Jacksonville House
Destroyed by Fire
Jacksonville One of the
first residences built in Jack
sonville burned Sunday eve
ning, despite efforts of 15
Jacksonville volunteer fire
men.
The two-story frame struc
ture, at 502 North Fifth st.
was formerly the William
Eden residence. It was be
lieved to have been built by
a man named Neuber, first
jeweler and silversmith in
Jacksonville during the gold
rush days, whose family first
lived there.
Firemen were able to con
fine the blaze to the building
and no damage was reported
to nearby residences. Two
trucks responded to the call.
The house was owned by
the Jacksonville Assembly of
God church. It was being
rented to the Mack Griffin
family, who were attending
services at the church when
the fire was discovered shortly
before 7 p.m. The interior of
the building was destroyed.
Church officials reported to
day that the building and its
contents were insured.
No cause has been deter
mined for the blaze.

Registrar To
Assure Voting
Rights Proposed
Washington (UPD The sec
ond session of the 86th Con
gress plunged today into its
first full working week with
early skirmishing on two ma
jor battlefronts - civil rights
and missile-space spending.
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.
Protest Urged
Other congressional de
velopments:
-Assistant Senate Demo
cratic Leader Mike Mansfield
(Mont.) urged the State De
partment to lodge a strong
protest against Russia's "ar
rogant" plan to test a power
ful new rocket in the central
Pacific.
-Sens. 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. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.)
proposed that the Senate
Democratic Policy Committee
be expanded from 9 to 15
members to better reflect
overall party sentiment on
key issues.
-Dirksen conceded that
Eisenhower's forecast of a
$4,200,000,000 budget surplus
for the next fiscal year would
be a "terrible temptation and
frightful lure" to big spend
ing advocates. 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.
Pear Decline to
Be Meeting Topic
- Dr. S. B. Apple Jr., head of
the department of horticul
ture, Oregon State college,
will speak on the pear decline
research problem during the
annual meeting of the Fruit
League of Jackson County
Friday at the Medf ord YMCA.
Dr. Apple will tell of prog
ress made in the decline study
and will outline future plans,
a league spokesman said. The
sudden illness of Prof. Henry
Hartman, OSC horticulturist,
who had been working on the
pear decline problem in this
area, caused a revamping of
the program.
Another speaker on Fri
day's program, which gets un
derway at 11 a.m., will be
Howard Sugi, Farm Bureau
representative. Various irriga
tion district managers will
speak on irrigation problems.
During the business meeting

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. "

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

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

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

Sister Rowe, a tall, gray

Rowe will be paid the cus

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

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."
