It will be, he told a press con- ference yesterday, @ foreign policy “with a single voice for all Amer- ica—the President’s.” ‘Johnson, who flew last night to Minnesota, said the 17 Democratic Senate committe chairmen would be a “Cabinet” to organize and carry through the program’s ob- jectives. Fourteen of these chair- men, ‘he said, will be from the South. and West. Democratic vic- tory, he declared, will be a “‘re- volt against the industrial East.” A “most thorough ventilation of the ‘Nixon - Dixon - Yates’ deal” will be made, he said, under di- rection of Sen. Clinton P. Ander- ), who would head the Atomie Energy Committee in a Democratic Congress. Nixon’s as a symbol, joins Dixon- because of his defense of TVA-atomic power contract, johnson said. ‘The five other program objec- on which Johnson proposed Democrats should get a run- Launching of a “gigantic de- velopment program of our natural resources including huge reclama- tiom and conservation projects in the West’ to provide water for expansion of Western industry and population, Full support for President Eisen- hower and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide an adequate defense against all would-be aggressors. A revised and improved farm program insuring the farmer and rancher a greater share in the to- tal national income. Modification and improvement of labor standards giving ‘‘both employe and employer the dignity to which they are entitled” Permit the “fullest utilization of all the great facilities of free and private enterprise without permit- ting a payoff to a shirt tail full of campaign contributors.” House Democratic Leader Sam Rayburn (D-Tex) fully concurs in the program and a plan to start work on in the special session one week after election on the Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) censure report. If approved by the Democratic Policy Committee and the 17 com- mittee chairmen, task forces will We assigned to work and draft the program's bills before the 84th congress opens in January, he said. * Johnson said he believed Presi- dent Eisenhower would get along . with a Democratic Congress be- cause “he got along very well with Democrats, from second lieutenant to gop general,” , Investigation of the Dixon-Yates power contract—“conceived in the dark of the moon’™but certain to be “exposed in the bright January sunlight” by a Democratic Con- gress—will make Anderson “one of the most important men in the Senate,” he said. “I would not be surprised if Sen- ator Anderson has a place on the ticket’ in °56.”” Newsmen asked which place he meant for Ander- son on a national ticket, Johnson replied, “he would suit me for ei- ther.” Johnson said the Dixon - Yates inquiry may “make Teapot Dome look like a kindergarten class.” Johnson said his analysis for the Nov. 2 voting shows the Demo- erats will win four new Senate best, Mutual Funds for yourself the extra value - of Service which gives-you:, Why.not get the most for their needs:’Today, diteover ' would be B: tkley a Ken wa ners jarkley in Kentucky O’Mahoney in Wyoming, Bible in Nevada, and Howell-in New Jer- sey. “The Republicans have only one issue to talk about left wingers and it’s a cinch they can’t sell that,” Johnson said. “Look who will be committee paren li a Democratic Senate it socialist, Harry Byrd of Virginia, will be chairman of finance. He’ll replace’ Millikin of Colorado. “Carl Hayden of Arizona will be chairman of appropriations, Dick Russell of Georgia chairman of the-Armed Services Committee and Walter George of Georgia chair- man of foreign relations. “Listen to those names and fig- ure out how the Republicans think they can sell ‘left wing,’ “Johnson said. “And McClellan of Arkansas,” he said, “will send Joe of Wisconsin to the back row” in the Government Operations Com- mittee.

