President Eisenhower Tells COP
Congressional Leaders Co to Work
To Advance Welfare of Our Country

WASHINGTON, R- President
Eisenhower told COP COMPRESSION
al leaders Thursday the American
people "are looking to the Repub-
lican party to continue to enact a
forward-looking, progressive pro
gram that will serve the welfare
of 100 million people"
AS Eisenhower began the first
three days of conference with the
party leaders on his 1854 legisla-
tive program, it was announced:
l. The President will make ma
tionwide radio and television adj
dress the evening of Jan. 4, re-
viewing his administration thus
far and outlining broadly the 1854
detectives.
2. Eisenhower will personally
deliver his state of the Union mes
sage to Congress on Jan. THE
day after the legislators convene.
At Thursdays first session with
the COP leaders, Eisenhower was
joined by his cabinet, other key
administration officials, and top
White House aides. At the outset,
the President told the lawmakers:
The American people have
vested in the Republican Party the
responsibility Of government. With
that responsibility we have great
opportunity to advance the well
fare Of our country. Now let's go
to work"
The meeting was behind closed
doors, but the Presidents state
ment was made public by the
White House.
Eisenhower told the group he
had called the meeting to seek the
leaders advice on the legislative
program which he will set out in
his state Of the Union and budget
messages.

Son Accused
Numbering Parents

NEW YORK, LIP - A poetry
quoting young chemist was &C
cused Thursday of numbering his
parents - to get their 100000
wealth - by spiking their cham
paigne cocktails with potassium
cyanide as all drank toast to his
new job.
The case had been considered a
double suicide or murder and sui
eide for four months - until a
pretty girl started talking.
The son and friend, who re
portedly confessed q murder-for-
money plot, were booked by police
on charges Of acting in concert in
homicide.
The son, Harlow Fraden, 81, an
only child, had moaned to detec-
tives months ago about the deaths
of his parents and deaths of an
aunt and uncle who were acct
dentally asphyxiated.
Bronx dist. atty. George B. LIE
Luca said the friend, Dennis WEEP
man, 20, an unemployed writer,
admitted that he and Fraden had
planned the murders ''for some
time"
The deaths were unsolved until
an attractive brunette girl friend
of Wepman went to authorities.
Wepman had told her Of his
"complicity in this thing" and she
became worried about her knowl-
edge of a crime.
The girl, whose name was not
revealed by authorities, first con-
suited a physician about her dill
emma, and he advised her to tell
her stories to the authorities. She
did so, and the case was broken
Wednesday by the initial arrest of
Wapman at his apartment. He
confessed, and Fraden's arrest
followed.

Flexible
JeWeIrv
Popular
By Louise Petrie

LONDON (NANA).-Th fine
workmanship of Britain's crafts
men Is being exemplified by an
exhibition of flexible jewelry
which has just opened here.
These pieces, which rate among
the better-class goods, are beau
tifully jointed and yield to the
movement Of the body.
Hand-set in rhodium- treated
silver. the diamonds are of the
manufactured variety and gilt
ter with all the brilliance of the
genuine article. Rather smaller
than the average diamond, the
stones fit exquisitely together.
A smooth, clinging spray Of
about three inches long looked
expensive enough to run into
three figures, yet it was less
than a third of such a price.
Still less expensive jewelry,
popularity called costume jewell
ry, shows a Victorian influence.
AmethySts are returning to favor,
set in light filigree frames for
brooches and fobS. Necklets with
amethystS and opals also are
new.
The influence of certain films
are blamed for a run of Roman
type chunky pieces - likely to
swamp jewelry counters within
the next few months.
These are not for everybody
and be wary of such garish dec
orations if you are on the small
or overplump scale.
A good-looking. evening chok-
er in sparkling brilliants was a
special attraction. Marcasite
earrings, brooches and rings ap-
peal to those with discerning
taste and colored pearls (gray
and bronze) are catching the eye
of the fashion minded.
A double string of gray pearls
with matching stud earrings was
an excellent buy.
