Accused Murderess
Observes Christmas
Birthday in Jail
Los Angeles (DPD- Carole
Tregoff, accused murderess in
the slaying of. her physician
lover's wife, observed Christ
mas and her 23rd birthday to
day in county jail and was al
lowed to receive only one
gift - a bag of candy and fruit
from the sheriffs department.
The former model was also
permitted to see her parents,
James and Gladys Tregoff,
because she has been rated
a trusty. Such status is given
persons who "give no indica
tion of making any trouble,"
said Lt. Ralph Welch of the
prison administrative staff.
Stymied by Court
But Miss Tregoff was sad as
she once again was stymied
in her battle to escape trial.
Her appeal to the U. S. Su
preme Court to delay her trial
so she could appeal ' an ad
verse ruling from the Cali
fornia high court was denied

The California Supreme
Court rejected on Dec. 15 her
attorney's contention that the
county Grand Jury lacked
jurisdiction when it indicted
her. The attorney claimed the
alleged murder conspiracy oc
curred "if at all wholly and
entirely within the state of
Nevada.' ' :
Conspiracy Charged
. Robert A. Neeb Jr., her
counsel, insisted she was in
dicted "solely and wholly
upon the basis of incompetent
evidence."
: Miss Tregoff was accused of
conspiring with her lover and
co-defendant, Dr. R. Bernard
Finch, 42, to murder his so
cialite wife, Barbara, 33,
whose body was found out
side the couple's fashionable
home in nearby West Coyina.
Their trial, which. opened
last week, is in recess until
Monday because of the Christ
mas holiday.
Ike's Message
ind Curtain
Munich, Germany -(DPD-
President Eisenhower's mes
sage of peace to the world
was broadcast behind the Ir
on Curtain this Christmas
time without interference or
jamming by Communist rsdio
stations.
Voice of America officials
and '"officials of Radio Free
Europe said neither the Pres
ident's peace message nor
Pope John's message asking
"men of good will" to make
the coming year peaceful and
tranquil were subject. to the
usual disturbances.
A spokesman for RFE said
the jamming continued until
Christmas Eve, including .ef
forts to block Christmas mes
sages by hundreds of Hungar
ian refugees who fled the
country at the time of the
1957 rebellion.
; But the Eisenhower mes
sage went through free and
clear, apparently as part of
the current Kremlin "peace"
offensive.
War Hero May
Be Spending Last
Holiday at Home
San Francisco -MPD-William
S. Miller spent Christmas at
home today and telephone
company officials, were not
unhappy about it.
Miller, 36, a much-decorated
war hero, escaped going to
jail in May although he ad
mitted taking $2,658 from
Bay Area, telephone p a y
boxes. Company agents esti
mated the amount was closer
to $10,000.
In Trouble Again
Thursday, federal proba
tion officers said Miller had
gotten into trouble again. He
may not be so fortunate this
time, they indicated. '
After checking a -series of
coin box thefts in Alameda,
company agents smeared, the
inside of a booth one of
those Miller had robber be
fore with a greasy phos
phorescent substance.
Robert Scott, chief proba
tion officer of the U. S. Court
of Appeals, said that when a
special light was thrown on
Miller his hands came up
like the moon."
Out on Old Routs .
' Scott added that Miller ad
mitted that ha had been out
on his old route. The take
this time totaled around $300.
Telephone company offi
cials said Miller, who has 17
Navy decorations including
the Silver Star and the Pur
ple Heart, was only one of
four persons known who
could get into a "pick proof
coin box without a key or a
hammer. ' . ;
Scott said Miller told him
he had resumed tapping phone
boxes because he made only
$350 a month at an electronics
firm and had heavy medical
bills.
Plea Plays Part
Miller's service record and
his plea that he needed the
money to help pay medical
expenses for his , six-year-old
daughter, who has a congeni
tal hip malformation, played
an important part in winning
probation m May.
"There isn't much chance
he won't go to jail this time,"
acott said. ,
The nation's drug compan
ies invested about $170,000,
000 in their research labora
tories in 1958.
