Writ For Convict Is Turned Down By Circuit Judge Pendleton OP) Circuit Judge William Wells, in a memo randum opinion issued Saturday rejected a petition for a writ of coram nobis filed by convicted kidnaper Leonard Ellsworth Mil ler. The petition, prepared by the state prison inmate himself, was patterned after a similar legal technique used by famed Califor nia convict Caryl Chessman in San Quentin. A writ of coram nobis is an English common law instrument rarely asked in Am erican jurisdictions. Not Comparable Judge Wells rejected the pe tition which asked that a court transcript of the Miller case be thrown out as incomplete. Judge Wells said the petition was not based on fact and the case was not comparable to that of Chess man. Miller, in 1953, kidnaped an Oregon state policeman at gun point, drove him to McKai res ervoir, handcuffed him to his patrol car and abandoned him there. He and his accomplices were later arrested at Yakima, Wash. He was sentenced at Pen dleton by Judge Wells to 25 years in the penitentiary. Miller was among those con victs who escaped recently from Marion county circuit court in Salem during a court hearing. His freedom was short-lived.

Portland HP) The Oregon State Welfare Commission meet ing here Friday adopted a new budget for the next two years, incorporating increased federal funds but heralding a period of austerity in commission spend ing.. . . The 1957-1959 budget includ ed an increase of $3,041,860 m federal matching funds for a to tal of $78,121,353. But only 48 per cent of the total will be spent during the first year of the biennium. The commission agreed to set aside a one per cent emergency fund as a cush ion against an economic reces sion during the second year. Commission Chairman J. H Luihn said "we have never been as tight as this before." He agreed with the majority of the commission the usual 49 per cent allocation for the first year would leave too small a reserve for unexpected emergencies. Immediate result of the new budget policy will be a cutback of $100,000 in the amount rec ommended by the staff for allo cation to counties during the second quarter of operations. 1 The western pine beetle de stroys costly quantities of tim ber each year.
