The all-male jury took less than two hours to reach its verdict after a week-long trial that stirred the emotions of the entire nation. Those accused were Mrs. Van De Put, 25; her husband, Jean, 35; her mother, Mrs. Fernande Colpel, 50; her sis ter, Monique, 2B; and Dr. Jacques Casters, 33, the fam ily physician. They were charged by the state with the premeditated fatal poisoning of Mrs. Van De Put's tiny daughter, who was born last May without arms after her mother had taken thalidomide during the early stages of pregnancy. Mrs. Van De Put said she gave the baby a fatal dose of barbiturates mixed with hon ey because it was "the only thing to do."

Extra security forces were stationed outside the courthouse to head off any demonstrations, so intense had been the feelings aroused by the trial with sentiment almost universally for the de fendants. Jean Derwael, defense at torney for Mrs. Van De Put, asked for mercy in his final plea to the jury. Derwael told the packed courtroom a verdict of not guilty would not mean there has been a lack of punish ment. "Cuzanne already has un dergone punishment in the form of several months in jail, but above all she has been stricken morally," he said. "The only comfort she got is the assurance she still will be able to give birth to healthy babies." Sentiment in the packed courtroom was clearly on the side of the family and its doc tor. There were frequent out bursts of applause and shout ing, and Friday hundreds of som into community colleges under present law. Whether the state can at ford any state aid for new community colleges In the next two years is the question the interim committee is ask ing. The committee directed the Oregon Education department to bring In recommendations at the next meeting, Dec. 1, on a number of topics, includ ing whether the law should be changed to restrict creation of new colleges in the next bi ennium. Dr. Leon P. Minear, state superintendent of public in struction, said the commun ity college program is not a runaway affair, but he added that perhaps Oregon needs "a more definite statute to allow either the legislature or the State Board of Education to decide whether a new insti tution can be established." He said there seems to be a legal question as to whether the state could withhold ap proval of a new institution once a local area petitions and approves a college in its area.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correipondent Washington (Special) The elections results in Oregon have posed a new responsibil ity for the state's lone surviv ing Republican in Congress, Rep. Walter Norblad, if Ore gon conservatives are to voice any dissent from the propos als of the New Frontier. The victory of Democrat Robert B. Duncan over Re publican Carl Fisher in the fourth district, and the re election of Sen. Wayne Morse and Reps. Al Ullman and Edith Green, means that Ore gon once more has a congres sional delegation which is de cidedly liberal in its view and voting persuasion. Circumstances New This situation is not in it self new, but the circum stances in which it occurs are new. For the four years from 1956 to I960 the delegation consisted of five liberal Dem ocrats and one Republican, Norblad. But those were the years of President Eisen hower's second term, and it was the liberals who were the dissenters, voicing the viewpoint of the opposition or the "outs." Circumstances are now re versed. The Oregon Demo crats will be working hand-in-glove to a great extent with the Kennedy Administration, as they have in the past two years. During this period, 1960-62, the voice of dissent in the Oregon delegation came chiefly from Rep. Edwin R. Durno, the retiring Med ford Republican, who criti cized the administration's medicare plan especially, plus RULING ANNOUNCED Salem - (UPI) - Irrigation districts aren't entitled to fuel tax refunds for operating district-owned vehicles on district property, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said Friday. FABRICS SAFELY 1 SO N mny riwn ltl73l . "" j Medal 6(131 j .! Of Duncan Leaves for Oregon Conservatives in other liberal proposals As an authentic and artic ulate conservative, Dr. Durno played that vital and neces sary role of dissenter or spokesman for the "outs"; and he did it from personal con viction rather than from the posture of a partisan sniper. His voice and vote will be missed by Oregon conserva tives unless Norblad assumes this role. Fisher Would Have Carl Fisher would doubt less have assumed this role had he won Durno's seat; so would have Bob Chandler, the articulate Bend publisher, had he defeated Ullman. Duncan's victory oyer Fisher has al ready revived Kennedy Ad ministration plans for creat ing an Oregon Dunes national seashore park. This park issue may not lend itself to ready ideological alignment as between liber als and conservatives, al though the controversial ques tion of whether the govern ment should take private property for inclusion in the park tends to enflame some conservatives. But Sen. Morse has disliked this fea ture of the park proposal, and Rep. Green has never en dorsed the park at all. Congressman Norblad has taken no position on the park, explaining it is an issue in volving lands outside his ; congressional district. This is j Norblad's customary ap-i proach to avoid entangle ment in any controversy, par ticularly if it can be said to be outside his district. The proposed electric power intertie between the Northwest and California may be a more certain issue to di vide liberals and conserva tives. The private power com panies want to build their own intertie, but the admin istration has held up issuing a special use permit over na tional forest land because of the prospective drive by the government for a " federal fitdtiksgMit! with purchase 1' 21 CU.
