Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R- N.Y.) announced he would in troduce today a package of five civil rights bills, includ ing one calling for appoint ment of federal registrars to assure voting rights. Seen Controversial Issue Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirk sen (111.) promptly predicted that the registrars proposal would be come one of the "controver sial" issues of the new session which convened Wednesday On the missile-space issue, Rep. Overton Brooks (D-La.) charged that the administra tion's program was clouded by "duplication, rivalry and indecision." He planned to an nounce today a witness list for House Space Committee investigation starting next Monday. Sen. Stuart Symington (D- Mo.), a Democratic president ial prospect, accused Presi dent Eisenhower Sunday night of giving the people mis taken information about the status of the defense and space programs.

J. William Fullbright (D-Ark.) and John Marshall Butler (R-Md.) said in separate statements that the Eisenhow er administration used threats and political maneuvers to force settlement of the steel dispute. Expansion Proposed -Sen.

Other sources said spending this year is run ning $500,000,000 below ex pectations and the President believes chances for a general tax cut ia 1961 are strong.

The jailbreak touched off an intensive manhunt involv Writer Describes Traditions Surrounding Birth of By MARGARET SAVILLE United Press International London J. R. Clynes was not one of Britain's better known Home Secretaries. But he was the last to wit ness the birth of a Royal baby. Clynes travelled to Scot land in August, 1930, and stayed near Glamis Castle. He watched the birth of Prin cess Margaret and officially confirmed that the Duchess of York (now Queen Mother Elizabeth) really did give birth to the child. The custom of having "of ficial witnesses" to Royal births began after a scandal in 1688. durine the reign of James II. King George VI ended it because he felt it no longer necessary. Now the Home Secretary does not at tend the birth; instead he is merely the first person out side the royal family to be in formed of it. The scandal which began the custom was the birth of a son to Mary of Modeno, wife of James II. Soon after the birth it was alleged that Mary's child was alleged still born and that a substitute ba by was smuggled into her bed in a warming pan. The story has been disprov ed, mainly because of family likeness, but the son, James, never ascended to the throne. He spent most of his life in exile, and died in Rome in 1766, a broken man. From then on, until the cus tom ended with the birth of Princess Margaret, the Brit ish government took strict precautions to ensure there were no substitutions, ruling that the Home Secretary must be present whenever a queen gave birth to a child. It is nearly 103 years since a child has been born to a reigning queen in London it self. The last time was in 1857, when Queen Victoria gave birth to Beatrice, young est of her nine children. . The official announcement read: "This afternoon, at a quar ter, before two o'clock, the queen was safely delivered of a Princess. His Royal High ness Prince Albert, the Con sort, several Lords of Her Majesty's Privy Council and the Ladies of Her Majesty's Bedchamber all being pres ent." Victoria's youngest daught er was born in a room crowd ed with heavy, elaborate furn iture. The huge gilded bed was draped with velvet cur tains, surmounted by a gold crown. , China ewers and cans of hot water were carried in by maids and placed for use by the doctors on a marble-topped wash-stand. " The attendant -ladies sat on Democratic Central Committee to Meet The Democratic Central committee of Jackson county will meet . Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 8 p.m. at the Labor temple, 24 V South Grape st. Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr. will speak on the national issues to be stressed at the state platform convention scheduled Jan. 22 and 23 in Salem. The delegates to the convention will also discuss the various resolutions Jack son county will present at the convention. K. C.

