Prosecutor of Finch Tackles Defense Story Los Angeles-IUPB-Prosecutor Clifford Crail is the master of sarcasm. Tuesday he took the defense's story . at the Finch-Tregoff murder trial and turned it on the surgeon and his mistress. The district attorney, mak ing the first closing argument in the case against Dr. R. Bernard Finch, 42, and Carole Tregoff,'23, made his points by asking questions and let ting the jury answer for them selves. Poses Questions Crail resumes his acid sum mation today, posing more questions like these: If Carole and her lover hired a Las Vegas racketeer simply to get divorce evidence against Barbara Jean Finch, why did they buy him a plane ticket to Phoenix, Ariz., in stead of Los Angeles? Why' did Finch run back in to his garage after "accident ally" shooting his wife last July 18? To Kill Marie Anne Lidholm, their Swedish maid and only eyewitness? When he was tackling Miss Lidholm in fear she had a gun, why did he stop first and turn off the lights? Was it fear of detection? Why did he beat her head into the wall after he found 'she had no gun? Ambulance Question Why didn't he call an am bulance after fracturing his wife's skull to end her at tempts to shoot him? As a doctor didn't he know better than to try to put her into a car? If his wife ran out into the night with a gun, why did .she continue to scream? And why did Finch follow her? Crail pinpointed 15 major conflicts in the story told by Finch on the witness stand and that of Miss Lidholm. He said in most respects Finch had tried to "cut the pattern to the cloth" of the maid's story because there was little question whom the jury would believe. Final Barb v- The prosecutor wound up the day with one final barbed question about hiring convict John Patrick Cody. "They go to Las Vegas and .pay a man more than $1,000. They don't get a recipt. They pay in cash to do a job. What :was that job?" 1 It-i.i. Hf nl sssBasBssssssasjssssssfS?fffe! MAJ. R. S. BARMETTLER MA J. J. S. ALFORT To Discuss Power for Peace Purpose, Operation Of SAC to Be Topic Of Briefing Here Maj. Robert S. Barmettler and Maj. James S. Alfort of the Fifth Bombardment wing, Travis Air Force base, Calif., will discuss the Strategic Air Command at a public meet ing at Hoover school, Siski you blvd., Thursday, Feb. 25. The 9417th Air Reserve Squadron is sponsoring the meeting, which wil begin at 7:45 p.m. The Air Force team will present a first-hand look at SAC and its role "as a power for peace," including SAC's purpose, operation and place in defense strategy. Color slides and maps will be in cluded in the two-hour program. Heavy Bombardment Unit The Fifth Bombardment Wing, a heavy bombardment unit, has the newest and largr est bombers in the world, the Boeing B-52Gs. Each carries more explosive power than all of the bombs dropped by both sides in World War H, including the atomic bombs. The first of the giant bomb ers was delivered in Febru ary, 1959, to the Fifth Bom bardment Wing. "The hope of the free world, if war should come, will rest largely Crail was expected to con clude his argument by noon. Then attorneys for Miss Tre- goff were scheduled to take over. . on the ability of these bomb and missile carriers to carry out the mission of SAC -long-range counter attack to destroy at once the enemy's ability to wage war, accord ing to the Air Force. . The B-52G can fly more than 10 miles high at speeds over 650 miles an hour. One demonstrated recently that it is able to cover more than 9,000 miles without refueling. Electronics Equipment The Big Gee has secret Electronics Counter-Measures equipment which can jam ground and aerial radar, and upset plane or missile radio systems. In other words, the bomber is guarded against guided missile attack. In addition to the bombing power of the new "G" models, each bomber has two super sonic Hound Dog missiles capable of blasting targets hundreds of miles apart. The 240-ton capsule-like bomber, an investment of $16,000,000 when fully loaded, also has the unique feature of allow ing its tail gunner to sit up front, firing by remote control. Travis Air Force Base has 30 of the bombers. Eventually half of that number will go to Beale Air Force base near Marysville, Calif. As produc tion continues, other SAC bases will add them. lor IBS years... one Beam im J .if) family,one purpose always- Jg5, - the world's finest bourbon.
