ally his signing of the measure.
The President said the new
law places in the hands of the
Attorney General and FBI "bet-
ter weapons for combating the
Communist menace in this
country"
He added that it was one of a
series of measures designed for
this general purpose-to elimi-
nate the Communist conspiracy
here by constitutional means.
Tribute to Congress.
His approval of this contro-
versy ridden measure came af-
ter the Presidents tribute to the
record of the Republican-con-
trolled SD Congress for it's "ef-
fective accomplishments" to
strengthen America on many
fronts.
In a television and radio re-
port to the Nation last night
the President said Congress has
reached ''mid-mark" on his pro-
gram "for the benefit of all
Americans" but slots of things"
are still to be done.
He put it up to the voters to
decide in the November congress
sional elections whether these
things will sbe done. declaring
that "it is the character of the
84th Congress that will deter
mine" the outcome of his pro-
gram.
Campaign Plea.
This was as close as he came
to direct plea for election Of
more Republicans to Congress.
His speech had been expected to
throw new steam into the
G. o. P. campaign for retaining
control of the Senate and House
next year. But he chose a soft
pedal approach.
On the international front,
the President urged his listeners
not to be too discouraged about
current gloomy predictions"
concerning Europe.
He obviously had in mind pre-
dictions that the European De-
tense Community project is dead
as a result of collapse of the
Brussels talks of Western Euro
pean leaders.
Without mentioning EDO di-
rectly, Gen. Eisenhower said
Western Europe's great states
men, are laboring for peace and
ARE not licked yet"
Let us not lose faith in them"
he added, there is still some
thing to be done In that region,
and we are going to do it. We
are going to develop better part
ners in all parts of the world.

Despite the mass of scared flesh
and broken bones the attractive
young girl pulled through and
within six months was out of the
hospital and on her fathers farm
in Tabor City. She is the daughter
of Enoch Parnen and the late
Mrs. Parnell. Clutches and a cork
heel married her appearance which
she described as 81 felt l would
have to go through life looking
like Mother Hubbard" The cork
heel was discarded soon after she
reached her fathers farm and
regular exercises restored the leg
to its normal condition.
Beauty is not the only asset of
the ex-Tabor City girl. She is an
excellent cook who merits this
praise by virtue of having won
completely furnished modern

Bavaria Shift
Is Big Threat
7oAdenuuer
BY the Associated Press

MUNICH, Germany, Dec. O.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
was deprived tonight of control
of Bavaria and is almost certain
to lose his tight grip on the
Bonn parliament.
In an unprecedented move,
Socialists and three right-Wing
parties signed an agreement to
unite in state coalition gov
ernment which will rule Bavaria
for the next four years. Mr..
Adenauer had controlled the
government of strongly Catholic
Bavaria for eight years.
The startling developments
probably mean the end of Mr..
Adenauer's vital two-thirds ma
jority in the Bonn Bundesrat
(upper house,. This, in turn,
might endanger ratification of
the Paris treaties on German re-
armament.

Mr.. Moncure was appointed by

The strongest evidence pro-

Steel Cabinet Puts
Screws on Scheme
To Bolt Prison
BY the Assccioied Press

McALESTER, Okla, Dec. g.
Sam Ramos, 32-year-old con-
victed robber, thought his plan
to escape from the Oklahoma
State Penitentiary was fool
proof, but it turned out to be
escapeproof.
Prison officials said Ramos
bolted himself inside a steel
cabinet outside the main prison
wall after working hours in the
industrial area. Only a chain
link fence stood between him
and freedom-he thought.
When darkness came he tried
to remove the nuts with which
he had secured the door on the
36X20X20-inch cabinet. Ramos
is 5 feet 8l2.
He was SO cramped he
couldn't bulge to twist the nuts.
After Is hours in the self i'm
posed prison, Ramos gave up and
aroused guards by screaming.
