Mr. Eisenhower was believed to be the first president to fly in a plane with less than four engines. The decision to shift the AF2 for short trips was made only after extensive testing by the Air Force to the complete satisfaction of the Secret Ser vice, which is basically respon sible for the safety of a chief executive. 360 LITTLE COUNT CIRCLES!

Yet there's a world of difference the way we figure at Mercy Flights. Those 360 circles represent 360 patients we've flown to either save their lives or spare them pain, and 120 of the circles represent pre-paid subscribers who were flown free of charge. The others had to pay, if they were able. Actually, we wish that all of the patients had been subscribers and flown free of charge. That would mean that everyone in Jackson County was a subscriber, plus a few more out of the county. Both the patients and ourselves would be better off financially.

ST" Mas its Own y Over the years there has come into being what amounts virtually to a special Cadillac vocabulary. Certain words and phrases have so long and so often been used in association with Cadillac that they almost automatically call the car to mind. When the talk is of motor cars, who can hear the word "prestige" without thinking of Cadillac? It likewise true of "distinction" ... of "luxury' . . . of "pride of ownership" . . . of "satisfaction" ... of "comfort" ... of "long life and dependability" ... of "beauty" . . . of "impressiveness". . . of "value" and of dozens of other words used to denote superiority. In a sense, these are Cadillac words and they actually sound strange when employed in any other connection. Even when used in the promotion of another automobile, they still suggest the "car of cars". Naturally, words like these can become inseparable only from a product which deserves them. In the ocabulary case of Cadillac, it has taken half a century of the strictest adherence to the highest automotive stand ards to win this public approval. Eternal vigilance is the price of this reputation. Most oeoole. of course, realize that these wonderful words apply to Cadillac. But too many have not yet personally iound out why. If you are among these come in and see us today. We will give you the keys to a new 1955 Cadillac and you'll know in a single hour why Cadillac has its own vocabulary. You'll know, from personal experience, that when you speak of "prestige" and "distinction" and "luxury" and "pride of possession" and "value" you are speaking of the Standard of the World. We have the keys and the car and a real wel come waiting for you. -, SKINNER'S GARAGE 143 S. Riverside Medford Phone 2-6234
