Testimony May Be Salty When Trial Es Resumed BOSTON (AP) Testimony is likely to have a salty flavor when trial of radio operator Willem Van Rie, charged with shipboard mur der of a winsome passenger, re sumes Monday. Asst. Disl. Ally. John F. Mc- Auliffc says he plans to call as witnesses some of the officers of the Dutch freighter Utrecht, where Lynn Kuuflman allegedly was slain, plus a harbor pilot and the skipper of a tug. The pilot is Capt. Khcldon Col lins, who guided Utrecht out the harbor the night of Sept. in when she left for New York on the last leg of a round-the-world voyage. The tow boat master is Capt. Frank Sullivan, who started Utrecht on her way by moving her out from Commonwealth Pier, where she had been tied up most of the day after arrival from Sing apore and other Far Eastern ports. McAullffe has told an all-male jury it will be shown the person able wireless man not only en Workers At Space Stations Will Have To Love Chums WASHINGTON tNEA) People who man the first space stations will have to be experts In together ness. The success of interplanetary missions and possibly survival will depend on it. This is the expert opinion of Jiri Nelincvajsa, Columbia University sociologist and member of the American Rocket Society. Studying tile necessity of loving thy neighbor while in orbit has become one of his specialties. He explains that many scientists have overlooked the importance of sociology that's the study of how people react to other people in plans for space travel. But within this field, he says, lie some of the space ago's most compli cated headaches. These problems won't bother the Project Mercury astronauts since ach one will be spinning around the earth by himself. It's when two or more humans leave the atmosphere together for a long hue that Dr. Nelincvajsa foresees trouble. He explains: "They will have to adjust not only to the conditions of space but to each other. Little things like a persons liaractenslic movements even the pitch of his voice could eventually get on somebody's nerves. Over a long period of time Driver Passes Drunk Test; Cop Chagrined SALT LAKE CITY. Utah (APi Police officer Billy Ford halted driver for running a stop sign. Th( odor of alcohol in the car was unmistakable. 1 Ford decided to moke a test. The driver easily walked a straight line. He found it a cinch to close his eyes and touch his nose with the index finger of the right hand. The exasperated officer threw a coin to the ground and ordered: Stand on one leg and pick that up. " Heck, I can do that with my eeth," said the driver. He dropped to the ground, did wo snappy pushups with one arm. snatched the coin with his teeth and handed it to the otficer. I'ord wrote out a ticket for run ning a stop sign and turned him loose. , JUST DKMAN1) POMONA, Calif. tUPD-L. J.

I gaged in a torrid romance with Lynn but with two other women before he beat the victim and threw her into Boston harbor to drown not long after the ship de parted. Utrecht was 44 days reaching Boston from Singapore and, ac- coiding to McAuliffe, Van Rie's romance with Lynn began nine days later, on the day the freight er reached Colombo, Ceylon. McAuliffe has promised to show "our handsome defendant" posed as a bachelor while wooing Lynn, a petite divorcee. Actually, he was married and his dark eyed wife, Nella, 31, has been art attentive spectator at the proceedings. Prominently displayed in the courtroom are diagrams showing construction of the ship and clear ly indicating the proximity of Lynn's cabin to that of the wire less man. McAuliffe told the jury identi ties of the other women involved in Van Rie's dalliance will be furnished, together with dates. they could become unbearable, The danger of quirks becoming, crises is only one reason for the importance of celestial together ness. Even if no one Has any irritating habits, chances of social tension infecting the whole crew- are plentiful. One problem, Dr. Nehnevajsa predicts, will arise from the space station s social class structure. On hoard will be physicists, chemists and astronomers the guys who'll get all the glory. The rest of the crew will do supply and mainte nance chores. Within time the scientists might start looking down their noses at the caretaker group. This could lead to jealousy and hard feelings. Dr. Nelincvajsa believes one so lution would be to have them all live together. This would prevent snobbery and inferiority complex es from starting. Another solution would be to train each crew member to per ioral more than one duty so he could rotate jobs. Thus, a man who started out in the suppjy room would have the satisfaction of knowing that eventually he could measure gamma rays. One major drawback to this is hat the physicist, in turn, might become disgruntled when he was relieved of his first love and had to inventory the canned goods. Another problem it would pose is that no one would be indispens- lblc. This could lead to deep feel ugs of insecurity, Dr. Nehnevajsa says. For example, a communications expert might worry: If 1 don't measure up they'll lake me off the radio and send me to the supply room. I'll never t to work the radio again. Sooner or later they'll fire me back to earth." Thus, he might get the jitters and flub his job. And goofing up n outer space could have dis astrous results for evcrvbodv. Another headache in manning space stations will be "Who's going to be boss?" Dr. Nehnevajsa ex plains that scientists arc usually a pretty independent group. They feel they can t do good work when under rigid authority. Yet, survi- al on a space station will call (or some sort of government. Dr. Nehnevajsa believes finding a man who can give orders and still preserve togetherness poses qu le a problem. Sociologists and psychol ogists have started devising tests ti use in picking the right men lor space station duty. The tests measure how much sympathy you have for your fellow man. One togetherness experiment will soon begin at the Aerospace Med ical Center in San Antonio. Texas. Two men will be sealed Inside a space cabin fur a month. Doctors will study their reactions via a closed circuit television hookup. 