B THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1963 Brown Submits Examples of Why Death Penalty Is Futile MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Sacramento - (UPt - Gov. Edmund G. Brown used the case of two convicted mur derers today as a "shocking example" of why the death penalty doesn't prevent crime. The governor wrot chair man Gordon Winton of the Assembly Criminal Proce dure committee pointing out that a federal Judge had or dered an indefinite stay of execution for Manuel Joe Chavez and Clyde Bates. Winton's committee set April 9 for a full-dress hear ing on Brown's bill to grant a four-year limited moratori um against the death penalty. Chances are that the meas ure, introduced by Assembly man Lester McMillan (D-Los Angeles) will clear its first hurdle and be sent to the as sembly floor, where its fu ture also appears bright. Winton, who said he fa vors abolition of the death penalty except when the mur der Involved is during com mission of another felony or when a prisoner is in custody, predicted the bill would clear his committee on 6-4 vote. "I'm basing this on the past voting records of the mem bers," he said. But in the Senate, the meas ure will run into strong op position. In an attempt to argue his Africans Prefer Speakeasies To Legal Bars By NEIL SMITH Johannesburg, South Afrl-ca-TO-Despito the lifting of African prohibition last Au gust, many Africans here still prefer to drink their liquor In the speakeasy atmosphere of the illegal shebeen. The shebeens have flour ished in the cities of South Africa for decades. Their cus tomers range from gangsters and prosiitutes to African city workers and even the occas ional white man who enjoys the free wheeling, no-holds-barred aura of illicit drinking. Live Jan Some sheebeens have repu tations for providing the best live jazz in Africa today. The survival of the she beens had been predicted even before the new liquor act came into force, theoreti cally putting them out of busi ness. Psychologists, both ami teur and professional, said the lure ot "forbidden fruit1 and sheer force of habit would keep the shebeens busy. Now a sociological survey by the University of the Wlt watersrand has confirmed this. The study was made by four sociology students, all non-whites. They worked in dependently and came to Iden tical conclusions. According to the research ers, the shebeen, selling its liquor illegally, without a bar license, at prices up to double the official price fulfills the function of an African social club. Still Crowded With few exceptions, the scores of shebeens in the Jo hannesburg area are still crowded. The Johannesburg City council has provided "drink ing arens" for the city's 700, 000 Africans, but they are drab, antiseptic pla 'es com pared to the riotous atmos phere of the shebeens. The "drinking areas" are all in the African townships ringing Johannesburg. They do not cater to the mass of Africans working and living In the city. The findings of the research project were summed up by sociologist Lawrence Schlem mer in the newsletter of the University's Institute for the Study of Man in Africa. He said the shebeens flour ish because of the inadequate facilities for Africans In Euro pean areas. "In the absence of adequate meeting places, many of these people have to use the she been not only as a drinking haunt but as a place where friends are entertained," he said. Justice Potter Quips During Prayer Case Washington -(WP- An attor ney for the city of Baltimore told the Supreme Court Wednesday that the city's school authorities had the right to have classes start with prayer recitations be cause it had a "salutary effect on the frame of mind'' of the students. Justice Potter Stewart re marked that "If that's your purpose, give them tranquil izer pills." IN SALEM TODAY City Manager Robert A.

The two were convicted of setting a fire that caused the death of six persons on April 4, 1957 nearly six years ago. Brown said the case "Il lustrates my deep inleiust 1. 1 this matter" and that it was a "timely and striking ex ample of the failure of our present laws on capital pun ishment to carry out the end which society seeks." The governor pointed out uled execution yesterday. And, he said, two previous execution dates had been set for the pair Aug. 14, 1999 and Feb. 27, 1963 only to be stayed by courts. "All Judges, lawyers, law enforcement officials and penologists agree that in or der to be effective, criminal sanctions must be swift and they must be sure," Brown said. "Justice delayed is justice thwarted." Jeep Association Opposes Forest Bill Salem (UPD The Pacific Northwest Jeep association said Wednesday it would be "discriminatory" to pass a law aimed at toughening en forcement of federal forest regulations. The bill is aimed specifical ly at scooters and four wheel drive vehicles that have been roaming federal forests and fields in growing numbers in violation of federal closures. The bill would let such state courts. At present, they are subject to endless delay in federal courts.
