Texas hosts kingly honor
United Press International
NORSE, — The king of Norway
spent a day in the pastoral setting
of central Texas to honor a Norwe
gian national hero who was buried
thousands of miles from home
more than 100 years ago.
That early Norwegian traveler,
Cleng Peerson, was honored Sun
day by King Olav V, 79, who
placed a wreath on Peerson’s
grave in honor of the man consi-

dered a national hero by a nation
celebrating the bicentennial of his
birth.
Peerson died in Bosque County
in 1865 after devoting 40 years to
finding new homes in America for
thousands of Norwegians fleeing
the poverty of their tiny country.
“He has certainly earned the
name offather of Norwegian emig
ration in the United States,” said
the king, who is celebrating his
25th anniversary on the throne.
“The opportunity was there and
it was grasped by a number of peo
ple. All of them kept in their
hearts the love of their old coun
try. Here Cleng Peerson found his
last resting place,” the king
added. “He was a rolling stone.
He is no longer a rolling stone.”
About 1,000 people blanketed
the grounds of the immaculate,
113-year-old Our Savior’s Luther
an Church and its adjoining
cemetery, set amidst graceful tall
trees and rolling countryside.
Many of the spectators were
elderly and spoke Norwegian or
strongly accented English. Their
voices carried clearly on the mild
October breeze as they sang the
Norwegian national anthem. By
contrast, the crowd then mur
mured a barely audible Star
Spangled Banner.
The king and his party ad
journed Sunday afternoon to near
by Clifton for a parade and tour of
the Bosque County Museum.
Clifton’s streets were bedecked
for the occasion with scores of red,
white and blue Norwegian and
American flags.
But the largest banners across
the downtown streets exhorted
the Clifton High School Cubs to
football victory, proving small
town America’s favorite pastime
was not forgotten.
The king later traveled to Hous
ton for a four-day stay. Once a
member on his country’s Olympic
gold medal yacht team, he was ex
pected to do some sailing in
Houston.
His schedule takes him to New
Orleans, Miami, Norfolk, Va., and
Washington, D.C., before he re
turns to Oslo late this month.

Murderess wants
death, not appeal
United Press International
BEAUMONT, — One of two
women on Texas’ Death Row says
the state’s laws should not require
an automatic appeal when the
death sentence is given.
“I don’t think it’s fair for a court
to hand down death and then
make the inmate wait out an
appeal,” Linda Mae Burnett
wrote in a letter. She has asked
appeals of her sentence for the
1978 killing of a 3-year-old Okla
homa boy be dropped and she be
allowed to die.
“It is time for new (death penal
ty) laws. It shouldn’t be a law a
person has to appeal. It would
save tax dollars, plus give the per
son (inmate) their rights to choose
to appeal or not,” Burnett, 34,
said.
Burnett made her comments in
a letter sent to U.S. District Judge
Larry Gist. She asked Gist to
appoint a lawyer to file a “right-to-
die” case for her.
Her current attorney, Lum
Joseph Hawthorne of Beaumont,
said an appeals court has not ruled
in her case. He said he would
oppose any attempt to carry out
her execution until an appeals rul
ing is issued.
“I think the law in Texas is clear
that (death penalty) appeals are
mandatory and 1 don’ll
has a legal right to will
appeal at this time,”
said.
The attorney said Id
meet with Gist next wed|
