Statement f prinajboardl
State Attorney General Ed
muo4 G. Crown used the Abbott
death as the springboard for a
tatement backing tha mora
torium on th death penalty.
"Rather then being a deter

O The sequence of events Friday
also touched off a controversy
between I vis and the governor,
who labelled the attorney's ef
forts "a dramatic stunt."
20 Minute Delay
Davis claimed hat there was I
ant level of 155 feet above sea
laval.
At 18 p.m. Friday Army En
gineers closed spillway gates in
the dam and resumed the reser
voir filling that had been started
last week. The Columbia river
was allowed to resume its flow
toward Bonneville dam and the
sea early Saturday morning but
was closed again at 10 p.m. yes
terday to fill the reservoir to its
final level. Ceremonies marking
first use of The Dalles dam na
vigation locks were scheduled
Sunday.
Canoeli Appearance
Dewey Short, undersecretary
of the Army who was originally
scheduled to keynote the observ
ance, cancelled his appearance
and Brig. Gen. L. H. Foote, di
vision engineer from Portland,
will represent the corps.
Govs. Albert Rosellini of Wash
ington and Robert Holmes of
Oregon were both scheduled to
attend ceremonies at the locks
that will lift river shipping over
the dam.
Last weeks' stream closure
raised the reservoir level behind
the dam to 130 feet from a nor
mal river level of 80 feet above
sea level. At that time Celilo
Falls, historic Indian fishing
grounds, and The Dalles-Celilo
canal were inundated. Sunday
the river waters covered the ar
chaelological sites in Petroglyph
Canyon. Scientists report that
their salvage work has been com
pleted and the ancient Indian
petroglyphs or rock picture
paintings have been preserved
for posterity. Two mammoth
stone petroglyphs too large to
lift out of the canyon by crane
said Knight. "In return he stag
ed a dramatic stunt with no
legal ground to stand on by
waiting until the very last min
ute and the appealing for still
another stay of execution."
Davis issued a detailed state
ment of his efforts to get through
to the governor and then added
bitterly:
"I have been informed that
district attorney (Frank) Coak
ley, who prosecuted Abbott, was
by coincidence also aboard the
Hancock and a member of the
governor's party. Very, very in
teresting." Knight Statement
Knight also said In his state
ment Friday night:
"I desire to point out that in
this case Burton Abbott and his
attorneys had 112 days after
judgement was affirmed by the
State Supreme Court in which
to appeal to any of the courts.
All appeals were turned down."
Davis called a new conference
today and said:
"I assume no responsibility
and recent Governor Knight's
indiscriminantly charging me
with the blame for any time
situation in the Abbott case
prior to March 7, 1957, which
is the first time the case was
brought to my attention as an
attorney."
a 20 minute delay in getting were fitted on rafts at the floor
through the telephone call to I of the canyon and will be floated

Committee Seeks
Morgan Affidavit
Washington U.P,i The Sen
ate Labor Rackets Committee de
cided Friday to seek additional
information from a former Ore
gon Democratic official regard
ing his charges about a Republi
can governor.
Chairman John L. McClellan
(D-Ark.) told the staff to con
tact Howard Morgan, former
state Democratic chairman to
see whether he could clarify
the record in any way" by affi
davit.
In testimony before the com
mittee Morgan quoted a gam
bler as saying the Teamsters Un
ion considered the late Paul Pat
terson, then governor of Oregon,
as "our pigeon."
The matter came up Saturday
when Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) appeared before the
committee to defend Portland,
his home town.
Most of the testimony thus far
has concerned vice and gambling
operations in Portland. Neuberg
er said it is "a city of ethical, re
sponsible and law-abiding inhab
itants." Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D )
suggested that Morgan be con
tacted again. Sen. Barry M.
Goldwater (R-Ariz.) supported
the move. He said he thought
.Morgan's comment about Patter
son was "rather vicious and po-liticaly-inspired.
