Ted, the youngest of Sen. John Kennedy's brothers, flew here Tuesday night for a hur ried press conference and a meeting with citizens-for-Ken-nedy workers and regular Democratic precinct workers. Kennedy said that every one hoped the current con gressional session would end soon so the campaign could get underway in earnest. He said that registration cam paigns in California and Ore gon had been quite successful but that he has not yet had time to study a report on Washington's regis trations, which he received Tuesday. The young Kennedy brother went to Boise, Idaho, this morning. Ex-Medford Pastor Gets New Post Portland - IUPI) - Archbishop Edward D.

Shell Oil Socony Mobil OU Southern Co Southern Pacific Standard California . Standard Indiana ..... Standard K. 1 Sun Minea Texa Co California Backs Finding; Oregon, Washington Quiet By JERRY REYNOLDS United Press International Sacramento, Calif. - CPt -Only California has backed a hired consulting firm's pre liminary finding that an elec tric power contract with the Pacific Northwest would pro vide "major and lasting bene fits" to California, Oregon and Washington. Representatives of Oregon and Washington remained neutral, saying their states would have to study the re port before deciding whether to endorse it. Private electric companies and California water district associations opposed it flatly. The preliminary report was made by the engineering and consulting firm of H. Zinder and Associates, Seattle. It was presented Tuesday at a one-day hearing of the Cali fornia Senate Fact - finding Committee on Water. Sol E. Schultz, a partner in the Zinder firm, presented the report which proposed a $200 million, 500,000 -volt trans mission line to carry surplus power from the Bonneville Power Administration in the Northwest to near Bakers field, Calif. Would Produce Profit Schultz said the sale of the power in California would pay for the .transmission line in 10 years and at the same time produce a profit of $12 mil lion a year. Ralph Brody, special water consultant to California Gov. Edmund C. Brown, said Brown "is convinced that the broad study which has been initiated is the first step to ward an interstate power agreement which would be of direct and great benefit to public and private agencies in the states of Washington, Oregon and California." Joncl C. Hill, Oregon pub lic utility commissioner, and Earl Coe, director of conserv ation for Washington, both said that the Bonneville serv ice area should have first call on power produced on the Columbia River and that California should get only the surplus. Governor Brown has agreed to this. Hill said he expected a bill to be introduced in Congress soon to protect Bonneville's market area. He said the bill would empower the secretary of the interior to cancel Cali fornia contracts for Bonne ville power when it is neces sary to do so to fulfill con tracts for power in the North west. Two private utility com panies, the Pacific Gas and Electric company and the Southern California Edison company, challenged the Zind er report. Robert G. Gerdes, vice president of Pacific Gas and Electric, said importation of Northwest power would ruin the California fuel oil industry and would have "a very serious effect on all the 011 refiners In California." Schultz said the power in- tertic would "conserve nat ural resources" by using the surplus power generated in the Northwest and by saving oil, in some years equivalent to 20 million barrels, that otherwise would be used to generate electricity. Gerdes and water district associations also said the power importation would "slow down" construction of water projects in Northern California, some of which are made feasible by power sales. New Power Markets Brody replied that the im ported power would be used in southern California and the transmission lines would be made available to small water projects, creating a new power market for them. Schultz said Bonneville can furnish one million kilowatts of firm power to California by building a 300.000 kilo watt steam generating plant at Cle Elum, Wash. He said this would revive the coal mining industry there. He said his proposal also would: -Substantially reduce, i f not eliminate, Bonneville's revenue deficiencies and al leviate the need for a rate Increase. -Increase by 180.000 kilo watts the supply of low cost prime power in the North west. -Alleviate smog conditions in California. -Assure low cost power for California's water program since another consulting firm recommended postponing con struction of Oroville Dam with the $1.75 billion bond issue on the November elec tion ballot in California. He said the ont million State to Wind Up Case Against Finch and Carole Los Angeles - tTT - The state was expected to wind up its case today against Dr. R. Bernard Finch and his sweet heart Carole Tregoff, eight weeks and three days after the murder retrial of the cou ple started. The defense then will open its case with the wealthy sur geon set to testify in his own behalf by Monday in an effort to dash state charges that he and Carole killed hii