Wool Prices Appear Good TULELAKE The I960 price out look for wool is favorable. This is the information received 'from the U.S. Department of Agriculture by Tulelake Farm Adviser Ken Bag- hott of the University of California The interaction of supply and demand factors will help determine wool prices. Stocks of wool are re ported to be low. Mill use is ex pected to be steady to strong. Do mestic production is expected to in crease but slightly. World prices likely will stay at present levels or increase slightly. Grease wool prices received by ranchers in I960 probably will av erage above comparable 1959 fig ures, in most instances. Seasonal highs likely will develop during I he late spring and summer months. few lots high good and Hind 95-100 Corn Mai- May Jiy Sep Dec Oals Mar May Jiy Sep Rye Mar May Jiy Sep slaughter ewes 4.00-6.50; and choice feeder lambs 16.00-17.00.

She was asleep wiien all the voles were tallied and learned of the honor when her mother awakened her in time for her 7 o'clock class this morn ing. The tall, dark-haired KUHS sen ior was one of 10 girls competing for the title in the March of Dimes auction held in the showroom of Dugan and Mest garage. The girls presented each item to the auction eer and at the time a bid was made, a vote was cast for the girl of the bidder's choice. Barbara is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Olson, 1536 Eldo rado, and has been active in school affairs and youth groups since her (reshman year. Richard J. Smith, chairman for the 1960 New March of Dimes fund drive, said between eight and nine hundred dollars was raised by the auction, with all local radio and TV stations cooperating in the event. He said every piece of merchandise donated by Klamath Falls business houses had been sold by 10 o'clock. Belh Chase offered her services and was accepted to act as treasur er for the Klamath Falls Chapter of the March of Dimes. Other girls competing for the Miss March of Dimes title were Vivian Wilbanks, Ginger Learning, Jan Shephard, Pat Anderson, Eth el Florez, Sharon Kunz, Sharon Vinczc, Trudie Turpin and Carol Shannon. August 31. Martinez died from six .22 caliber shots from a semi automatic pistol fired into his heart, abdomen, and back. Foreman Norman Wilson, a Klamath Falls insurance agent, read the finding of a four-woman, eight-man jury that had heard one week and two days of trial and had deliberated four-and-one-half hours after receiving the case yesterday afternoon. Judge David R. Vandcnberg set no time for sentencing. The first degree verdict was the first returned here in several years, courthouse sources said. Lugo was represented by Attor neys Joseph O. Stearns of Port land and Glenn D. Ramirez of Klamath Falls, who contended Martinez was armed with a knife when he and Lugo left for a death walk down an alley behind Main Street. District Attorney Arthur Bcddoe maintained Martinez was mur dered in cold blood with a pistol Lugo had bought a few hours be fore Martinez was killed. The trial began slowly because two-and-one-half days were re quired to select 12 jurors and one alternate from 90 persons called for duty on one regular panel and three special venires. A total of 20 witnesses testified at the trial, 13 for the state and seven for the defense. Lugo was sentenced to a five- year penitentiary term in January 1956 after conviction for assault with a dangerous weapon. He was paroled last April. The trial attracted a sizable gal lery of spectators, but virtually no spectators remained when the jury returned its verdict. City May Assume Control m I I. U!L......

Prosecution and defense attor neys in the case of Dr. R. Ber nard Finch and his red-haired mis tress, Carole Tregoff, agreed to the postponement alter real es tate broker Floyd G. Jones be came ill wilh bronchitis. Attorneys said they did: not want, at this point in the trial. to dip into the four alternate jur ors. . Superior Judge Walter R. Ev ans, said Jones ooctor assurea the court that his patient should be well by Monday. Prosecutor Frederick N. Which- ello said he will call as a witness next Monday actor Mark Stevens. He did not say why. Stevens is a member of the Los Angeles Ten nis Club, in which both the Finch es were active. The last witness was a young school teacher, pretty Marca Hclf rich, 24. She said Barbara Jean Finch came to her "when she was afraid and needed a place to stay." The person Mrs.. Finch was afraid of, she testified, was her husband. The wealthy surgeon and Miss Tregoff are accused of coldly plot- ling Mrs. Finch's death, then slay ing her at the Finch estate in suburban West Covina last July 18. Mrs. , Helfrich told the jury Tuesday that Mrs. Finch stayed with her twice "because he (the doctor) had beaten her up." The slain woman's attorney tes tified earlier that twice in May and June Mrs. Finch told him she had been pistol-whipped by Finch and that he had threatened to kill her. Attorney Joseph T. Forno said an investigator in his office some times acted as Mrs. Finch's body guard. Mrs. Helfrich fled the court room, on the verge of tears, after photographers sought to takd her picture. Later she paused briefly to ex plain to newsmen that she met Mrs. Finch socially at a Palm Springs tennis club about a year oelore the killing. Dinner Dance To Aid Dimes Bob Wilson, dinner chairman, an. nounccs the third annual VFW New March of Dimes benefit di dance will be held at the VFW Hall Saturday, January 16. Buffet dinner, with a nrnmise nf "all you can eat," will begin at 6 p.m. and serving will continue until nine o'clock. Dancing to the music of a well known orchestra will follow until 1 a.m. Food is being donated hv Klam ath Falls merchants and wholesal ers and will be prepared by per sonnel from the Blue Ox. gon Avenue, and Biehn Street. Vergcer, with Assistant City En. gineer Cliff Sanders and two stats highway department representa. tives, discussed the change before the county court today. The route at one time was U.S. 97 through the city. Later the highi way was routed via Kit Carson Way, Esplanade, and Main Street, as it stands now. In the future' the West Side Bypass will be des ignated U.S. 97, and the present route will become Business U.S. 97. All this leaves the old route un necessary so far as the state 13 concerned, and the state wants to delete the route from its system. "This doesn't sound unreason able, in view of the bypass," Ver gecr said. County Commissioner Frank Ga. nong added, "There certainly is no reason to have it as a state high way, and if the city is willing to take it over, it would be a very good thing." Included in the city's action, should it come about, would be responsibility for maintaining about one quarter of a mile of Biehn Street between the city lim its and Kit Carson Way. Vergecr thought the city would add this section without objection. Representing the state at (he meeting were C. G. Swenson, en gineer, and R. H. Prange, field engineer, both with the County and City Relations Division of the State Highway Department in Salem.
