HoodIum Testifies Couple
Paid for Mrs. Finch's Death

LOS ANGELES, Jan. %
(AP).-The prosecution neared
the end of its case in the
Finch murder trial today after
testimony by a hoodlum that
he positively was hired to kill
Barbara Jean Finch, not to
Seduce her.
The State contends DR.. r.
Bernard Finch and his red
haired mistress, Carole Tregof,
paid Jack Cody to kill the
surgeons estranged wife-and
that finally they did the job
themselves.
The defense suggested yes
terday that Cody was ap-
preached to get divorce evil
dence against Mrs. Finch and
that Cody Dragged he would
get it If he had to sleep with
the doctors wife.
Cody, 20, bad check passer on
leave from the Minneapolis
workhouse heatedly denied this.
Il was hired to kill her,
that's ALL" said Cody, who
describes himself as a former
dance hall bouncer, butcher,
gambling hall shill and ladies
man.
Prosecution Case
Mrs. Finch, 36-year-old bru-
nette Socialite, was shot to
death July 18 outside the Finch
estate in suburban West Co
vina. The State contends the
doctor and his paramour killed
Mrs. Finch so she couldn't win
Q large divorce settlement.
The prosecution also tried to
show that DR.. Finch probably
forged his wife's name to a
$4,000 check two months before
her battered body. shot once in
the back, was found sprawled
on the lawn.
Dom E. Mire, q district at
Iorney's handwriting expert,
said the signature on the check
was copied or traced. Basing
his conclusion on a specimen
Of the doctors handwriting,
Mr.. Mire said DR.. Finch quite
probably was the one who
signed his wife's name.

The head of the United
States Information Agency
said today that in the eyes of
the world this country is "5 or
even 10 years behind the So
Wet Union in the space race" !"
George v. Allen told the
House Space Committee that
foreign people have generally
exaggerated the Russians space
lead" But, he asserted, the
world looks at both America
and the Soviet Union with new
eyes as a result of spectacular
Soviet space triumphs.
The Russian lead in space.
Mr.. Allen said, also has en-
gendered certain "cockiness"
in Soviet leaders themselves.
IF this neW-found Soviet
cockiness arrogance is not too
strong a word translates itself
into adventuresomeness in for
eign affairs, the world is in for
a good deal of trouble" Mr..
Allen said.
In answer to question by
Chairman Brooks at the close
of the morning session. Mr..
Allen said the United States
is in a race in space whether it
likes to think so or not.
Regardless Of what we want
to think. we are in a space
race with the Russians" he
said. Public opinion in the
United States as we'll as over
seas thinks SO. We are in this
race and l don't want us to
run second"

now, Mr.. Allen said, lis on

orbit around the earth) E"
American plans now appear to
be pegged to a 1862 date

planned orally to the Czech
Foreign Ministry on November
IL, but received no satisfaction.
A month later he delivered
formal note of complaint to
the Czech government.
This exhibit" the note de-
clared, contains a number of
items highly offensive to the
United States Government,
since they are false in content
and markedly anti-American
in character.
The exhibit, in the Klement
Gottwald Museum in Prague,
could not be displayed with
out the sanction of Czechoslo-
yak authorities" the note
observed.

Space Lag Reported
EXAGGERATED Abroad

Tracing the ebb and flow of
world opinion since Sputnik 1
was launched October 4, 1857,
Mr.. Allen said the Russians
initial accomplishment had "the
element of shock"
THE achievement of placing
in orbit the first earth satellite,
without great advanced fan
fare, increased the prestige of
the Soviet Union tremendously
and produced a corresponding
loss of United States prestige
due to the contrast. Mr.. Allen
said.
The Soyiets were greatly ex-
ceeding world expectation of
their scientific and technolog-
ical capacities; we, on the other
hand. were falling short Of
world expectation of US"
Between October, 1857, and
April, 1859, Mr.. Allen said, the
United States greatly regained
prestige But at the same time,
he pointed out, "the prestige
that panied Soviet
achievements also continued to
increase.
Mr.. Allen likened the balance
of world opinion over a period
Of several months to "a kind of
see-Saw, with first the United
States and then the Soviet
Union accomplishing some note
worthy activity"
Then came the two success
full Soviet moon shots, and the
American moon rocket failure
of last Thanksgiving.
"As a consequence Of these
events, the see-saw seems to
have tipped solidly in the So
Wet direction, in world opin-
ion," Mr.. Allen said. To-day,
although we continued to see
the hope expressed abroad that
the United States will catch
up, we also see growing doubt
that this is likely during the
next five or even 10 years."

old pre-World War II wounds
are still too deep.
| The "Rhee Line" restricting
Japanese fishermen from large
areas Of the Japanese Sea sur
rounding South Korea, for in
stance. was in part a reaction
to earlier Japanese lines. which
hemmed in Korean fishermen
when Japan was a strong naval
power.
Acting President Huh already
has dramatized his Rhee like
opposition to repatriation of
Korean residents of Japan to
Communist North Korea. He
calls it deportation" which it
probably is not.
Views Deeply Felt
! But the views he holds are
deeply felt by many Koreans
They believe it is a mockery to
say that the starvation level
Koreans in Japan are being
given a free choice of staying
in Japan or going to North Ko-
rea when they are interviewed
by the International Red Cross
teams.
The people do volunteer" !"
perhaps, the Koreans say but
their choice of North Korea is
made in ignorance of what life
is like behind the Iron Curtain
so 1t cannot be considered free
or enlightened.
Under eX-PreSident Syngman
Rhee. no'realistic alternative of
going to South Korea was Of
fered the Koreans in Japan.
This may change now. The old
Seoul government insisted that
Japan first settle such other
scores as restoration of art OBJ
jects and recompense for those
deported to Japan as forced
labor during the war
Since it is virtually impos-
Sible to know which Koreans
were forced to work in Japan
during the days Of World War
II. and how much they could
be compensated. this issue is
regarded by outside observers
as an artificial one.

tions with Japan and ex-
changes Of ideas. newsmen, and
persons are likely to come along

/ faster than removal Of some
of the knottier problems in
JapaneSe-South Korean re-
lations. such as fishing rights
and repatriation.
South Korea's continued
strong anti-Communist posi-
ton is taken for granted, per-
haps too much for granted in
the fluid political situation
that could develop here.
While the people of South
Korea learned in the 1950-'53
war to hate communism, they
still feel a close kinship to
their Korean relatives in the
North.
The most free-thinking ele-
ment in Korea today-the stu
dents who brought Mr.. Rhee
down in disgrace-is now talk
ing of cultural exchanges and
perhaps even some mutually
beneficial trade with Red North
Korea. The United States is
not likely to want this trend to
go too far too fast. But there
are strong business and eco
nomic reasons for some kind of
rapprochement.
Anti-Americanism History
Too much obvious intrusion
by the United States could
backflre. however. The Koreans
have a history of anti-Ameri-
canism, dating back to the earl,
days after World War II when
the Koreans wanted to run
their own government and the
United States insisted on keep
ing a military government
there as overseer. The fear
then was that Communists who
had already taken over the
North would expand their
sphere of influence.
When the military govern
ment was lifted, and later
when the United States came
so forcefully to South Korea's
aid in the Red invasion, this
.anti-Americanism gave way to
strong friendship.
People Friendly
The students and people Of
Korea are still extremely
friendly to Americans. They
went out of their way in the
April disturbances to protect
American property, although
many brand-new American
autos were smashed in the dem
onstrations. Furthermore, the
ROK Army and the American
Army have close ties.
But the Korean temperament
is subject to sudden and vio-
lent change. especially II it
gets the idea it is being pushed.
