County Agricultural Commis sioner Ted Eriksen said Friday the psylla had been found in orchards in Potter Valley and is expected to spread rapidly. He predicted that the blight might spread throughout California. The psylla secrets a honey like substance which produces a destructive mold and either kills the fruit bud or causes small fruit. Extensive washing of con taminated fruit is necessary be fore it can be sold. The nsvlla insect was trnnnerl in pear orchards near Medford, Ore., in 1951 and within a year had contaminated pear orchards throughout the Rogue valley in southern Oregon.'

(U.R) A de fense motion to throw out a grand jury indictment against Casper Oveross, charged with the first degree murder of his Silverton area neighbor, Ervin Kaser, was taken under advise ment Saturday by Marion Coun ty Circuit Judge George Dun can. The surprise motion to free Oveross from a first degree mur der charge for the second time was filed Friday by defense at torney Bruce Williams and Otto R. Skopil Jr., of Salem. Failed To Get Order It charged that District At torney Kenneth O. Brown had failed to get a court order for resubmitting the case to the grand jury which they contend is contrary to Oregon Law. Arguments on the motion and a request by Oveross to with draw his plea of "not guilty" were heard by Judge Duncan Friday. District Attorney Brown con tended that the law precludes withdrawal of the plea and asked the court to take into consideration what he called the "unseasonable" timing, of the defense motion. The defense countered that it had discovered only Thursday what it called the "illegality" of the grand jury action. Killed Feb. 17 Kaser' was shot to death as he sat in his car after driving up to his Silverton area home Feb. 17. A grand jury earlier refused to indict Oveross on the basis of the evidence then pre sented.

Oveross was then indicted by a grand jury and he gave himself up to au thorities in Fairbanks and was returned here to stand trial.
