In the rape case, the court
overruled a previous decision
and reversed the death penalty
conviction of Clarence Wesley
Evans because the trial judge
denied his request that a court
reporter record the jury selec-
tion process.
This, the high court said, "de-
prived the appellant (Evans) of
a transcription of the testimony
and the court’s ruling thereon
and constitutes a denial of the
right of review of his case by
this court which is guaranteed
to him by law.”
The court, in the Pittman
case, pointed out a major dis-
tinction between Texas proce-
dure and that of Illinois, where
the Witherspoon case originated.
"Unlike Witherspoon, there
was no effort to sweep from the
jury panel all ‘conscientious ob-
jectors’ in rapid succession with-
out any effort to find out ‘wheth-
er their scruples would invaria-
bly compel them to vote against
capital punishment,’ ** the court
said.

Two accidents investigated by
city police and the Highway

caused an estimated $500 to the
four vehicles involved.
Highway Patrolman Thomas
Almond of Sulphur Springs was
called at 3:15 p. m. to investi-
gate a two car accident 3.7
miles south of Sulphur Springs
on State Highway 154.
Drivers of the vehicles were
David Dale Francisco of Tyler
and James William Harbin of
Route 3, Quitman.
According to Almond the acci-
dent occurred when the Fran-
cisco auto attempted to pass
another vehicle and collided
with the Harbin car.
Damage was estimated at
$275 to the Francisco car and
Both Burleson and Herlong, a $100 to the Harbin vehicle.
City police investigated a two
vehicle accident Tuesday at the
intersection of Gilmer and
Dabbs which caused $90 in prop-
erty damage.
Drivers were Ben L. Cuning-
ham of 204 East Park and Jo-
Ann Kelly of 105 W A Street
According to investigating of-
ficers, the accident occurred
when the Cunningham auto col-
lided with the rear of the Kelly
vehicle, which had stopped to
make a left turn.
Fifty dollars in damages were
estimated for the Cunningham
car and $40 was estimated for
the Kelly vehicle.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa
(AP) — The latest addition to
prof. Christiaan Barnard’s heart
transplant team was selected for
her skill as a seamstress.
Laurette van Neikerk sews to-
gether various parts of the heart
valves of pigs which are grafted
into human hearts.
"I think they just wanted
someone who can sew well,
someone who can handle a
needle with patience and per-
servance,” she said.
Mrs. van Neikerk has made
about 20 valves in the few weeks
she has been with the University
ofCape Town’s Medical School.
"Sewing them takes only an
hour, but there is a lot of pre-
paratory work to do before-
hand.
"First of all the valve is
cleaned with all the surplus ft lie fa 4 All
flesh removed and then it is steri- 1/uJlvU VII
lized, Then it comes to me and
it has to be sewn to a special
valve made beforehand of tis-
sue that the body will not re-
ject.”
The tissue is a dacron mater-
ial, she said, and the completed
wire-framed valve is about
three quartern of an inch in dia-
meter. They replace malfunc-
tioning human valves.

