'Lesser' Crime Motion
Denied In Haines Case
A motion by a defense attor
ney for slayer Jerry Richard
Haines, 24, urging that the issues
of the Klamath County murder
case be "limited to a charge less
than first degree murder" was
denied by Circuit Judge David R.

district attorney, Bob Thomas,
delivered his opening statement

Haines is accused of the gun

Two Thefts
Investigated
Two thefts and two break-ins

and found one of them had been
broken into again and about 25
cases of beer taken. The loss was
set at $85.
Some type of cutting tool had
been used to cut a padlock off
the truck door and police found
the lock in the mud, but it had
been raining and there were noj
well outlined footprints.

at $44 that ho left in a friend's
car parked at 217 North Fifth

Christine. 31, following an argu
ment at the victim's home, 3863
Clinton Street, last Dec. 17. She
had been pregnant with twins at
the time of the shooting.
The defense attorney moved for
lessening the .degree of the mur
der charge on tlie argument that
Thomas, in his opening state
ment, had not indicated that he
would seek to prove Haines acted
with malice or premeditation
when he slew the victim. Malice
and premeditation' must be
proved by the state in a first
degree murder trial.
Judge Vandenberg declared a
recess to study state law on the
question and returned to the bench
a short time later and denied
the motion.
The defense attorneys deferred
making their opening statement
until later in the trial.
The state then opened its case
with the summoning of the first
of two law enforcement officers,
whose testimony concluded tlie
second day of the trial which
started Monday.
Oscar Gcrlcvc, detective scr
ceant of the Klamath Falls police,
identified a group ol photograpns
he took of the victim during an
autopsy, at a local funeral home,
the day following the shooting.
The other witness was state po
lice officer. William B. Bones Jr.
who identified another series of
pictures. Bones told the jury that
the photos depicted various views
of the scene of the alleged slay
ing and were taken within several
hours after the shooting t o o Ki
place.
The selection of the jury com
posed of seven women and five
men was completed about 3 pro
Tuesday after the attorneys for
both sides had interviewed 25 ve
niremen.
The trial will continue Wednes
day and Thursday but will recess
Friday, Feb. 22, since that date
is George Washington's birthday,
a legal holiday.

'Bugs' Musa
SALEM (UPD Senate Presi
dent Ben Musa, D-Tlie Dalles, has
discovered that the Senate cham
bers are "bugged" and he doesn't
like it.
The public address system ' in
the Senate is connected with a
speaker in the governor's office.
The governor can simply turn a
switch, and listen in on Senate
floor debate.
Said Musa. "tlie Senate takes
a dim view of having floor debates
piped into his office.
I think it is a breach of de
corum.
I didn't know the senate was
bugged, although I knew the
House was connected to the gov
ernor's office by Gov. 'Robert D. I

When asked by a reporter why
he didn t cut the w ires. Musa
replied "I don't know where they
are."
Travis Cross, the governor's
press secretary, said the Senate
was wired to the governor's of-
ice w hen tlie loud speaker system
was installed in the senate in
1959.
"We don't listen much now."
Cross added, "(lie sessions aren't
as lively as they were under Sen
ate President 'Walter J.i Pear
son" who served in 1959.
"The goernor can't come into
the chamlxrs and hear what's
going on. If he's on the floor,
people start talking to him. if he's
in tlie gallery, the school children
gather around. ..lie can't hear any
thing that way."
Musa indicated he as sending
a
Senate representative to the
governor today to discuss the sit
uation. "Maybe the Senate should in
stall a speaker so we can listen
in on tlie governor's conferences."
Musa said. "That might be very
interesting "

Log Control Urged
with all the logs they need while
still exporting surplus logs.
Oregon's present law, passed
two years ago, prohibits the ex
port of logs cut from state or
county-owned forests. The idea is
to have them processed in Ore
gon. System Explained
McCraeken said the British
Columbia system works this way:
A logger must offer his logs to
at least three local operations, at
the local, not the export price. He
must sell them to a local bidder.
If he has three refusals, he can
then apply for a government per
mit to export the logs (probably
at a higher price). If the govern
ment agrees there is no local
market, it will grant an export
permit good for one month.
A handful of Oregon lumbermen
at the hearing expressed tentative
approval of the proposal.
McCraeken said a key ad
vantage in the permit system Is
that it is flexible enough to re
flect constant, and often local,
changes i n log supply and
demand.
Price Squeeze
He said unrestricted exports put
mills in a price squeeze caused
by Japan bidding logs up while
Canada keeps finished lumber
prices down. The permit system,
he said, would permit some ex
ports while still keening log prices
down or Oregon mills.

Non-Aggression Pact
Proposed By Russians
GENEVA (UPIl Russia for
mally proposed at today's session
of the disarmament talks here
that the West conclude a non-
aggression pact with Communist
Europe.
The text of a proposed treaty
submitted to the conference would
bind tlie Atlantic and Warsaw
'Soviet-satellite i pads to "refrain
from attack, the threat or use of
force against one anotlier in any
manner inconsistent with the pur
poses and principles of tlw United
Nations Charter."
The idea of a nonaggression
pact has been advanced by Rus
sia before, here and at tlie United
Nations. The West has displayed
little enthusiasm for the idea.
The United States charged to
day that Russia is avoiding agree
ment on a nuclear-test ban. but
said it will continue to press for
"give and take bargaining.''
U.S. chief negotiator William C.
Foster told the 17-nation Disar
mament Conference that the gull
between the Soviet and Western
positions on a test ban "has
deepened."
Referring to the Soviet refusal
to resume direct negotiations on
a nuclear treaty with the West
ern powers, he said "I reluctantly
conclude that the Soviet Union
rather than the United States and
the United Kingdom is intent on
avoiding agreement."
The Russians have been claim
ing here that the two Western
nuclear powers have been trying
to avoid an accord that would
end testing.
"We are willing and intend to
engage in give and take negotia
tions on all major issues which
must he agreed upon if we are
to reach agreement on a nuclear
test ban," Foster told the con
ference. Foster's speech was a final at
tempt to crack Russia's hard nu
clear position before flying to
Washington later in the day for
consultations with President Ken
nedy. Tlie Russians, who broke off nu
clear negotiations in Washington
Jan. 31, refuse to discuss a test
ban treaty unless the West ac
cepts their quota of three annual

who opposed it, he said, were gen

However. Hewlett indicated that
the principal opposition to the bill
was from sheriffs of the various
counties.

siderable savings and eliminate
considerable overlapping in crim

drop it in the legislative hopper
either late today or early tomor
row. It has already been signed
