Recess Preliminary Hearing For Carole WEST COVINA. Calif. (UPD — The preliminary hearifig*of Carole Tregoff was to.be recessed today to give the judge time in determining whether she should be held as the accomplice of Dr. R. Bernard Finch in the slaying of his wife. Both the state and defense agreed tc t«e recess until Tuesday. Judge William M. Martin said he wanted to study carefully the transcript of the 22-year-oM Miss Tregoffs 2t4-day hearing. He will attempt to determine whether the state offered sufficient evidence that she took part in the murder plot allegedly hatched by Finch. 41, to avoid sharing an estimated $750,000 in community property with his wife, Barbara. 33. Mrgi* Finch was found shot to death last July 18 outside her home. Martin will hear final arguments Tuesday on whether Miss Tregoff’s testimony during Finch’s preliminary hearing should be admitted in evidence.

Miss Tregoff was arrested July

Mrs. Simpson was arrested on charges of reckless driving and failure to have an operator’s license. Police said two men riding with Mrs. Simpson left the scene of the accident but were arrested soon afterward. Attorney General Rules On Salaries INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers ruled, late Thursday that a 1959 act es- ‘ tablishing a minimum salary for' adutt probation officers applies only to chief probation officers and 1 not to their assistants. The opinion came in answer to a request from Paul L. Meyers, 1 chairman of the State Board of Correction. Steers said there was nothing in the new act to indicate it was the Legislature’s intent to amend or supplement the first part of a' 1951 law/covering probation off!-, cers, but rather was a supplement j to the second part of the law covering salaries of chief adult probation officers. The 1951 act set the maximum salary of the chief adult probation officer at not more than 50 per cent of the salary paid the circuit court judge in that county. ’Die assistant’s salary was set at 40 per i cent of the judge's pay. Steers said the 1959 act I**- 1 scribes the minimum salary *X)f adult probation officers and his office interprets that to mean the chief adult probation officer, not his assistant.

Camera-Carrying Missile Launched CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) — The Air Force launched another camera - carrying Thor ballistic missile today to obtain more filmed evidence of how the weapon's nose cone behaves during flight. The 16 mm movie camera peeked through a data capsule rigged to fall free of the nose cone near the end of a 1,500-mile hop. Ships and planes waited at the target area, near Antigue Island in the West Indies, to pluck the capsule and its valuable cargo from the ocean. In a wartime firing, a hydrogen warhead would occupy the space used by the camera and the capsule. The camera was the third sent up in a Thor nose cone. In previous camera flights on May 12 and July 24, film showing separation of the. cone from the body of the Thor was recovered. Ask For Probe On Missing Records WASHINGTON (UPI) - Teamster Union monitors have asked' a Federal Court for power to investigate the mysterious disappearance of union financial records. It was interpreted as the first move in a campaign by the “watchdog” group to force the Teamsters to comply with about 10 previous clean-up orders. The monitors also announced that Teamsters President James R. Hoffa’s home local in Detroit had shifted $525,000 from bank accounts which paid no interest to new, interest - bearing accounts. The monitors said Hoffa ordered the transfer at their request. The court - appointed monitors’ request for power to investigate the missing records contained implied criticism of Harold J. Gibbons, executive assistant to Hoffa. It said he was responsible for records of Local 245, Springfield, Mo., which allegedly vanished
