TWELVE MEDrORD (OHEGOH) MAIL TRIBTJlfE Thursday, July 7, 1935 Chessman Expects Vindication From Latest Reprieve San Quentin, Calif. (UP.) An elated Caryl Chessman took a cautious look at his latest nrieve from the gas chamber re- to- day and said it was a "decisive" step which could lead to "even tual vindication." But the condemned convict author, who has held off execu tion through a series of legal maneuvers for seven years, added, "I can't afford to specu late or get my hopes too high To Review Cats Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark granted Chessman a stay on Wednesday, so the full court can review the doomed writer's controversial case when it reconvenes in October, cness man was to have been put to death July 15. "This is a decisive step," he ' said in a prison interview. "I'm confident that if the Supreme r-nnrt takes a eood close look at the case, rather than summarily dismissing it as it has in the past, they will grant the hearing I've been fighting for. "And I'm equally confident that I could prove in a full hear ing that I am not guilty of the crimes for which 1 was con demned," he added. Chessman was convicted in 1948 on 17 - counts of kidnaping, robbery and rape as the so-called "red light bandit" of Los Angeles. Sixth Reprieve The 34-year-old convict, whose latest reprieve was the sixth time his scheduled execution has been called off, said Clark's ac tion offered more encourage ment for "eventual vindication" than any other "-development ince he entered death row. Chessman, who gained fame by writing the best-selling novel "Cell 2455 Death Row," has an other book "Trial By Ordeal" coming out next Monday. ' Cancer in Cattle Successfully Treated Chicago (U.PJ A radio active material has been used successfully in treating cancer of the cornea in cattle. A recent report in the Jour nal of the American Veterinary Medical' Association said that of 35 cattle treated with radio- one has had a recurrence of the disease. The report said strontium-90 was more effective than radia tion originating from x-ray equipment because radiation pro vided by the former penetrates tissue to a depth of one inch, while the x-ray radiation pene trates deeply into the tissue. "The advantage in cases deal ing with the eye is apparent be cause the tissue of the more deeply situated lens is especially radiosensitive and excessive ex posure could lead to cataracts and loss of sight," it said. The report added it is ex tremely important to detect the cancerous growth during the first several months during this period it will respond readily to treatment with radiation.

Chondsrs Writer Comes Up With 10 To Beat the Heat in Warm Editor's note: We present at this time, by popular demand our annual seasonal advice from our man who gets fed up with the usual rules on how to behave In hot weather and proposes new ones. . By H. D. QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) How to beat the heat ten convenient steps you are invited to ponder. 1. Dress correctly. Shave your head. Wear shorts. Hair holds heat. So do long pants. Remem ber what poor Richard said: Shorn pate and nude knees catch coolth from the breeze. 2. Work Correctly. Think' But don't make a move. Moving mus cles produce heat. Thinking pro duces nothing. 3. Be calm. Swallow your anger. Temper breeds . heat. You'll eventually develop ulcers from bottling up your temper during the summer, but they'll be a warming influence next winter. - 4. Be clever. Insult your wife. For the next two days every word she utters will have, icicles hanging from it. If you can keep her talking for a solid hour, you can surround your self .with Fresh Shipment FIG 2 ib.

Remember when Dizzy Dean, and Pepper Martin built a fire at the Card inal dugout on St. Louis's hot test day and warmed their hands? So, friends', turn on the heat in your house. The neigh bors will notice. And the police will find a cooler for you. 6. Be Scientific. Profanity turns the air blue. Blue is a cool color. So start swearing, in pub lic. You'll feel the chill around you. 7. Drink properly. Alcohol and sunshine don't mix. Try alcohol and soda or ginger ale. 8. Eat properly. Some foods produce heat. Avoid meat, eggs, cheese, vegetables, fruits, milk, salads, sweets, nuts, fowl and fish. Hire a Chinese cook and have some bird's nest soup. 9. Be resourceful. Hold up an armored car. Nothing beats the heat and soothes the fevered spirit like a cool million bucks. 10. Be strong. Dont' notice the heat. Pretend it's not there, if you pretend long enough, it'll go away come October.
