American Motors eased in

Southerners To
Resume Speeches
Urging Delay
Washington -UPD Southern
ers and some civil rights back
ers were on the same side for
once today in opposing Sen
ate Democratic Leader Lyn
do B. Johnson's strategy for
the long-awaited election-year
showdown . on rights legisla
tion. Southern senators planned
to continue their lengthy
speeches urging the chamber
to postpone the. rights debate
until next Thursday to give
committees a chance to send
civil rights proposals to the
floor.
To Ask Approval
Sen. Kenneth B. Keating
(R-N.Y.), a rights proponent
who also opposes Johnson's
procedure, said he would ask
the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee to approve some form of
civil rights bill at its first ses
sion of the year this morning.
Johnson, a Texas Democrat
and presidential aspirant,
drew criticism from both
side when he opened the
rights debate Monday by
bringing up a local Missouri
school bill and inviting law
makers to attach' civil rights
proposals as amendments.
Keating said he first would
seek a judiciary committee
vote on the administration's
seven-part civil rights bill. He
conceded approval was -unlikely.
If the committee voted
him down, Keating said he
then would ask action on a so
called "mild" two-part rights
measure; approved by a judi
ciary subcommittee last year.'
Other congressional news:
Iinleresl: The Senate-House
Economic Committee called
in Treasury Secretary Robert
B. Anderson to question him
about President Eisenhower's
renewed request for elimina
tion of the 44 per cent inter
est ceiling on government
bonds. Congress - ignored the
appeal last year. The Demo
cratic Advisory.; Council said
in a statement that removal
of the Interest lid would
boost all interest charges and
contribute to higher prices.
Housing: Sen. Jacob K. Ja
vits (R-N.Y.) planned to in
troduce a three-part housing
bill. It would increase gov
ernment relocation grants to
families and businesses
forced to move by slum clear
ance projects and would
double the federal emergency
fund for helping communities
which temporarily exhaust
their slum clearance alloca
tions. It ' also would cut the
FHA mortgage insurance pre
mium on multiple rental and
cooperative housing projects.
Javits said this would save
tenants about $30 a year.

I found the boy to be carrying

er's home in. Ashland. Police

a runaway. His father does
not live, in Ashland, but in
; Salem, police learned.