5T1 Captain, 2 Crew Members Lowered Anchor Into Sea SAN FRANCISCO IUPD The captain of the Angelo Petri has revealed that he and two other men lowered the anchor" them selve,s after their ship was nearly crippled by a huge wave Tuesday Captain Edward Lehn Friday testified before a Coast Guard hearing into the case that the crew did not respond to an order to lower the anchor. Navy Loses Big Blimp; Crewmen Safe SOUTH WEYMOUTH, Mass. UPIl The world's largest blimp a Navy ZPG3W, was ruined Satur day when its huge bag was split as it was being towed into a hangar by a tractor at South Weymouth Naval Air Station. None of the normal 21 crewmen was in the gondola of the blimp which crashed against the steel doors of the hangar causing a tear in the envelope. The Navy said the 450 foot blimp crashed into the doors after the steel cable of the tractor snapped when a sudden gust of wind overturned the tractor. The unidentified tractor driver was unhurt. The blimp's bag collapsed and there was no fire nor explosion The Navy said the gondola was not damaged in the accident, shortly before 7 a.m. p.s.t. A similar blimp, the ZPG2 completed a 6,200 mile trip with in the Arctic Circle 18 months ago. The ZPG2, dubbed a "flying research platform," traveled far ther north than any other lighter than air craft had ever flown be fore, mooring at a floating ice- island weather station some 500 miles south of the North Pole. Purpose of the 1958 trip was to tost the feasibility of using lighter than air craft as "platforms for arctic research and development." The flight was termed an un qualified success" at the time.

(AP) -Motorists traveling U. S. 41 from Chicago to Miami no longer will pull up short after seeing this sign at nearby Croflon: "Warning. Speed trap operated by local parasites." Motel owner Joe Noffsinger, 41, who erected two such signs, agreed Friday to take them down alter the prosecution agreed to drop criminal libel charges against him. "The situation has been reme died," Noffsinger laid. in rTT I -TT He did not accuse the crew of laxity, however. "There was vio lent pitching and the waves were breaking over the forecastle There was a question for a few minutes if any seaman could go tip there." "When I ordered the anchor dropped no one showed up," Lehn said. "So the chief mate and the bo'sun and 1 went up to the fore castle and did it." Later he told the hearing that "there was no panic whatsoever" among the crew after the 21,800- ton ship, largest wine tanker in the world, was rendered helpless off the Golden Gate before tugs finally brought it to safety. The hearing resumes Monday morning. Meanwhile, with the approval of her owners, United Vintners, ma rine architects were drawing up recommendations for more ade quate shielding of the engine room ventilators from the stormy season. It was through the tanker's 40 foot ventilator stacks that a mam moth wave entered the engine room. The cascading water puured onto the electrical control panel of the ship, shorted it, and caused a total power loss. The disabled tanker rolled and pitched at the mercy of the waves and was probably saved by the anchor dropped by the captain and his two crewmen. Damage to the ship was worse than expected, according to Louis Petri. . president of United Vintners. He said that the entire rudder is torn away and the stern badly damaged. Petri estimated it would be four weeks before damage could be fixed compared to the original two week estimate. The two million gallons of wine carried in large tanks aboard the vessel were not contaminated by sea water, chemical tests by the California Bureau of Food and Drug Bureau showed. Decisions Face Carole. Attorneys LOS ANGELES (AP) - Carole Tregoff and her attorneys must make a crucial decision. Shall the pretty co-defendant tes tify in the Finch murder trial? Can the defense afford not to put Carole on the stand? Carole, 23, and her lover, Dr. R. Bernard Finch, 42, a socialite surgeon, are accused of murder and conspiracy in the July 18 shooting of Finch's wife, Barbara Jean, 36. The defendants and Carole's lawyers met Friday while the sensational trial was in recess The lawyers were asked if Carole would testify. 'We don't know yet," replied Don Bringgold, one of Carole's three attorneys. "We'll probably know for sure on Monday." The trial resumes then. The prosecution claims the lov crs killed Mrs. Finch so they wouldn't have to share the doc tor's wealth with her in a costly divorce settlement. The defense contends Dr. Finch accidentally shot his wife in a scuffle after Mrs. Finch drew a gun and pointed it at him and Carole. The death weapon has not been found. Carole is the only one who' could support the surgeon's story told in eight days of nerve-wracking testimony that they went to his wife to talk her into a quick Nev ada divorce. . The state charges Finch and Carole planned to kill Mrs. Finch and that Carole helped him, by bringing to the Finch home an attache case it calls a "do-it- yourself murder kit." Finch is a seasoned courtroom witness, having testified as a med ical expert in many cases. Carole is "innocent of legal affairs," her attorneys say. Robert A. Neeb Jr., Carole's chief attorney, refused to say what was discussed behind closed doors. First Carole and Dr. Finch con ferred with her attorneys in the courtroom. Then Finch left them alone and they continued the dis cussion while he waited in an ante room.

