This theme is implicit in remarks the President has dropped here and there in recent weeks, as Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F, Kennedy have entered the opening stages of their contest for Eisenhower's job. Take Eisenhower's off-the-cuff speech a month ago at a breakfast meeting during the Republican national conven tion in Chicago. He was welcomed as the party hero he is. But he was treated almost as an elder statesman, the big talk in Chicago was the platform pact negotiated by Nixon and New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. Gently but firmly, Eisen hower reminded his audience that the party has a third fac tor to consider in trying to chart its future, namely, Dwight D. Eisenhower him self. As he put it, this made for sort of a "three-cornered" GOP. Puts Oar In "You cannot obviously put out a platform that tells ex actly what Republicans are going to do In the future un- Hearing Starts On Ship, Ferry Crash New York - (UPn - A Coast Guard hearing was scheduled today into a collision between a coastal freighter and a ferry boat on the fog-shrouded Hud son river. One woman was hospital ized and 12 other persons shaken up Monday when the 503-foot freighter and the fer ry collided just off the New York City pier of the Lacka wanna railroad ferry. The fer ry was en route from Hobo ken, N.J., about a mile across the river, at the time of the accident. About 200 passengers were aboard when the freighter ripped a jagged 60-foot hole in the ferry's upper deck to a point two feet below the wa ter line. The gash was 30 feet across at its widest point. Fire Destroys In NW Oregon Town Mist, Ore.-IPB -Fire early today destroyed the Bracy Neil" sawmill at this north western Oregon community.

Portland Chamber To Support Measure Portland-HlPC-The Portland Chamber of Commerce an nounced today it would sup port a ballot measure this No vember which would author ize $39 million for slate col lege facilities. The chamber pointed to a "zooming" college student population, especially at the University of Oregon, as com plicating an already tight housing situation. The meas ure. Proposition 6, would en able the state board of high er education to utilize the credit of the state to issue bonds, which would pay for themselves without cost to the taxpayer, the chamber said. from the four corners of the world. With formal opening cere monies and the election of of ficers behind them, the dele gates turned their attention to the technical aspects of the innocence of Miss Carole Tregoff." Courtroom observers had expected Finch, 43, to be the first defense witness. Denies Death Plot Giving her answers in a polite "yes, sir, no, sir," fash ion, the mistress of the hand some physician denied she had entered any plot to take the life of Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch. She told how she was employed by Finch as a med ical secretary. til there is some effort to make sure that that is exactly what I am going to do," he said. The President has held three news conferences since he returned here from New port, R. I., and each time he has emphasized a variation of this theme that he is still someone to be reckoned with. He was asked Aug. 10 whe ther he would spend more time cooking up legislative strategy with Nixon, now that the vice president was run ning for his job. Eisenhower said he couldn't see how Nix on could be drawn any more closely than he is into t h e "consultative process," add ing: His Responsibility "This is my responsibility and will be until noon Janu ary 20th and as long as any question is put up before me involving what I believe is for the good of the country, I'm going to dee'de it accord ing to my judgment." One week later Eisenhow er called himself somewhat wistfully "just a spectator in a way" in the Nixon-Kennedy presidential campaign. But he said he wanted to get this straight: "I necessarily remain as President of the United States, and I am responsible for every decision taken up, as I say, until January 20, on the actions of this govern ment." And last week the Presi dent seemed a bit piqued when a reporter asked him to cite some of the big deci sions which Nixon has par ticipated in since their ad ministration took office. Ei senhower said he's got all sorts of advisers, including Nixon, but "no one partici pates in the decisions." "No one can make a deci sion except me, if it is in the national executive area," he said. A newsman later inquired whether the President could give an example of a major idea of Nixon's that Eisenhow er had adopted, in his role as "The Decider." The Presi dent then delivered himself of an answer which still has many people in the capital wondering. "If you give me a week." he said, "I might think of one."

They Rented Apartment Miss Tregoff went on to re late how she and Finch rented an apartment in Monterey Park so that their being to gether would cause Mrs. Finch no embarassment. Grant Cooper. Finch's at torney had told the court earlier that Finch and his wife had a marital armistice in which each could date as they chose. When court adjourned for the day, Miss Tregoff was ex plaining her contact with John Patrick Cody in Las Vegas, where Finch had sent her so she wouldn't become "mixed up" in a divorce ac tion filed by his wife. She testified she agreed to pay Cody $1,350 if the ex-convict would follow Mrs. Finch and get evidence against her to balance what the socialite already had against Finch and Carole I c rlfxPp.
