Charged With
Poisoning Son
Pearisburg, Va. - IUPD - A

the boy.
Teresa Ann, reported criti
cal after being admitted to

Everyone He's Still Boss
By TOM NELSON
United Press International
Washington - 1UP1I - Presi
dent Eisenhower may be in a
back seat in the political cam
paign but he doesn't want
folks to forget he'll remain
behind the wheel at the White
House until next Jan. 20.
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.

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."

"I loved him very much,"

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

no embarassment.

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

her so she wouldn't become
"mixed up" in a divorce ac
