Mrs. Stevens Faces
|Arraignment Today on
Mans|aughter Charge
BY the Associated Press.

NEW CANAAN, Conn, June 3d.
Attractive Mrs. Imogene Stevens,
Texas-born wife of an Army para
troop major, will be arraigned at
pm. today on a charge of man.
slaughter in a Staying committed, by
coroner's account, In IAN aura Of
sex recrimination."
Mrs. Stevens, "a, who has been
held in Bridgeport County Jail in
lieu of $50.000 bond, was accused of
shooting Albert Kovacs, 19-year-old
sailor, last Saturday night after or
dering him from the home of a
neighbor, Charles Milton, executive
of an aircraft parts company.
Her arraignment in Municipal
Court followed the inquest report
yesterday of Coroner Theodore E.
Steiber which charged that she
killed Kovacs while under an emo
ton strain and under the influence
of liquor" following a dispute with
Milton's wife in which the sailor
had no part.
1T would appear" the coroner's
report said, from statements made
to the police by the Millions and Mrs
Stevens, that an illicit love affair
existed between her and Milton"
The sailor, veteran of the South
Pacific, had come to New Canaan
to visit Faith Coombs, a friend who
lived with the Millions. Mrs. Stevens
told police that Kovacs attacked her
when she, believing him to be an
intruder, ordered him to leave the
house.
There was no word, meanwhile
whether her husband, Maj. G. Raj
sey Stevens, Sd, who is in Germany,
had been able to start for home in
response to her cabled appeal.

scheduled to join Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain in
Berlin.
Mr.. Landon came over from his
home in Topeka to accept an invi-
tation Mr.. Truman sent him several
weeks ago.
Asked about his reaction to the
Presidents plan, Mr.. Landon re-
called that he had made a speech
earlier this month calling on the
country ito close ranks behind the
President" as has been the custom
in critical times.
He added that he believed the
foreign policy being developed by the
President docs offer hope" for
reaching the basis sought by Mr..
Truman. The former Governor said
he absolutely" agrees with him.
Mr.. Landon, who said they also
discussed the food situation, was
highly complimentary of Mr.. Tru-
mans grasp of the farm problem,
and expressed satisfaction with the
Presidents program for flood con-
troll, but refused to 60 into details
Of their discussion on this point. He
said he thought ''the country has
relaxed under Mr.. Truman.
On food, Mr.. Landon said he didn't
think the trouble was one of farm
prices, but rather "a state of mind"
He said he told the President
These farm families have been
working their heads of to produce,
only to see crops rot on the ground
for lack of freight cars to move
them; that they've been pestered by
a lot of whippersnappers from the
OPA with a lot of petty questions
while the black market is going on
in farm machinery.
Agree on Situation.
Mr.. Landon said the President,
responded that he didn't knopi about
the black market issue his visitor
mad raised, but agreed with me on
the general proposition that it was
largely a state Of mind" with the
farmers. The President understands
from his own farm background"
how growers hate to see their pro-
duce wasted when there is so much
hunger in the world" Mr.. Landon
asserted.
The conference topped a typical
white House" day that President
Truman put in at his Office in the
Federal Building, after having plan
ned to rest for two days at his
home in independence. He saw
visitors, took care of office detail,
including the issuance of the exec
utive order that formally trans
fers the War Food Administra-
ton to the Secretary of Agriculture
and sent a congratulatory message
to Gen. Douglas Macarthur fol
the successful conclusion of the
Luzon campaign.
A schedule of like nature was ir
prospect today.
After the conference with Mr.
Landon, Mr.. Truman joined the
former Governor at buffet dinner
at which Roy A. Roberts. manag.
ing editor of the Kansas City Star
was host to visiting newspapermer
and others who came here to the
Truman Homecoming. The Presi-
dent greeted many Of the other

Planners Endorsement
|0f TeIevision Tower
Put OFF for Few DAYS
BY NELSON SHEPARD.

Residents of the Fort Reno Park
area will know definitely In a few
days whether the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission has
given it's official Endorsement to the
proposed erection Of q 300-foot COM
mercial television tower and station
at Thirty-ninth and Fessenden
streets NV.
The situation has possibilities of
interesting developments which may
come up at the public hearing before
the Board Of Zoning Adjustment for
these reasons:
About six months ago residents of
the area succeeded In blocking at
tempts to establish a public school
on the same site after a protracted
fight.
The Planning Commission, itself,
several months ago, blocked efforts
Of the United States District Engi-
neer Once to erect q steel water
tower across from Fessenden street
because it believed Fort Reno Park
was an unsuitable location and the
tower did not meet aesthetic stand
ards.
Group Visits Proposed Site.
Preparing to rush a sealed report
to the Board of Zoning Adjustment
in the next day or so, the planning
group visited the two-acre site yes
terday afternoon. They reported
back that it was satisfactory for
commercial television usage in every
respect. Of1lcially the commission
has not stated its approval or dis
approval of the application filed by
the Bamberger Broadcasting Co. OF
Newark, N. j., which Is trying to get
in on the ground floor by making the
first bid for television station.
From the attitude of individual
members of the commission, how
ever, 1t was a foregone conclusion
that they will line up in support of
the application.
Action Postponed.
The commission postponed until
Its next meeting, August 80, action
on the request of the District bench
and bar to help obtain congressional
authorization for the erection of a
new District courts building on the
square between Constitution avenue
and c street, John Marshall place
and Third street. 1t is just south
of the Municipal Center. Because
the National Auditorium Commits
sion has a present priority on the
site the planning group decided to
give the matter further study.
Meanwhile, Chairman Randolph
of the House District Committee
yesterday made public letter to
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, plan
ming chairman, calling attention to
the imperative" need for a new
courthouse on the site mentioned,

In answer to Government moves
to cancel occupational deferments of
the strikers, Mr.. Wheeler told the
President:
If the Government agencies re-
sort to this shameful procedure, in
dicated as the easiest and least
troublesome way out, then democ-
racy In America is a hollow sham
and we have already lost what our
armed forces are supposed to be

the rubber workers.

said. How much longer is the
Government going to continue 10
drive, threaten and turn the heat
on the rubber workers? The Gov

In an appeal to the rubber strikers
Acting Secretary Of War Patterson

H. Struve Hensel had said unless they
resumed production, I'VE shall have
to reduce the force of our aerial Of

Goodyear officials said 257 pro-
