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.

KU Senior
Wins Honor
Pretty Barbara Olson didn't
know until this morning that she
had been voted Miss March of
Dimes for Klamath Falls at last
night's auction. 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.

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.

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.
