Capitol Memo
Target Date Set by
Backers of End to
Capital Punishment
By DOUGLAS GHIPP
Salem - (UPD - Another tar
gel date has been set by those
who want to see capital pun
ishment abolished in Oregon:
1982.
And there Is agreement
among most that the Caryl
Chessman cssa will provide
itimulus to the new drive.
Even as Chessman breathed
his last this week in the San
Quentln gas chamber, the em
bryo of repeal action in Ore
gon was being formed.
Four days before his execu
tion a subcommittee of the
Legislative Interim commit
tee on Criminal Law recom
mended that capital punish
ment as provided by the state
constitution be repealed.
If this is done, the question
of what to do about the su
preme penalty will face the
1981 Legislature.
Duncan Promises Fight
Rep. Robert Duncan (D
Medford), speaker of the
House in 1959, promises a
fight to get the Issue before
the voters again - in 1962, the
first opportunity. A referen
dum for repeal failed in 1958
by only 12,053 votes.
"It would have passed in
1958 if it had not been for the
ballot title," Duncan says. "It
was contusing to many voters.
The way it was worded, you
had to vote no to indicate
you favored abolition and yes
if you wanted to retain It."
"As for Chessman, I can't
help but think he was well
on his way to rehabilitation.
His death will be an Impetus
for abolition. I hope people
don't forget it by 19G2."
Will Favor Repeal ,
Correspondence is flowing
again between members ot
the Orcgun Committee to Re
peal the Death Penalty, a
group of citizens and legisla
tors which fell apart after the
1958 rejection.
Dr. Brock Dixon of Port
land State college, chairman
of the old committee, says
"the net effect of Chessman
will favor repeal. People must
be shocked by the whole
drawn-out, shabby business."
Will Chessman become a
martyr to the cause?
"I hope not," Dixon added.
"A force for repeal, yes. Mar
tyrdom, no. He didn't seem
to be a very worthy char
acter." Dixon says that if the next
Legislature does not act on
the Issue, the question will ba
placed on the ballot in 1962
with an initiative.
Awaiting Appeal Outcome '
Oregon doesn't have a Caryl
Chessman. But it has a man
who's been sitting a stone's
throw from the gas chamber
for almost one and a half
years.
Harry William Braley, Portr
land, has been on Oregon's
dealh row since Sept. 29, 1958,
the same month he was con
victed of first degree murder
and sentenced to dealh. He's
awaiting the outcome of a
State Supreme Court appeal.
The state said that in a
drunken rags in May, 1958
the 38-year-old fry cook fatal
ly stabbed his wife in Port
land with a butcher knife.
An automatic appeal was
filed in December, 1958. As
matters stand, it could be next
August before the appeal
could be placed on the Su
preme Court docket.
Wait 'Unusually Long'
Braley's court - appointed
lawyer, J. Raymond Carska
don, Portland said that Bra
ley's wait is "unusually long"
for Oregon.
A year passed while the
transcript of the trial was be
ing prepared in Portland.
"The Multnomah County Cir
cuit Court reporter was so
lied up with other affairs,
Carskadon said, "that it was
not possible to get it any soon
er." Carskadon admits, too,
that he has taken his time in
filing briefs.
Bruley could sit on death
row for quite a while yet.
Carskadon says that if the
state high court turns down
the appeal, he will take it to
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Warmer Weather Should
Improve Chinook Angling
on renovation and new pro
jects in the 60-square blocks
of downtown St. Paul. That's
an average of more than one-and-a-half
million dollars for
each block In a two year
period.
O f f i c a I s generally agree
that the recovery of the bus
iness area had its origin in
the Capitol Approach project
after World War II.
Many Tenamenis
The most jitrikinr ynmnla
of the deterioration of St.
Paul at that time was the
many tenements and run
down business establishments
that surrounded the Capitol
Building, located atop a long
low hill overlooking the
downtown area.
When the war endprf h
legisalture approved a bill
permuting the state to acquire
several sauare blocks nf th
blighted land. Work started

uut today results of the
program can be seen at a

In place of the battered

ernment. The buildings are
spread over several acres of
neat landscaDe.

As one observer put it:
"The downtown area has
finally come to lite. It didn't
have much choice. It was
either build or die."
