r.' i I U.S. Crime Rate Shows Staggering Five-Year Jump WASHINGTON (UPD-FBI Di rector J. Edgar Hoover reports the crime rate in the United States broke all previous records last year and jumped 6 per cent over 1061. Hoover said Thursday in his annual "uniform crime reports" that during the past five years the crime rate in tills country went up 27 per cent while the population increased 7 per cent. He said that all types of major crimes except murder showed in creases during 1U62. Murder dropped 2 per cent. "The record shows police ef fectiveness remains high despite mounting crime work loads and . heavier demands for a wide vari- cty of increasing complex police services," the FBI chief de ! clared. But he added that "law en ' forcement machinery is impaired and policing is hampered as a I result of increasing restrictions J being placed on enforcement op ! erations." ! "The effectiveness of (police ' work). . .depends to some extent on the action of the courts and the success of the correctional process," he said, "but most of all the degree to which the local citizenry supports law enforce ment. "Positive action to reduce ' crime," he said, "must begin with the individual citizen." Weather Table High and low temperatures and Statistics in Hoover's report showed forcible rape was up 2 per cent nationally during 1962; robbery up 4 per cent, aecra vated assault and burglary up S per cent, grand larceny up 8 per cent and auto theft up 9 per cent During 1959, 1960 and 1961, crime in this country increased 13 per cent, the report sliowcd. Burglary, auto theft and grand larceny led the increases with 13, 14 and 16. per cent respec tively. The report said . increases rang ing from S to 11 per cent were reported in the crime rates in metropolitan areas while rural counties generally reported a de crease. Persons under tlie age of 18 ac counted for 62 per cent of the arrests lor auto tlielts, 51 per cent lor larceny, 49 for burglary, 25 for robbery, 19 for forcible rape, 13 for aggravated assault and 8 for murder and manslaugh tcr. precipitation in the 24 hours end ing at 4 a.m. PDT today.

Alio "HELL IS FOR HEROES" Freeman To Appeal Denial For Hearing SALEM iUPD A post-conviction appeal by convicted murder ess Jeannace June Freeman was denied by Marion County Circuit Judge George A. Jones Thursday. Her attorneys, Philip A. Levin and Carl R. Neil, both of Port land, said they uould appeal Jones' decision to the Oregon Su preme Court. Levin said that if the Oregon court held against them they will raise constitutional issues before cither the U.S. District Court or the U.S. Supreme Court. Miss Freeman, 22, Culver, was convicted in Madias in 1961 of hurling Larry Jackson, 6, to his death in Crooked River Gorge. She was sentenced to die at the State Penitentiary here on Aug. but Judge Jones granted a stay of execution July 10 to allow a hear big under the post-conviction act Another execution date probably will not be set until tlie end of what could be a lengthy series of appeals. Judge Jones, after more than an hour of legal arguments, dis missed tlie petition on the grounds that it failed to raise any issues appreciably different from those which could have been raised on Miss Freeman's original appeal trom the death sentence. Levin and Neal said they would file an amended petition within the next 10 days to strengthen their contention that tlie condemn ed woman was not granted her constitutional rights prior to her indictment. .VI3 Skepticism, Wariness In Test Talks OPINS TONITt ;4S OPENS SAT.

