Chief defense counsel David M. Lewis presented no wit nesses to refute the prosecution's charges that the former assistant right-of-way chief took a $15,800 cut of some $80,000 in profits allegedly shared with four other public figures in land deals on route of the Tri-State High way. Doggett, of Greensburg, never took the stand. During his strategic final argument, Lewis told a large Marion Criminal Court, Division 1, audience that he had no quarrel with the evidence, but that he did have a quarrel with what he called a lack of evidence. Referring to the grand jury indictment, Lewis declared that the state was trying Harry Doggett for bribery because it alleged in the indictment that he took money from former Carpenters Union official Frank M.

The plans are part of a wider emergency provision in the event of a worsening of the Berlin crisis and would be put into effect only after high-level government consultation. The disclosure came after a day in which United States Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell Gilpatric held Berlin crisis talks with Defense Minister Harold Watkin-son and the British chiefs of staff.

By JOHN H. LYST Harry A. Doggett, former state highway official on trial on charges of bribery in connection with the five-year-old Indiana highway probe, was found not guilty last night by a Marion Criminal Court jury. The jury returned a verdict after six hours and 45 minutes of deliberation. Doggett broke into a smile when he heard the verdict.

It was the first time he had smiled in court since the trial began last Monday. The jury of seven men and five women began deliberating at 3:35 p.m. yesterday after Doggett's defense attorneys had rested their case solely on the strength of a closing argument. The jurors retired for deliberations, broken only by a little more than an hour spent at supper, after have voted in the 1957 ruling because he had not heard all the evidence. Craven did not participate in yesterday's 4-2 vote favoring WIBC.

Commissioners Rosel H. Hyde and John S. Cross dissented, and Cross has prepared a written dissent. CROSLEY, which has headquarters at Cincinnati, has been operating on Channel 13 with interim authority since the case was reopened. The firm's chairman, James D.

Shouse, made this statement yesterday. "We have not yet had an opportunity to study the decision. However, as previously stated, we will petition the commission for rehearing. "If a rehearing is denied or if the action of the commission on rehearing is adverse, Crosley will have the right to appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia." Richard M. Fairbanks, president and general manager of WIBC, which operates a radio station here, was out of the city.

He said earlier this year, when the FCC's plan to rule in his firm's favor was reported, that the commission should let WIBC take over the channel despite any appeals by Crosley. to have left Santiago, Cuba, Thursday. There was no word on the number of crewmen aboard or whether there were more defectors than the four men named in the message. Lexington Girl Dies In Own Car Lexington, Ky. (UPI) A petite, blond coed choir singer was strangled with straps off her own brassiere early yesterday in her foreign -made car parked on the campus of historic Transylvania College near the heart of downtown Lexington.

The body of sophomore Betty Gail Brown, 19 years old, an only child and a scholarship student, was found clad in Bermuda shorts and a white blouse that had been unbuttoned down the front. HER BODY was discovered a few minutes after she had been reported missing by her parents when she failed to return from a late night study session for a biology exam. "She was choked to death with the cords that tied her brassiere," Police Chief E. C. Hale said.

He said she had not i been raped. She was one of 590 students at Transylvania, a Christian Church institution and one of the oldest colleges west of the Alle-ghenies. Among its prominent students in the past were Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. Ten detectives under Capt. Rollie Leach began questioning students who had known the girl, but Leach said no solid clews had been found.

Miss Brown sang in the college choir and was a member of Phi Mu Sorority. Other students said she dated many boys, but none in particular. SHE LIVED at home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hargus Brown.

Her father is a Lexington insurance executive. Chief Hale said the coed's body was found about 3 a.m., behind the wheel of her foreign-made four-door car. "Her head was back on the seat and she looked as though she were asleep," he said. A patch of hair had been pulled from the top of her head, and there was a cut over one eye. Her purse and books were on the seat, and her brassiere, except for the straps, was in her lap.

Students told police she had left Forrer Hall on the campus just before midnight. The last person known to have seen her was another student, Charles Rlsdon, who had been taking a date back to the campus. He saw her as she was driving away.

Federal Jury Indicts Six In Ratterman Frame-Up in 111 Utl Alll Berlin (Saturday) (AP) American and Soviet tanks, facing with their guns leveled at point blank range, kept a sullen vigil through the night at the bristling Berlin section border. Perilous see-saw demonstrations of rival power In-dicated the world's central war-or-peace crisis was heading for some sort of a showdown. After a high pressure cat-and-mouse duel of nerves along the walled frontier, Soviet soldiers joined East German police (Vopos) on foot patrol while tank men on both sides dug in for a night of watchful waiting. In an atmosphere of electric tension, the grim facing of arms began at dusk last night when 10 United States Patton tanks rolled up to the border, supporting a new U.S. armed thrust into East Berlin to escort a U.S.

civilian official. It was the third such thrust in three days. MINUTES AFTER U.S. forces withdrew from the area, 10 Soviet T-34 and T-54 tanks rumbled to the border, stopped and pointed their guns at U.S. Checkpoint Charlie on Fried-richstrasse.

