Freeman Attorney
Plans Meeting With
Governor
Salem -flIPlu An appeal to
the U. S. Supreme Court on
behalf of condemned child
slaver Jeannace June Free
man may depend on how Gov.
Mark Hatfield reacts to her
plea for commutation to life
imprisonment, United Press
International learned Satur
day. It also was learned the
American Civil Liberties Un
ion (ACLU) would not take
her case to the high court.
Miss Freeman's attorney,
William Holmes of Bend, told
UPI he planned a meeting
with Hatfield "Wednesday or
Thursday" to plead for com
mutation of her death sen
tence. Miss Freeman, 21, Is sched
uled to die in the gas chamber
Jan. 29.
She was convicted of throw
ing a six-year-old boy to his
death in the Crooked River
gorge last year.
Announced Dee. 8
The governor's office an
nounced Dec. 8 that Miss
Freeman was going to for
mally ask Hatfield to com
mute her death sentence.
Appeal to the high court
probably would be delayed
pending a decision on commu
tation by Hatfield.
Hatfield was not available
for comment.
However, his office said
Hatfield had indicated earlier
he would take no action as
long as an appeal were possi
ble or pending.
Loren Hicks, Hatfield's le
gal counsel, pointed out the
stay of Miss Freeman's execu
tion date from Dec. 6 to Jan.
29 was granted to provide
lime for an appeal.
ACLU Not Involved
Holmes told UPI "I defi
nitely know the ACLU does
not plan to appeal the case."
Holmes said "An appeal
might be announced after the
first of the year, but I have
nothing definite to say at this
time."
Hicks had talked with Port
land attorney Carl Niel about
the Freeman case, and said

Niel told UPI the ACLU
was not now involved. "They
feel her case is being ade
quately handled, and there is
no need for them to get into
it because she does have a
good attorney."
Niel also mentioned that
Salem attorney Steve Ander
son had checked the tran
script of the case for the
ACLU.
Niel explained that many
attorney who were active in
the ACLU had become Inter
ested in the case, and were
still studying it although the
ACLU planned no action.
He said "A Portland attor
ney is looking over the mat
ter now, but no decision whe
ther to appeal has yet been
announced."
Niel said "Nobody wants to
base an appeal on frivolous
grounds. We certainly don't
want to prolong the agony"
for Miss Freeman.
If Hatfield takes no action
on the commutation plea, an
appeal must be filed at the
last minute or the execution
could proceed on Jan. 29.
No appeal would be filed
apparently, if Hatfield com
muted her death sentence to
life in prison.

Ilyi.
chev said.
"We should make is abso
lutely clear, there was not
and cannot be any co-existence
between socialist and
bourgeois ideology," he said.
Ilyichev also disclosed,
however, that a startling
amount of objection and re
sistance to the party line !n
all artistic fields has reached
the point of joint appeals di
rected to Khrushchev.
To all indications, neither
Khrushchev nor the party
watchdogs were yet ready to
accept the arguments appar
ently put forward by the lib
eral Soviet writers and ar
tists. The liberals say freer
expression should be permit
ted even if it means tolerat
ing such thinks as abstract
art. Khrushchev particularly
objects to abstract art.

printed portions of Ilyichev's
speech in which he quoted
from letters which in effect
urged Khrushchev not to
stifle the country's artistic en
deavor, as had been done in
Stalin's time, but putting it
in a stylistic straight jacket.
Although Ilyichev assailed
the arguments in the letters,
the fact that Pravda printed
them served to put both sides
of the current argument
clearly before the Russian
people.

They also pried open the

Legislators Say
Proposed Salary
May Be Too High
A salary of $250 a month
during the full two years of
the state legislative term is
too high at this time, Rep.
John Dellenback and Sen,
Lyndel Newbry, both of Jack
son county, said Saturday.
The two men said they re
gretted a majority of the last
legislature struck the pro.
posed constitutional amend
ment which would make any
change in legislative salaries
effective for the following
legislature and not the one
proposing the raise.
"It (the salary proposal )ij
too high because during this
legislative session, we as rep
resentatives of our people,
must call upon every agency
of state government to pare
its expenses to the bone," tha
two legislators said.
"While during the actual
term of the legislature the
legislators spend great
amounts of time on legisla
tive business, during the in
terim between sessions most
legislators are able to do their
legislative work without tak
ing too much time from their
normal breadwinning occupa
tions. Each legislator should
be prepared to carry a por
tion of the sacrifice of time
and energy which is required
to do his job effectively and
well."
The two men said they ap
proved of the principle of a
$20 per diem allowance to
cover expenses since most
legislators must maintain
their own homes and ex
penses of a second home in
Salem during the session.
