Few Executions Carried
Out Now In California

SAN QUENTIN, Calf. CUPID
The state Of California, which
almost every year executes
more criminals than any other
state in the Union, has sent
only one person to the gas
chamber this year.
The death Of James Abner
Bentley on Jan. % was the
500th execution at San Quentin
Prison. 1t happened in a state
where an average of eight per-
sons die in the gas chamber
annually; and it happened in a
prison where A men currently
live on Death Row.
In early November, Gov. Ed
mund G. Brown, long an out
spoken foe of the death pen
atty, commented on these Tin,
usual statistics.
cts a situation" he said,
''that really means capital
punishment has been repealed
by the courts. l think I've
granted only two communications
this year, and all the rest have
been stays by either the SUI
preme Court, the circuit court
or the state courts"
Three days after Brown made
his statement, the us. Supreme
Court granted a stay of execu-
ton to Harold A. Spencer, six
days before his date with death.
Then, within 10 days, the high
court followed its action with
two more stays, both for men
scheduled to die in December.
Grow In Number
During the past year, in q
state where the arguments fol
and against capital punishment
often rise to fever pitch, there
have been so many stays Of ex'
ecutions that prison officials
have had bookkeeping prob
lens in maintaining an accu'
rate count.
The situation has created, ir
effect, a backdoor moratorium
on the death penalty, one thai
neither California law nor the
state constitution provides for.
For the past 80 years, state
Legislators who have opposed
capital punishment have at
tempted to pass laws making
the death penalty illegal. The
matter has been debated eth
er in committee or on tht
floors of the senate and the as

BY GERALD DUNCAN

The drought picture for Prince
Edward county and the state Of
Virginia shows considerable adj
vances being made in some
phases of farm aid and a num-
Der of roadblockS in others. Of
chief concern among the road
blocks has been the failure Of
certain railroads and railway
associations to reduce freight
rates on hay being shipped in
from midwest and western
states.
The situation here is not al
together bad however since a
number of railroads including
the ACL, cav, NF&D, nav,
have consented to so per cent
freight rate reduction on hay
coming into Virginia disaster
areas. The C&O Railroad has
announced a 80 per cent reduc-
ton 10 be made effective at an
early date. One the Western
Railroad Traffic Association has
refused to grant the 50 per cent
freight rate reduction.
The sale of part or all Of herds
by Virginia cattlemen and dairy
men faced with a critical
drough. induced shortage Of hay
and rastureland is expected to
increase considerably if hay can
not be obtained at reasonable
reduced prices. Farmers who
have been building up herds
may have to let some Of them
60. Some already have hquidat-
ed their herds. If the farmers
can't afford to buy feed and
carry them through the winter
they will have to sell the herds.
AT present. hay prices are run
ming from $40 to $50 ton as
compared with the normal price
of S35 to $40.
More Corn Comes
On the brighter side Donald
c. CAN'T ASC office manager.
said To-Day that three more car
loads of corn have been ordered
