Witness Grilled at Tate Trial LOS ANGELES (UPI)-The defense has sought to establish that a 17-year-old state witness at the Tate murder trial took LSD so many times she fabricated conversations she heard implicating Charles Man-son and a female codefendant. Dianne Lake, a pretty, auburn-haired girl who joined the Manson Family when she was 15 and lived with the group for two years, said Tuesday she was still in love with Manson and jealous of the attention he gave other female members of the hippie cult. When questioned about her previous testimony that defendant Leslie Van Houten told her of stabbing bodies that already were dead, she admitted she had on occasion heard Man-sons voice although he was not even present.

Defense Attorney Ronald Hughes asked her what the voice would say. It would say, this is Charles Manson speaking, Miss Lake replied. You mean like a Mattel doll, this is Charles Manson speaking? Hughes asked. Miss Lake broke into laughter and said he was not like that. Then Hughes imitated a high pitched womans voice and asked if Miss Lake ever heard, is Leslie speaking? The witness broke into giggles.

County Wont Up Hospital Assessments Acting as a board of equalization Tuesday, the Kings County supervisors upheld tax assessments on the Hacienda Convalescent Hospital and were told the matter may be taken to court. California Health Care which owns the local facility, had requested assessments be raised. Dick Hudson, a representative of the firm which owns several such institutions, told the board assessed valuation affects the facilitys income in that higher value gives a higher Medi Cal allowance. Hudson said the high value would not increase patient rates but would allow the hospital to maintain them at the present level. George Thyarks, chief ap-praiser for the county, said the law does not allow value to be put on the success of a business or its good will, only on the physical aspects of the buildings and land.

Hudson told the board the corporation may take the matter to court.

(Boac) was acquitted Tuesday by a Victoria district court judge.

Edwin David Dodgson, 61, of Fresno, Calif, was acquitted after the evidence submitted by the defense proved insufficient to warrant his conviction. He was accused of demanding $100,000 in a threatening letter to the BOAC manager for the Orient. It said: You are going to lose two VC 10s along with the crews and passengers while in the air and without warning if you do not obey our instructions. In an interview with the South China Morning Post Tuesday, Dodgson said he had spent 50 useless days in Hong Kong where he had initially come to set up a business. "I am thoroughly disgusted and will catch the first available flight to Saigon to pick up my wife and six children before proceeding to the United States.

It was a frame-up from the beginning, any way you look at it. I shall never return. These proceedings have cost me $3,000 and there is no way in which restitution can be made to me. The Morning Post said Dodgsons counsel, M. H.

Jackson-Lipkin, had submitted to the court that the prosecutions case was based wholly on suspicions. He said the prosecution's case was based on a letter Boac received on Sept. 21 which bore a postmark indicating that it had been posted by someone before Kowloon, the Post said. The typewriter which allegedly had been used was found in the possession of a doctor, who claimed it was given to him by an American not the accused, the newspaper said. The counsel had told the court that testimony by a prosecution witness who said it was the typewriter used in typing the letter, should not be regarded as expert evidence.

The counsel contended the witness had never made a study of typewriters or their comparisons and did not know how they worked.

At the time of his death, Thoresen was appealing a 1969 Johns Hopkins before his retirement theee years ago. He said that there are 90 million guns in the United States which has the highest gun-to-population ratio in the world, and that 25 million of those weapons are concealable handguns.

These are the firearms used in virtually all aggravated assaults and robberies involving firarms and in three-fourths of all gun murders, he said. The younger brother of the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower said that when his commission recommended a policy of restrictive licensing of handguns and a simple identification system for long guns, vitriolic mail began to pour into my office. I was with, every, epithet Id heard and some Id never heard before from you shame the Eisenhower name to Fascist and even to Communist. Only those who can prove to the state that they need to have a gun should be allowed to own a pistol, said Eisenhower.

All others should be confiscated. American society, he noted, "apparently does not find violence abhorrent. Violence is a constant theme in television dramas, and violence is touted in American folklore.

Telephone 582-071 BALTIMORE (UPI) The man who headed a presidential commission that found America the most violent nation in the world says he is perplexed by the opposition to gun control.

Americans love their guns, he said. Dr. Milton Eisenhower, speaking Tuesday at a symposium on violence at Johns Hopkins University, said his proposal to limit ownership of handguns to those who can show a need for them has brought forth blind, emotional resistance.

Todays NEW YORK (UPI) Tentative settlement of the General Motors strike and a Federal Reserve discount rate cut brought buyers into the stock market with a rush early today. Gains ranging to a $1 a share or more in many groups lifted prices sharply -more than 7 points on the Dow Jones industrial average as volume swelled to 3,440,000 shares in the first hour, compared with 3,260,000 shares Tuesday. Only 167 issues were lower out of some 1,420 stocks appearing on the tape. The market tos been idling recently waiting for news of the GM strike and signs of easier money.

The Federal Reserve cut the discount rate which it charges member commercial banks by point to 534 per cent after the market close Tuesday. Announcement of the tentative GM strike settlement came before the market opening today. The two stimulated what some analysts considered an emotional response. Many felt both items had been largely discounted and noted that the Fed rate cut was smaller than had been expected generally. This, they said, could prompt later profit taking.
