Ninnr Named Premier
Crisis Ends in Jordan
Langley Is Found Guilty
At Portland Vice Trial

PORTLAND. Greg, April 10
P.-A State Circuit Court jury
today convicted District Attorney
William M. Langley of failing
to prosecute gamblers here.
The penalty is removal from
Office and possible fine.
Langley. who also faces six
other charges in a continuing
Portland vice investigation, was
the first major defendant to 60
on trial since the investigation
began a year ago.
Langley has insisted the Port
land underground is trying to
frame him.
Counsel Asks Delay
Langley's counsel moved for
an arrest of judgment, a tech
nical and almost automatic pro-
|cedure. Circuit Judge Frank
Lonergan will hear arguments
on that motion Monday after
noon.
Judge Lonergan set April 26
as a tentative date for passing
sentence.
Langley heard the verdict
without display of feeling. His
wife Janice rushed to him in the
courtroom. took him by both
hands and smiled up at him.
The vote was announced as
ILL for conviction. The Jury
deliberated an hour and SIS
minutes.
1t takes a majority of 10 to
convict on such a charge in
Oregon.

44-Point Program to
Curb Building Costs
BY JAMES G. DEANE

A sweeping. Appoint plan for
putting more stress on probation
and parole and less on merely
locking UP Washington criminal
offenders - especially drunks II
was unveiled last night by Dis
strict Commissioner David B.
Karrick.
Mr.. Karrick said the plan,
backed by a study calling atten-
ton to dangerously" crowded
conditions in the city's correc-
tional institutions. could help
curb its spiraling prison popu-
lation and thus avert need for
building an additional $40 mil
lion prison.
1t could also result. Mr.. Kar-
rick said, in returning at least a
stable proportion of offenders.

treadmill' Of arrest, collateral
fine or Jail. to useful and decent
lives in the community.
This, the plans sponsors said,
could be done for an initial ex-
penditure of around 81 million
for new facilities and workers.
contrasted with an estimated $40
million construction cost plus at
least 81 million annually for
operation of a new prison.
Report Due Tuesday
An II : member committee,
headed by Mr.. Karrick and in
GLIDING judges and other prin-
cipal law enforcement and cor
rectional officials, made the
prison study. The group was as
signed the task by the District
Commissioners last October.
Mr.. Karrick told reporters he
expects to submit the report to
the other two Commissioners
Tuesday. He added he hopes for
a move soon to obtain funds and
enabling legislation for carrying
out at least some of the recon-
mendations quickly.
The report said bluntly that
the District is now risking riots
because Of inadequate housing
of its growing prison population.
But it also said the city is doing
far too little to try to set law
breakers back on a law-abiding
path or to stem a serious tide of
alcoholism.
By following its proposals. the
report said the city could do
much to solve the prison over
now by cutting at its roots, and
it could perform humani-
tartan Job besides.
Highlights Of Proposal
Highlights among the pro-
posalS, which were uacked with
