Oregon's Labor Leaders
Outline Legislative Plan
SALEM (UPI'-Labor's legisla
tive program was outlined here
Thursday afternoon before some
200 labor leaders from around
Oregon.
It includes measures on work
men's compensation and unem
ployment insurance, a minimum
wage law, an "anti-strikebreaker"
law, and repeal of the labor man
agement law passed two years
ago.
The meeting was conducted by

Change in Constitution
SALEM (UPD "This commit
tee, can make history," the Joint
House-Senate Committee on Con
stitutional Revision was told here
Thursday.
Sen. Walter Pearson, D - Port
land, made the statement as the
committee met for the first lime
to start consideration of a pro
posed replacement for Oregon's
century-old constitution.
Before the committee is a new
constitution, written during the
past two years by the Oregon
Constitutional Revision Commis
sion. Pearson, a member of the re
vision commission, shares chair
manship of the legislative com
mittce with Rep. John Dcllenbach,
R-Medford.
Pearson said the object of the
evislon commission "was to
write a model constitution, the
finest."
I think that was done," he
said.
He said if it is adopted by the
legislature, Oregon will be the
first state in the nation ever to
adopt a constitution by the com
mission plan.
"I know many of you rave
doubts," Pearson said, "but I
think you will find . . .this can
possibly be done."
Dellenbach said the committee s
job is to tread between the ex
tremes of accepting the revision
as is or rejecting it in total.
Instead, .he said, "the commit
tee must try to come up with "the
(incst product that the people
can be willing to accept.

the report.
"Three Way" Opposed
Labor fought a holding action
two years ago to defeat a three
way" bill that would have opened
the workmen's compensation field
to private insurance firms.
The new bill would only expand
the role of private firms in writ
ing re-insurance.
It also would make changes
strongly advocated by labor, in
eluding a separate board to re
view impairment cases such as
the loss of a leg.
It would expand coverage.. The
jury trial would be retained at
least until 1957.
Marr said the governor's pro
posal has been misunderstood. He
said no compromises would be ac
cepted that would sell labor down
the river.
The unemployment insurance
program backed by labor would
increase maximum benelits, ac
cording to current pay levels
from $40 to about $49. It would
require increases in employer con
tributions into the fund.
$1.25 Minimum
The wage-hour bill would set a
minimum- wage of $1.25 and also
would. cover agricultural workers
The delegates were told the 1961
state labor-management law has
been abused. The law was passed
as a procedure for union elec
tions. Labor said it has been
used, contrary to legislative in
tent, in an effort to "bust up
existing contracts.
Support for its repeal was
strong from the floor.
The strikebreakers bill wouldl
prohibit the ' use of professional
strikebreakers in labor disputes
Other proposals include collec-
tive bargaining for public em
ployes, inclusion of a fringe bene
fit guarantee in public contracts
prohibition of wage garnishment
until a court ruling has been
issued, and tax exemptions for
labor temples similar to those
granted for grange halls.
Labor also said it will oppose a
proposal to reduce railroad work
crews.

Neighbor
Following
By RICHARD BRIGGS
"Lady, I've killed a man.'
That was the confession Zelma
Joan Ochiho, 41, made tearfully
to a neighbor moments after she
killed Bruce Miller, 38, in her
home at 624 Mt. Whitney Street,
last Nov. 14, and rushed next
door to the residence of Mrs. Jan
ice Hankins.
The admission became known
during the testimony of Mrs
Hankins, 634 Mt. Whitney Street,
one of six .slate's witnesses who
testified in tlie first degree mur
der trial of Mrs. Ochiho which
resumed Thursday in the circuit
court of Judge David R. Vandcn
berg.
Testimony during the fourth day
of the trial included statements
Irom Olto Erlandson, operator of
Ihe Pastime Tavern; Doris Pey
ton, 826 North 6th Street; taxi
cab operators John Swain, Ascot
Hotel, and Francis Snyder, 1900
Worden Street, and Otis Washing
ton, 549 Commercial Street. The
courtroom was also the scene of a
flash of temper, directed at Dis-
trict Attorney Dale Crabtrce by
one of the two defense attorneys.
The harangue occurred late in
the afternoon as Crabtree was dis
cussing a legal point with Judge
Vandenberg. While Crabtree was
emphasizing his point, the defense
attorney stood up and interjected
some comments of his own, as he
has done occasionally during the
trial.
Crabtree looked toward the at
torney, remarking, "Why don't
you sit down so I can finish my
speech?"
The defense attorney turned
quickly toward Crabtree and
snapped. "Why don't you make
me sit down!"
Crabtree observed him icily.
"Why don't you come over here
and make me sit down,"' the at
torney repeated.
Crabtree folded his arms and
replied deliberately, "Well, I can
wait here as long as you can."
Judge Vandenberg then injected,
"Let's have no more of this. Get
on with the trial."
Crabtree continued with his
comments, while the defense attor
ney walked about defiantly near
the counsel table and refused to
sit down.
Tlie dispute between the attor
neys occurred' while Mrs. Han
kins was on the witness stand

