- o O O HER.y.D AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Thursday, October 11, 1961 Chorus Girl Burglary Trial Has 'Hung' Jury POTTSVILLE, Pa. AP- The burglary trial of former chorus girl Lillian Reis ended with a hung Jury Wednesday night after the panel was unable to reach a verdict on prosecution charges that she plotted a $478,000 theft, then used some of the money to purchase a nightclub. ' Judge Charles W. Staudenmeier dismissed the panel of live worn en and seven men after it had reported for the second time it was hopelessly deadlocked. The jury, which had heard more than 40 prosecution witnesses and defense witnesses during the five- week trial, had deliberated w'i hours since receiving the case late Tuesday. An unimpeachable source said that on the first ballot the vote was 6-6; then on the second bal- lot and at least 18 thereafter the vote was a steady 7 for convic- tion and 5 for acquittal. The source said that all five women were for convicting her in the Aug. 7, 1959, burglary at the home of coal magnate John B Rich. Miss Reis, 32, a striking bin nelte, stood without expression as she heard the jury foreman, Coraj Thompson, toll the judge: "There is no change whatsoever; it is still the same as before." Then Staudenmeier, who pre sided over the trials of three men convicted in the burglary last spring, told the jury: "This is something we regret, that you are unable to arrive at a verdict All the court can do for its parti is to explain the law. The jury must find the fact. You are dis charged." Miss Reis, who was released in $15,000 bail, told a newsman shel felt she should have been acquitted. But, she added, "it's pretty much of a relief and a step in the right direction, don't you think?" Asst. Dist. Atty. Calvin Fried- berg, the prosecutor, said that he assumed Dist. Atty. Kobert Har ris intends to retry Miss Reis on the burglary charges. SCHOLAR Jim Nor land, son of Mr, and Mn. Hans B.

UO Plans"' To Be Seen In Klamath A proposal for a $12,645,000 building program for the Univer sity of Oregon, to cover the 19B3 65 biennium, will be presented to the Oregon State Board of Higher Education at the Oct. 23-24 meet ing in Klamath Falls. The proposal, explains Comp troller H. A. Bork of the state system offices, will be presented (along with a list of the needs of other institutions of the state system! to the board for the pur pose of delineating the needs of the university so that application can be made by the board for federal planning funds. The proposal itself is not to be presented to the board for ap proval, Bork said. The university's building pro gram, as outlined in the proposal, Is based on projected enrollment for 1966. The building statistics an ticipate a slower rate of enroll ment increase through 1966 than in the past four years, when it has averaged 13 per cent. The projected increase would be at the rate of 6 per cent an nually, which is the national pre dicted average. For the past four years the pro jected enrollment figures for the university have proved conservative. On the basis, however, of the 6 per cent annual increase, the university would have an enroll ment of around 11,500 in 1966. The building proposal, as out lined by Universiy Business Man ager J. O. Llndstrom, would in effect move the program ap proved by the state board in I960, from the 1965-67 biennium -to the 1963-65 biennium.

The statement was made by Dr. Keith R. Bridston. of the American Lutheran Church, who is a former executive secretary of the Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches. Bridston spoke to the Faith and Order Conference, a gathering of representatives from 18 Protest- int denominations in the North west, studying the possibility of church unity. The conference, at a camp a few miles east of Portland, is one of the first regional confer ences designed to study the prob lem of unity at the grass-roots level of church organization. A Roman Catholic priest was pres ent Wednesday as an observer. The general opinion of Bridston and other speakers Wednesday was that unity of organization was much further away than unit v of belief.