After a half hour they withdrew. Then five Patton tanks lumbered up once again and stayed put, their guns pointing east across the grim zigzag checkpoint manned by East German police. Five were behind in reserve. This brought the Russian tanks to the checkpoint minutes later, and now the two were facing one another at a range of 200 yards. A high Soviet source told an Associated Press correspondent at the checkpoint the United States should remember that if Western tanks moved into the East Sector, Russian tanks could and would move into the West.

-And he indicated there are a large number of Soviet tanks on hand. The beginning of the positioning of tanks brought a dramatic incident. During the excitement, while a crowd of West Berliners lustily jeered and booed at the Soviet tanks, an East Berliner suddenly burst through the barriers into the West and shouted "I'm free, I'm free." (AP Wirtphoto) SOARING SATURN Up, Up And Away I 'V i The Federal Communications Commission yesterday ordered Crosley Broadcasting Corporation to go off the air Nov. 30 on Indianapolis Television Channel 13 (WLW-I). But a long legal battle was expected over the ruling which gave WIBC Inc.

authority to transmit on Channel 13. The award to WIBC was indicated last June when the FCC directed its staff to prepare the order. Yesterday's action made it official. Crosley announced immediately that it would ask for a rehearing in the case, and indicated it would go to court if denied rehearing or defeated in a new hearing. ONE OF THE unanswered questions was whether the FCC was likely to lei Crosley continue using Channel 13 while a rehearing petition was pending.

Crosley was expected to seek such permission. WIBC Inc. had offered to buy WLW-Ts broadcast facilities from Crosley, but had received no reply. Yesterday's order will not be released until so the commission's reasons for its actions are not known yet. THE RULING was the latest in the dispute over control of the channel.

The attorney general said recently appointed Newport Police Chief Upshire White, two detectives, a lawyer and two night club operators were charged with falsely arresting Ratterman and denying him his constitutional right to a fair trial. OTHERS NAMED as defendants in the indictment handed down by the grand jury were: Patrick Ciafardini, 39 years old, and Joseph Quitter, 43, Newport detectives; Charles E. Lester, 58, an attorney whose READY home is in Fort Thomas, Tito Carinci, president of the corporation which owns the Tropicana night club in Newport, and Edward Buccieri, 39, a Cold Spring (Ky.) night club operator. Carinci, when contacted last night, said, "I'm bitter.

I never got a chance to tell my story. I feel complete remorse for five other innocent people in this thing. They have done no wrong. Why should they suffer." Another of the six indicted, Police Chief White said, "I'm glad I'm indicted. Now I can tell my side of it." Yesterday's perform ance does not mean that this program can be accelerated, scientists said.

It is being held up by development of the second stage, which will not be ready until 1963. HOWEVER, Dr. Wernher Von Braun. the German rockets expert who was instrumental in building Saturn, said information obtained yesterday would bring improvement of the rocket before the next flight next March. To plug the gap until Saturn is ready, the Atlas will be mated with a hydrogen-powered second stage next year.

This booster, to be called Centaur, will match the weight lifting power of Russian vehicles and will be able to drop exploratory instruments on the moon to prepare the way for manned landings. Nova, which is scheduled to succeed Saturn in the program, will be used to place men on the moon with its 20,000,000 pound thrust. This could come as early as 1967. nel 13 in 1957 and WIBC, which also was an applicant, took a Federal court appeal. Two other applicants, Indianapolis Broadcasting Inc.

The Coast Guard said it was unable to raise the Bahia De Nipe on the radio after receiving the messages.

(UPI) The police chief of" the "sin city" of Newport, and five other men were indicted by )t Federal grand jury yesterday on charges of framing former football star George Ratterman by staging his arrest in a bedroom with a strip-tease dancer last May 9. The grand jury had been meeting here intermittently since May, investigating Rat-terman's charges that he was drugged and placed in a bedroom above a Newport night club with strip-tease dancer Juanita Hodges in order to discredit him as a reform candidate- for Campbell County sheriff. Miss Hodges, known professionally as "April Flower," and Ratterman, a former University of Notre Dame and Cleveland Brown quarterback, both were called as witnesses by the grand jury yesterday. Shortly before the grand jury reported here, the indict-m were announced in Washington by Attorney General Robert F.

With an unearthly scream of its eight engines, the world's mightiest known booster rode 1,300,000 pounds of thrust to an altitude of 95 miles then dived back as planned to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic 200 miles away. Despite complete success of the initial flight, Saturn will not soon erase the Russian lead over the United States in booster power. Under the present schedule, it will be at least three years before Saturn is ready to hurl a three-man Apollo spacecraft into orbit around the earth. It will be 1966 before the rocket, which then will have a thrust of three to four million pounds, will be able to propel Appollo into orbit around the moon.

A Coast Guard spokesman said the message explained that the captain was bringing the vessel into Miami and would seek political asylum for himself and three other officers, i The 324-foot freighter was hijacked last Aug. 17 and put into Norfolk under similar circumstances. AT THAT TIME, the captain and 10 of his crewmen were granted political asylum. Twenty-three other crewmen aboard the ship remained loyal to Premier Fidel Castro and sailed the vessel back to Cuba after U.S. courts rejected efforts by creditors of the Cuban government to attach the hip.
