After MOlestatiOns

ORLANDO GA gun-wielding
rapist was hunted by police and
sheriff'S officers in five central
Florida counties today after a man
bearing his description molested
two women in places at least 100
miles apart.
Polk County Sheriff Pat Gordon
and Orlando police said the de-
scription given by the latest vic
tins tailed with that of the man
who raped a 19-year-old Titusville
office worker Aug. 4 and molested
two young girls on an Orlando
street corner Aug. 3.
The mans activities today took
place near Cocoa Beach in Bre-
ward County and near Davenport
in Polk County.
Det. Sgt. H. L. Baker said the
Brevard County sheriff's office re-
ported the man walked into a
hoiH. on Merritt Island, found a
housewife alone and at the point
of gun attacked her about 2 pm.
Whether the woman actually was
raped was not determined, Baker
said, adding she was hysterical
from the ordeal and unable to tell
exactly what happened.
Car Described
H. T. Williams, Brevard County
sheriff, could not be reached. He
was out looking for the man who

colored Buick.
At Davenport, a pretty 19-year-
old Orlando girl visiting relatives
reported she was stopped by a
man in a Buick car and asked
for directions. When she walked
toward the automobile the man
drew a gun and said ..This is a
stickup." Sheriff Gordon said the
man tried to force her into his
car but drove away when she
screamed.
The Aug. attack at Titusville
was made by a man who drove
by in a Buick asking directions,
then forced two young women into
his car. He held a gun on one
woman while he raped the other.
Officers from Brevard, Orange,
Polk, Osceola and Lake counties
participated in the search.

A Navy chief who was

he didn't know where he was

"Gouche thought he was IL years

son said. .
meanwhile, Capt. c. L. Murphy
chief of staff and Public Imorma-

are investigating the case.
The Gouche case is but one on

startling detection to the East.
For West Germany's enemies
throughout the world, John is now
supplying fresh propaganda
charges that the Bonn government
is Nazified and menace to peace.
For Soviet spy chiefs. John is a
potential gold mine of information
about Western security agents.
He is the man who went to din
ner in Washington just two months
ago with Allen Dulles, director of
the us. Central Intelligence Agen-
cy, and who conferred with FBI
Chief ]. Edgar Hoover and high
American military officers at the
Pentagon. US. officials insist he
was told nothing of great impor-
tance but have not minimized the
seriousness of his detection.
John has imperiled public con-
fidence in the wisdom and honesty
of Bonn cabinet ministers who
claimed up to the hour of his SEN
sational press conference yester-
day that he was the victim of a
Red plot.
Bad For AdenaUer
Johns detection and the out
break of labor strife couldn't have
come at a worse psychological mo-
ment for West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's regime.
The nation already was edgy,
waiting for France to make up its
mind after two years and three
months of vacillation whether to
ratify or junk the European Army
Treaty signed on May q. 1852.
No Western statesman is sure

what will be the French National
ASSembly'S verdict - scheduled to
come this month - but on it hangs
the fulfillment or reputation of
the Allies joint promise to grant
the Germans sovereignty and well
come them as comrades in arms
in Western Europe's defense. The
United States and Britain say they
will 60 ahead with their plan for
Germany, even without France,
but that would mean still more
delay.
The John case has done the Eu-
ropean army no good.
Charges Hurt
His charges that former Nazi
politicians are back in office at
Bonn and former Nazi generals
are welding public influence are
what the French parliamentary
foes of EDO want to hear.
His additional remarks that EDO
would doom Germany to remain
divided and would put the Ger
mans into the front line in an
American war on Russia stress
what West German opponents of
edo fear too.
So tired, 78-year-old Adenauer,
now trying to get a few days of
rest in the Black Forest will face
more worries than before when
he returns to Bonn.
Evidence is growing in West
Germany that Russia has begun
to play new and stronger hand

President Says
Future Looks
Bright In us.
Halt Claimed In
Recent Economic
Decline I'm Nation

WASHINGTON R-President Ell
senhower declared today that the
overall performance of the Amer
lean economy since his admins
tration took over "has been better
than during any earlier time"
1.-THE paramount fact -. is that
the recent decline in economic
activity has come to a halt" the
President said at another point in
report on the state of the
nations economic health at mid
year.
And he listed signs which he said
point out bright prospects for the
future.
Eisenhower's survey in this con-
greSsional election year amounted
to reply to Democratic critics
who have contended that the Re-
publican administration is breed
ing unemployment and leading the
nation into depression.
There appears no doubt that both
sides will draw heavily on the
report for ammunition in the up
coming vote battles.
Eisenhower noted the criticism
in general terms and went on to
say that "the recent economic
decline, on an overall basis, has
been very small"
Price Increases
He also declared:
l. Price increases during the
first six months of this year were
tiny and-if developments such
as bargain sales are taken into
account-"we can surely say, with.
out the slightest fear of contradic.
ton, that the value of the peoples
money has remained entirely in.
tact"
2. "The increase in wageS-whicf
is one of the principal expressions
of the progreSsiveness of the
American economy has continued. -
3. Unemployment is greater now
than during the Korean War, but
''in recent months has not beer
larger than during comparable
months in 1949 and 1880" The
President added that the rate Of
unemployment "has shown some
tendency to diminish of late" and
said 'this is one of the numerous
! signs of economic. improvement
4. One reason for the criticism
of the recent record is that "this
rather minor decline has been
better advertised than many ma.
jor declines in our past
Activity High
The Eisenhower report said
economic activity in the first hall
of this year, even though behind
that of the year before, has beer
higher than at any time before
this administration assumed re-
sponsibility."
Then the President declared:
And since 1853 was a Still-bettel
year than 1854 is turning out tC
be, it follows that overall per
formance of the American econo
my thus far during this admins
tration has been better than during
any earlier time"
Eisenhower said 1852 was the
best year before his regime tool
