Sharply Detailed Photo Made At 70,000 Ff. By U2 WASHINGTON (AP) A U2 plane such as was downed in the Soviet Union took from 70,000 feet the sharply detailed photograph of a U.S. naval air station displayed by President Eisenhower on television Wednesday night. The White House disclosed this today in ah incidental manner in the course of seeking to clear up what it called some apparent confusion about the photograph. Although the point was not mentioned at the White House, it appears to be a reasonable conclusion that hundreds of equally clear photographs of Soviet reas have been taken in the several years of U2 flights over the Soviet Union.

In hi.s report on (he summit conference collapse and the U2 spy plane episode. Eisenhower called at one point for an "open skies" aerial reconnaissance program under United Nations auspices. Illustrating the effectiveness of such reconnaissance. Eisenhower showed a photograph, take from 13 miles up. of the North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, Calif.

The White House said today the picture was taken from a T.I2 plane of the same type which fip- ured in the May 1 espionage incident over Soviet territory. The President told his audience Wednesday i "You may not he able to sec them on your television hut the white lines in the a Chinese Reds Pound Quemoy TAIPEI.

ing strips around the field are clearly discernible from 13 miles up. These lines are just six inches wide." Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerty said today that some who saw the picture, either on TV or reproduced in'newspa- pers, concluded that Eisenhower was talking about prominent diagonal white lines which cover much of the upper left hand quarter of the photograph. Those lines, said Hagerty, are of the air field and are much 'wider than six inches. He noted that Eisenhower spoke specifically of "parking strips around the field." The photograph shows several automobile parking lots bordering' the air field, and in the original I photograph the Sines to which the President alluded are clearly distinguishable.

Much of this detail almost cer- i a i was lost to TV viewers and in reproduction of the photograph for newspapers. 14 The Progress-Index, Petersburg-Colonial Heights, Murder Remains 'Up in Air' 'Sam Johnson 7 Proves Easier PORTLAND, Ore. 'AP) -Among Ihe 102 persons scheduled to become KS. in District Court today is Sotir Sto-1 a i from Yugoslavia, who announced he is changing his name to Sam Johnson. LOS ANGELES (AP)--A judge said he would call the Finch-Treg- off murder case today, but nobody the judge included appeared to know exactly what would happen after that.

The situation was left up in the air Wednesday after the California Supreme Court ruled that Carole Treloff is entitled to a hearing on her request for a new judge at her second murder trial. It was not clear whether the trial should proceed however, pending the Supreme Court hearing, scheduled for June 13. Superior Judge LeRoy Dawson, who was assigned the trial, said: "I'm going to call the case and see what kind of motions are presented." Miss Tregoff, 23, and her lover, 43-year-old Dr. R. Bernard Finch, are accused of murder in the shooting of the doctor's wife Barbara last July 18.

Miss Tregoff's attorneys have asked that Dawson be disqualified under a law permitting "each party in an action" one challenge of a judge. Finch's attorneys challenged one judge in the first trial, which ended with the jury dead- locke.

Navy Board Seeks Cause for Crash Of Carrier, Ship NORFOLK, Va.

(AP)--A Navy Hoard of Inquiry had before it today the question of why the mighty aircraft carrier Saratoga and a West German ore ship collided in clear weather off the Virginia "coast early Wednesday. There were no injuries or casualties among the 35-man crew of the merchantman, the Bernd Lronhardl, or the 2,400 men and JCO officers on the Saratoga. The left sides of both vessels were damaged extensively. The carrier, one of Ihe world's largest, was due to enter Ihe Norfolk Navy shipyard today for repairs which a survey team estimated would take two weeks. The survey team declined lo give a dollar estimate of damage.

Naval spokesmen said there was no immediate explanation of the cause of the collision.
