Higher Pearl Costs Seen as Result
Of Damage by Typhoon Vera in Japan
Tokyo -IDPD- That cultured
pearl necklace you were
thinking of buying for $50
may soon cost you at least
$60-and you can blame Ty
phoon Vera. -
The storm, worst of its
kind in Japanese history,
struck last Sept. 26. It left
nearly 5,000 dead and also
dealt a staggering blow to the
nation's pearl producers, most
of whom operate in the hard
hit Nagoya area of central
Honshu.
An estimated 75,000,000
pearl oysters worth $10,055,
000 were swept out to sea or
buried in the mud and debris.
At least 40,000 of the 80,000
pearl "rafts" planted in Ma
toba and Ago bays were
wrecked or badly damaged.
The total loss to the industry
was expected to exceed SI 5,
000,000. "Because of the Typhoon
Vera, Japan's total pearl pro-
Carole Tregoff
Said Happy When
Told of Murder
Los Angeles IUPD "It was
the first time I had ever seen
the girl happy."
The witness was convict
John Patrick Cody and he
was describing the reaction of
red-haired Carole Tregoff
when he told her he had mur
dered the wife of Carole's
lover, Dr. R. Bernard Finch.
When Miss Tregoff realized
that Cody was lying, he said
she told him:
"Jack, you can back out if
you want to. But if you don't
do it the doctor will do it. If
the doctor doesn't do it, I will
do it."
The state charges that
Carole and the surgeon did
murder Mrs. Barbara Jean
Finch the night of July 18
outside the Finch home in
suburban Los Angeles, with
the doctor firing the fatal
shot into his wife's back.
Cody told the court that
he convinced Carole . and
Finch he had done the job,
collected his Sl,400 fee and
blew it all at the dice table in
the casinos along the "strip."
Cody himself is something
out of fiction the typical
"operator," flashily hand
tome, a ladies' man, fast-talking,
fast-thinking. He is here
in custody from Minnesota
where he is serving two years
on a bad check charge.
He resumes testimony to
day. Cody said he first met
Carole last July 1 at Pierre's
College Inn opposite the Uni
versity of Nevada. She was
introduced by college student
Donald Williams, a childhood
friend of Carole's who imme
diately left them alone.
"What did she say?" asked
prosecutor Fred N. Whi
chello. "She asked if Don (Wil-
me
liams) had approached
and - asked me how much
money had he quoted me?"
"What did she say she
wanted you to do?"
"She said she wanted me to
kill Mrs. Finch."
Cody said they "dickered"
about the price.
They agreed on a total of
$1,400 $300 down and the
balance when it was through,
he said. They drove to the air
port where Cody bought a
plane ticket to Phoenix,
Ariz., whence he was to go
by bus to Los Angeles. That
same night he cashed in the
ticket and spent the money
at the Sahara Hotel.
On the day he was sched
uled to leave he and Carole
had another conversation.
She asked him how he would
do it and he said he might
use a shotgun but to leave it
to him. Cody said Miss Tre
goff wanted him to make it
look like a robbery and she
wanted it done on the Fourth
of July weekend while every
one had an alibi. Finch
would be at a tennis tourna
ment and she would be work
ing in the Sands Hotel.
She gave him an envelope
with $330 in cash and another
with maps of the Finch home
and the Hollywood apartment
where Mrs. Finch sometimes
stayed with a girl friend.
"Then or at any time did
you intend to kill anybody?"
Whichello asked.
"No, sir, I know I wasn't
going to kill anybody and
that's all."
He said he thought so little
of the plot he threw away the
maps and hardly glanced at
the photograph of Mrs. Finch
that Carole had given him.
duction may drop by 30 per
cent for 1959 and 40 per cent
in 1960," said Sakae Inouye
of the Japan Pearl Export
and Processing association.
Production To Dip
"It is inevitable that our
exports will decrease and our
prices will increase. We don't
want to raise prices but it is
impossible to avoid."
Most industry sources be
lieve cultured pearls from
Japan will cost at least 20
per cent more as production,
which has averaged about
82,500 pounds annually, dips
to 66,000 pounds in 1960.
What's more, the effects of
Typhoon Vera will be felt for
at least two or three more
years. That's how long it
takes to bring cultured pearls
to maturity.
PEARL RAFTS DAMAGED Crumpled
pearl-farming rafts are washed ashore by
Typhoon Vera, worst storm in Japanese
history, which struck on Sept. 26, 1959. The
130-mile-per-hour storm, which left 5,000
dead, swept an estimated 75,000,000 pearl
oysters worth $10,055,000 out to sea or
caused them to be buried in the mud and
debris. Hence, a sharp increase in the price
of pearls on the world market is expected.