. Los Angeles (DPD . Carole
Tregoff, on trial for the mur
der of her lover's wife, returns
to the stand today to face an
other withering cross-examination
that reduced her to
tears Monday. V
The . red-haired mistress of
Dr, R. Bernard . Finch, 42,
broke briefly Monday under
questioning b y prosecutor
Clifford Crail about the night
of July 18 when Mrs. Bar
bara Jean Finch was slain.
Both Carole and Finch are
charged with her murder. k
Crail Takes Over
Carole, 23, was on the wit
ness stand less than five min
utes under questioning by her
own lawyer. She said "abso
lutely not" when asked wheth
er she plotted to kill Mrs.
Finch or tried to murder her.
Then the grim-faced Crail
took over. Within an hour
Carole was in tears and sob
bing. Crail says he has per
haps another full day 01
questions.
Carole's cross-examination
was in direct contrast to that
of the surgeon. Finch was on
the witness stand for six days.
His cross - examination b y
Crail's colleague, Fred Which
ello, was so gentlemanly that
Whichello has won the nick
name, "Cream Puff."
Carole's breaking point
came when Crail asked her
about the scene in the garage
when she and Finch asked
Mrs. Finch if they could talk
to her about a divorce.
Savs Victim Had Gun
"She said no or something
like that," Carole replied.
"The next thing that hap
Dened. she had a gun - and
pointed it at me. Something
was thrown at me and then
I left," Carole said.
. She began crying. Crail said
he didn't want to continue
under those circumstances.
Carole straightened her shoul
ders and said she could go on.
Still to be covered by the
prosecution were these points:
Carole contracting and pay
ing $1,350 to convict John
Patrick Cody in Las Vegas.
She and Finch say it was to
trail Mrs. Finch for divorce
evidence. Cody says it was for
murder. The big question is
why Carole paid the full
amount at the outset.
Crouching in the bushes for
six hours outside the Finch
home while police swarmed
about it. If she was complete
ly innocent, why did she not
emerge? v.
'Not Important'
The so-called "murder kit."
Carole admitted Monday she
carried the attache kit to the
scene. She also admitted she
did not tell police about it at
first because she "didn't think
it was important."
Her testimony that Finch
flung a shaving kit with bul
lets to her in the garage. That
is the crux of the defense
case-that Mrs. Finch had the
eun and bullets in her car.
J Crail said Monday that any
person would have fled the
minute they saw Mrs. Finch
with the gun. Carole said she
waited until she got the kit.
Ballistic PriissiOes Said To
Give Aggressor Advantages
(Continued from Page 1)
Although it is little known,
the Air Force's Discoverer
satellite series is a research
and development project lead
ing directly to Midas and
Samos. The space vehicle in
the Discoverer series, the top
stage of the rocket called
Agena, is the only space ve
hicle being produced in this
country on an assembly line
basis.
In a recent visit to BMD in
search of facts about the cur
rent defense and space con
troversies, this reporter ob
tained from A. F. Donovan,
STL vice president and di
rector of advanced systems
planning, the reasoning be
hind the military satellite ef
fort. He noted that the U. S. mo
nopoly on deterrent power
ended in 1954 and that by
1958 the Soviet Union was
claiming to have its own stra
tegic force.
Donovan pointed out that
ballistic missiles give an ag
gressor many advantages. For
example:
-They can be launched in
salvo, and defense against
them is not yet practicable.
-They do not have to be in
safe underground sites or mo
bile because they will not be
attacked. They will be fired
first.
Donovan said the United
States needs "overwhelming
superiority in a new deterrent
approach, both revolutionary
weapons systems and military
space applications."
Space vehicles, he said,
could counter the - information-gathering
or intelligence-
gathering advantage a Com
munist country has over a de
mocracy and also could "elim
inate the surprise attack ad
vantage."
Donovan said optimistically
that many of the obstacles. to
military use of space can be
overcome. He listed the ob
stacles as high costs, difficul
ty of returning from orbit,
present inability to maneuver
in space and short life of
space payloads.
Maj. Gen. O. J. Ritland,
BiMD commander, said the
Midas (missile defense alarm
system) could double the
warning time available from
Arctic radars now being built.
Using infr: red sensing de
vices, Midas satellites in po
lar orbits several hundnds
miles high could detect an
enemy missile at the moment
of launching by spotting the
missile s heat trail.
The Samos Satellite, he
said, would be a global sur
veillance system, wiping out
Russia's intelligence - gather -
ing advantage.
Pointing out that American
ballistic missiles were devel
oped and made operational
in five short years by simul
taneous research, production,
base construction and crew
training, Ritland said:
"This same concept of con
currency, and the priorities
and funds that go with it,
should now be applied to the
expenditious development of
our military space systems."
Besides the Midas and
Samos, BMD is studying the
possible uses of moon ob
servatories and "interplanet
ary systems" under projects
respectively called SR-183
and SR-182.
Goes One Better
At Sacramento, Calif., an
official of Aerojet -General
Corp. who formerly served in
the Pentagon's space technol
ogy program, went the BMD
one better.
D. A. Young. Aeroiet's
long-range planning director.
said there should be an ur
gent effort to develop armed
satellites. He said it was tech
nically possible for the So
viet Union to have such wea
pons in the "next few years,"
ana tne United States had
better not lag.
Young said such satellites
in Soviet hands, armed with
kill mechanisms." could in
time counter the U.S. Stra
tegic Air Command and in
tercontinental ballistic mis
siles, and reduce retaliatory
power to "zero."
"We must get that capabil
ity (armed satellites) iirsV
he said.
Next: The ballistic missil
effort.