All county Democrats are invited to attend the meeting. a row of chairs beside one wall, with the lords behind them. During the last stages of labor, a screen was placed round the foot of the bed. Later the chief doctor came around it and held up the baby for all to see. Prince Had to Sit Prince Albert was unable to pace up and down in the tradition of expectant fath ers. He had to sit still, arms folded until the baby' was brought out. By contrast, Queen Eliza eth's third child will be born in a bare room, stripped of all accessories, as starkly hygien ic as if it were a hospital ward. She will be alone with her doctors and nurses, and Prince Philip will be free to pace the corridor outside as he wishes. When the baby is born, the chief surgeon will give the news. A few simple lines of announcement will be writ ten, signed by the four doc tors, and posted by a police man on the gates of Bucking ham Palace. Philip will then inform Love Affair To Be Discussed in Trial Of Finch, Tregoff Los Angeles-dlPJ-The Finch Tregoff murder trial moves this week into the surgeon's- love affair with his 23-year-old former receptionist and the alleged motives for his wife's slaying. Dr. Bernard Finch, 42, set red-haired Carole Tregoff up in an apartment in Monterey Park two years before the killing, the state charges, and posed for the landlady as her "traveling salesman" hus band. Prosecutor Fred N. Which ello was moving slowly over the outline he drew for the jury at trial opening-first "A -the Murder" and then "B- the reasons." The subhead under "B" was "1-the triangle." To Resume Testimony Autopsy surgeon Dr. Ger ald Ridge was scheduled to resume testimony today un der cross - examination by Finch's lawyer, Grant Cooper. Cooper drew from Ridge Friday that a bruise on the right hand of Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch, 33, could "pos sibly" have been inflicted in a struggle for the pistol with which the trim brunette was slain. Ridge also testified that Mrs. Finch was shot in the back and that her skull had been fractured by a blow be fore the shooting.

Won't See Queen , Philip, will not see the Queen or the new baby until the following day in ac cordance with current medi cal practice. The Queen has specially asked that Sister Helen Rowe, who attended the birth of Charles and Anne, should again be the nursing riidwife for her third confinement. Sister Rowe, a tall, gray haired woman in her 50's, has often assisted Royal Sur geon John Harold Peel. Fees Are . Waived Royal doctors traditionally waive their fees when they attend Royalty, but Sister Rowe will be paid the cus tomary rate, 21 pounds ($53.80) a week, plus board, lodging and laundry.

Then" Whichello ! had a roster of witnesses to tell about the wealthy doctor's infatuation with Carole. Managers To Be Called Among them were: Attorney Joseph T. Forno, who represented Mrs. Finch in a divorce action in which Miss Tregoff was to be named as co-respondent. The managers of two apart ment houses near the Finch home where the doctor paid Miss Tregoff s rent and was a frequent visitor. The manager of another apartment house in Las Vegas rented for Carole by Finch. The surgeon was found in bed there the day after the shooting. Miss Tregoff was at her job in the cocktail lounge of the Sands Hotel. Wichello said the manager would testify that Finch told him: "As soon as I settle up my affairs in Los Angeles, I will join her." Tried To 'Reason' Miss Tregoff said at a pre liminary hearing that she and Finch went to the doctor's home to try to "reason" with Mrs. Finch about a scandal that would hurt his lucrative practice at .his West Covina Medical Center. The state charges they took along a "murder kit"-intend- mg to kill or drug Mrs. Finch but the plan backfired and Finch was forced to shoot her.

Court Refuses To Reconsider Chessman Case Washington -(UPD- The Su preme Court refused today to reconsider its Dec. 14 order denying another hearing to author - convict Caryl Chess man, the one-time "red light bandit" of Los Angeles, now in a death cell in San Quen- tin Prison. Chessman also has a habeas corpus petition before U. S. District Court in San Fran cisco. Meantime, California au thorities have fixed Chess man's new execution date for Feb. 19. Chessman, convicted in 1948 on 17 counts of kidnaping,- robbery and sexual as sault, has been staving off death in the gas chamber for 11 years with his appeals They deal with the accuracy of the record made at his trial Because of the death of the shorthand reporter, his notes were transcribed by a substi tute who Chessman contends was incompetent. The unsuccessful December appeal asked the U. S. Su preme Court either to free Chessman permanently or to grant him a new trial. In seeking reconsideration Chessman's lawyers asked the court to explain its brief ac tion, which consisted merely of an order saying "denied." It is not the court's practice to explain these denials, but the petition said: "The Chess man case which has aroused international concern with this country's administration of justice and. which involves a human life, to be resolved by blind guesses or specula tion as to what this court meant when it acted as it did."
