Backstairs: Hotel Helps Ike fo Belq
By MERRIMAN SMITH
UPI White House Reporier
Washington - d'PD - Back
stairs at the White House:
When President Eisenhower
was in California last week
visiting the home of George
E. Allen on the grounds of
the La Quinta hotel, the man
agement made a special effort
to add to the recreational pos
sibilities for the chief execu
tive.
Three small lakes on the
hotel golf course were stock
ed with bass or rainbow trout
11 tne rresiaent had any
thought of trying his fishing
luck, however, it vanished
completely when he heard
that the bass and trout were
biting best on delicatessen
bait, liver and cheese.
Eisenhower is a fishing pur
ist, a confirmed dry fly man.
He regards fishing with such
stuff as liver and cheese as
permissible for very small
children, but utterly repre
hensible for the adult.
The announcement that
Mrs. Eisenhower would not
accompany the President to
South America came as no
surprise to her friends. In
fact, they, were most surpris
ed by the original announce
ment of some weeks ago that
she would undertake the
gruelling 17,000 miles of e
travel.
Mamie kisenhower is so
cially charming, but she is
not strong physically. If she
had gone to South America,
she would not have been able
to participate in many aspects
of the visit.
The White House says she
still plans to go to Russia in
June with the President, but
that remains to be seen.
At the Eldorado Golf club
not far from Palm Springs
the President last week hit a ed, the Coast Guard reported
terrible drive which onomem

"It was a beautiful 30CDyard
smash," 9aid the man, "one

H TWO CHOICE e siSt
Dr. Finch to Take
Witness Stand in
Trial for Murder
By JACK V. FOX
Los Angeles (UPD The sur
geon with the sincere eyes
tells this week his story of
how Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch
- ' i X J it O
was snoi to ueaui.
Dr. R. Bernard Fich is
earpected to take the witness
stand sometime late today
os Wednesday morning to give
for the first time his version
of his wife's slaying.
"We have heard a lot of
stories in this trial," Fjnch
told this correspondent, "But
when you get down to it, I
am the only eye witness to
what happened. And I am not
guilty of what they say I am."
Killing Charged
What they say is that Finch,
42, and Carole Tregoff, 23,
after e two year illicit love
affair, killed the doctor's bru
nette wife because ehe had
tied up all his money esti
mated at $750,000.
Tha trial resumeQj Monday
alter e postponement since
last Tuesday due to the illness
of a witness. ' ,
Had Carole remained silent
miht not be ofi trial as e
co-defendant.
Not a single witness so far
hag even ploced Findh's red
haired mistress at tha scene
of the July 18 slaying outside
the cliff-top home in West Co
vina, Calif.
Carried Ccge
But she did admit in two
statements that she went with
her lovyr to the Finch home
that night and that she carried
up the driveway an attache
case containing rope, butcher
knife, bullets, hypodermic
needles and Seconal.
Miss Tregoff, when she was
first questioned, neither ask
ed for a lawyer nor claimed
her constitutional right not to
say anything. . "
Authorities in Las Vegas
did not advise her of those
privileges nor did the prose
cuting attorneys or the judge
at Finch's preliminary hear
ings. She was arrested-then
on a murder charge as she
stepped from tie stand.
The judge who presided at
that hearing testified. Carole
became so emotional during
Pher testimony that day that
she had to be helped off the
stand and into the judge's
chambers where they had a
private conversation.
CoulS Be Damaging
Defense lawyers from Jerry
Giesler's office will argue
against admitting into evi
dence the previous statements
that Carole made. They could
be most damaging. There are
conflicts and omiions - such
as the absence of any mention
of contacting convict Jolfti
Patrick Cody is Las Vegas
about Mrs. Finch.
Prosecutor Fred N. Which
ello expected to wind up the
state's case at noon today.
Whichello has said he will
seek the gas chamber both for
Finch and Miss Tregoff.

el. That month was the big
gest in stock exchange history

in volume and suffered wide
losses on fears the current
rate of sales would not su
stain the antfiipated volume

were hard hit largely through
neglect of buyers than any
sales pressure.
The market worried about
the steel situation and was
particularly perturbed when
the head of U.S. Steel didn't
want to make predictions be

of Bethlehem, however, pre-
dieted a record year in steel
production but this failed to
turn the tide of the decline.
The FrerPch Algerian prob

a part in the selloff.

A big batch of corporation
reports, many of them steel
