Caryl Chessman Ordered To Be In Court for Petition Hearing San Francisco - (UPD - Con vict-author Caryl Chessman has been ordered to appear in federal court Thursday for a hearing on a petition which could cancel his eighth ap pointment with death. It will be his 13th personal court appearance since he was sent to San Quentin Prison's death row in 1943 after con viction on charges of kidnap ing. Tape and robbery. The 38-year-old convict presently is scheduled to die in the gas chamber on Feb. 19. He was scheduled to die seven times previously, but on each occasion managed to win a stay of execution. The new court appearance was ordered Monday by U.S. District Judge Louis E. Good man. The hearing will deal with a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pending before Goodman. Chessman's attorney, George T. Davis, said he may ask the court to require the presence of several prominent Californians, including Gov. Edmund Brown and Los An seles County Superior Judge Walter R. Evans -. who is cur rently presiding at the Finch Tregoff murder trial. Davis said he would also ask that subpenas be issued for state Supreme Court Jus tice B. Rey S c h a u e r; San Francisco Municipal Judge Clarence Linn, a former state assistant attorney general; Los Angeles prosecutor J. Miller Leavy; and Stanley Fraser, court reporter who transcribed notes of Chess man s trial. Chessman contends that Judge Evans improperly con sidered Frazer's testimony in 1958 hearings as that of an expert witness. Chessman English Language Full of Toughies, Speller Declares St. Louis - IUPD - From a speller's viewpoint, there are more toughies in the English language than any other, ac cording to W. McLean John son, president of the Webster Publishing Co Johnson, who describes his firm as the country's largest Dublisher of spelling text books is a strong believer in the need for putting one cor rect letter after another. "Good spelling can make a person just as bad spelling can break him," . he said. "What do you think goes through an employer's mind when he sees an application which contains misspellings?" What makes poor spellers? "Poor spellers are often persons who are not big read ers," Johnson said. "It's near ly impossible to read a lot and not be able to spell." Some Exceptions He conceded there are some exceptions. "Sometimes it's a matter of carelessness," he said. "A per son in a specialized field may write a ' paper containing spelling errors. Spelling might not be as important to him as what he is saying is." Johnson noted there were spelling problems in college. "I believe the reason for the increase in the number of poor spellers is simply be cause more students, from all educational groups, are at tending college now, rather than 'the cream of the crop,' as was the case many years ago," he said. Tops for Half-Sizes i - r But Johnson said there is hope for those who never know when "e" goes before "i." "Words have to be used to be learned," he said. "Words must be analyzed-proof-read, so to speak in order to be learned. Remedial courses now available in many school systems and colleges are help ful." Requires Concentration But any way you look at it, it requires concentration. "There are five simple rules for learning to spell," John son said. "First, you must look at a word carefully, then pronounce it distinctly, noting the sounds and the presence of silent letters. It should be noted whether or not sounds are spelled as you might ex pect and if not, what the dif ferences are. The fourth step consists of writing the word without help and finally to repeat writing until it is en tirely familiar." Some poor spellers would like to throw out the entire language, start over and elim inate the stumbling blocks. "We have no such plans," Johnson said with a grin. 9123 Homemakers' favorite!

It is estimated that there are 21 million cats in the United States, half of which are unattached or strays. says Fraser should have been heard only to tell how he transcribed notes of the trial -as the original court report er died before the transcrip tion was finished. Goodman ordered Chess man brought to court because defendants have a right to be present in appeals involving questions of fact. Chessman alleged that an order from Judge Evans on March 13, 1958, was obtained by "fraud and deceit" of Leavy and Fra ser. The 1958 hearing was heard before Judge Evans. It was ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court to make required cor rections in the transcriptions of the Chessman trial. The possible subpenas of Justice Schauer, Judge Linn and Gov. Brown were con nected with an affidavit filed by Chessman on May 4, 1959. The affidavit said that in 1954 Schauer and Linn con ferred improperly away from the presence of defense attor neys as to how they could cir cumvent a stay of execution issued by the late California Supreme Court Justice Jesse Carter. It was alleged Schauer expressed prejudice and a desire to rush Chess man's death. The affidavit was dis missed, but Schauer later wrote the court's opinion up holding Chessman's convic tion. Brown's connection is that as attorney general he was Linn's superior at the time.
