(UPD The attorney for 54-year-old Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan - accused of hiring two ex-convicts to mur der her pregnant daughter-in-law said yesterday he may seek a change of venue in the case. S. Ward Sullivan, well known Los Angeles lawyer, said the decision on whether or not to ask for a new trial site would be made after he reads a transcript of grand jury proceedings. Grand jurors indicted the much -married Mrs. Duncan, Augustine Baldonado, 25, and Oil Men Expect Demand For Petroleum to'lncrease New York-OIPE-Oil men ex pect the demand for petro leum in the U. S., which burns roughly half the oil consumed in the Free World, to rise four to five per cent during 1959. After that, they look for de mand increases to level off at about three per cent annually .to meet anticipated rises in industrial activity, population and the number of cars and trucks on the road. During 1958, domestic de mand continued to go up as it has in every post-war year - but by only two per cent, against the four to five per cent annual rate of increase in the post-war decade. Oil men were most optimis tic in discussing foreign de mand prospects. There they foresee growth at three times the U.S. rate. Where they are least opti mistic is in the field of public relations. Frank M. Porter, president of the American Petroleum Institute, says here the outlook is "the worst I have seen in 42 years of as sociation" with the industry. Only a solid front of opinion and action, he says, can save the' 27V4 per cent depletion allowance, stop the "twisting of anti-trust laws against the Births DITNGEY To Mr. and Mrs. Herb, .1301 Winchester, ave., Medford, Dec. 26, 1958, a girl, 714 pounds, at Sacred Heart hospital.

Luis Moya, 22, Friday night on charges of murder in the death of Olaa KuDcvzk Dun can, 30 - year - old Canadian born nurse. The indictment was voted in 15 minutes after a little more than eight hours of tes timony during which Moya dramatically confessed his part in the brutal slaying of the nurse. , "I have confessed to God that I did it," Moya said in his confession implicating the older Mrs. Duncan. "I have asked forgiveness." Moya broke down Thursday j industry and prevent increas ed Federal gasoline taxes as a means of shoring up the high way trust fund." The depletion allowance is a tax concession enacted in 1926 to stimulate the search for oil. It permits an oil and gas producer to deduct 27Vi per cent of his gross income from a producing property with the restriction that it may not amount to more than half the net income from the property. . In an attempt to counter a possible anti - business trend, the Gulf Oil Corp. announced plans last September to-take an increasingly active role in practical politics. - Price prospects for petro leum products started im proving in mid-1958 as inven tories came more into balance and demand swung upward However, J. C. Donnell II, president of Ohio Oil Co., says domestic crude oil prices in 1959 will continue to come under pressure from great supplies of petroleum being developed overseas. , The average U.S. crude oil price already has Been shaved from S3.10 in October, 1937, to around $3 currently. To help the domestic pro ducers the government has been imposing voluntary im port quotas. However, despite these quotas, imports in ?"8 amounted to roughly 10 per cent of domestic production, against about six per cent 10 years ago. Many oil men believe that because of prospective in creases in petroleum demand both in the U.S. and abroad, present import restrictions may be unnecessary later than 1965. DENYING wrongdoing, ex Governor Burton Cross, of Maine, says he will fight SEC charges he made false statements in proposed pub lic offering of securities. bk - .-semm.-y "was night under questioning by Sheriffs Sgt. Ray Higgins, substantiating an earlier con fession by Baldonado. T h e t w o told authorities Mrs. Duncan hired them to kill her daughter-in-law j wife of young attorney Frank r. uuncan - ior so.uuu. Higgins said the two lured Olga Duncan from her Santa Barbara apartment by telling her Duncan was in a car out side, passed out after drink ing in a bar. When the nurse leaned over Baldonado in the car, Moya told officers he hit her. She was taken to a remote spot a few miles north of here. Still Alive She was still alive as she was taken from the car - rent ed by Baldonado and Moya for the trip - officers said the two took turns strangling the attractive nurse while the other dug a shallow grave in soft earth of a highway fill. Higgins said the two were not sure whether or not young Mrs. Duncan might not have been buried alive. An autopsy failed to show whether she was dead or not when she was crammed into the grave. The elder Mrs. Duncan, married six times in the past eight years, denied hiring Bal donado and Moya for the crime." She said they had been trying to blackmail her. Son Neutral Her son, Frank, said Friday at the grand jury hearing he would "not take sides in the case." "I could never recall my mother doing anything cruel or being able to hurt anything or kill anything," he said. "I knew my mother called my! wife, but I never knew sne had threatened her with any physical violence. 'She would have to be in sane to be linked into it." The victim's father, Elias Kupcyzk, was expected to ar rive from Canada today to claim his daughter's body, re leased to him by Duncan. ; Arraignment on the grand jury indictment of Mrs. Dun can, Baldonado and Moya was scheduled for Tuesday morning in superior court.

FRANTZ United Press International Washington-flJPD-The Latin American influence permeates the United States from our channels of commerce right down to the cha-cha-cha. Whether it is in diplomacy, journalism, commerce, fi nance, show business, the inter-American activities of the United States, the impact from South of the Border is on the increase. Yet, persons from the Latin American republics represent less than 3.000,000 of the total U.S. population of 175,000, 000. Unlike the European ele ments in tlje population of the U.S., there are no identifiable, large "blocs" of former Latin Americans in this country, with the possible exception of Mexican - Americans and Cuban-Americans. ' The total Latin American population in the U.S. is large ly concentrated in New York City and in such states as Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida and Colorado. Their residential preferences conform, except in the case of New York, with a pattern established when the Spanish Colonial domain encroached on what is now the borders of the U.S., or in regions lost by Mexico during the United States-Mexican War. The Bureau of the Census estimated in 195 that 2,281, 710 persons with Spanish surnames lived in the South west. About half were of na tive parentage. Spanish - language publica tions are another index of the geographical distribution of Latin Americans and Span iards in the U.S. At present, there are twd Spanish-lan guage dailies in New York City, and a San Juan, Puerto Rico, paper also has a main land edition. Other Spanish dailies are , published in Mi ami and Tampa, Fla., El Paso, Tex., and Los Angeles. Cir culation figures run from 7,500 to 40,000. In addition, there is a Portuguese-language daily, read also by Bra zilians, published in New Bedford, Mass. Periodicals dealing with special topics such as medi cine, commerce, industry or religion-in the Spanish language-are , issued in all the southwestern states, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Il linois and Washington, D.C.
