Lawyers Try to Save
Chessman as Material
Witness for Book Agent
SAN JOSE, Calif., UPt — A new I
attempt to keep Caryl Chessman
alive is planned so he can testify
in defense of his literary agent,
who is facing trial on a charge
af smuggling one of the con
demned man’s book manuscripts
from prison.
Governor Edmund G. Brown of
California refused Chessman
clemency Monday.
A San Jose attorney, John
Thorne, said he will ask the Su
preme Court to delay Chessman’s
execution, now set for Friday.
The convicted Los Angeles
rapist was condemned to death 11
years ago under California’s
Little Lindbergh Act on a techni
cal charge of kidnaping involving
a raped holdup victim.
Thorne is making the newest
appeal for Chessman’s life as at
torney for Joseph Longstreth. The
Richmond, Ind., literary agent is
jointly charged with Chessman’s
attorney, George T. Davis of San
Francisco, and the publishing
house of Prentice-Hall with con
spiracy to smuggle “The Face of
Justice” out of San Quentin.
Thorne contends Chessman is |
a material witness in the case.

Moscow ■ Touring
Gruening Chides
U.S. Power Lag
MOSCOW, Oft — Senator Ernest
Gruening said Monday the United
States has lost its world leader
ship in hydrielectric projects to
the Soviet Union.
Gruening said after a month’s
tour of Russia that he and two
of his colleagues had been im
pressed by the power projects
they had seen.
“The axis of development has
passed from the United States to
the Soviet Union,” Gruening said.
The touring senators are Gruen
ing, Frank Moss of Utah, and Ed
mund Muskie of Maine — all
Democrats. All three are ardent
advocates of public power and
strong opponents of President
Eisenhower’s public power policy.
Gruening said the group was
told a dam project on the Yangtze
River in Red China will produce
12 times as much electricity as
the Grand Coulee Dam.
He said 40 Soviet engineers and
7,000 Chinese technicians are
working on the Chinese dam,
known as the Ichang Gorge pro
ject.
The Ichang Gorge is near
Chungking, and was originally
planned by the American engineer
John Savage before the Commu
nists came to power.
Soviets Attempt to Block
U.N. Hearing on Tibet
LONDON, Oft — The Soviet
Union yesterday said the United
Nations debate on Tibet is an ille
gal interference in Chinese af
fairs designed to break up grow
ing friendship between Red
China and other Asian countries.
A commentary by the official
Soviet news agency Tass charged
that complaints about the situa
tion in Tibet were based on “lies
and slander.”

This 1960 Ford Calaxie Town Victoria shares the all-new styling characteristics of the other Ford
models, yet bears unmistakable resemblance to the elegant Tliunderbird profile. The new Calaxie is
one inch lower than the 1959 model, but has more interior room for six big persons than ever before.
The Calaxie also is available as a two-or four-door sedan. All Fords for 1960 have the slim-line, for
ward sloping front roof pillar that eliminates the “dog leg” for easier entry.