IKE GOES TO AID (Continued from Page One) do the cooking as he sometimes likes to—too many people, aides said. From Gettysburg, Eisenhower will drive 20 miles to his weekend retreat at Camp David, in the Catoctin Mountains at Thurmont, Md. The President will. make a na- ‘tionally televised and radio broad- cast. address on economic affairs at a dinner here Monday night. He will receive the first annual James Forrestal Memorial Medal from the National Security Indus- try Assn., for. his “‘contributions to peace and world understanding.” ~The association is composed of |about 500 business firms working with the Defense Department on military contracts. The award is named in honor of-the late secre- tary of defense. Although the talk is billed as “nonpartisan,” Democrats have stressed economic issues—chiefly unemployment — as major cam- paign points. The address will be televised by NBC 10:30 p.m. EST and broadcast by NBC and ABC Radio, DECISION ON NAL (Continued From. Page One) very few when you consider the thousands who roll in here by auto. The county - NAL wrangle drag- ged on from Jan. 1 to early this month when the county moved to evict the line from Meacham for non - payment of a $5,144 rent bill for the first eight months of 1954. NAL petitioned for and was granted a temporary injunction by Judge Lopez to stop the eviction and to halt the county from col- lecting the 50 - cent fee. The county has until Nov. 6 to file an answer. So, it would appear that Mea- cham’s future is in the hands of Judge Lopez and the CAA. Maybe National will eventually fly in and out of Meacham Airport as the line tried to do several months ago. for our Mutual Fund Advisory brock your mone} iting fe and fal hee ncner by sniting for our new your particular needs, request For a p tailored to our Tncome Planning Guide. VIRON E. PAYNE Key West Representative First Southern Investors Corp. Harvey Bldg., West Palm Beach, Fla. By WILLIAM NEWKIRK w — After five inging from sex and es to the effects of pub- jury, the Sheppard mur- was in a weekend recess today with 12 jurors tentatively picked, and challenging likely to start Monday. Dr. Samuel Sheppard, a slender, handsome osteopath, is accused of bludgeoning his pregnant wife to death July after an affair some weeks earlier with Miss Hayes, a cute 24-year-old hospital techni- Court resumes Monday when state and defense atiorneys can begin using their six peremptory challenges each to dismiss jurors they feel are not qualified. There are seven women and five men how in the jury box. ~ Neither the prosecution nor the defense would say how many chal- lenges they plan to use, but Judge Edward Blythin said he doubted that more than four jurors would be excused. After the challenges have been used and the excused jurors are replaced, an alternate must be chosen. i ‘Then with the final jury seated, one more legal step remains be- fore the state can start its case. That is a motion for a change of venue, introduced by the chief de- fense attorney, William J. Corri- Corrigan, starting a theme he repeated constantly in the first five days of the trial, contended publicity given the case by news- papers, radio and television had made it impossible for Sheppard to get a, fair trial in Cuyhoga County. Judge Blythin refused then to decide upon the motion until after an attempt had been made to pick a fair and impartial jury. That, he said, would be the real test of whether the trial should be moved to another county. The 12th juror is Mrs. Luella Williams, a divorcee and mpther, of four grown children. She is the oy. Negro tentatively seated on The other juror picked yesterday was a letter carrier, Gerald L. Liederbach. The court used up 30 of the original panel of 66 prospective ju- rors, excusing some for illness and others because they had fixed opinions on the guilty or innocence of the defendant or were opposed to capital punishment. One. of the panel members ex- cused yesterday was a pretty bru- nette who admitted she discussed the ‘case all week with friends and relatives, despite Judge Blythin’s order last Monday not to talk about it at all. For disobeying his order, Mrs. Betty Marie Parker was liable to a contempt citation. But the judge never mentioned this, although he sternly reprimanded her. She had been getting along splendidly under questioning by Defense Atty. Fred W. Garmone until he started asking her whether she discussed the case in telephone calls. While Judge Blythin’s eyes grew wide in surprise, she told of talk- ing about the trial this week with her sister, ‘‘my girl friend” and finally with nearly all of the 55 women wth whom she works at a factory. During the five days needed to pick a tentative jury the 30-year- old defendant sat in the courtroom with few outward signs of emotion. He had warm smiles for his fa- ther and two brothers, who also are osteopaths. Most of the time he sat quietly watching his lawyers and the three assistant prosecutors while they quizzed prospective jurors. Occa- sionally his eyes drifted to the 50- |odd newsmen, who took up most of the spectators eats in the small courtroom. His seemed reproachful then. His slender fingers usually were locked and held under his chin or out a few inches from his face. Sometimes he would close his eyes and squeeze tightly with his clasped hands in what appeared |to be moments of mental stress. expresion aoe m WAC Recruiter To Be In Key West Monday, Tuesday Pvt.

