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

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.

Wednesday that the city's

right to have classes start

students.
Justice Potter Stewart re

of setting a fire that caused
the death of six persons on
April 4, 1957 nearly six

Brown said the case "Il

a "timely and striking ex

The governor pointed out

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

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

are subject to endless delay
in federal courts.
