Opposes Salaries Funds -He energetically opposed appropriation of federal funds for teachers' salaries as pro vided for in the $1,800,000, 000 Senate school bill.

The press conference was dominated largely by ques tions and answers involving his defense program, the mis sile gap between this Coun try and Russia, and the vary ing opinions of experts on what America most needs to remain strong and powerful in the space age.

Confiscation of Property Part Of Court Order Havana - (tIPD - A five-man revolutionary tribunal has sentenced 104 "counter-revolutionary plotters" to prison for terms ranging from 3 to 30 years in the biggest con spiracy trial held so far in Premier Fidel Castro's Cuba. The tribunal ordered con fiscation of the property of all those convicted - notably the sizeable cattle ranches owned by several defendants. 36 Acquitted Thirty-six of the 140 per sons on trial were acquitted on grounds that they were merely innocent bystanders on th scene of various clash es between secret police and foes of the Castro regime. Defendants at the month long trial included survivors of the action in August at Trinidad, Cuba, and persons arrested on a variety , of charges by raiders in at least three of Cuba's six provinces. Thirty-year sentences were imposed on the nine survivors of the "invasion." Two other invaders and two soldiers were killed in a clash at the scene of the invasion attempt. 'Leaders' Sentenced Nineteen persons were sen tenced to serve 20-year terms, 37 to 9 years, 21 to 6 years and 18 to 3 years. Ex-Sen. Arturo Hernandez Tellaheche and cattlemen's leader Arturo Cainas Milanes, alleged "president" and "vice president" of a proposed counter-revolutionary regime drew nine years each. Among those sentenced to serve 20 years were a number of persons said to have been chosen for cabinet posts in the anti-Castro regime. It was not clear why they drew stiff- er sentences than Hernandez and Cainas. Finch Has Answers For Prosecution Salem - (UPD - Receipts of the Oregon Treasury Depart ment for January were $48, 798,703 compared with $46, 100,031 for January of last year. Los Angles (UPD Prose cutor Fred N. Whichello put the key question to Dr. R. Bernard Finch. When the doctor finally wrested the revolver from Barbara Jean Finch that night, the district attorney asked, why didn't he either throw it away or take it and run? As he has on every occasion, the doctor had the answers. If he threw it away, his wife might go after it and shoot either him or his mis tress, Carole Tregoff, 23. Tackled The Maid He heard the footsteps of maid Marie Anne Lidholm ap proaching and he thought she had a rifle. She might shoot him down if she saw him fleeing. Instead, he fractured his wife's skull with the re volver and tackled Miss Lid holm as she came into the garage. That s where the cross ex amination of the 42-year-old surgeon ended Wednesday. Today Whichello was to take Finch once more over the ac tual "accidental" shooting of his wife July 18 outside their West Covina home and their last, death-side conversation.

There is the spectacle of the mild, fatherly prosecutor getting down on his seat pants on the courtroom. floor and in viting Dr. Finch to show him with a revolver - but tenderly - how he hit his wife on the head. Finch Very Obliging Finch obliges with coopera tive enthusiasm. He calls the man who wants to send him to the gas chamber "Mr. Which ello." There is respect in his tone of a younger man for an older and wiser one. He tells Whichello he can't demonstrate how he seized his wife's hair because the prosecutor is almost bald. Finch said the other day "I don't gamble." That may be true so far as money goes. But Finch is gam bling everything that the jury will believe his story of com plete innocence with its host of inconsistencies and coinci dences. Whichello pounded at some of those points Wednesday. Finch said he feared Marie Anne was coming with a rifle he had showed her how to use. The doctor said if the maid saw him standing over his wife with a gun, she would almost certainly shoot him. "I didn't want any gun play," he explained.

The Coors family, one of the wealthiest in the west, was convinced "Ad" had been kid naped or waylaid. Adolph Coors Jr., who flew home Wednesday night from a Ha waiian vacation, said "money is secondary. The main thing is to get my son back alive." The FBI entered the case on the assumption that the missing millionaire had been kidnaped But if any ransom demand or other communication from kidnapers had been received by the family, neither they nor authorities gave any indi cation of it.
