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

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.
