California Democratic Party Rocked By Intramural Struggle Over Tickets Los Angeles (UPD The Cal ifornia Democratic Party, rid ing on a big popularity wave, was rocked today by an intra mural struggle over tickets to the national convention here in 1960. There were North - South overtones within the state to the bushwhacking by two fac tions, but the tentacles of the squabble also reached to Dem ocratic Party headquarters in Washington. A check of Democratic leaders produced the con sensus that Los Angeles would not lose the convention but it was conceded there may be feelings hurt before the dis pute is resolved, r uley vs. Butler On the one hand in the Southland there was Edwin W. Pauley, -finance chairman of the host committee, who has insisted that the national committee, headed by Paul Butler, promised the host com mittee 5,000 tickets to take Dr. Finch's Maid, Girl Friend To Be Cross-Examined .'

She has said she will stick by Finch in his fight against first Gruening Wants 49-Slar Flag Washington - (UPD - Sen. Er nest Gruening (D-Alaska) learned with , controlled indig nation yesterday that the American flag displayed in the Senate chamber carries only 48 stars and has not been replaced. Gruening told the Senate he wanted to see a flag car rying Alaska s 49th star mounted behind the presiding officer's chair pretty prompt-ly-and would pay for it him self if the Senate could not afford it. A new flag would cost $175. "I respect economy but I must register my dissent," Gruening declared. "Alaska is entitled to display of the 49-star flag. It is true that Hawaii held elections yester day, but a 50-star flag would not become official until July 4, 1960-almost a year away." Mormon Missionary Dies in Pacific Imperial Beach, Calif.-rtJPD-A Mormon missionary return ing home from 21-year mis sion in Mexico died Tuesday when he paused here to swim in the Pacific. Robert M. Cowley, 25, Mis soula, Mont., died after life guards pulled him ashore when he slipped under the water briefly. Deputy Coroner O. M. Ladd said Cowley prob ably succumbed to some nat ural cause. He was believed under the water too brief a : time to have drowned. An au topsy was ordered. Cowley was accompanied by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Cowley, and his broth . er, Kenneth, 12, from Monter . rey, Mexico, on his way home from his mission. degree murder charges. Deputy District Attorney Fred N. Whichello said Miss Tregoff s testimony included glaring cont-adictions of her earlier statements to police and testimony by the maid, Marie Ann Lidholm, 19, of Sweden. .Miss Tregoff testified that on July IS, the day Mrs. Bar bara Finch, 33, was shot to death, she proposed Finch and she go to see his estranged wife to talk about settling their pending divorce. Waited for Mrs. Finch They drove from her Las Vegas apartment to his $65,- 000 home here and waited for Mrs. Finch to return home, Mist Tregoff aid. "She got out of the car and bent down," said Miss Tregoff. "Her back was to me, but then I noticed she had a gun point ed toward me. Dr. Finch reached behind his wife into the car, threw something at me which hit me in the stom ach and yelled at me to get out of there. The object he threw was a leather case." Miss Tregoff . said she left the struggling , couple and heard Mrs. Finch scream. "I heard another sound from the garage and it sound ed like Dr. Finch was in trou ble. I started back in, quite cautiously. Then I saw Bar bara on the right side of the car. She took off down the driveway. "She had the gun in her hand." Hid Behind Bushes Miss Tregoff said she then hid behind some bushes until about dawn and drove back to Las Vegas alone, only to find Finch already there and in bed. Whichello pointed out that her story was much more elaborate and precise than the one she told to police after Finch's arrest July 12 in her apartment. Miss Lidholm, who spent most of the day on the stand, said she heard Mrs. Finch cry for help, rushed to the garage and there found Finch stand ing over his wife with a gun. "I was frightened when I saw Dr. Finch," said Miss Lid holm, "because when I saw his eyes he was not himself. I saw he had a gun in his right hand. I was scared. I begged him not to kill me." She said Finch banged her head against the wall and fired a shot at her which went wild. She last saw him, ' she said, chasing Mrs. Finch across the lawn. care of local party followers who are pledged to put up $350,000 for the convention Pauley took the battle to Gov. Edmund G. Brown, who said he may have to appoint an arbitrator. In . the midst of the strife was Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, a Northerner from Kentfield and national committeewom an for the state. "I have no personal knowl edge of the basis on which Mr. Pauley feels he was prom ised 5,000 tickets. But person ally I feel 5,000 is excessive. I'm hoping Mr. Butler will be able to conclude a contract on the basis of 1,500 tickets. He (Butler) told me in April that was the maximum to which he would agree. He has re peated it four or five times to me since. Fifteen hundred is really a fair number. In 1956 at Chicago the host committee had 1,250 tickets." San Francisco Still Bidding In the wings was San Fran cisco Mayor George Christo pher, a Republican, who has resubmitted his no-strings at tached bid of $350,000 for the convention but hastens to add, "we do not want to pirate the convention in any way to un dercut Los Angeles." Los Angeles Mayor Norris Poulson said. "I have said re peatedly that this problem will be solved. This is no time to get panicked by outside in terference. Los Angeles with the new sports arena and our other great facilities is a nat ural.
