Nixon Steps Out of Politics in California; Implications of Move to New York Studied Unild Prtss International Richard M. Nixon, who al most became president ol tne United States in I960 and later was defeated for gover nor of California, stepped out of California politics, possibly for good. Nixon, in a terse announce ment in New York, said he was moving from Los Angeles to New York to accept a posi tion with a legal firm. The political significance of the move was still being stud led, but it appeared at least on the surface a step away from public life for the for mer Vice President under President Dwight D. Eisen hower. Yielding the Leadership One thing appeared certain: Nixon was yielding the leader ship of the California delega tion to the 1961 Republican national convention which will answer one of the most intriguing questions in poli tics: Who will re the 1964 GOP presidential nominee? Despite his telling defeat by Gov. Edmund G. Brown last year, Nixon had not been left out as a possible "Kingmaker" as leader of the huge Cali fornia delegation. But California Republicans, and others, were not leaving out the possibility that Nixon ' will participate In national politics, not as a candidate, but from behind the scenes. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Execution: U. S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas granted 1 stay of ex ecution only a few hours be fore three convicted murder erg were to die in the San Quentin gas chamber. A fourth condemned man, sched uled to die in the first quad ruple execution in the pris on's history, was granted a limited communtation of his death sentence to life impris onment without possibility of parole. Brown said "further psy chiatric study" was needed in the case of Charles J. Colston, 22, convicted of the rape-slaying of a 79-year-old Los An geles woman. Justice Doug las said the stays of execution tor Joseph Rosoto, 39, John F. Vlahovich, 31, and Donald G. Franklin, 34, condemned for the gang-slaying of an An aheim tavern owner, would be in effect until the high court decided two other cases it had under submission. ' Exlermeislt: Senate Repub lican whip Thomas H. Kuchel teed-off in a Senate speech on "fright peddlers" of the John Birch Society and similar groups he said were defiling - the philosophy of conserva tism. He urged that "cruelly swindled Americans" be per suaded to "rejoin the ranks again of sensible and decent anti-communist,, pro Ameri cans. He said 10 per cent of the 60,000 letters he receives each month "fall into the cate gory of fright mail." Trieste: Rough seas off the Massachusetts coast continued to hamper the search for the nuclear submarine Thresher, including a planned 600 foot test dive of the bathyscaph Trieste which was transported to the east coast from San Diego to help solve the sub's mysterious disappearance. The Thresher, with 129 men aboard, sank April 10, leaving only an oil slick and bits of flotsam as vague clues to what PAGES 1 to 8 Tribune caused one of the Navy's worst peacetime disasters. The Navy said the test dive of the Trieste, which is built to with stand pressure at the 8,400 foot level of the Atlantic, would be rescheduled as soon as possible.

At the same time, he sentenced Kroeger's wife, Iva (Grandma) Kroeger to the gas chamber for her part in the slaying of a Santa Rosa couple whose bodies were found buried in the basement of the Kroeger home. The killings were attributed lo a plot to take possession of the motel owned by the vic tims. Judge Harry Neubarlh said after reading, sentence that Kroeger was "one more of his wife's victims," calling her ''troublemaker all her life" who would kill again. She was the first woman ever sentenced to death in a San Francisco courtroom. Marine: Former Marine Capt. Arthur Jackson of San Jose was on his vacation. But the vacation wasn't being spent as originally planned- at a White House ceremony for the nation's Congressional Medal of Honor winners whose ranks Jackson joined in the Pacific Theatre in World War II. Jackson, who left the Ma rine Corps only recently, be came the center of a stir caused by a report he was dis charged for allegedly killing and burying a Cuban spy found on the Guantanamo Na val Base. Jackson has refused to comment. Where he was spending a vacation from his job as a San Jose postman, was unknown, but the phone of his home had been discon nected before he left. Flight) A 36-year-old Santa Monica housewife took 17 hours and 3 minutes to com plete the first leg of a flight which she hopes will make her the first woman to fly the Pacific alone. Mrs. Betty Mil ler touched down at Honolulu on a flight from Oakland. The end of the line will be Bris bane, Australia.