Tells Jury Events
Miller Shooting
at her home following the shoot
ing and before the arrest of
the slayer- by sheriff's deputies.
Mrs. Hankins told the jury that
she was called to the front door
about 10:40 a.m. on the day of
the slaying. She opened the door
and "was surprised to find
Mrs. Ochiho standing there," in
ferring that the defendant was
not a frequent caller.
Mrs. Ochiho said she came to
ask if either Mrs. Hankins or
her husband had a driver's li
cense and, if so,' would one of
them drive her "someplace."
Mrs. Hankins replied that her
husband had a license but he was
at work. She invited Mrs. Ochiho
into the house and offered to call
a cab.
While Mrs. Hankins went to the
phone in another room she heard
her child and Mrs. Ochiho chat
ting amiably. Suddenly, there was
a sob from Mrs. Ochiho, the wit
ness said. Mrs. Hankins returned
to the defendant and found her
crying.
Mrs. Ochiho sobbed, Lady, I ve
killed a man.
'Don't you think you should
call tlie police," Mrs. Hankins
said quickly.
"Well I've already called Red
(Sheriff Murray Brittoni," Mrs.
Ochiho answered.
The two women then waited for
Sheriff Britton, who arrived mo
ments later with the district at.
torncy and two deputies. .
At the outset of Thursday's pro
ceedings, the district attorney
called Otis Washington to com
plete the testimony he had started
the previous day..
Washington, whose memory had
failed him continually during his
previous appearance on the wit
ness stand, offered one of four
stock answers to most of the
questions asked by the district at

don't even remember, and I don't
aven know that.
At one point during Ihe exam
ination Washington admitted, "I
don't even remember what I said
yesterday."
Several inconsistencies were
noted in Washington's testimony
(Hiring the two days he was
called to testify. On Wednesday,
Washington stated he had been
with Mrs. Ochiho when she shot
Miller in the Mt. Whitney Street
house, but had not observed the
defendant fire the weapon which
killed Miller.
But in testimony Thursday.
Washington gave a detailed ac
count of the shooting. The witness
testified to the following story.
After an argument involving
Mrs. Ochiho and Miller, both
seated at a table in the kitchen
the defendant went to another part
of the room, obtained a rifle and
returned to where her antagonist
was seated.
Washington said she pointed the
gun at Miller's head. Then, amid
a brief exchange of words and a
flury of action, the following
events took place, he related. Mil
ler stood up, grasped the barrel
of the rifle and said. "Y o u
haven't got the guts to shoot. I'm
going to bust you in the 'belly,
anyway.
Mrs. Ochiho retorted, "Oh,
no?" Miller pulled the barrel
of the rifle toward him in an at
tempt to wrench it away from
the defendant, and in doing so
discharged the weapon, the wit
ness stated.
Other witnesses who testified
Thursday commented on various
events which occurred during the
day of the slaying.
Erlandson, operator of the
Pastime tavern, told the jury that
he had observed Mrs. Ochiho and
Miller at the tavern on the morn
ing of the shooting. Once during
that time, Erlandson said he
asked Miller to leave because he
was unruly.
Mrs. Pevton. another witness.
stated that she summoned a
cab for Florene Baker, Kenneth
Wilson, and Washington at their
request, after they called at her
house immediately following the
shooting. Mrs. Pctyon resides ap
proximately two blocks from the
Ochiho residence.
a The taxi drivers corroborated
previous testimony that cahs had
been hired to take Mrs. Ochiho
and her friends to the Mt. Whit
ney Street address and to trans
port the defendant's companions
to a tavern after (lie shooting.

adjacent yard. The firemen had
the blaze under control shortly al
ter their arrival, but the east
room on the back of the house
was completely gutted.
Neighbors moved out the furni

their clothing which was stored
in a closet in the bedroom. The
clolhing of their daughter, Margo,
