' X AVI BOAT LAUNCHING SITE A gravel surfaced boat launching site provides sports men with the only small craft launching ramp on the east side of the lake. Later this summer when the spring reaches its low water mark, the Klamath County Park Com mission will arrange to lay a concrete surface over the lower end of the ramp and cover the upper end with an asphalt coating. BRIDGE SPANS BARCLAY SPRINGS A wooden footbridge which bisects the sev. en-acre park, will take pedestrians from the picnic area to the trailer park and boat launchinq site. In eerly Klamath County history, the springs once teemed with salmon and were a favorite stopping point for travelers en route north and south. One of the favorite restinR places fnr travelers who jour neyed alone the east shore of Klamalh Lake during Orecon's early history has become desig nated as Hagelstein Park and will open to the public later this summer with facilities attractive to the overnight trailer camper, as well as the daytime visitor. Familiar to local residents as Barclay Springs, the new park is nearing completion after nearly one year of construction work in volving landscaping of the grounds, designing of a picnic area, building of restroom facili ties equipped with electric out lets, exca'vation work for a boat launching ramp, and the designa tion of an area for trailer camp ing which is to be provided with running water and picnic tables, The site will be the only publicly-owned campground for over night trailer camping on Highway 97 between Weed, Calif. southern terminus of the highway and Spring Creek, which also offers facilties for tent campers. The picnic area, located in the western portion of the park is being equipped with three or four barbecue pits and 10 nionic ta bles, which are now being as sembled by Earl Kessler, park director and employe of the Coun ty Roads Department. Trees are to be planted in the picnicking site later this year to enhance the beauty of the grounds which have been seeded through most of the park, including the trailer parking area. The trailer campground will ac commodate 10 trailers, including five about 5S feet in length, two of 40 feet in length, and three approximately 14 feet long. A pic nic table and water spigot will be located at each trailer stall. South of the trailer camp near the southern boundary of the park is the only boat launching site on the eastern shore of Klamath Lake. The launching site pro vides access to Barclay Springs, which flows west under the high way and then follows the road north about 100 yards before flow ing under the Southern Pacific train tressle into Klamath Lake. The boat landing is gravel sur faced, but next July or August when the creek reaches its low water mark, its upper end will be covered with asphalt and the low er strip will receive a concrete coating. A modern restroom equipped with two lavatories, two com modes, six mirrors and as many plug-ins is located across the road from the trailer park, within short walking distance from any area in the park. Land for the establishment of the park site was acquired through the State Land Board and the Hagelstein estate for which the park was named. Constructed at a cost to the county of about $20,000, the park is the first such facility to he administered by the County Parks Commission. Another park is ex pected to be established soon on Lost River, near Olcne, and will include a one and four-tenths acre strip of land which will be donat ed to the county by George Stevenson.

Introduced by Assemblyman Lester A. McMillan, D-Los An geles, the measure is given a more than 50-50 chance of pass ing the lower chamber. But the Senate is another matter.

It will be a month after that before it faces the Senate Judiciary Committee. As McMillan's bill now is framed it would grant a 4-year moratorium on the death penal, ty to all but twice-convicted mur derers, double slayers, kidnap murderers, prisoners who kill while in an institution and any person who kills a peace officer. Specifically excluded from the moratorium are the 43 persons now on death row in San Qucntin. In place of the death sentence, the maximum penalty would be life in prison without possibility of parole. But the governor would still retain his traditional powers to commute the sentence to a definite term and to pardon. At Wednesday's hearing pro ponents claimed that the death penalty "brutalizes" society, causes crime and sometimes kills the wrong man. Opponents said it deters crime and suggested that the entire matter of abolition of the death penalty be put up to a vote of the state's citizens. Ally. Gen. Stanley Mosk was the administration's major wit ness. Although conceding the death penalty may be a deterrent to murder, Mosk told the commit tee the execution of a killer was an "obscene pageant." Mosk characterized the McMil lan bill as an attempt to say to persons who oppose abolition of the death penalty; "Won't you try fnr just four years to see whether we can get rid of the death penalty in certain categor ies of crimes without endanger ing society?" "With confinement and an in telligent program of penology." said Mosk, "most of our mur- H P r ran ralnrJ I ... 'ful and construcuve existence, whether In or out of prison." Others to testify in favor of the bill included George Edwards. De troit police commissioner; Dr. rtiorslcn Sellin, a University of Pennsylvania criminologist, and Father Edward Dincberc. former chaplain at San Qucntin. Opposition to the hill was run. grammed by Assemblyman .George Dcukmejian, R - Long Beach. He claimed the bill would have the effect of making "gui. nea pigs of the innocent and law abiding citizen" who may be mur dered during the test. A major witness for the onpo- sition was J. Miller Lew. Los Anceles Counlv deoutv district i. torncy, who prosecuted both the i-aryi encssman and Barbara Graham cases. Chessman, the so called "red-light bandit," was ex ecuted for kidnaping and sex per version three years ago. Miss Graham, also executed at San Quentin, was the subiect of the movie "I Want to Live."

In addition, he said, the state should not wait until the criminal gels "a double or a triple" before executing him. Assemblyman E. Richard Barnes, R-San Diego, a Navy chaplain for 20 years, quoted the scriptures to prove hit case lor the death penalty. He called attention of the com mittee to Chapter 9 of Genesis which says: "Whosoever shed- deth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed." He also re ferred to Exodii (or a statement that "He that tmiteth man so that he dies shall be surely put to death." In answer McMillan said he was convinced God was on his side. "God doesn't want us to take a life," he said. After the hearing ended, Mc Millan told newsmen that he felt the prospects for Assembly ap proval were "good" but said only that chances of favorable Senate action were "better than ever bo-fore."
