Maid's Testimony
Target of Defense
in Finch Trial
. Los Angeles-dJPD - The de-
-fense for Dr. R. Bernard
Finch was to rip again today
into the testimony of Swedish
maid Marie Anne Lidholm
about the struggle preceding
the death of the doctor's wife.
Miss Lidholm, 19, and
."pretty as they grow them in
Sweden," is the most danger
ous witness the 43-year-old
'surgeon had in his trial with
Carole Tregoff, 23,- for the
alleged murder of Barbara
Finch.
'Discrepancies Pinpointed
Grant Cooper, Finch's law
'yer, pinpointed.il discrepan
cies in her story Monday and
"was set today to emphasize
pwhat he thinks may be a key
to the case.
That consists of the two
-varying stories of whether
"Finch had a gun in his hand
when he ran out o the Finch
garage after his wife the night
of Julv 18. She was found
short in the back. The defense
says the - fatal injury came
after a struggle for a gun
first held by Mrs. Finch.
Believe Doing Her Best
Cooper said Monday he
thought Miss Lidholm was do
ing her best to tell the truth.
But - she was more sympa
thatie toward Mrs. Finch, he
said, and open to the "power
of suggestion."
t Cooper said the jury was
duty bound to accept reason
able explantions of actions by
Finch that might have been
innocent. He said they also
had to find the surgeon guilty
beyond reasonable doubt.
."Reasonable doubt is like
love," he said. "You can't de
fine it but you know when
you've got it."

New Lamb Grading
Standards in Effect
Washington - (UPD - Lower
govern ment standards for
grading lamb and mutton
went into effect today and
may help housewives save
money on the family grocery
bill.
Agriculture Department of
ficials said the new standards
would permit more lamb to
be marked prime and choice,
increasing the supply. The
normal operation of supply
and demand should result in
lower prices, they added.
To Get Honest Deal
One official said that as
long as the housewife de
pends on government grades
in buying meat, she will get
an honest deal. He pointed
out that few persons are
qualified to judge meat ac
curately" 'and expertly. "."
"The housewife is not go
ing to be Cheated," the official
said. "

Another Agriculture De
partment aide pointed out that
beef standards were lowered
some time ago and there was
no anguish to the buying pub
lic. No Price Change
The official had no fear that
retail prices would rise be
cause grading revisions would
put more meat in the so-called
expensive classifications. He
said competition in the meat
industry would take care of
any price change.
The Agriculture Depart
ment reduced minimum re
quirements for the prime and
choice grades of lamb and
mutton. This change will in
crease the number of lambs
that qualify for the two
grades. Prior to the revision,
few buyers could get prime or
choice lamb because it . was
not available under the old
standards.

Leak of Military
Information
Being Studied
Washington-fUPD - The gov
ernment has been investiga
ting "leaks" of classified mili
tary information after it has
been secretly given to Con
gress by U. S. intelligence
agencies.
The matter could lead to
administration review of the
whole question of how wide
ly Congress should be briefed
on secret military informa
tion, informal sources said to
day. ...
Dulles Testimony Leaked
The investigation centered
on a leak to the press of
closed-door testimony by Al
len W. Dulles, director of the
Central Intelligence Agency,
before the Senate space-preparedness
committees in Jan
uary.
Dulles' testimony concern
ed estimates of Russian mis
sile capabilities.
Security on the whole has
been, considered good. Publi
cation of what purported to
be Dulles' January testimony
is regarded in some official
quarters as the one major
"leak."
But the incident prompted
an investigation both inside
and outside the CIA.
It also raised in official
circles the problem of how
to deal with one basic stra
tegic advantage, of the Soviet
Union over the United States
Russia' far superior capaci
ty for .keeping information
secret.
rne Kussian advantage is
based bh both geography
her vast open spaces and on
her totalitarian system of gov
ernment.
It has been behind Russia's
consistent refusal to permit
disarmament inspections by
Western countries. "

