Ogle Trial Expected To Go to Jury Today SANTA ANA (OCNS) — The Joel Ogle trial was to go to the jury this afternoon after final arguments had been given by prosecutor Clarence Linn and Defense Attorney Joe Ball. Ogle, who is county counsel, has been on trial here since Monday in Superior Court on Grand Jury accusations of misconduct in office. The prosecution has sought to prove that Ogle has misadvised the Board of Supervisors in its negotiations with American Marine Exploration Co. for the production of oil from county tidelands. Prosecutor Clarence Linn questioned the integrity of Orange Orange County Board of Supervisors in February, 1956, when it approved the American Marine Exploration Co. tideland oil drilling contract. He made his assertions in his final arguments to the jury in the Joel Ogle case. Ogle is accused of misconduct in office. "The audacity and brazenness of that board! They set the contract hearing for Feb. 28 so that the whole world would know about it and then passed it 'in the dark of the moon' on Feb. 14. If that is the way that representative government works in this country, we have no right to criticize the governments of other countries," Linn said at one point. "Ogle can put over anything on those supervisors, except Warner, who could smell a rat," Linn asserted. "You've heard Supervisor Cy Featherly testify with his if's, when's, his maybe this and maybe that." Linn also said "that if Featherly had had a chance to do a favor for Ogle while Featherly was on the Anti-Tax Bloc Collapses In State Senate By JERRY REYNOLDS United Press International SACRAMENTO (UPI) — The anti-tax bloc in the Senate has collapsed under the foreward drive of Gov. Edmund G. Brown's 256-million-dollar year tax program. The dean of the Senate, James J. McBride (D-Ventura), today all but surrendered in his battle against taxes by admitting Brown had won away McBride's major supporters. A United Press International poll of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, long a stronghold against taxes, revealed that a majority of the 11-member committee now planned to vote for a cigarette tax of three cents a pack and an income tax boost in the higher income brackets. "Ogle can put over anything on those supervisors, except Warner, who could smell a rat," Linn said at one point. "You've heard Supervisor Cy Featherly testify with his if's, when's, his maybe this and maybe that." Linn also said "that if Featherly had had a chance to do a favor for Ogle while Featherly was on the witness stand here, he would have done it." Ogle testified most of yesterday morning, and again for a major part of the afternoon. He admitted having received a $1,200 wristwatch and an $870 rifle from Wesley West, president of American Marine. A dramatic moment came when Ogle took the wristwatch off his arm and passed it among the six women and six men on the jury. Each examined the watch closely, and several commented upon its unusually heavy weight. Inscribed on the face, in gold letters, is the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Earlier, West told the court that he had given about 60 of these watches to various persons he admired since 1956.

The strike was called last midnight, the deadline for reaching agreement in negotiations which had been in progress since March 3. Wages were not involved in the dispute. No further negotiations were immediately scheduled. L. S. Buckmaster, president of the United Rubber Workers Union, said the reason for the strike was to try to bring the contract coverage for rubber workers up to those of the automobile workers. The plants involved are at Los Angeles and Santa Ana, Calif.; Chicago; Detroit; Mishawaka, Indianaapolis and Was...ington, Ind.; Eau Claire, Wis.; Passalc and North Bergen, N.J.; Painesville, Philo; three in Naugatuck, Conn.; Calgary Falls, Mass.; Philadelphia. January Polling Recalled In January, McBride's poll of the same committee indicated that a majority of the members would vote against taxes. The cigarette and income tax measures now are before the Senate committee with Assembly approval. They have not yet been set for hearing. Told of the outcome of the poll, McBride shrugged and said, "I still plan to cast a protest vote against them. They can't swing me over." He said he still was working on a plan to offset at least part of the budget deficit with surplus funds and eliminate the need for at least part of the taxes. Sen. Nelson S. Dillworth (R-Hemet), chairman of the Revenue and Taxation Committee, remarked that he felt some members of the committee were put "under pressure" to vote in favor of the tax program. Dillworth Forecasts Passage Asked first of all for his impression of the committee's thinking on the bills, Dillworth said, "The committee will put them out." Reminded of the January poll, Dillworth said, "Some of the members have changed their minds since then. I think they were put under pressure. I think the vote on the water fund was an indication of that." The Senate Wednesday passed, 28-5, a bill which would earmark the 170-million - dollar investment fund for water development. It was considered a key step in the Brown tax program because it took away the major fund that McBride and others proposed to use to balance the budget. Weather Low clouds and local fog late evening through mid-morning hours but mostly sunny days otherwise today and Saturday. Little temperature changes. AMERICA'S SPACEMEN — for the house of being the first institutions at a press conference in Washington, D.C. The honoree Capt. Donald Slayton of Spain Atlas N Awaits By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)—Some all of the seven Americans chosen as the first U.S. astronaut will get a ride in the nose of Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile over the South Atlantic as part of their training. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NAS) said the flight over the missile range from Cape Canaveral, FL to Ascension Island would precede the launching of a manned satellite into orbit around the earth. To assure that every precaution is taken before the future space men even board an Atlas, amals first will be sent on the man-made ride. Monkeys, dogs, pigs are possible.

