Finch-Tregoff
Case Nears Jury
Los Angeles-(UPI)-The fate
of illicit lovers Dr. H. Ber
nard Finch and Carole Tre-
goff may be placed In the
hands of a predominantly
male jury this week.
Only final arguments and
the judge's Instructions re
main to be concluded in the
third trial before the nine
men and three women jurors
begin their life and death de
liberations on the couple ac-
cused of killing Finch's wife
for love and money.
The murder trial moved
Into its 11th week today with
Coprosecutor Joseph Powers
expected by late today to con
clude final arguments he be
gan last Friday.
The jurors will listen to ar
guments by attorneys for both
Finch, 43, and his red-haired
sweetheart, Carole, 24, and
Coprosecutor Clifford Crail
during the week. Superior
Judge David Coleman then
will give final instructions.
At the bar of justice in the
famous No. 1 court of the Old
Bailey three men and two
women were on trial in Brit
ain's most sensational spy case
since Klaus Fuchs was con
victed of giving atomic secrets
to the Communists in 1050.
All the defendants pleaded
Innocent, a jury of 12 men was
chosen with the traditional
speed of British justice and
the attorney general of the
realm, Sir Manningham-Bul-ler,
opened the case for the
crown.
He unfolded to the court a
cloak-and-dagger story of how
British counter espionage
agents followed a winding
trail through London's streets.
It brought them at last, he
said, to a cottage in the su
burb of Ruislip occupied by a
book seller named Peter John
Kroger and his wife, Helen.
This place, Sir Reginald told
the jury and Britain's lord
chief justice, Lord Parker,
who chose to preside over the
case, contained a powerful ra
dio transmitter hidden under
the kitchen floor.
Weave! Story Together
It wait suitable for trans-
milting direct to Moscow," he
said, and added that the cot
tage also seemed to be bank
Ing headquarters for the al
leged spy ring. In the some
what rundown cottage, guard
ed by double and triple locks,
Sir Reginald said British
agents found $0,000 in Ameri
can $20 bills, 2,563 American
$1 bills, $2,030 worth of
American travelers checks

Sir Reginald, a heavy set
man who bears a likeness to
the traditional figure of Joh
Bull, stood before the jury and
quietly wove together the fol
lowing story which the prose
cution hopes will prove that
the five defendants were
guilty of violating the British
Official becrets Act.
The mastermind of the ring
was Gordon Arnold Lonsdale,
37, a director of a lock com
pany. He holds a Canadian
passport, but the prosecution
will seek to prove he Is a Rus
slan and exchanged letters
with persons In the Soviet
Union.
Lonsdale gained the confi
dence of Miss Elizabeth Gee
and her fiance, Henry F
Houghton. Both of them are
employed at Britain's Port
land Naval Base and had ac
cess to documents which could
compromise the security of
Britain and the NATO alll
ance, particularly on matters
involving planning against
possible attack by Russia's
450-shlp fleet of submarines
Found Powerful Radio
Lonsdale took documents
handed to him by Miss Gee
and Houghton- to the Kroger
bungalow. When British
agents searched the premises,
they tore linoleum from the
kitchen floor, removed some
rubble, lifted a trap door and
there found a powerful radio
set, working on a high Ire
quency band and with
aerial In its lid.
Inside a cigarette, lighter
were found some radio call
signs. British agents tuned in
and received transmissions
from the vicinity of Moscow.
Sir Reginald pictured Lons
dale as a man who led a dou
ble life British businessman
and "Cmdr, Alex Johnson, as
sistant naval attache at the
American Embassy In Lon
don. He-said "Johnson" call
ed on Houghton last June
and said they had a mutual
friend in Poland.
"He was quite charming,"
according to an alleged state
ment Houghton made to po
lice. "He seemed to know na
val talk nnd I accepted him
for what he said he was.1
Two weeks later, according
to the statement, Houghton
Introduced "Johnson" to Miss
Gee.
The crown will attempt to
prove "Johnson" persuaded
Houghton to help him on the
grounds that American au
thorities wanted to know
whether any action was being
taken on information which
the British had supplied to
them. i

Da ms Focuses on
Fish Facilities
Portland - IUPI) - A Federal
Power Commission hearing on
rival applications lor dams on
the Snake river resumed here
today with attention focusing
on fish.
FPC Examiner William
Levy was conducting the
hearing, which might last sev
eral days.
Pacific Northwest Power
Co. seeks to build a 670-foot
high Mountain Sheep dam on
the Snake half a mile above
the mouth of the Salmon riv
er. The Washington Public
Power Supply System has ap
plied to build a 700-foot high
Nez Perce dam 2V4 miles bo
low the confluence of the
Salmon.
Both have proposed expen
sive fish facilities. Pacific
Northwest Power Co., coin
posed of four private firms,
estimates Mis fish facilities
would cost some $20 million,
including some $7 million for
a 17-mlle canal to the Imnaha
river.
WPPSS proposed fish facili
ties costing some $2B million
for Nei Perce dam which has
received opposition from fish
eries Interests because it
would block natural runs to
the Salmon. WPPSS is com
posed of 16 public utility dis
trict members in Washington.
Want To Be Heard
WPPSS said it could suc
cessfully get the salmon and
stcelhead past its proposed
dam.
Some 21 intcrvenors repre
senting Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and federal wildlife
agencies, sportsmen's organi
zations and commercial fisher
men have asked to be heard.
The elaborate fish facilities
Include plans for both getting

Oregon Delegation
To Air Boardman
Plans With Boeing
Salem -IUPII- An Oregon leg
islative delegation will meet
with Boeing Airplane Co. of
ficials In Seattle Wednesday
to seek first hand information
on the company's plans for de
veloping the Boardman Indus
trial park in northeastern
Oregon.
House Speaker Robert Dun
can and Senate President Har
ry Bolvin announced the
meeting. Duncan said he hop
ed Boeing officials would re
turn here to explain their
plans before the Joint Ways
and Means committee "so that
the entire legislature may
have the opportunity to simi
larly inform itself.
Gov. Mark Hatfield had no
comment on the, meeting.
Asked for Lease
Boeing has asked to nego
tiate an 80-year lease for the
100,000 acre site, and Hatfield
has asked the legislature for
$900,000 to cover possible
costs of completing the proj
ect.
Ways and Means committee
last week ordered a delay in
acting on the bill until more
information could be obtained.
Hatfield had urged speedy ap
proval. :
Some legislatures expressed
fears the company, which has
made no specific commit
ments might tie up the land at
$60,000 a year without devel
oping it. The sagebrush tract
with Columbia river frontage
is considered ideal for static
rocket and missile testing.
Delegates Named
For the House part of the
delegation, Duncan named
Ways and Means Co-Chairman
Clarence Barton (D-Coquille)
and Rep. Stafford Hansell (R-
Hermiston).
Bolvin tentatively named

Alfred Corbett (D-Portland)
and Sen. Melvin Goode (R-Al-
bany).
Bolvin said if his schedule
permitted he might go himself.