Around-Clock
Debate Continues
On Senate Floor
Washington - (UPD - The
Senate droned into the second
day of its around-the-clock
civil rights debate today with
a conciliatory note from
Southerners on proposed Ne
gro voting guarantees.
But the Southern senators,
fighting to block passage of a
civil rights bill, showed no
Signs of surrendering to Sen
ate leaders' efforts to break
t.hfir talkathon hv keeDins
them in continuous session.
16 Consecutive Hours
By 4 a.m. (e.s.t.), weary
senators had heard 16 con
secutive hours of talk on civil
rights and a variety of other
topics - both important and
irrelevant and had become
embroiled in complic a t e d
parliamentary discussi ons.
The most significance, how
ever, was placed on a state
ment by Sen. Richard B. Rus
sell (D-Ga.), leader of the
Dixie bloc, that two parts of
the Eisenhower administra
tion's seven-point civil rights
proposal were relatively in
offensive to the South.
Russell told the Senate that
Attorney General William P.
Rogers' plan for court ap
pointed voting Teferees to pro
tect Negro voting rights in the
South was "way down the
line in the order of being
obnoxious to me and my as
sociates."
Least Objectionable
And he described as "the
least objectionable provision
of the bill" a section which
would require state election
officials to preserve voting
records for three years.
In fact, Russell said he saw
little wrong with this section
except for some increase in
the attorney general's power.
But otherwise the well-organized
band Of 16 Southern'
senators continued to oppose
stubbornly new rights legisla
tion. They worked in relays
to keep part of their forces
on
the floor at all times.
Sen. A. Willis Robertson (D
Va.) indicated the Southern
ers were prepared to keep up
their talkathon for days. Af
ter talking for more than four
hours Monday night, he said
he planned to speak again
Thursday.
Sen. Spessard L. Holland
(D-Fla.), who spoke in the
hours between midnight and
dawn, hinted that new civil
rights laws might spark racial
violence in the South. The
South hasn't had any race
riots yet, he said, but it is
"apt to have."
Sen. Evertt B. Jordan (D
N.C.), who followed Holland,
complained that governors
and other state officials had
not been given a chance to
testify at congressional hear
ings on civil rights legislation.
Democrats Name
Finance Chairman
' Portland - (UPD - D e w e y
Rand Sr., publisher of the
weekly Salem Capital Press,
has been named chairman of
the State Democratic Finance
committee.
Rand, active in Democratic
party activities for many
years, said an immediate
drive would be started to
raise an executive budget. He
said this would be used to
support a state headquarters
staff which would offer in
creased services to all Demo
cratic county organizations

Washington -(UPD- The basic
issue behind the Senate's his
toric around-the-clock civil
rights debate is the right of
Negroes in' the South to vote.
Republicans and .Northern
Democrats both want credit
for federal action to insure
wider Negro suffrage in this
presidential election year.
Want To Go Further
But many civil rights advo
cates from ' big Northern
states want to go much
further. On the other hand,
many moderates are willing
to settle for some Jrind of vot

A hard core Southern bloc
is fighting all proposals on
grounds that they violate
state sovereignty and that

Rail Negotiators
Discuss Machinery
For Arbitration
Chicago - (UPD - Negotiators ,
of the nation's railroads and
the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers resumed talks
today in an effort to set up
machinery for arbitration of
their wage dispute.
Robert O. Boyd, chairman
of the National Railway Me
diation Board, said selection
of two neutral members of a
six-man arbitration panel was
the chief issue holding up
agreement of the arbitiation
procedures.
Negotiators Hopeful
Talks in Washington last
week failed to bring agree
ment on the make-up of the
board but Boyd, who was sit
ting in on the talks together
witft Leverett Edwards, ano'h-

hopeful the two sides could
get together.
The Railway Labor Act pro
vides that the mediation board
shall name the neutral mem
bers if the two sides cannot
agree. The railroads and en
gineers agreed Feb. 4 to let
arbitrators decide their dis
pute, in.. which the 40,000'
member BLE seeks a 12 per
cent wage increase and the
carriers want; to cut engi
neers' wages 15 cents an hour.
Talks To Resume
Wage talks were scheduled
to be resumed today between
the railroads and the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen on
contract terms affecting more
than 100,000 BRT members.
