Goy. Smith Sees
No Justification
In Special Session
Salem 'UP' Gov. Elmo
Smith said today he dots not be
lieve a special session of the
legislature to raise salaries of
state employees can be justi
fied now.
The governor's views were
presented to the AFL-CIO Public
Employees Council in answer to
a telegram received from Leo
Butts, council representative.
Butts told the governor he had
a "moral obligation to call a
special session to restore senior
ity and merit steps previously
accrued to career employees and
to establish salary advances pro
viding a more realistic minimum
scale."
Gov. Smith f-aid the 1955 legis
lature in addition to making
"rather extensive improvements
m our employees retirement sys
tem." provided for improvement
in state salaries by approving
salary budgets that contained
sufficient funds to provide for
normal merit increases.
The legislature also provided
a fund of S2. 774. 000. he said, for
readjustment of the compensa
tion of state employees, in
creased salaries of most depart
ment heads, and at the same
time amended the state civil
service law to prov ide for a con
tinuing salary survey program.
"There is a need for improve
ment in the salaries of some
state workers." the governor con
cluded. "However, many other
needs call for expenditures of
public funds. All of these needs
should be considered by the leg
islature. For this reason and be
cause the legislature will soon
meet in regular session, I do not
believe a special session can be
justified now."

ried to a brother of the murder
victim, saw Alvin at that place
and memorized a description of
Alvin's companion. The descrip
tion. Nunley said, fits Billy Jun
ior Nunn.
Xunley also said Nunn. after
his arrest, wrote for officers a
statement of committing the
crime and later described an un
natural sex act between Nunn
and the Eacret boy. Following
this act. Nunley stated. Nunn
told of the boy's fright. "He re
membered another frightened
boy who sent him to the peni
tentiary for a similar offense,"
Nunley said.
Nunn spent several months in
the penitentiary in 1952 for a
sodomy offense involving a Port
land boy. The district attorney
said evidence would show Nunn
first strangled the boy into un
consciousness. then later
wrapped a narrow belt around
Eacret's neck.
Handkerchief in Throat
He added that Nunn shoved a
handkerchief clear into the
boy's throat. He said Nunn then
hid some of the boy's clothes
and disposed of the remainder
along the way.
Sam Harbison, court-appointed
defense attorney, asked in
his opening statement that the
jury consider how the informa
tion concerning Nunn and the
crime had been obtained. "Mr.
Nunn is not guilty of first de
gree homicide," he declared.
The judge, however, sustained
Nunley 's objection to this state
ment. "Removal of life while sod-
omy is in process is second de
j gree homicide." Harbison con
j tinued. "The state has asked for
the highest degree and can't
prove its case."
Following Harbison's state
ment, six wilnessosvfor the state
were sworn in. Mrs. LaRae Mid
daugh. Sgt. Eaton, State Police
Sgt. Earl Tichenor. Mrs. Eva
LaMarshe and Mr. and Mrs.
John Eacret, parents of the slain
boy.
The state's examination of
Mrs. Middaugh. first witness,
was interrupted by A. E. Pia?.za.
assistant defense attorney. Piaz
za voiced an objection to intro
duction of further evidence and
asked that the indictment be dis
missed. Judge Hanna overruled the
objection and denied the motion
for dismissal.
Mrs. Middaugh told the jury
she was attending a family pic
nic at Tub Springs park on
April 29. She said she and two
teen-age relatives left the rest
of the party to hike up a trail.
She said she saw near the trail
I the body of a nude man.
"I screamed and started to
run back to the others," she said.
"The other girls also saw the
body and followed me."
Mrs. Middaugh, 13-year-old
Klamath Falls housewife, said
she told some men of the dis
covery and accompanied them
part way back up the trail. "One
man took along a Bible." she
said, "and said a few words over
the body. Another man took
some blankets to cover the
body."
She was shown a photo by the
distiret attorney and identified
the photo as a picture of the
place where the body was found.
Next witness, Sgt. Eaton, told
of receiving a call at the Med
lord state police headquarters
concerning discovery of the
body. He said he and a superior
officer. Lt. Paul Morgan, went to
the scene after notifying the
district attorney and sheriff's
office.
He described the terrain in
which he saw the body and de
scribed a photograph as a "true
picture" of the area. It was later
pointed out one object, a box,
was not present at the time he
arrived on the scene.
Judge Hanna ordered the box
removed from the picture and
Nunley removed it with a razor
blade. The photograph was then
given to the jury. He identified
another photograph as a picture
of the boy's clothing at the
place where it was found. Sgt.
Eaton later drew for the jury a
diagram of the area surrounding
the body at the time he arrived.
He identified two more photo
graphs of the Eacret boy's body.

I The officer also told the jury

Langley Releases Contents of Letters
Portland (U.Ri Multnomah
County District Attorney Wil
liam Langley today released the
contents of letters he said had
been written to Portland Police
Chief Jim Purcell and to Sheriff
Terry Schrunk.
The 13 letters purported to
identify 27 establishments where
illegal operations were in pro
gress. Langley said the letters were
sent to the two officials in his
effort to stamp out vice in Mult
nomah county.
At the same time. Langley
stated that in his anti-vice pro
gram he had been forced to hire
paid informers to gather infor
mation about vice spots in the
county because he was not per
mitted to hire his own investiga
tors. He asserted that it was his
conversation with these inform
ers on tape recordings that had
been heard by the county grand
jury investigating vice. Langley
has declined to testify before the
jury.

ou can do it only in a Buick.
Only with Variable Fitch Dynaflow
can you switch the pitch like an air
plane pilot does. Only with DTiaflow
can ou get a safety-surge of extra
power that's smooth as a soaring bird.
Only the new est version of Dynaflow
gives completely smooth, swift accel
eration even at the first gas-saving
inch of pedal pressure.
Trying is believing this new 1956
Dynaflow is years ahead of any other
transmission. And it's just one of the
great new features that you're missing
if you're still driving an older car.
So why wait for your present car to
become another year older and con
siderably less valuable as trade-in
when vou can take advantage of
today's prices? And enjoy a car so
excitingly new?
Just look at Buick's new styling. "Mas
sive" and "grace" are words that seem
almost contradictory. But they're
beautifully combined in these newest
Buicks. And in a classic way that will
still look fresh for years to come.
Just try the newest Buick ride. It's
the steadiest yet. Based on deep-coil
springs, deep-oil-cushioned shock
absorbers, torque -tube drive, and a
long list of new developments not
even Buick has ever had before.
To get a softer, more buoyant ride
than this, you'd have to repeal the
laws of grav ity.
And to say that this is a great time
to buy a Buick is really an under
statement. Come see the sensible,
down-to-earth prices of Buick's tre
mendous range of models. Come hear
