during the first four days of the trial. Although the 11 were given a tentative okay, they could be knocked out by challenges from either side. Men and women summoned by the court disqualified themselves front deciding the case largely by their answers to two questions: —Had they already decided the guilt of Mrs. Nicholas, 44, a twotime divorcee? —Would, they be willing to pass a death sentence if they found her guilty? Conviction of first degree murder for Mrs. Nicholas would mean either electrocution or life imprisonment for the divorcee, who had tried unsuccessfully to take her own life after Teel was found shot to death ip his white Cadillac last July 31. Teel, a- drug firm vice-president, strayed his attqntons from Mrs. Nicholas after an alleged 15-year romance. He was found shot to death outside the apartment of his new' and younger girl friend, Laura Mowrer. “I have waited so long for the 4fiai to begin. ’ ’ uMrfc_ Nichol as said. “Now I wish we could get it going.” Trouserectomy WEST HARTFORD.

Would Extend Conservation Reserve Plan WASHINGTON (UPD-The Agriculture Department is preparing to submit to Congress shortly after the Easter vacation a proposal to extend the conservation reserve portion of the soil bank through 1963.

Dirksen (BL) predicted a presidential veto if anywhere that much was approvedThe House Appropriations topimittee, meeting behind closed doors, was expected to slash more than 18 million dollars from 1 Eisenhower’s request tor S49HQO,000 for the Interior Department and related agencies.
