Bonsal by audiences in motion

Mr.. Selden, in an interview

have occurred in Cuba, particu-
larly during the past four or
five months"
They are clear proof that
there is no hope whatever that
the Castro government will
give Cuba a democratic govern
ment," he said. Castro and his
followers seem bent only on in
creasing their dictatorship.
THE only thing in the world
the United States can do in
such a situation is to take a

To Give Plant
Small Jobs
BY JOHN A. GILES
Star Stan Writer

The Nations space agency
has promised to give the Naval
Weapons Plant extra work.
Representative Lankford,
Democrat of Maryland, made
this statement late yesterday
after an hour-long conference
with DR.. T. Keith Glennan,
administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration. and members of
his staff.
However, he said, the work
to be sent to the plant-which
already performs some tasks
in this field-would replace
"only in a small way" work
which has been taken away
from it by the Navy.
Mr.. Lankford said the pur-
pose Of his meeting was to
acquaint DR.. Glennan with the
capabilities of the plant, which
employs nearly 5000 persons,
of whom upwards Of 1000 are
expected to be laid of because
Of lack of work.
"Dr. Glennan stated that
within the limitations of the
administrations policy, which
is to give as much Government
work as possible to private
industry, and within the limi-
tations of the capabilities of
the plant, NASA would chan
mel work to the plant in rela-
lively small amounts" Mr..
Landlord added.
The plant now is performing
limited service for the space
agency on precision machines,
metal finishing and fabrication.
A spokesman for NASA said
that the agency expects to
keep on putting contracts
there" but that they would not
be very large.
Others who attended the con-
ferenceS included Julian S.
Kobler and Andrew Vislosky,
who are workers at the plant.
The 150-year-old installation
occupies about Is square city
blocks comprising some 125
acres of land and 1870 buildings
almost in the center Of WASH
ington.

That led to a meeting in a res

The talk was general, Mr..

given to asserting himself as

this seemed to be his claim to

"She asked if he was a mur-
dered or a thief. He made

AmityForecast

Maj. Gen. William E. Potter,
Governor Of the Canal Zone,
expressed the conviction today
that the United States and the
Republic of Panama can arrive
at a proper solution to the
problems which have strained
their diplomatic relations.
The Governor made the re-
mark to reporters after testify
ing at an executive session of
the House Inter- american At
fairs subcommittee He did not
disclose what he told the COM
mittee.
Puts Blame on Reds
During an interview, how
ever, Gen. Potter made it clear
that he believes Communist ele-
ments have had a free hand in
a number of incidents designed
to embarraSs the United States.
They include an unsuccessful
invasion of Panama by band
OF Cubans last year and anti
United States demonstrations
two months ago.
Panama is demanding that
its flag be flown in the Canal
Zone as a symbol of its SOW
ereignty.
Many members of Congress
object to this request and the
House subcommittee is con-
Quoting hearings on the ques-
ton. Subcommittee Chairman
Selden asked the State De-
partment to withhold a deci-
sion until his group completes
its study.
"Perpetuity" Granted
Under terms of treaties
signed in 1903, 1886 and 1855.
Cuba granted the United States
the right to occupy and use
in perpetuity" that strip of
land known as the Canal Zone.
This is binding unless the
United States abandons opera
tion of the canal.
Mr.. Selden has introduced
a resolution expressing the
sense Of Congress that any
variation in the traditional in
depreciation of the three
treaties. with special reference
to matters involving provisions
concerning territorial sover-
eighty, shall only be made
pursuant to treaty"

21-year-old Williams, the pro-
secution opened it's attempt to
tie DR.. R. Bernard Finch's red
haired mistress into an alleged
plot to kill DR.. Finch's estranged
wife.
Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch,
36, was shot to death last July
18 outside their fashionable
home in suburban West Covina.
The wealthy surgeon, AZ, and
Miss Tregoff. %, who was once
his receptionist, are accused of
numbering her to clear the way
for their own marriage without
having to give her a share of
the Finch estate.
Death Deal Claimed
Miss Tregoff's attorneys lost
a spirited fight to prevent testi-
mony-given the county grand
jury earlier-about an asserted
deal to kill Mrs. Finch for

In other developments:
Three apartment house man.
ayers said DR.. Finch and Miss
Tregoff shared apartments
two in suburban Monterey Park
and one in Las Vegas.
Mark Stevens, televiSion de-
tective. was quoted as saying
he had offered Mrs. Finch a
revolver shortly before her
death. He told the Mirror
News:
Il was so shocked at what
she told me about her hus-
bands attacks that I felt she
should have some protection.
When she refused to take the
gun. I got a jackhandle out of
the car and made her take it. I
