Has Enough Votes
To Be Speaker
Salem - DM - Democrats

the 1063 Oregon House late
Thursday, and Rep. Clarence
Barton (D-Coquille) said Sat

Barton, an attorney and
president of a title company,

up since the election. I've got
the votes."
Barton was co-chairman of
the ways and mean commit
tee last session.
Other candidates for speak
er include Reps. William
Holmstrom (D-Gearhart), Rich

Edward Whelan (D-Portland).
Whelan, however, said Sat
urday he is a speaker candi
date only If the caucus siiould
end in a tie. This is unlikely,
lie added.
Eymann withdrew Satur
day as a candidate for speaker
and threw his support to Bar

majority, we would close
ranks," Eymann said. "Barton
has a majority, and I support
him."

Liege, Belgium -UPIi- A 12-
man jury found Mrs. Su
zanne Van De Put and four
other persons innocent Satur
day of the mercy killing of
her week-old daughter Cor
inne, who was deformed by
thalidomide.
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

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."
Defense attorneys made no
attempt to deny the killing,
but pleaded instead for com
passion, saying the defendants

More than 1,000 persons
jammed into the courtroom
meant to hold 700 In its final
state. 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

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.

Election
To Speak
By A. 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

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
