Several rioters were injur ed, and several more were arrested. The outbreak was the latest of a series in the past five days in which 14 persons had been reported killed. Author ities comfirmed only one death. A cordon of military police In red and white helmets beat the rioters back from the City Hall, holding them about 300 yards from the building. Their shouts could be heard clearly. Several thousand persons were involved in the demon stration. No shots were heard, al though Gen. Fahri " Ozdilek had ordered troops maintain ing order in Istanbul to shoot if there were any new dem onstrations today. Foreign Minister Fatim H. Zorlu, opening the pact ses sion, said the current Korea style rioting in- Turkey does not affect the nation's unity in support of the Western al liance. Zorlu said Premier Adnan Menderes, whose government is the target of the demon strations, regretted "with deep sorrow" his inability to be present at the pact ses sion. Menderes in Ankara Menderes remained in An kara, the nation's capital, in stead of coming here because of the anti-goverment disor ders. A 24-hour curfew imposed on Istanbul Sunday ended at 4 a.m., and U.S.-made Patton tanks were withdrawn from the approaches to city hall at that hour. However, strong military forces remained in the area. , WEATHER FORECAST Partly cloudy through Tuesday noon. Increas ing cloudiness Tuesday after noon. Rain by Tuesday night.

However, this program Is no cure all, he stated. It will not end dispute, but will provide orderly and peaceful method for settlement. "Courts may make mistakes, but these mistakes are subject to change," the lawyer noted. "The millions of gravestones throughout the world are mute testimony to the un-changeability- of war. The world no longer has a choice between force and law. If civilization is to survive it must choose the rule of law." World Courts He explained what has been done toward establishing a system of world courts for in ternational law. Van Dyke said that a series of meetings were held. He attended 'he meeting in San Francisco. One court is not enough to bring processes, procedures and the institution of rule of law to the world community, the Medford lawyer said. Many international courts are needed, at least one in every nation and more than one in lirger countries. Appeals from these courts of original jurisdiction should be heard by international circuit courts of appeal. Final appeals should be heard by the world court. Evolution at Law Van Dyke traced the grad ual evolution of law in all nations to illustrate that a world system of law could gradually establish itself and become enforceable. DuVircg the ceremonies.

No. 36 Copco Seeks Rate Hike in Oregon And California Residential Users Would Be Affected The California Orciion Pow er company made application today to the regulatory au thorities of Oregon and Cali fornia for a rate increase of a p p r o x i matoly $1,280,000. which after taxes of $707,000 is estimated to produce $574.- 000 of additional electric reve nues annually. This increase, the first for Copco since late 1953, will apply only to residential cus tomers and will add less than five cents a day to the average bill. A. S. Cumins, Copco presi dent, said inflation has out stripped all efforts to keep rates down. The increase is necessary in order for the company to offset rising costs, maintain its financial integ rity, compensate its stockhold ers for risks assumed, and con tinue to meet its public utility responsibilities, lie said. Cummins pointed out that in the past seven years, Copco has invested nearly $88,000. 000 in additions to plants and facilities, in order to meet in creasing customer require ments for electricity and to provide better electric service. Anticipated future growth of this area makes it necessary for the comnanv to continue I to expand its facilities, despite I high costs, ht declared.

They joined some 50 per sons who had kept an all-night vigil on a high hill a quarter mile from the main east gate of the somber-looking prison. The all - night demonstra tion was quiet and orderly, according to police. The group huddled together In the cold evening. From time to time, various members of the group spoke to others. But for the most part the demonstrators chat ted among themselves, sang hymns, sat quietly or slept.

While the execution was underway a federal judge said he would have granted a half hour stay if Chessman's at torneys had "been on time." Chessman died with th words "It's all right" on hia lips. He entered the gas cham ber at 9:32 a.m. ip.s.t). He was strapped to the chair, smiled thingly and said "goodbye" to the guards. Chessman turned to the right, looking straight into the faces of several reporters who knew him and winked. He repeatedly made lip movements apparently saying, It s okay, it's all right, and it's a tight strap." U. S. District Judge Louis E. Goodman picked up the . phone to call the warden to grant a half-hour stay of ex euction when the pellets were being dropped. Goodman said that attorneys George T. Davis and Rosalie Asher took so much time making their plea besides entering it late that it was impossible for him to reach the warden In time. Chessman, who avoided California justice 11 years, 10 months and seven days, was executed in nine minutes. He said he would die like a gentleman, "with dignity," and he did. Even as Chessman died at torneys Davis and Asher were in the chambers of Judge Goodman in San Francisco seeking a stay so they could appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. The California Su-. prema Court and th U. S. Supreme Court earlier today had danled last ditch requesta for a stay. Goodman expressed annoy ance with Asher and Davis. "I don't, know what's wrong with them attorneys," he said. "At least one of them should have been here sooner. I told them I only had the power ' to grant a stay of execution penti.nf a writ of review un der exceptional circumstances and it seemed to me that when a writ of review is pend- n(, exceptional circumstances re involved." The California Supreme Court rejected Chessman's final appeal at 9:14 a.m. by a 3 vote. Then at 9:48 a.m. the court refused to grant a stay of execution. Moments later, an appeal to Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas in Washington was rejected. Warden Dickson said Chess man's last words to him be fore he died were a denial that he was the Red Light Bandit who terrorized Los An geles lovers lane couples in 1948. He said he hoped his case had contributed to the elimination of capital punish ment.
