Attorney Seeks 'Quash? Surprise Letter Read in Court By RAY DUNCAN Independent Stcif Welter Carole Pappa is putting on weight in jail, but her lawyer may have lost a little weight yesterday. He executed an old-fashioned, hour-long, arm- waving, finger-shaking, shouting de nunciation of the way his young red-headed client had been, "trapped" by some law yers. Lawyer Robert A. Neeb Jr was making a vigorous try to get the murder charge against Carole dismissed before she ever comes to trial.

The court listened in silence yesterday and adjourned a little after 4 p.m. without hearing prosecu tion arguments. These will be heard when debate resumes in Pomona Superior Court at 10:30 this morning. A decision may be handed down later today. Attorney Neeb was arjru- Ing for his motion to dismiss and to "quash" all charges against Carole, and to drop the arraignment proceedings forthwith.

The only surprise in yesterday's debate was a letter introduced by Neeb. It was a letter from Municipal Judge Wil- M. Martin, who had conducted the preliminary healing for Carole last month. He said that he had neglected to make it clear, for the record, that in arriving at the decision to hold Carole for trial, he had meant to exclude six pages of her testimony from consideration. The six pages, 90 to 90, were among the most sensational in her testimony.

They had to do with her relationship to Dr. Raymond Finch, husband of the murdered woman and also defendant on a similar muiv dor charge. Judge Martin indicated he had excluded these pages of testimony because they followed a statement by Carole a she "didn't want to answer that question." Neeb claims that this exclusion is proof that Judge Martin thinks Carole's constitutional rights were violated at least in that instance. "And if they were violated in that instance;" sniil Neeb, "they were violated completely. If a Hide of her rights were denied her, then nil of her rights were destroyed You cannot take part of lier righl.s nway, and say that her rights are intact." Major points In Neeb's argument were these: --The charge against Carole should be dismissed because the prosecution has failed to that Carole had either knowledge of an Impending CAROLE'S: Turn (o Page 13 Figh!

Russians MOSCOW (Tuesday)--UPI--Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev took off today for his long-cherished visit to the United States carrying with him as a gift President Eisenhower, a copy of the hammer and sickle pennant, planted on the moon by Russia's Lunik rocket. The Prmuer, his wife and three children departed from Vnukovo Airport on a huge turboprop TU-114 airliner early this morning on a non-stop flight to Washington. They were due at Andrews Air Force Base, outside the capital, at around a.m., The flight was expected to take about hours. The Khrushchev family and the Premier's official delegation boarded the plane as crowds ol workers, diplomats and members of the ruling presidium stood by.

Khrushchev shook lands with all the diplomats, and smilingly accepted a bou quet of flowers from a little girl. The family was accompanied by'a delegation from which military men and high-powered government officials were conspicuously absent. The party was made up of educators, medical men, writers, other cultural personages--underscoring the Russian theme of peace for Khrushchev's 12-day trip The Russian people, already elated by the moon rocket success, were highly excited by the mission of. their lender, who has been angling for two years for an invitation to (he United States. Khrushchev went to Washington--In the words of an old Soviet a full suitcase." Diplomatic circles said he was highly-pleased with the timing of the moon rocket shot and the less-publicized launching world's first atomic-power icebreaker, the huge Lenin--two triumphs that are bound to raise Russia's world standing.

This was the first visit to the United States of a Soviet Premier. Two first Deputy Premiers--Anastas Mikoyan and Frol Kozlov--toured the United States earlier this year. In a statement issued through the Tass news agency and echoed by Russian scientists, Khrushchev called the rocket moon shot a victory "of the whole Soviet people and the whole camp of socialism." He said the pennant he would give Eisenhower was "a symbol calling for the joint efforts of American and Soviet scientists, engineers, workers in the struggle for better relations between our two countries, foj- peace on earth among all nations." The Soviet coat of arms consists of a hammer and sickle superimposed on a globe of the world which is topped by a red star. The emblem is enclosed in a wreatii bearing tht phrase, "Workers of the World Unite." A Soviet scientist said the original pennant aboard the rocket was a narrow metal ribbon about 12 inches long. II also bore the date "September, 1959." In a separate letter to visiting Rep.

Victor L. Anfuso Khrushchev said Russia favored international cooperation on the peaceful uses of outer space, provided East I West had "equal footing" in such a program. Anfuso had proposed in a letter to the Premier a a space committee be set up under United Nations auspices. Russians scientists at a news conference said the Soviet Union had "no territorial claim whatsoever" on the moon as a result of the spectacular rocket shot. Tlie Soviet press, filled with praise for the Russian scientists responsible, reiterated the flieme that the conquest of space was a Joint effort by all nations.

Khrushchev also hailed the recent launching of the "Lenin," the world's first atomic-powered icebreaker. He said "We are ready to cooperate with all nations i KHRUSHCHEV; See Page 13 Congress Near End of Lengthy Session WASHINGTON UPI--The Senate brushed aside the last major obstacles to an adjournment last night by approving a two-year extension of President Eisenhower's Civil Rights Commission and the multi-billion dollar foreign aid money bill.
