By Unusual Killing

causing trouble at his unionized
plant. The executive is in jail

Bt JAMES L. KILGALLEN
UPI Correspondent
Chester, N.Y.-flJPD-This com
munity of 3,000 population is
greatly stirred up by an un
usual homicide the shooting
to death of a union organizer
by a factory president plagued
by union trouble.
In jail in nearby Goshen,
awaiting possible grand jury
action, is Malcolm R. White,
48, mild-appearing head of
Chester Cable Corp., which
manufactures cable and elec
trical wiring. The man he
killed was Alfred Dugan, 52,
a dapper six-footer who had
been trying to dislodge one
union within White's plant
and substitute his own local.
"It was justifiable homi
cide," said Henry Hirschberg,
newly-appointed counsel for
vvnne.
"The defendant is not In
the criminal class. He is a
man who led a good life and
got involved in an unfortun
ate episode. He had never
committed a crime. He tells
me he was in terror of Dugan.
He says he knew Dugan had
a criminal record.
Had Feared Attack
The paths of White and
Dugan crossed half a mile
from White's picketed plant
at about 8:20 last Thursday
morning. White claims, ac
cording to Hirschberg, that as
Dugan came toward White
he had his hand in his pocket
and that White thought the
man was going to shoot him.
White "wanted to protect
himself," said Hirschberg.
White emptied his .32 calibre
automatic into Dugan.
Hirschberg's. first move in
White's defense was to re
quest an open public hearing
for White. In letters to Magis
trate Peter B. Bush and
Orange County District At
torney Abraham S. Isseks, he
urged such a hearing as son
as possible, preferably next
week.
The grand jury has not yet
acted in the case. If Hirsch
berg's move fails, he said he
will then have to wait and see
whether the grand jury re
turns an indictment against
White or not.
Claims Self-Defense
Hirschberg said today that
the defendant will not claim
xduress. The attorney pointed
out that White willingly gave
himself up.
If White is brought to trial
for the killing of Dugan, his
defense will be "self-defense,'
according to Hirschberg. The
lawyer said he would contend
it was a case of justifiable
homicide and that White is
entitled to acquittal.
Hirschberg is a colorful at
torney and well-known in this
region. He is 79 years old and
is a veteran of almost 100
murder cases in which he act
ed as either prosecutor or
counsel for the defense. He
was an attorney for Harry K.
Thaw.
"I think White should be

freed," said Hirschberg. "I
am not working for a plea of
less than first degree murder.
I want him out of jail a free
man."
Mrs. Eleanor White, the de
fendant's wife, has visited her
husband in the Goshen jail
several times since his arrest.
She is White's second wife.
White has three children, two
by his first wife and one by
his present wife.
White was reported to be
holding up pretty well in jail,
but, according to Hirschberg,
he sometimes becomes de
pressed. McNeil Speaks af
CPA Meeting
Don McNeil, secretary of
the Jackson County Chamber
of Commerce, told members
of the Rogue Valley chapter
of the Oregon Association of
Public Accountants recently
that the greatest influx of
new industry in Jackson
county will take place within
the next five years.
He said the Oregon Centen
nial and the Oregon Shake
spearean Festival in Ashland
will play a great part in in
fluencing the migration to the
county.
McNeil reviewed activities
of the Chamber and its par
ticipation in seeking improv
ed highways, which leads to
more industry, greater sports
facilities, more tourist trade,
diversified facilities for forest
products, creating more pay
rolls and educational facili
ties. E. G. Sommer, Ashland,
state president, reported on
the Western Regional Legis
lative conference in San
Francisco Nov. 14 and 15.
Plans for the 1959 conven
tion in Medford were discus
sed. Accountants to

Johnson Not To
Seek Presidency
Washington -CPD- Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson (Tex.) says he's
"not a candidate" for the pres
idential nomination in 1960
He told reporters Wednes
day that not only was he not
a candidate but, "I do not ex
pect to be one and the only
job I"ll seek is the one
hold."
SP 3-6516
Soviet Diplomat
Questioned in
Carving of Gi
Tokyo -flIPD- Police today
investigated reports a Russian
diplomat cut up a Japanese
waitress in a drunken bar
room brawl here early Mon
day after she told him. "I
hate all Communists."
The Tokyo police and For
eign Office are both investi
gating the incident. They
identify the Russian as Vse-
volod Benevolenski, first sec
retary and protocol chief at
the Soviet embassy.
A Soviet spokesman denied
that Benevolenski, whose
wife is in Soviet Russia, had
anything to do with the inci
dent.
Not Seriously Hurt
The injured woman was
cut on the chin and abdomen,
but was not hurt seriously en
ough to require hospitaliza
tion. She told newsmen in her
apartment today that she ex
pects to be up and about by
this week end.
Although the Foreign Of
fice was trying to hush up the
whole thing, detectives at the
Azabu police station, which
handled the case, were quite
willing to talk.
One of them said Benevo
lenski and Toyoko Okubo, a
26-year-old coffee shop wait
ress, sat around a downtown
bar for several hours Sunday
night and early Monday,
drinking and talking.
Along about 2 a.m., he
said, the Russian asked the
girl whether she knew about
the Zengakuren, a Communist-infiltrated
student organi
zation so extreme that the
Communist party has rebuked
its leaders for being too radi
cal. "I know the Zengakuren,"
she replied, "I hate all Com
munists."
At that point, the detective
said, steel started to fly. He
emphasized, however, that on
the basis of the information
so far available "we can't
say whether it (the stabbing)
was deliberate."
