NEW CENTER The Valley Professional Center, Highway 99 north of Medford, held open house Sunday afternoon. The building, of masonery construction with rock front age, was built by Dr. Cleatis D. Lemley, Chessman's Attorney Names Man Said 'Real' LA Bandit San Qucntin, Calif. - lUPIt -An attorney for Carl Chess man named a man Monday he said might be the "real" Red Light Bandit - but the convict author's prosecutor said the claim was Just another "fairy tale." Chessman, 38, is scheduled to die in the San Quentin gas chamber next Monday morn ing for the Red Light Bandit's crimes of kidnaping, robbery and rape. He was convicted in Los Angeles in 1948. Attorney George T. Davis brought the name of Charles (Joe) Saverine Terranova back into the case late Monday, shortly after the U.S. Su preme Court denied Chess man his 16th appeal for a full scale review of the case. It also rejected his bid for a ninth stay of execution. Terranova, 39, served tune in San Quentin for burglary, auto theft and robbery. He is sought at present as a parole violator and on charges of writing bad checks. Chessman first mentioned Terranova at the time of his arrest. The missing man was mentioned again during the 1948 trial, but since he has been on death row the con vict-author has steadfastly re fused to accuse anyone. ChMaman Bllll Hopeful However, Chessman said during an exclusive interview Monday that he saw faint hope of escaping the gas chamber for the ninth time on the basis of "new evidence" involving Terranova. The alleged evidence was presented in Davis' office by private Investigator William Linhart, Richmond, Calif., and Argosy magazine writers Milton Machlin and William Woodfield.

They claimed there was strong evidence to suggest that Terranova came closer to fitting the description of the Red Light Bandit than Chess man does. Terranova was a known associate of Chessman and served with him in prison prior to the crimes in Los Angeles lovers' lanes.

The word an in the slo gan of James Rossman, Port land insurance man, was in advertently changed to "and making the slogan read: "Nixon for president elect and experienced, qualified Republican to represent you Could Cost Election The lack of a period after "president" was the way the slogan was submitted, Ap pling's office said. In a telegram to Appling, Rossman said the mistake makes the slogan "incompre hensible, ungrammatlcal and illiterate. It could result In my losing the election." Later Rossman said that "because of the expense to the taxpayer, I wouldn't think of making them correct it. All I wanted them to do Is to admit that the error was made so that I would not be held responsible for it." Not Serious Enough Jack Thompson, state elec- lions director, said "despite the many adjectives he (Ross man) employs In his press re lease he has stuled to us that he does not consider the typo serious enough to spend any significant amount of tax payer's money correcting. "We certainly agree with him on that. I would certain ly hate to think, as he sug gests, that the outcome of an election rests on such a trivi ality." Marvin Madden, Jackson county clerk, said this morn ing he corrected the Rossman slogan, on his own authority, before the ballot went to the printers. "We were sure It was an error," he said. "It just didn't read right the other way. So we corrected it." osteopathic physiciun and surgeon. Facilities are available for three or four more doctors in tne clinic, Dr. Lemley said.

They also stressed there was no testimony describing the hawk-like nose of Chess man - one of his most prom inent features. Prosecutor Has Picture Deputy District Attorney J. Miller Leavy, Los Angeles, who prosecuted Chessman, said Terranova didn't resent ble the condemned man in any way. Leavy said he has a photo of the wanted man. Chessman said during his interview that he still found room for slight optimism, in contrast to his statements of last week that he Jiad reach ed "the end of the road." "But each time you face what you think probably will be death, it doesn't get any easier," the condemned man said. "I don't let too much emotion or hopefulness creep into this. "Everyday realities are not real for you any more. You know that the spring air is not for you. You hear announce ments of next week's radio programs - and you say, 'Sorry, I won't be here'."

It brought de Gaulle new recognition as the savior of his country's political struc ture and as a tower of strength in the Allied camp as it prepares to meet Russia at the summit next month. The warm-hearted public welcome and high official praise were evidence of the French leader's success in his dedicated campaign to restore the "grandeur" of his country. Seeks Equality But his visit failed, as he know it would, to bring the one thing he wants most for his beloved France complete equality with Britain and the United States in global mili tary and political strategy with a veto power over deci sion of the Allies when he dis agrees. De Gaulle's demand for place in a global triumvirate was first set forth In a memor andum to President Eisen hower and British Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan in Scptemper 1958. They have never - bought the idea and probably never will. De Gaulle knew there was no point pushing it now, so he didn't. But the idea is not dead. It lives on in the mind of the man who sees in him self the personification of France's glory. It is not likely to die. Avoid Controversial Issues Eisenhower and de Gaulle, in their Camp David and White House talks, reached re sounding accord by concen trating on things their foreign ministers already had nailed down allied policy at the summit on disarmament, Ger many and Berlin. They were careful not to spoil the warmth, comradship and high hope and resolve. They sidestepped issues on which they had no hope of reaching agreement. De Gaulle dropped his pro. posal that the West invite Rus sia to join in limiting arms shipments to turbulent Africa. The French leader also re frained from pressing for his plan to invite Russia to join in a cooperative East-West program of aid to Africa and other underdeveloped areas. He had found that Eisen hower didn't think it would work. Committee OK's Youth Corps Plan Washington (UPO The Sen ate Foreign Relations commit tee has approved a proposal of the late Sen. Richard L. Neuberger of Oregon asking study of a plan for a youth corps to train young people to serve overseas in programs of technical cooperation. The committee included the plan in the mutual security authorization act of I960. Under it the president would arrange for the study of advis ability regarding e s t a b lish ment of the corps. Mrs. Maurine Neuberger, widow of the senator and can didate for his Senate seat, said she was gratified by the committee action because it gave recognition to the late senator's interest in oppor tunities for young people and In foreign affairs. Oppenheimer Points To Scientific Gap Portland - (UNI - Atomic physicist J. Roger Oppenheim er told about 1,000 persons at Reed College Monday night there is too big a gap between the common man and scien tists on the verge of great dis coveries.
