Mrs, Duncan's lawyer May
Request Change -off Trial Site
Ventura, Calif. (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

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

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.

Latin American Influence
Spreads Throughout U.S.
By HARRY W. 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.

The migrants from Latin
America are attracted by the
