Lawyers Question
Multiple Appeals

CHICAGO. Feb. 20 (AP).-
The American Bar Association
decided yesterday to look into
possible needs for new Federal
legislation to limit multiple ap-
peals such as in the ,Caryl
Chessman case. f
The associations board of
governors asked the organiza-
tion's section on criminal law
to conduct a thorough study
of whether new laws should be
enacted. The board is meeting
in Chicago.
The governors said proposals
to restrict the number and
nature of appeals in criminal
cases involve complex consti-
tutional questions calling for
careful consideration in order
that individual rights would be
safeguarded.
The criminal law section
consists Of lawyers and Judges
whose special field is criminal
law. Both prosecutors and de-
fense attorneys are represented
in it. The chairman is Rufus
King of Washington.

the battle for abolition must be
coupled with a stern, renewed
hunt for the evidence that
Chessman contends will prove
his innocence.
In Los Angeles, Deputy Dis
trict Attorney ]. Miller Leavy,
who prosecuted CheSSman on
Is felonies, called Gov. Browns
action a "traveSty of justice. "
He added, 1T is a sorry day
when the Communists in South
America and throughout the
world can shape the adminis-
tration Of justice in these
United States and California in
particular"
Gov. Brown pointed out that
although he reprieved Chess
man for go days, IT am still
convinced he is guilty"
Chessman, whose parents are
dead, says another man COM
mitted the crimes he was con-
victed Of. He says he knows
the man-but refuses to reveal
his name.
Three effigies of CheSsman
were found hanging in down.
town San Diego and nearby
areas last night. One bore the
inscription. "Chessman to the
gallowS."
Attack Governor
French and British newspa-
pers. while welcoming the Gov
ernor's action, expressed belief
that Gov. Brown had done the
right thing for the wrong rea-
son. /.
The London Times said,
THE strange and disturbing
feature is that, having prop
erly discounted outside pres
sure so far, he should now let
his decision be influenced by
warnings that if Chessman
were to 60 to the gas chamber
President Eisenhower would
face hostile demonstrations in
Uruguay and perhaps else
where. Such external con-
siderations are highly damag-
ing to the reput of the law
and could, of course, be brought
forward at any time again."

He said it was beyond him
why the State Department
should intervene. If the action
were taken to avoid disturb

"KowtOw to Foreign Mobs"
Mr.. Johansen took a similar
position, saying that if there
was danger of disturbances
during Mr.. Eisenhower's trip,
Il respectfully suggest that the
President revise his itinerary
accordingly rather than that
the State Department kowtow
to the foreign mobs and in turn
pressure State officials. :"
Mr.. JohanSen said, II regard
it as incredibly brutal to make
him (ChessmanD and his life
a pawn Of State Department
policy and cowardice."
In Los Angeles, Senator
Goldwater described the State
Departments action as "a
shameful mockery of our entire
American judicial process. He
added:

