Pac. Hiway Phone SP 3-6363 D'Aufremonf Parole Carefully Weighed by Board (Continue from Page 1) The parole board Monday after carefully weighing the issue, decided upon freedom. "I haven't had time for this to sink in. Perhaps it will be gin to percolate after a while," D'Autremont said when informed of the news. The first time he was out of the prison during the last 31 years was this year when he was taken by car over the new Baldock Freeway from Salem and Portland for a court hearing. He said he was impressed with the new auto mobiles and particularly the smooth roads. He said he had never watched television except in a few movies at the prison but he said he had read about it and that it didn't seem to be too good. "I'm not anxious to see it," he said. D'Autremont, his o n c i sandy-colored hair now gray ing at the temples, said he wanted to find a job in a printing shop and live in ob scurity. "I've had all the pub licity I need," he said. Model Prisoner Deputy Warden Gregory Boyd said Hugh, who has worked in the prison print shop since 1932, was a model prisoner. "He was as reliable as a hired worker. Society has received its pound of flesh," Boyd added. Former Oregon Attorney General George Neuner, who assisted in the prosecution of Hugh and his twin brothers, Roy and Ray, for the murder train robbery said the parole was an "outrage!" "It was a diabolic crime," he said. "They murdered four people there. It just goes to show that a sentence of the court doesn't mean anything, nor the expression of a jury." D'Autremont's stepmother, Mrs. Nellie D'Autremont of Eugene, said she was delight ed that Hugh was being re leased after all these years, She said Hugh and his broth ers were "good kids except for this one thing the rob bery. Southern Pacific railroad officials had no comment on the parole announcement. The four men who died in the robbery attempt were Sid ney Bates, engineer; Marvin Seng, fireman; C. O. Johnson, brakeman, all shot, and E. E. Dougherty ,'postal clerk, killed in the blast. Oregon Student Takes Own Life Carmel -(CPU- A Monterey Peninsula college student shot himself to death with a rifle Monday while his landlady was attempting to telephone police for help. The victim was identified as Otis Weaver Burchell, 24, Valsetz, Ore.; Authorities found no reason for his ac tion. The youth's landlady, Mrs. Janet Allen, told police Bur chell was acting strangely Sunday night and went for a walk. When he returned early Monday, she saw him take the carbine from under a couch. Mrs. Allen tried to take the rifle from Burchell and then ran to call police when she was unsuccessful. The youth fired the fatal bullet as she was dialing the police station. SOUPS: Chicken a la Rein or Tomato Juice Stock Rally Fails To Meet Success New York-(CPD-Stocks tried to rally today without suc cess because of further realiz ing the profits in the indus trial section.

De Gaulle Seen As Main Balance Wheel of Group Paris -WPD- Premier Charles de Gaulle emerged today as the main balance wheel of a new National Assembly ex pected to be overwhelmingly right-wing. De Gaulle has been accused by Communists and other left-wing elements of going all out for a right-wing re gime, but election results indi cate his views are farther to the left than those of most members of the new cabinet. Biggest winner in the first round of the elections was the Union for the New Re public (UNR), a party set up by ambitious Information Min ister Jacques Soustelle a few months ago. The UNR cam paigned on an out-right Gaul list platform and won much support from Frenchmen who regard the general as the man who saved the nation from civil war last May and June. Only 42 of the 465 depu ties from Metropolitan France were elected Sunday and ex perts predicted the UNR would have around 130 seats in the new assembly after next Sunday's record round of voting. With the support of the 71 deputies from Algeria-almost all of whom are expected to be far right wingers-the UNR will form by far the largest parliamentary bloc. $110,922 Raised In Crusade Drive A total of $110,922, 84 per cent of the $131,030 goal, has been collected in the United Medford Crusade campaign, workers reported at yester day's report meeting. - Money collected equals about the amount collected at this time last year, but the percentage is lower, officials said. This is because the cam paign goal this year is larger. The logging section of the lumber division reached? 100 per cent of its goal last week, chairmen reported, and the professional division reported reaching its goal. Dick Nelson, special events chairman, reported that $164. 80 has been raised by YMCA Tri Hi-Y clubs through dances held after recent football games. Dick Travis, general cam paign chairman, asked resi dents who have pledge cards to contact the United Medford Crusade at SPring 3-4287. "Medford is the only city in the state that has never failed to reach its established goal," he said, and "this record is at stake now."
