Under the new program, effect ive Wednedsay, purchase will oe allowed to moke down pnymenla 20 lo 60 per cent leas than those now required under Hcguinnon a. which has been In effect nearly two yeans. On the least expensive houses, down payment requirements were cut In half. On the most expen sive, they were reduced 20 per cent. The relaxed controls program means Uiat only 6 per cent will be needed In down payments on some houses and that the maxi mum required will be 40 per cent. The action was announced by tho Federal Reserve Bonrd. Here la what the board order will do: 1. On houses costing (7,000 or less 5 per cent down payment will be required; It has been 10 per cent. 2. On houses costing $25,000 or or more, 40 per cent win De re quired: It hns been 60. 3. On houses between those figures, a sliding scale fixes re quirements nt a sum between 10 nnd 40 per cent of the sale price. The order applies only to new housing, that is, private residences built since October, 1860, when Regulation X went Into effect. There were no controls on houses built before the effective date of Regulation X. Time limits for paying off mort gnge credits were not changed The maximum period for paying off mortgages on nouses costing less than 112,000 remains 2i ycors: on higher priced proper ties, ao years.

Leland was 22 at the time. His lawyers, In appealing to the Sup reme Court described him as a mentally 111 aex offender. They asked the tribunal to overturn the Oregon law's requirement of proof oeyono a reasonable aouot in in sanity pleiui. Justice Clark delivered the ma jority decision, declaring that while Oregon Is the only stale with that kind of statute, "we cannot aay that policy violates generally ac cepted concepts of basic standards oi justice." j Justice Frankfurter wrote a dis senting opinion In which Justice Black Joined, calling the Oregon law a "legal oddity."- Frankfurter added: , .; "From the time, that the law which we have inhlerted has emerged from dark and barbaric times, tlie conception of Justice which has dominated our criminal law has refused to nut all accused at the hazard of, punishment If he (alls to rehtove every reasonable doubt of his Innocence In ihe minds of Jurors. It la the duty of the government to- establish his guilt ueyona a reasonable aouot. . . "For some unrecorded reason Oregon Is the only one of the 48 states that has made Inroads upon that principle by requiring the ac cused to prove beyond a reason able doubt the absence of one of the essential elements (mental cul pability) for the commission of murder. , . "It Is deprivation of life With out due process to send a man to his doom If he cannot prove be yond a reasonable doubt that the physical events of homicide did not constitute murder." Clark's opinion said that while Oregon is the only state that re quires proof beyond a reasonable aouot, some 20 states call for "a preponderance of the evidence or some similar measure of persua sion." He added: "We see no practical difference of such magnitude to be signifi cant in determining the constitu tional question we face here. "Oregon merely requires a hea vier burden of proof." Morse Fails In GOP Bid SALEM Iff! Sen. Wayne Morse, Republican National convention delegate, has been denied any ot Oregon's posts on convention com mittees. At an organisation meeting ot the IB delegates here Saturday, Morse was nominated for the Im portant platform committee.

Main ODDOSltlnn to Mors puma front Gordon Orput, Portland dele gate, who said, "It would do more harm thnn good to nut Morse on nnv committee. He's a controver sial not potato because of his New Denllsh attitude." Jioward Dent of The Dalles, who nominated Morse, sa d the senator should get the post "not onlv be- cause oi nis Knowledge of the na tional picture but because we have to hove a liberal platform.

The letter avoided an ultimatum but the Communist negotiators pro tested tne recess as illegal ' De cause they did not consent to It. and have called for immediate meetings. The U.

"On June ft and 9." the text read, "your delegates imperiled the armistice conference- by -refusing to open talks t Pwimunjom."

Two Year Pact Basis Of Talks By NORMAN WALKER WASHINGTON M An agree ment running perhaps two years to mid-1954 appeared near Mon day In the steel strike. . ncKuwBujra reureBeiiiinir uie in dustry and striking CIO Steel- the verge of a compromise tha,t would give the workers a boost hi wages and other benefits worth about 22 cents an hour per man. A source close to tne peace talks in the White House told a report er that Monday's mid-afternoon meeting of the three-man negotia ting teams representing both sides was "likely to be crucial, with a 'yes or no' answer." UNION SHOP, .,; , ' This source said union President Philip Murray probably- will get some form of the union shop, an arrangement unoer wmcn au tne industry's workers would have to pay union dues. This is the fifth straight day of negotiations which John R. Steel man, assistant to President Tru man, described as "earnest bar gaining." it looked like the par ties were determined to reach an agreement. CONTRACT A two-year contract deal, besides solving the present crisis and re storing vital steel production, would insure peace In the industry for a long time to come. It would be another step In the recent trend of writing long-term labor-management pacts. Most au tomobile companies are now oper ating under five-year agreements negotiated In 1950. PACKAGE PLAN , ' - An agreement on the basis of a 22-cent package would probably give the workers a 16-cent hourly boost in earnings now averaging close to $2 an hour. The additional live or six cents would be in im proved vacation, shift and holiday arrangements. 1 Such a deal would vary some what from settlement recommen--dations-. made -bj! ,ithe -Wag.. Sta bilization -Board several months ago. The WSB recommended a 13 'V cent pay increase effective last January, with 3 f-cent added in creases this '.July '1. and next January 1. ', The 16-cent straight Increase for the life of the contract would run about the same as the WSB's three-step proposal. The WSB also recommended a union shop.
