OLSON SHAKES
HORNET'S NEST
WITH PAROLES
Br JOHN W. DUKLAP
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 8 (UP)
Governor Olson really touched
off a hornet's nest when his pa
role board freed the three union
labor leaders who were convict
ed in 1936 in connection with a
shipboard murder.
Ecirl King, Ernest Ramsey and
Frank Conner were the three
men for whom labor demanded
freedom, much in the same man
ner that the "free Tom Mooney"
campaign was waged.
The results of the pardon have
been several. The Tenney legis
lative committee on subversive
activities swung immediately
into an investigation. Attorney
General Earl Warren declared
the paroles were "an outrage to
public decency." Many anti
Olson interests seized the op
portunity to criticize him. Labor
forces were Jubilant. The gover
nor said he was satisfied with
the action of the board, of which
the two man majority is Olson-
appointed.
' Booth B. Goodman, new chair
man of the board, said the case
was handled exactly as any
other would be of less promin
ence. He explained the men were
model prisoners.
Even Westbrook Pegler, the
militant columnist, took up his
cudgel in New York to denounce
the paroles, charging the men
were radicals.
The King-Connor-Ramsey case
is more likely to be remember
ed in the 1942 elections than the
Mooney case, which is now three
years in history. The anti-Olson
forces can be counted on to keep
the case active if possible, to em
barras the governor in. his bid
for reelection.
' From labor's standpoint, the
governor should get strong sup
port from the unions in repay
ment for his sympathetic policies
on labor matters. He has backed
labor solidly on Mooney, his
veto of the hot cargo act, vari
ous other pro-labor actions, and
now the shipboard slaying pa
roles.
Warren's forceful condemna
tion of the case might be the
lever to get him out in the open
on his political aspirations for
1842. There are republicans who
insist he may take a crack at the
governorship. If he should, the
shipboard case will give him a
flying getaway because he prose
cuted the cases and was unalter
ably opposed to their release.
Warren has remained discreet
ly silent on his plans, many feel
ing that he will run for reelec
tion as attorney general, an al
most cinch campaign. There are
reports he has his eyes on a
United States senatorship and is
wary of possible defeat in a gu
bernatorial contest.
No sooner had the paroles
been announced, incidentally,
than the campaign started for a
complete pardon from the gov
ernor. The Pacific Coast Marine
Firemen, Oilers, Watertenders
and Wipers association, said:
"Justice has finally been done to
three innocent men. The labor
movement looks forward to a
full and complete pardon from
Governor Olson, which is the
least the state can do to make
up to these men the five valuable
years they spent In prison."