ZANUCKS THE HAY i i I ,, Wl l mremr i: ' 9 ' On Show Ntahtlv at 8:00 Metln.e Ut. 4 Sun. et 2:09 Admission for This Enooftmonr Gen. Adnf. $1.25 Chlloron (Undtf 12) S0 WASHINGTON (UPI) - The limited nuclear test ban agree ment that Undersecretary of State W. Averell Harriman seems likely to bring home from Mos cow next week could turn out to have hidden strings attached. Hurriman can only initial a ten tative treaty and otticials ac knowledged the possibility of some slip between that point and for mal signature, which could be many weeks hence. . Authorities here said today the Russians had not as of Ihursday night lied any (inacceptable con ditions to the proposed pact to ban land, sea and air blasts but permit underground tests for the time being. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev- has pot, for example, in sisted on tlie NATO-Communist non-aggression pact or an unpo- liccd moratorium on underground testing as the price for the test ban pact. Full Of Ideas The Soviet leader has, however, tossed Harriman a grab bag full of ideas he wants to discuss with the United States. These concern "European security," East-West trade and other issues. The implication appeals to be that Khrushchev expects Prcsi dent Kennedy to take a new and more favorable look at some old Russian ideas on these subjects in the warm glow following ten tative agreement on a test ban. If the administration, for ei ther foreign or domestic reasons, can give Kussia no encourage ment on any of these points, the tentative test ban might never reach a point of formal signature and ratification. tV President faces a delicate diplomatic task in reacting to some of tlie Khrushchev sugges tions. West Germany, the major mili tary -power in NATO after the United States, would certainly re act with alarm to any indication Washington was favorably ' con sidering Khrushchev's proposed non-aggression pact between the Western a lance and tlie Commu nist Warsaw treaty countries. Fear Treaty The West Germans fear such a treaty would give diplomatic rec ognition to Soviet-occupied East Germany and perpetuate the di vision of the country. U.S. concessions to Russia on trade issues would involve aban doning Washington's long-t i m e Klicy maintained against crowing opposition from Britain and some other Allies of bar ring all possible strategic goods from the Communist bloc. And even a partial test ban out lawing only readily detectable blasts will encounter strong oppo sition from senators who distrust any agreement with Moscow. However, tlie administration probably lias enough votes in the Senate to not tlie pact approved if tliere are no jokers in it. In any event, authorities agree that even if Harriman conies back with an apparently accepta ble agreement, it would be wise to reserve Judgment until all im- nlii-iitions of his sucuestioiis on loUier issues have been carefully weighed and discussed with the PORTLAND (UPD-Tlie Oregon Supreme Court will be asked to reverse the death sentence of Richard B. Schwensen, convicted in the air embolism death ot a Portland housewife. Schwensen's attorney, Charles V. Elliott, said Thursday the fil ing could result in the stale's first recorded reversal of a first de gree murder conviction. Schwensen, a 28-year-old former Portland college student, was con victed in the death of Mrs. Jean Bussey, 29, an east Portland housewife whose body was found in her parked car last September week after she disappeared. Attorney Cites "Flaw" Elliott said there was a major flaw in the prosecution. He said his brief for reversal will be based on the state's charge that Schwensen caused the death o. the woman through forcible rape which resulled in an air bubble Three Hurt In Mishaps Three people received- unde termined in juries in a two-car collision Uiat occurred about one milo cast of Dairy, about 6:45 p.m.. Wednesday, the Oregon Stato Police have disclosed. In another accident reported earlier on Highway 39, near Mile- post 9, Vei n Dcyarmic, 33, Dairy, was uninjured when he lost con trol of his car and drove it into a borrow pit on the right side of tlie highway. Deyarmic, proceeding south bound, had attempted to pass an other car, reconsidered, and then applied his brakes to slow down and move back benind tne om cr southbound vehicle. In so do ing, he lost control of the car and went off the road. State police arrived later and apprehended Deyarmie for being drunk on a public highway. He was lodged in the county jail pending arraignment. Injured in tlie accident at Dairy was Sanderson Maphet, 74, Bo nanza, operator 01 a wesioouna pickup truck which turned left into tho path of an automobile proceeding cast, resulting in the ollision. Maphet was taken By Peace Ambulance to Klamath Valley Hospital where his condi tion has been listed as lair. Two of the four occupants of the other vehicle were removed by another Peace Ambulance to tlie Lakeview Hospital. They in- luded Mrs. Marvin Yates. 37, who received head lacerations and possible chest and arm in juries, and her daughter, Sherri, if 12, who stayed overnight at tlie hospital for observation. Marvin Yates, 36, driver, and his daughter, Paula. 8, the other occupant of the car, were ap parently not injured, said Ichx Peace, operator ot the ambu lance. Police estimated that the ales automotive was traveling 60 miles per hour at the lime o.r Hie accident. The family lives in Boise, and have been staying al a Lakeview lodge. that reached the the bloodstream. Evidence presented at Schwen sen's 10-day trial last vear did not support that allegation, Elliott said. The attorney said he had been assured by four authorities in the field of forensic pathology that it would be impossible to detect air embolism in tlie blood of a body mat nad been dead for eight days. two Pathologists Testified Two of the experts testified at the trial. They were Dr. Charles P. Larson, head of the Tacoma General Hospital and Dr. Warren G. Hunter, of the University of Oregon Medical School. Elliott has also received corres pondence supporting the conten tion trom Dr. Alan R. Moritz. pro fessor of pathology at Western Reserve University, Cleveland. Ohio, and from Milton Helpern, chief medical examiner of the city of New York. The prosecution's contention during the trial was that specific proot ot the cause of death was not required if rape or attempted rape were snown. Circuit Judge li no h. ueneKo agreed. Cottontail rabbits have several litters of three to six young per year.
