Two Men, Woman Face Oregon Death Chamber SALEM (AP) Two men and a woman now face death in Ore gon's gas chamber. That total doesn't set a record. But Jeannace June Freeman, sen tenced' at Madras for the slaying of 6-year-old Larry Jackson, is the first of her sex to be sen tenced to die. LoRoy Sanford McGahuey. Jackson County logger who killed a woman, is now on death row. Larry West Shipley was convicted at Newport Monday for slaying a young girl. In 1956. there were three men on death row, but the sentences of all were commuted. They are George F. Sack, Port land, who killed , his wife; and two Jackson County slayers, Billy Junior Nunn and James Norman Jensen. Nunn killed a 14-year-old boy, and Jensen killed a woman dur ing a house burglary. i But in 1952, there were four on death row at once. Since the prison started execut ing in 1903, there have been 85 persons received on death row, Only 57 of them were executed. '' There were 40 hangings. In 1937, - the gas chamber replaced the gallows. There have been 17 killed - by gas. ' There was a triple hanging Dec. -.' 13, 1912. 1; But the gas chamber can seat only one person at a time. When two persons are sentenced to be gassed on the same day, one fol - lows about an how! after the - other. Two men were gassed on the night of Jan. 9, 1053. They were ' two Portlanders, Morris 1 Leland and Frank O. Payne. .. Leland killed a 15-ycar-old high school girl, and Payne lulled a . grocer in a holdup. Then, 14 days later, Albert W. . Karnes paid with his life for the ." slaiyne of an old lady in Salem. No'one has died in the chamber 'r- since Karnes. 1 ; Warden Clarence Gladden took over his job three months after Karnes died. . Gladden opposes capital punish- mcnt. tie says it is unfair, argu "' ing that the ones who die often '. are people who can't afford to ! hire good lawyers. . . '. The three people now awaUng' : ' death will get automatic appeals to cne supreme ujuri.; '' If the court upholds file death t ' sentences, then the pressure will be on Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield to commute the sentences. ' ' Hatfield agrees with Gladden MBMORABLD lEillB No IlelpNecclecl To Write Column that capital punishment should be abolished. But he says he would not let his personal feelings interfere with actions of a court or jury. Hatfield says the largest num. ber of those who are sentenced to die are from the lower income brackets. And he says the death penalty is too final, not taking into "ac count the possibility of human error, .and there is no room for flexibility. "However, I want to make It perfectly clear that I will uphold the Oregon law which provides for capital punishment. He says he would commute a sentence only if there were new evidence, or irregularity or error in the judicial proceedings. When Miss Freeman comes here, she will be placed in a pri vate room in the women's quar ters. Gladden says there are no facilities for a woman on death row.

Dear Ann Landers: Clyde and I have a profitable drapery bus! ness which wefce worked hard to build up. His brother usually does the final delivery and hangs the draperies. Yesterday Clyde said he wanted to hang the draperies personally for some lady who is very so. rial because It would be, good for business. He was gone four hours and I began to worry. He finally showed up at home half crocked. I asked him where he had been and, he said they got to visiting over a; few highballs and he forgot what time it was. Also he said his brother had better go hang the draperies tomorrow as he never got around to It. If Clyde had been picked up in the truck for drunken driving it could have ruined us. He claims that personal attention is good for business, and that I Dinner Has 200 Guests Invitation Announcements Napkins Plates Biblei Fancy Gifts JONES' OFFICI SUPPLY 629 Mai TU 2-4408 THURSDAY LADIES AUXILIARY, CANTON Chater No. 7, 8 p.m..

Dear Ann Landers: Since re turning from a month's vacation I've been depressed. Does every one get post-vacation blues or does coming back to this miserable town have something to do with it? Perhaps the real reason for this depression is I just celebrated ? my 33rd birthday. I enjoy my work, but the so cial side of my existence is sterile. Please don't suggest that I join clubs. I m not the clubby type. And if you say "get in terested in politics I'll scream. This letter is from Washington, D. C, and I work in the gov ernment which means eating, sleeping and dreaming politics. Should I transfer to a job over seas? I loved Europe and the people. The romantic possibilities there seemed limitless. What do you say? Am I cracked? D.C, DROOP Dear D.C: You're not cracked. You're bored. A vacation spot Is always more glamorous than the working terrain but since you seem to have fallen in love with Europe I suggest you transfer for a year and see If the s b I n e wears off.
