GAPITOL MEMO
Oregon's Death Penalty Problem
Ms Shadow On 1963
By ZA STARK
SALEM (UPI) The cyanide
caprice associated with the Ore
gon gas chamber is having its
impact on the 1063 legislature,
Sen. Don Willncr. D-PortlandJ
has submitted an anti-death pen
ally bill, and proposed that per
sons sentenced to life be required
to stay ill prison al least 15,
years.
Sen. Thomas Mahoney, D-Port-
hmd, introduced a bill to make it
harder to commute life or death
sentences. Mahoncy's plan would
require Supreme Court approval
before a governor could grant a
pardon or commutation. The Port
land senator said lie wanted to
make a life sentence mean some
thing, and he wanted to lake pres
sure off a governor.
Some of the emotional fervor
may have been dampened by the
stay of Jeannaco June Freeman's
J.'in. 29 date with death.

But Larry West Shipley, 21, oil
McMinnviile is scheduled to en
ter the gas chamber on Feb. 28.
A plan to appeal Shipley's easel
to the U.S. Supreme Court already
has been announced by the Amen
can Civil Liberties Union.
It was Miss Freeman's second
stay. An appeal for Shipley could
result in a stay for him.
There is a similarity in both
the Freeman and Shipley cases.
Miss Freeman's companion in
crime and mother of two children
killed, Mrs. Gertrude Nunez Jack
son, was sentenced to lite u:
prison.
Shipley's companion in the slay
ing of 16-year-old Linda Jean

convicted of first degree murder
and sentenced to life.

"There is no place on Ihc Uni

Surgeons Rejoin Severed Limbs-1
Operation Once Thought Impossible
BOSTON (UPI i Twice within
eight months two separate teams
of surgeons have accomplished
what once would have been called
the impossible reioing severed
limbs.
The two cases involved ulti
mately may prove to be unsuc
cessful. But the very least these
surgeons have proved is that re
joining severed limbs for an ex.
tended period ol tune, perhaps in
definitely, is no longer an impos
sibility.
Their initial efforts someday
may lead to a reduction in the
number of persons who lose limbs
because of accidents.

of Somerville, Mass., had his right
arm completely severed by

To UN Plan
For Congo
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi
dent Kennedy, hailing tlie end of
Katanga's secession, Monday
promised strong support of U.N
plans to help make the Congo a
strong and viable ledcrat na
lion."
Kennedy called on the Congolese!
oublic to rally behind President
Joseph hasavuDU ana rrime min
ister Cyrille Adoula, who "face a
tremendous challenge" in healing
the wounds of two and a halt
years of strife.
Kennedy reaffirmed the U.S.
policy of insuring Congo self-determination
without political in
stability. He pledged the "full support"
of the United States to the United
Nations in helping the Congo with
"the great task of modernization.
which is the most pressing goal
of the leaders and people of that
nation."
'The Congolese leaders face a
tremendous challenge in healing
the wounds of conflict, restoring
a partially disrupted economy and
building a strong and viable fed
eral nation," Kennedy said.
The end of secession. Kennedy
said, was "warmly welcomed by
the United States and all who are
concerned with the future of the
Congo and the whole of Africa."
The United States' objective in
the Congo is neither more nor
less than the establishment of con
ditions under which the Congolese
people themselves can peacefully
work out their own future," he
said.
IRS Limits
Gift Giving
WASHINGTON lUPD-The tax
collector, who took Hie fun out of
expense accounts, wants to take
the influence from business gift
giving.
The International Revenue Serv
ice warns businessmen that it
they want to give tax-deductible
gilts to a customer, a present
worth Rj is the limit.
Anything more is not deducti
ble from their income tax.
IRS, better known (or ils skep
ticism than its naivcle, also
wants information on what the
gift giver expects to get out of the
present; who's gelling it and what
is his occupation, and a descrip
tion of the gilt.
The new series of lax deduction
guidelines was published Sunday
in an I ItS pamphlet titled rules lor
deducting travel, entertainment
and gift expenses.
The lax man has not forgotten
that a wav to a customer's heart
may be through his family. Un
der the l3 rules, the IRS speci
fies that a gilt lo a client's wife
Is the same as a gift to the client
The rule also applies to his chil
dren.
The business partnerships also
come under the IRS regulation.
They are considered a unit, and
only one S3 gift per partnership
to a customer is allowed.