Chances By ED CORRIGAN The Associated Press Whatever chances the University of Maryland had of returning to the Orange Bowl this New Year’s Day appeared doomed today in the wake of their 9-7 defeat by Miami (Fla.). Last night’s game was an im- portant one for Jim Tatum and his Terps. The national champions last year, they have taken a bad nose-dive this season and now are out of the national picture. They dropped an early season game to UGLA and were tied by Wake For- est in addition to the Miami de- feat. For the undefeated Hurricanes, the victory will do much to en- hance their national ranking. They are ineligible for a bowl bid, how- ever, because of difficulties with the NCAA. The teams fought on even terms until 10 seconds before the half when Bob Nolan made a fine leap- ing catch of a 21-yard pass by Mario Bonofiglio for the first score. The Hurricanes made it 9-0 when Ronnie Waller was knocked down behind his goal line for safety. The Terps couldn’t score until their hopes were all but dead with four minutes left. Houston turned back Villanova 28 to 7 before a “‘grocery” crowd of 57,817 in Philadelphia. A grocery chain distributed tickets to custom- ers who purchased $10 worth of goods. Jack Patterson scored three touchdowns and pitched for the other Houston score. Halfback Bob Burmeier per- formed almost as well as Patter- son when he bulled over for three touchdowns in Detroit’s 28-18 Mis- souri Valley Conference victory over Tulsa. The Golden Hurri- canes, who haven’t won a game, never were in it and scored 12 of their points in the final period after Detroit had run up a 28-6 margin. In other major games last night George Washington and William and Mary played a 13-13 tie; Fur- Mman scored an expected triumph over Davidson 19-7; Chattanooga own its fourth straight at-home game, 41-6, from East Texas State and Denver knocked Wichita out of the unbeaten ranks 27-14. The big boys got into action to- day and at Columbus, Ohio, Wis- cousin ranked No. 2 in The Asso- ciated Press weekly poll met Ohio State No. 4 with a possible Rose Bowl bid in the balance. This was the big test in the Badgers’ bid for the Big Ten title. Mississippi, No. 5 got its first severe test when it met Arkan- sas, No. 7, the surprise of the Southwest Conference. Ole Miss, which has a rather easy sched- ule, is the co-leader of the South- eastern Conference. Both clubs have bowl bids in mind, Southern California may not win the Pacific Coast Conference title, but the Trojans could make the Rose Bowl if they whip California. UCLA, the favorite, is ineligible. Oklahoma, the No. 1 team in the country in the weekly Asso- ciated Press poll, entertained Kan- sas State. Minnesota, No. 8, faced a rough assignment in Michigan. The Gophers are unbeaten and they, too, have a chance to win the Western Conference title.

In failing health several years, he was admitted to St. John’s Hos- pital last Thursday, suffering from hepatitis, an infection of the liver. He succumbed last night. McManus started his career as a floor-sweeper in the art depart- ment of the old St. Louis Republic. Eventually he did some drawing |for that paper but one day in 1904 jhe took a bootblack’s tip on a horse and invested $100 on a 100- to-1. shot that won. With his win- nings he set out for New York and fame. There were times in New York when he thought he’d never make it, and as he once said: “I was almost starved, but when I was going down for the third time the old New York World signed me {and I created the comic strips ‘The Newlyweds’ and ‘Let George Dow?’ McManus signed on with the old New York American in 1912, worked over 40 ideas for a new | strip and finally came up with the! jone that put him over—‘‘Jiggs,” |of the corned beef and eabbage crowd. “Bringing Up Father,” with its boisterous and battling characters | | and the dogged “Maggie,” the wife | \of Jiggs, with her rampant rolling | | pin, caught on immediately in New | York and then throughout the| country as it was syndicated.
