Brown Won't Intervene To Save Killer From Execution By United Press International Gov. Edmund G, Brown an nounced that he will not in tervene to save Alexander Robillard, Burllngame police killer who is scheduled to be executed at San Quentln April 26. , . Robillard, now 20, was con victed by a San Mateo county jury for the murder of Eu gene Doran, a , Hillsborough police officer, early on the morning of Aug. 5, 1959. The officer stopped him aft er Robillard had stolen one car and burglarized another. Doran, whose third child was born after his death, died from six bullet wounds, at least one possibly fired after he was on the ground. Hearing Conducted Brown announced his deci sion less than 24 hours after conducting a clemency hear ing for Robillard in Sacra mento. During the hearing, the gov ernor indicated that Robil- lard's "extreme youth" both ered him. He said that if Ro billard were "over 21, there wouldn't be any question" about letting him be executed. The youth was under Inves tigation by the FBI as the possible ringleader of a car theft gang at the time of the slaying. San Quentln prison authori ties said Robillard was noti fied of Brown's decision but showed "no reaction" what ever. He merely said, "Thank you," and turned away, they reported. At his news conference lat er, Brown declined to com ment on his reasons for refus ing to intervene in the Robil lard case, but he said the youth is the first minor to be executed during his adminis tration. Letters From Inmates "This is also the first time I've got letters from two In mates on death row asking for clemency" for another Brown said. He claimed this fact gave the pleas some weight. The letters came from IACH The Family Council Editor'! Notei'Tha Famllv Council aonslsti of Jtldee. DiychlA trlflt, three clergymen, three editors and women's editor.

' Ella R.-He's my sun, moon, and starsl Gene R. I was 45 when I married Ella three years ago and I thought I had done a good job of caring for myself up to then. She was about the same age and now, since there are no children, she seems to have developed a mother complex about me! Suddenly I'm her baby, her big Job in life. At first I en joyed all the fuss. After years of lonliness it was nice to have someone care whether I remembered to wear my rub bers and get my suit pressed. But now I find It oppressive. get inspected each morning just like I did in the Army.. The sun can be snining, dui if Ella feels it's going to rain, I must take an umbrella. This makes me look like a jackass and I check it in a box at the subway station. After lunch each day I must call her and tell her what I ate. I hear fellows complain that their wives neglect them. Boy, I should be so lucky. . Ella R.-I met Gene through mutual friends and they can't get over the improvement in his health and appearance since our marriage. He used to look nasty and seedy be cause he didn't eat right or kecD his wardrobe in shape, Many's the time my friend invited him over for dinner, to put a square meal under his belt. But now look at himl He s Dut on 30 pounds where he needed them. His cheeks are rosv. and he hasn t had a sick day. There's no reason for complaint. Sure, I ask him to hone about his lunch so I can plan the right dinner. I want him to keep a well balanced diet. But he'd call home any way because he's an endless chatterbox. I keen the talk Beared to important topics Gene should appreciate my devotion. For one thing, no body laughs at his get-ups any more. He used to wear yellow tics, erecn suits, purple socks! Now he has me to idolize and watch over him. The Council: In the average marriage there are children and then, grandchildren Along with children come out side Interests in organizations and causes which affect them such as the P.T.A. and Boy Scouts. And later each of the partners is free to take on new challenges, projects to en rich them culturally or finan cially. But Ella, poor frustrat ed Ella, is directing all the energy that might be required for the above interests to one captive, squirming o u tl e t: Gene. For Ella we borrow some lawyer-language: "Cease and deslstl" With all her .good intentions, there's a price tag attached to her excessive min istrations in Gene's behalf. It's invisible but he's toting it up and it frightens him. He must return to her the stag gering sum total of satisfac tions which most other wives receive from a dozen sources! To her, he must serve as mate, family, job, career, and Hon or Roll. When all he contract ed for was companionable hus band. .We get. the impression, in view of Ella's age at marriage, that she finds it hard to form new attachments and that once she effects a relationship she clings to it for dear life. But this can be suffocating to the victim. With Gene's bless ings and encouragement, Ella must turn her gaze outward and expend some of her vast reservoir of love ahd solici tude on those who .thirst for some. How about babies or clderllcs? Actually Gene can't be as sore as he ; sounds. ' With wife who cares that much, maybe he's bragging. , Origami tetfures Conducted atSOC Ashland-Demonstrations in Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, are being pre sented to Southern Oregon college students attending the elementary art education classes, Miss Marion Ady, chairman of the art depart ment, has announced.
