Chessman to Appear
For Judge's Ruling
On Habeas Corpus
San Francisco - (UPD - Caryl
Chessman, who studied law
for nearly 12 years on San
Quentin prison's death row,
today faced what may be his
final court appearance.
The 38-year-old convict-au
thor took his life in his own
hands Thursday in in effort
to escape an appointment with
the gas chamber in exactly
three weeks.
He "discharged" his three
attorneys and made a personal
bid for a writ of habeas corpus
before Federal District Judge
Louis E. Goodman. The judge
said he would announce his
decision in the case late to
day; Presents Own Case
Chessman appeared at
Thursday's hearing with attor
neys George T. Davis, Rosalie
Asher and A. L. Wirin. They
requested that Chessman be
allowed to present contested
issues of fact.
Goodman said that violated
all rules of "orderly presen
tation" unless the convict
wanted to discharge his attor
neys and "proceed on his
own." Chessman surprised the
court by declaring that was
his desire.
"You no longer desire to
be represented by counsel?"
the judge said.
Speaks Easily
"That's not correct," Chess
man replied. "I don't want to
discharge counsel. I am com
pelled to do so by your hon
or's ruling."
The self-taught law expert
spoke easily and cited cases
and code sections by number.
During a S'-hour session he
made motion after motion
and Goodman denied almost
all of them.
Chessman was sentenced to
death in 1948 after being con
victed in Los Angeles on
charges of rape, robbery and
kidnaping.

By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special) -Rep.
Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) does
not know who will challenge
it h i m for his
c ongressional
seat but he
knows whom
s he is going to
run against -James
Riddle
Hoffa, the
T eamster
chief.
Norblad and
a Rnbt smith 55 other mem
bers of the House were "fin
gered" by Hoffa in November
for political extermination
because of their votes in the
labor reform battle in Con
gress last summer.
The Teamster president ap
pealed to his union members
for funds to try to unseat
all those members of Con
gress who voted for the Lan-drum-Griffin
bill. But they
planned to focus attention on
56 congressmen in those dis
tricts that are considered
"close" as to election out
comes.
Norblad, the state's last re
maining Republican from
what was an all-GOP Oregon
congressional delegation eight
years ago, has been winning
by decreasing victory margins
in the last three elections. He
was reelected in 1958 by 17,
000 votes out of 173,794 votes
cast. In 1956 he won by 19,000
votes and in 1954 by 41,000
votes.
Informal Group
Under the leadership of
Rep. William Ayres (R-Ohio),
the 56 solons have organized
an informal group entitled
"The Committee to Re-Elect
Hoffa's Enemies." The big ex
pectation of the committee is
to attract plenty of campaign
contributions to finance the
re-election contests of these
legislators.
The National Republican
Congressional Committee has
made up a campaign leaflet
for the Oregon congressman
which contains a reprint of
a news dispatch describing
Hoffa's announced intent to
fight reelection of the 56 lawmakers.
In bold type the leaflet de
clares: "Hoffa demands that you
defeat Congressman Norblad.
He voted for curbs on goon
squads, violence and rackets
in unions. He represents you,
not Hoffa."
Norblad, of course, was not
alone in voting to curb
abuses disclosed in the Team
sters and several other labor
organizations during the Sen
ate investigations by the Mc
Clellen committee. All mem
bers of the Oregon congres
sional delegation voted for la
bor reform legislation.
Norblad incurred the spe
cial wrath of the Teamsters
by voting for a bill that was
regarded by most unions as
too restrictive in areas that
had little or nothing to do
with racketeering.
