day with prices generally
narrow and mixed.
Nafi Corp. was up as much
as before a rash of selling
orders came in and dropped
the price.
A good earnings report
helped lift U.S. Rubber more
than a point in the tires where
Goodrich fell around 4 and
Goodyear around 1.

pressure. American 'Motors

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. He
said he did not believe the
federal government should be
in the business of paying lo
cal officials.
-He said disclosures in the
House investigation of payola
in the record and radio
broadcasting industries def
initely involved a question of
public morality in instanc
es where airways, licensed by
the government, were being
used for personal gain.
-He called on the American
people to better inform them
selves on primary public is
sues without being led down
alleys by demagogues or laz
ily allowing decisions to be
made for them by popular
public figures.
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.
The President, by inference,
said he thought officials of the
Defense Department could be
considered as experts but that
did not necessarily apply to
some of his critics in . Con
gress. . ' ""
The President did not name
any congressional names, but
Senate Democratic Leader

sional critics. . '. ,
Hot Fight Generated
Eisenhower said the broad
publicizing of personal opin
ions over defense require
ments was a matter he de
plored. The controvery over tHe
President's defense and mis
sile program has generated
the hottest fight of the year
in Washington with hearings
on both sides of the Capitol.
The President was remind
ed that Republican congres
sional leaders, after talking
with him last Tuesday morn
ing, said certain candidates
were performing a disservice
to the country by breaching
security in their attacks on
the administration defense
policies.

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

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.

be believed.
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.

Authorities Working on Theory of Kidnaping
In Disappearance of Colorado Brewery Officer
Golden, Colo.-iUPD-The Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation
and local authorities worked
today on the theory that Mil
lionaire brewer Adolph Coors
III. missing since Tuesday,
was kidnaped.
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.
Adolph Coors III, 45, is

Coors Co., owned by Adolph