wife. Finch, 43, and Carole, 23, his former receptionist, face possible death sentences if convicted. Chief prosecutor Clifford Crail said he would request that the jury order both defendants executed. The second trial of Finch and Carole on charges of mur dering Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch, 33, on July 18, 1959, began June 27. The defense was expected to take at least a month in presenting its case. Cliburn Donates Money To Church Moscow (UPD Pianist Van Cliburn has donated 80,000 rubles (nominally worth $8,000) to the Baptist church which is Moscow's only Prot estant place of worship, it was reported today. The spokesman for the young Texan said Cliburn gave the money to the min ister during the Sunday morn ing service. It was understood that the money is intended as a memorial to the pianist's grandfather. The minister said later that "we are investing this heaven sent gift in a much needed renovation." Cliburn has spent the past three months in Russia, com bining a vacation with a con cert tour. Counterfeiter Passes $1,300 Seattle (UPD A counterfeit bill passer, who managed to dump $1,300 in bad money in two western Washington cities during the past weekend, ap parently laid low Tuesday. Police said a neatly-dressed man about six-foot tall ex changed three $100 Canadian bills at Rhodes department store here Saturday. There were reports from Bcllingham Monday that $1,000 in Canadian $100 bills had been exchanged Friday afternoon in seven stores there. Funeral Services Held For West Portland - IUPD - Funeral services were held today for former Gov. Oswald West, one of the most colorful chief executives Oregon ever had. An honor guard of Oregon National Guardsmen, includ ing Air National Guardsmen, was present at the services here, after which the body was taken to Salem for pri vate interment. Acting Gov. Walter J. Pear son ordered the governor's office in Salem closed during the hours of the funeral and the interment. Ex-Gov. West died Monday. Prison Escapee Caught After Chase Boise - (UPB - Earnest J. McKibben, 21, a trusty who escaped from the minimum security section of Washing ton State Penitentiary at Walla Walla Sunday, was ap prehended early today after a high speed chase across the Boise bench. Ada County Deputy Sheriff Gilbert began chasing McKib ben when he noticed the li cense plates of the car the fugitive was driving were those of a vehicle reported stolen earlier at Weiser. kilowatts of low cost power which could be furnished by Bonneville Power Adminis tration would be equal to the power output of two Oroville dams. A great big darned thing Men's clothing "le BARKER'S Main-Central The first trial of the couple lasted three months, four days and ended March 12 when jurors were unable to agree on a verdict. However,- an informal poll of the original jurors indi cated a majority favored con viction of Finch and acquittal of Carole. Fireworks between the re trial judge and defense at torneys broke out again Tues day during cross-examination of Las Vegas Sheriff's Lt. Ray Gubser. Giggles from specta tor' during the exchange judge to clear the courtroom. ... .. ..a u. 3 attorney, Donald Bringgold, that Carole was arrested at her Las Vegas apartment the day after Mrs. Finch's death and questioned for nine hours without being booked on a charge. "Is this standard proce dure?" asked Bringgold. Crail objected to the ques tion and superior court judge Leroy Dawson sustained the objection by noting, "there is no standard procedure in a case of this kind." Grant Cooper, the attorney for Finch who already has accused Dawson of judicial misconduct four times during the retrial, then rose and said, "Your honor, I ask that those comments be stricken from the record." "Motion denied," said Daw son. 'I ask your honor to in struct the jury to disregard those remarks, Cooper then said. That will not be done," snapped Dawson. Several spectators giggled at this point and Dawson warned sternly: "Anyone who finds any thing funny here will be re moved. This is not an enter tainment being provided for spectators." The state claims Finch and Carole killed Mrs. Finch be cause she sought all of the surgeon's $750,000 fortune in a divorce suit filed shortly before her death. Plan For Parole Of Juveniles Set Salem - (UPD - A plan has been worked out which will allow McLaren School for Boys and Hillcrest School for Girls to continue control and supervise children who are put on parole. Announcement of the sys tem was made by the state Board of Control and Oregon Juvenile Judges association today. The plan will solve a prob lem created last week by an attorney general's ruling that under the new state juvenile code a boy or girl placed on parole came under the super vision and control of the juve nile court that has made the commitment. Previously the institution to which the child was sent had been in charge when a parole is issued. Under the plan announced today, when a child is ready for parole the judge of the juvenile court involved will assign his supervision to the institution where he has been staying.
