Three Top Highway Employes Resign INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - The chief clerk of the Indiana Highwav Department’s audit division and two of his top aides resigned late Tuesday in protest to “discrimination in compensation of audit division workers. T. G. McCulloch, who has been chief clerk for the past five years, resigned effective Jan. 31 together with assistant chief clerk Olive! McConnell and salary payroll clerk Mary Ellen Holt. “The division of audit has not kept pace with other organizational elements of the department in regard to compensation." McCulloch charged in a letter to Peters, highway chairman. Peters confirmed that he had denied the requested pay increases but said, “I’ve got one choice and that’s to live within my budget.” McCulloch, a retired Army colonel from New Albany who took the position during the administration of ex-Gov. George N. Craig, said he was resigning to protest the lack of pay hikes for 36 of his employes. He charged that increases were approved for the 36 but they failed to receive any raises.

“The total amount of money involved ip these 36 recommendations amounts to less than S6OO a month,” McCulloch said. “Twentysix were for only $lO a month.” McCulloch said that from 1953 to 1959 the salary for chief clerk was raised 21 per cent, from $7,200 to $8,700, while other division heads received raises ranging up to 111 per cent.

Los Angeles Trial Recessed To Monday LOS ANGELES (UPD—Dr. R. Bernard Finch is expected to go on the witness stand following resumption of -his and Carole Tregoff’s murder trial Monday and tell for the first time about the slaying of his wife. The suave, 42-year-old surgeon has never publicly told his version of the July 18 meeting outside his $65,000 suburban home which ended with Barbara Jean Finch. 33, lying dead on the lawn with a bullet wound in her back. His attorney. Grant Cooper, has indicated Finch will say the shooting was accidental in a struggle for a gun which Mrs. Finch had in her car. Finch"s_co-defendant and admitted mistress, Carole Tregoff, 23. said she and Finch went to meet Mrs. Finch that fatal night to talk to her about her pending divorce suit. Miss Tregoff said she ran from the scene before the shooting. Cooper said that — barring a change in the states’ plans to complete its case by Tuesday—he will make his opening statement Tuesday afternoon and Finch will begin his testimony Wednesday. The case was recessed Tuesday until Monday when a juror and one of the prosecution’s few remaining witnesses, Municipal Judge Albert H. Miller, became il. Miller presided at the preliminary hearing of Finch. - Further possible delay of the trial may come about because of Caryl Chessman’s appeal to escape execution at San Quentin. Judge Walter Evans who is presiding at the Finch trial sat in the Chessman case when a transcript was made and may be subpenaed to appear in San Francisco at Chessman’s appeal.