The explosion of a French atom ic device early Saturday in the Sa hara had been anticipated by Allied officials for many months. The problems it seems certain to raise have been foreseen. But it appears that President Charles de Gaulle's desire for U.S. assistance in making France an advanced nuclear power, with sophisticated weapons in its ar senal, will now be reinforced in French government and popular opinion. The French are in position to argue that they must be consid ered in some degree at least as qualified as Britain to receive U.S. assistance in the nuclear field. The difficulty in American ac ceptance of this point of view, however, lies not so much in the still limited nature of France's Hotel Razed In Blaze KANSAS CITY (AP) - An ex plosion in a business building triggered a fire that destroyed one hotel and threatened two others P'riday night, driving dozens of guests outside in 17-degree wea ther. There were no known fatalities Police and firemen who searched the doomed building said nobody was trapped. But the manager said all records were lost and he could not be sure everybody es capea. He said 6a to 70 persons were registered. Two guests, a 52-year-old wo man and a young man, were over come by smoke and required treatment. Others many in night clothes were rescued by firemen who brought them down aerial lad ders or led them out through smoke-filled halls. Five policemen were almost trapped on the third floor. Flames swept the stairway as they dashed to the- ground floor. The hotel destroyed was the six story, 110-room New Victoria, built 68 years ago. Flames also licked at the nearby Pickwick and Fred ric hotels. The 109-room Fredric was evacuated after embers land ed on window sills. The explosion that started the fire blew out the rear wall of a three-story building, and a collap sing side wall wrecked an adjoin ing shop. Firemen said they be lieved chemicals were stored in the building. Tony Rcynoldo, 28, who was playing pool in a cocktail lounge of the Victoria, said the explosion "was so loud that we thought someone had bombed the hotel." Expected Home Mrs. Ed Isensee, who underwent major surgery last Tuesday at Klamath Valley Hospital, is ex pected to be released to return home today. She is recovering satisfactorily and her doctor will permit visitors at her home. 79 Washington Street. VALUER'S CAFE Across from S.P, Depot WILL BE CLOSED From February 14, 6:00 A.M.

There is known to be deep un willingness among congressional leaders to make any change in existing laws which heavily re strict the authority of President Eisenhower to transfer atomic know-how or component parts of atomic weapons to any country among the Allies other than Brit ain. Yet it has long been thought is . administration circles here that one of the deeply held hopes in Paris was that when the French finally succeeded in exploding a nuclear device the Washington at titude would change. This is in line with De Gaulle's broad foreign policy objective of attaining for France a "better placed" position within the West ern Alliance. He has sought, for example, an equal voice with the United States and Britain in laying out basic concepts of nuclear strat egy not only in the NATO area but elsewhere. He has maneuvered to gain a promise from Eisenhower that the United Slates would never use nuclear weapons anywhere without first consulting France. These issues have gone unre solved for more than a year. As far as well-informed Washington officials can foresee, they will con tinue without resolution for some time. Eisenhower administration lead ers were greatly cheered by De Gaulle's show of strength in the recent Algerian crisis. However, Americans see the relatively high degree of political stability which now exists in France as being based upon De Gaulle's prestige and capacity for decisive action. Whether this can be maintained beyond the years of his personal exercise of author ity is a matter of persistent con cern here which directly influenc es the attitude toward sharing at omic information or weapons with France.
