The Rumble Bees was cited for the role its members played in Roscburg Aug. 7 after a truck loaded with explosives blew up. The explosives, equivalent to 52 World War II blockbuster bombs, wiped out nearly 12 blocks In the city of 13.000 persons claimed 13 lives and did more than $13 million dollars property damage.

Poet Who Escaped Death Favorite Of Con-Author SAN QUKNT1N, Calif. (AP) - Caryl Chessman's favorite lit crary figure through nearly 12 years in a death row cell is Fran cois Villon, roguish 15th century French poet who twice escaped hanging. Villon, celebrating his second reprieve from doom, wrote a jubi lant eight-line ballad which said, in unmctered English translation: "What d'you think of my appeal, Gamier? Was I wise or a fool? livery beast looks to his own skin, And when he's trapped and held he docs his utmost to get free, if he can. "When this homily (death sen tence) was sung to me, without rhyme or reason, "Was that the time to keep my mouth shut, hey?" The verses of Villon, born in 1431, have particularly direct ap peal lor him, Chessman smiling ly acknowledged in an interview. Chessman's gas chamber ex ecution has been stayed eight times by persistent, appeals. His prolonged appeal struggle aroused worldwide attention and consid eration by the California Legisla ture of repealing the death penally. A legislative committee early Thursday rejected a bill which was aimed at abolishing capital punishment. Chessman's next date with death, after a reprieve ordered by Gov. Edmund G. Brown is .May 2. lie originally was sen tented in June 1!)48 for conviction of kidnaping, robbing and sexual ly abusing two Los Angeles wom en. Omnivorous reading has been his chief relaxation, Chessman said, when he could take time off from reading law and writing briefs and letters in his marathon struggle for survival. By mutual understanding among the condemned prisoners, now numbering 20, talk exchange and chatter knocks off at 11 p in Chessman settles to his reading in the quiet night hours and stays at it until 2. 3 or 4 in the morning lie said his law reading steered his interest toward history and how present law derives from the past. He has thoroughly studied the period of the English Magna Charts, reluctantly granted as an original bill of rights by King .lohn June 15, 1215. The precise dale was ready in Chessman's mind. Benvenulo Cellini, the Florcn tine goldsmith, sculptor and artist attracted Chessman's interest be fore Villon as an historical figure in conflict with authority in his time. Cellini was a hell-raiser and a roisterer. Villon is known as rogue and troublemaker. Rut also they were creative," Chessman declared. "I don't mean to argue that you have to be a villain to he crea tive. But as a consequence of what they were, or perhaps in compensation, these men pro duced historically great creative works." Besides his reading of choice. Chessman has completed consid erable university extension cor respondence study in death row. This work has included courses in French, psychology, history and mathematics, lie said he has cov ered llic equivalent of three col lege years. Chessman completed the last two high school years in a pre vious San Qucntin term. He also became quite expert then in short hand and typing.