AUSTIN (AP) - Texas’ high-
est court for criminal cases
ruled today the U.S. Supreme
Court’s landmark "Witherspoon
decision” on the death penalty
makes virtually no change in
present court practice in the
state.
In the Witherspoon decision,
the Supreme Court disallowed
an Illinois man’s death penalty
conviction because persons with
conscientious scruples against
capital punishment were ex-
cluded from the jury.
Since then, some Texas pro-
secutors and law enforcement
complained that the decision
practically wiped out the death
penalty in Texas.
There were suggestions that
the governor should simply com-
mute all current death sen-
tences to life imprisonment.
But, the Texas Court of Crim-
inal Appeals ruled in a Fort
Worth murder case, the Wither-
spoon decision "did not outlaw
the death penalty as a punish-
ment for crime.”
The court upheld the death
penalty conviction of Melvin
Stuart Pittman, 21, in the Sept.
22, 1966, shooting death of Ken-
neth Jones, whose body was
found in some bushes near
Lake Arlington.
In its opinion, the court noted
that 42 of the 126 jurors excused
in the case were eliminated
after they said that under no
circumstance could they ever
vote for the death penalty.
The court explained that both
before and after passage of the
1965 Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure jurors were not
automatically excluded in Capi-
tal cases simply for stating a
conscientious opposition to the
death penalty.
- Rather, the practice has been
“to interrogate such juror fur-
ther to determine if this means
that he or she could never vote
for the death penalty," the court
said.
"The challenge for cause on
this ground has always been
understood to mean that be-
cause of such scruples the juror
could never vote to influence
the death penalty in any case
regardless of the facts or cir-
cumstances.”
The the court declared that
Texas practice was not at odds
with the Supreme Court ruling
by saying:
"Such practice squares with
the requirements of Wither-
spoon.”
Both in the Pittman case and
in a Fort Worth rape case—coin-
cidentally oqe tn which the
alleged offense took place at
Lake Arlington—the court laid
down one rule to keep Texas
square with the Witherspoon
case.
That ruls is that it is "ad-
visable” in the future for judges
in capital cases to have the'
court reporter record the exami-
nation of all prospective jurors,
and to Include in every trial
record sent to the court of
Criminal Appeals the jury list,
indicating why each Juror was
W. Averell Harriman bluntly
told North Vietnamese negotia-
tors today that to progress to-
"ward peace "you must be pre-
■ pared to recognize the role” of
South Vietnam’s government in
working out a settlement of the
Vietnam war.
Harriman’s assertion in the
14th session of the Paris peace
talks followed directly on Presi-
dent Johnson’s Honolulu meet-
ing with President Nguyen Van
Thieu of South Vietnam at the
end of last week. North Vietnam
regularly denounces the Saigon
government as an American
“puppet.”
Harriman told newsmen he
had not seen definitive evidence
that the lull in the war around
Saigon, which began in mid-
June, was finally coming to an
end.
But he added: "What is dis-
turbing is that the terrorist ac-
tions on theaters around Saigon
have started again. People have
been killed. I intend to call at-
tention to that.” The Viet Cong
bombed four theaters in Saigon
and nearby towns Sunday, kill-
ing 12 Vietnamese and wound-
ing 91.
Going into the 14th session of
the talks, Harriman said he
would present to the North Viet-
namese negotiators the appeal
Issued in Honolulu by President
Johnson and President Nguyen
Van Thieu "for a peaceful set-
tlement and an end of the vio-
lence.”
“I intend,” he continued, "to
point to the violence that Is con-
tinuing on the part of the Viet
Cong, and I hope this will make
some Impression.”
Harriman and his aides are
also trying to find out whether
North Vietnam is weakening its
support for the National Libera-
tion Front and offering Wash-
ington a new lure among fts
terms for a final political settle-
ment in South Vietnam.

SOUTH CHARLESTON,
W.Va. (AP) — A great gray
cloud hung over this chemical-
making center today as thou-
sands cautiously returned to the
homes they evacuated because
of a deadly chlorine gas leak.
A series of small explosions
Tuesday, ripped through the big
FMC plant, rupturing a tank
filled with the chlorine gas and
sending a cloud of gas fumes
over a 12-block area In the etty
of 20,000. Unofficial estimates of
the number of evacuees ranged
from 500 to 5,000.
Police sealed off the city from
Charleston, the state capital
across the Kanawha River. Res-
idents sought higher ground to
escape the fumes which pro-
duced smarting eyes, coughing
and vomiting. Dozens were
treated at Thomas Memorial
Hospital, with some requiring
oxygen tents, but none was con-
sidered serious.
Fire swept through a complex
of buildings at the chemical
plant, located on U.S. 60, which
cuts through the heart of the
city that calls Itself "the chemi-
cal center of the world.” Union
Carbide and other chemical pro-
ducers have installations here
and employ thousands.

The closed the books, at least
as far as state courts are con-
cerned, on the Orange County
school consolidation dispute,
which dates back to 1961.
After years of debate, the
Orange County School Board
ordered the Orange Common
School District annexed to West
Orange Oct. 17, 1967. West
Orange voters earlier had re-
jected the merger nine-to-one in
an election.
The dispute between West
Orange-Cove and the Orange
Common School District had
bad been characterized as a
battle between "the haves and
the have-nots” of East Orange
County. West Orange is a
“hive” district made wealthy
by numerous plants and factor-
ies on what is known locally as
“chemical row.” Orange Com-
mon School District lacks such
Indnstry and has a true tax
value per pupil of about one-
fifth that of West Orange.
The appeal filed by West
Orange with the Supreme Court
said the Issue at stake was
whether independent school dis-
tricts had the right to control
their own affairs.
t "There is only one way pre-
scribed by the Legislature
whereby independent school dis-
tricts may be consolidated. It
simply requires an election in
each district with the voters, in
each district, desiring such a
consolidation,” West Orange's
appeal said.