capital punishment squarely
before the people for debate
and resolution. If / have played
some small part in bringing
this about. the nightmare ex-
perience I have gone through
was and is a small price to pay,
and I pay it gladly"
Sets Stage for Battle
While criticism of the Gov
ernor came from other sectors,
it was in Sacramento that the
storm clouds loomed, where
Gov. Brown, an avowed foe of
capital punishment, had set
the stage for a spectacular fight
with the Legislature. Several
times in the last 81 years the
legislature has beaten down
efforts to ban capital punish
n1ent.
And even though the ban
move will have for the first
time the full weight of a Gov
ernor behind it, it is tied to
the case Of Chessman - and
many lawmakers express no
sympathy for him. even when
they favor abolition of the
death penalty.
BY last night comment from
about one-sixth Of the LegiS-
lature showed strong bipartisan
opposition to Gov. Browns
proposal.
Assemblyman Thomas ]. Mac
Bride, Democrat, an outspoken
foe Of repeating capital punish
nent, said he will introduce
his own measure to put the
issue on the November election
ballot.
Opposes Legislation
I'm unalterably opposed to
any legislation to abolish cap
ttal punishment" said Hugh
Burns. Fresno Democrat who is,
Senate president pro TEN.
"Wen just kick it out the
window and go home" he said.
Republic a n ASsemblyman
John Collier Of Los Angeles ac-
cused Gov. Brown of using
ChesSman and the capital pun
ishment issue as "a stepping
stone to the presidency"
He's letting public opinion
sway him in his decision and
not the law Of the State" Mr..
Collier said.
ASsemblywoman Dorothy
Donohoe, Bakersfield Demo-
crat, who voted to repeal capi-
tai punishment last year, when
1t again was defeated, said:
That's not the way I would
vote on the Chessman DEAL"
On the other hand, Assem-
blyman John A. ODonnell,
San Francisco Democrat who
heads the ASsembly's Criminal
Procedure Committee, said he
was delighted and felt aboli-
ton has a better chance than
ever.
Il feel the Governor is try
ing to shift responsibility to
the legislature" said sRepubli-
can Bruce Summer, a CO.
author of the last attempt to
outlaw the death penalty.
Many Urge Reprieve
At the Governors Office the
tide changed abruptly.
His aides said 80 per cent
OF the thousands of messages
and letters received daily be-
fore Gov. Brown acted had
urged reprieve. Once this was
granted, the majority began
running the other way, they
said.
One Of Cheeseman's attorneys,
George T. Davis, predicted the
Governors action would lead to
the abolition of capital punish
ment in California. He added

Federal Government to delay
the execution.
He said, as did Senator Full
bright, that it was a reflection
on the judicial system of the
country that appeals from q
DEATH sentence could be
dragged out over a period oi
IL years.
And Senator Allot said that
behind all this is the fact this
is a man convicted of bestial
crimes with women-too bestiaI
even to be printed in the public
record"
Senator Fulbright said that
so far as he knew, this was
unprecedented action by the
State Department "in interfer-
ing with the normal carrying
out of justice in a State"
Insist 1t Was Routine
Both the State Department
and the White House insisted
that the telegram to Gov.
Brown was handled as a mat
ter Of routine.
Press Officer Lincoln White
emphasized that the depart
ment had made no recommen-
dation to the Governor. 1--WE
have absolutely no jurisdiction
over the judicial processes of
any State" he said.
The mere passing on of the
foreign protests "is sufhcient
to bring it to the attention of
the proper authorities" re
said. He said no special tele-
phone call was made to Cali
fornia in connection with a
Uruguayan government warn
ing that Cheeseman's execution
might set off hostile demon
strations during Mr.. Eisen-
hower'S visit.

IN THE DAYS when the ROmanOff
IL family regally ruled Russia, there
was at least an answer to that old puz-
zler of which came first, the chicken
or the egg In court circles, there was no
doubt that the egg came first. A jeweler
named Faberge so captured the fancy of
Gar Alexander III with fabulOusly jew
eled Easter egg that the ruler commits
stoned an egg year to be created as
a gift for his wife. The nOw-famOuS
Faberge eggs, some 81 designed for I'm
perial gifts, are not only fanciful express
SionS of the Easter spirit, but wondrous
examples of jewelry craftsmanship.
When Alexander died, his son,

and expanded it to include an egg year
for the Dowager Empress Thus, two eggs
were made every year up to 1917, the end

Sunday night
John b. Funk, chairman of the
State Roads commission depart
ing frequently from a prepared
script outlined problems and
plans of the commission to get
Maryland as many miles of good
primary roads as quickly as pos
sible."
Mr.. Funk explained that if the
Legislators at the coming session
will approve the measure pro-
posed by the commission and
endorsed by Gov. Towes and "un-
tie the hands of the commission"
work on critical areas of route 40
in this section can start immedi-
ately.
Funk said the commission felt
it must complete as many main
roads as possible with the money
available. He also listed a number
of gaps all over the state that
must be filled.
Under the proposed changes
which must be made in the legis-
lature, he said almost Immediately
the commission could start the
section from Martins Mountain in
to Cumberland. completing it by
the fall of 1862. Then contracts
would be let for modernization
of the road from Sideling Hill to
Polish mountain and to Hancock,
to be completed by the end of