The reports said the Khampa tribesmen had ambushed Chinese units and inflicted heavy casualties, upon the Red troops, many of them described as young boys or fresh cadets just getting their training in Chinese military colleges. The situation has become so bad the Peiping regime admitted BB, Princess Margaret Compete in Auto Race LONDON (UPI) — Cars carrying Princess Margaret and Brigitte Bardot staged a neck-and-neck 80-mile an hour “race” through London’s western outskirts Thursday. The princess won. The incident happened just after the sexy French actress arrived at London Airport and was driving into London in a fast Humber. Brigitte’s car pulled up at a stoplight outside the airport. A big Rolls Royce drew abreast. “Eat is the princess. Eat is Margareet,” Brigitte cried as she recognized the royal occupant of the Rolls. The two big cars started off towards London together. For 10 miles along the Great West Road they nudged speeds of 80 miles an hour on the fast highway which has no speed limit. Margaret’s car drew ahead and rolled up a 50-yard lead. Then Brigitte’s chauffeur narrowed the gap. Just as they drew almost level, a traffic light turned yellow and Brigitte’s chauffeur screeched to a stop. Margaret’s Rolls was far enough ahead to get through it and away.

(UPI)—Women drivers won two first places and narrowly missed a third in the 23rd Mobilgas Economy Run which ended its 1,898-mile course here Thursday. But men proved they too have a light foot on the gas pedal and won four of the six class events: No sweepstakes award was given this year and winners were measured in miles per gallon rather than in ton miles per gallon as in past economy runs. The 1959 run, longest in the history of the event, started Sunday in Los Angeles. Entrants drove through desert sun, rain and mountain snow along the way. Much of the driving was at night.

(UPI) — The White House announced today that former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill will visit President Eisenhower for three days in May. The British leader has had a long-standing invitation to visit his old friend of World War II and was forced to cancel a trip to Washington last year because of illness. By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — The White House announced today that former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill will visit President Eisenhower for three days in May. The British leader has had a long-standing invitation to visit his old friend of World War II and was forced to cancel a trip to Washington last year because of illness. The President and Mrs. Eisenhower will have Churchill as their White House guest May 4-5-6, and on May 7 Sir Winston will move to the British Embassy for one night there before leaving Washington. News of the Churchill visit was announced at the vacation White House as the President prepared to give his blessing at a luncheon conference here to the selection of a new Republican national chairman, expected to be Sen. Thurston Morton of Kentucky. Because Churchill no longer occupies an official position in the British Empire, his visit to Washington will be of an informal nature, but the White House expected that the Eisenhowers would entertain for the former prime minister, now in his eighties. The President worked in his office briefly this morning, then played golf before the arrival of his Republican conference at the Augusta National Golf Club. Minimum Wage Law Headed For Senate Roadblock SACRAMENTO (UPI)—Gov. Edmund G. Brown's minimum wage bill heads toward a roadblock in the Senate. Although the measure already has been approved in the Assembly, at least four of the seven members of the Senate Labor Committee said they opposed a provision in the bill setting a 90-cent hourly wage for farm workers. Brown's bill must win approval of the Labor Committee if it is to stay alive. "A minimum wage would kill us in agriculture," said Sen Paul L. Byrne (R-Chico), whose Butte County district is studded with farms and ranches. "If the administration would agree to cut agriculture out of the bill entirely and exempt part-time workers like college students, it would be acceptable to me." Byrne added. "But our poultrymen already are being knocked out of business by competition from states like Georgia where labor is cheap." Williams Expresses Opposition Sen. J. Howard Williams (R-Porterrville), another representative of an agricultural district, predicted the administration "wont be able to stuff this down the Senate's throat." "I'll never vote for a minimum wage bill to put California in an unfair position in the market place," Williams said. More opposition from members of the Labor Committee came from Sen. John J. Hollister (D-Goleta). "Organized labor would take a one-cent minimum for agriculture right now just to get its foot in the door, and I'm not going to open that door," Hollister said. Sen. Richard Richards (D - Los Angeles) said the weapons and the other items from the Dargatz home. Only $1 was remitted today. but the effort has failed having spread from the of China itself to western reports reaching New Deloday. reports said the Khampa n had ambushed Chinese and inflicted heavy casualty in the Red troops, many described as young boys cadets just getting their in Chinese military collition. situation has become so Peiping regime admitted people that the anti-Commucing could not be crushed short period," the Nationalal News Agency reported Kong.

Richard Richards (D - Los Angeles), one of the governor's staunchest supporters in the Senate, said he would vote in committee in favor of the bill which sets a $1.25 minimum for industry and trade workers and the 90 cent figure for agriculture. Two other senators on the committee who usually vote with the administration refused to say what they would do. One of them, Sen. Alan Short (D-Stockton), did say: "My mail has been running overwhelmingly against including agriculture in the bill, but I've had lots of mail against other bills and voted for them."
