Wolf Judge,
Scores Rumor
PORTLAND (UP) Circuit
Judge James W. Crawford yester
day scotched reports that a Jury
In the Victor Wolf murder hearing
would serve only In an advisory
capacity.
. Judge Crawford said as the hear
ing opened that he would be bound
by the decision of the jury and
that the Jurors "will try the case."
The court proceedings, however,
were described as a hearing and
not a trial. The court will deter
mine the degree -of guilt and the
sentence to be imposed on Wolf
for slaying Portland attorney Ker
mit Smith. Wolf has admitted the
killing but claimed that Smith's
wife, Marjorie, helped him. Mrs.
Smith has been found Innocent of
that charge.
Judge Crawford denied defense
motions for a hearing without a
Jury and ruled that the Oregon
Constitution prohibits waiver of a
jury in first degree murder cases.
Judge Crawford also announced he
would rule out any possibility of a.
manslaughter verdict unless evi
dence was introduced to make
such a verdict valid.
Multnomah County Dist. Atty.
William M. Langley, for the first
time since his election, appeared
as prosecutor in a major case. He
said he had every reason to be
lieve that Mrs. Smith would be
subpoenaed as a witness In the
case.

Escape Plan
Told By POW
IT. LEWIS, Wash. 11 A one
time prisoner of the Chinese Com
munists told an Army court of
an escape plan worked out
with LU Col. Paul V. Liles involv
ing use of a helicopter to rescue
65-70 Americans held captive in
North Korea.
Capt. Chester W. Van Orman of
Gardiner, Me., testified as a de
fense witness at the court martial
of Liles, 39, of Birmingham, Ala.,
on charges he collaborated with
the Communists while their pris
oner. Van Orman said he and Liles
hatched the escape plan while both
were prisoners in Pyongyang in
1951. It had two alternatives in
the event the helicopter plan fell
through.
The witness said the plan and a
map of the area around the camp
were reproduced on a small piece
of paper which they hoped to smug
gle to American forces. .
The paper was given to another
POW. M. Set. Clifford L. Neel of
Ft. Knox, Ky., who hid it in his
belt.
The scheme was to appear to
cooperate with the Communists
and persuade them to et Neel be
repatriated, Van Orman said. Neel
was to give the map and escape
plan to American Army officers
when he was once more in friendly
hands.
The plan failed because the Com'
munists would not repatriate Neel,
Van Orman testified.
seedlings, 300 superior ones have
been selected to start these master
trees.
Research foresters Dale Bever
and Jack Osrla, who spent a
month picking out the tallest,
strongest and healthiest of the lot
at the Oregon forestry nursery,
will try to find out what made
the 300 trees grow so much bigger
than the others.
They think the reason that the
30o are genetically superior. They
will be watched lor the next five
years.
If these trees keen up their pres
ent rale of growth, the .foresters
will know they have the foundation
for forests of trees which are
much bigger than they are now.
"Those trees which prove to be
genetically superior will be used
to produce seed for a progeny that
will glow-wood quicker and cheap
er in the 21st century. The fast
growing trees also will be studied
for developing strains resistant to
diseases and perhaps even in
sects," the Forestry Department
saia.
Timber companies alsa are co
operating. The project is financed
by the state tax on 4 cents on each
1.000 board feet of timber harvest
ed in Oregon.