train. Last week, William Hunt,
37, a husky ex-Marine, had his
left leg 90 per cent severed about
half-way up his thigh in an auto
mobile accident.
Today, both the youngster and
the man have these limbs still
attached, to their bodies though
the final results may not be
known for many months.
More Difficult
The Knowics surgery, done at
Massachusetts General Hospital
where a team of surgeons were
waiting for just such a case, prob
ably was the more difficult of
the two. The boy also probably
has a poorer chance of regaining
partial or full use of the limb.
Everett s arm was severed just
below the shoulder and the bone
broken in half. The doctors' first
jutui'cd arteries and veins, then
rejoined the bones with a steel
rod and finally sewed the arm
back into place.
The boy, a Little League pitcher
until his accident, still must un
dergo additional operations yet to
be scheduled. These will involve
the rejoining of nerves, perhaps
the most difficult surgery of all-
Without the nerves, the arm
would be virtually useless, though
there was a pulse and the limb
was warm.
Should this surgery fail. Everett
might eventually lose the arm
Doctors are hopeful this wul not
be necessary.
Different Technique
In the Hunt case, the limb in
volved, the leg of a 200-pound,
6-foot male, required a substan
tially different technique.
Instead of suturing the arteries
and veins first, the Peter Ben
Brigham Hospital doctors decided

They operated in relays, first
joining the bone, then the vascu

A major difference between the
two operations was in the nerve
systems. The boy s nerves all
were severed. The intact 10 per
cent of Hunt's leg included the
all-important sciatic nerve,

Free Press
Supported
By Briton
NEW YORK (UPIl-Democra-
cy is impossible without a free
press, but the last decade has
been a sad one for those who be
lieve in press freedom, a British
critic and journalist said today.
Lara francis-WUIiams told the
10th anniversary convocation of
the Fund for the Republic that
"the existence or nonexistence of
free press is one infallable
touchstone of the claims of any
society lo Be democratic.
Francis-Williams, former cover
nor of the British Broadcasting
lo. ana editor ol the London Daily
Herald, now writes a weekly col
umn on press mailers. Address
ing a session on "The Responsi
bilities of the Mass Media." he
said:
Over almost the whole of Af
rica this freedom is now in re
treat. It has been emasculated or
suppressed in almost every one
ol tne new emergent nations
brought to birth with such pangs
ol democratic hope.
In South Africa it has the
noose around its neck. Nor except
for India where newspapers, thank
heaven, are both alive and kick
ing, is the prospect in Asia much
better. In Pakistan, Burma. Ma
laya, Singapore, Thailand and In
donesia the attributes of a free
press are all denied in some de
gree and in many in large de
gree. So arc they in much of
South America."
Turning to some instances
"countries of a more mature stale
of life." he mentioned "the offi-
ial attempts in your own country
lo suppress, play down or plant
news during tne Cuban crisis and

ments to be' a legitimate part of

Fanfani Returns Home
To Face Another Test
Foreign News Commentary
By PHIL N'EWSOM
L'I'I Foreign News Analyst
Showing little outward sign of
concern, bouncy Italian Premier
Amintore Fanfani returned home
from the United States this week
to face another of the tests which
regularly have plagued Italian
governments since 1953.
It was nothing particularly new
for Fanfani who had his first
crack at the job in 1954 and be
came but one in a bewildering
succession of Italian premiers.
It also seemed that Fanfani
would keep his job at least until
after general elections which
President Antonio Segni is expect
ed to call for April or early May.
Chief opponent in the test fac
ing Fanfani this time was Com
munist Palmiro Togliatli whose
party of an estimated 1.5 million
members had filed a motion of
no-confidence against Fanfani's
10-month-old center - left govern
ment.
Needed Socialists
If Ihc Communist cause were
lo be helped il would come from
dissident members of Pictro Nen-
in s Jell - wing Socialists whose
failure to vote in the Chamber
of Deputies had helped keep Fan
lani's government in ollice and
who now were accusing Fanfani
of betraying his promises.
Overall it was a picture of the

political parties which for 10
years has prevented cstab
lisluncnt of a stable government.
Fanfani's Christian Democrats,
(he dominant party, arc split
three ways, among left, center
and right. The man who held
them together, former Premier
Alcide de Gasperi, has been dead
for nine years.
Smaller, right-wing parties do
not trust them.
Ten months ago. Fanfani
formed his center -'left coalition
which included Social Democrats
and Republicans but depended for
its existence upon a marriage of
convenience with the Nenni So
cialists who agreed to support
measures favorable to their own
platform and to abstain from the
vote on others.
Promised Kelorms
In return, Fanfani promised to
decentralize state admini; tration
by creating 15 regional govern
ments, to, press school and agri
cultural reforms, to develop low
cost housing and to build more
hospitals and health centers, to
act against tax dodgers and to
press for nationalization of cer
tain utilities, notably electricity.
When the chips were down, the
Christian Democrats refused to go
through with the plans for region
al government out of fear that the
Nenni Socialists might rejoin the
Communists to take control.
