Down ToReal
Politics Today
sy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Eisenhower buckled
down today to some frankly politi-
cal doings after an avowedly non
political speech last night in which
he declared his administration has
"come far" in its quest for lasting
world peace.
In the second and final day oi
a flying trip to Connecticut and
New York, the President planned
to visit the campaign headquarters
of Sen. Irving Ives, Republican
candidate for governor of New
York, and talk to more than SOC
campaign workers.
Later, he planned to confer with
Clifford p. Case, COP candidate
for the Senate in New Jersey. This
was regarded in advance as a re.
newed gesture of support for Case,
opposed by elements of his own
party who regard him as too lib
eral.
Address Tonight
Eisenhower is scheduled to de-
liver what is billed as another
''nonpolitical'' address tonight at
a New York dinner in honor Of
the late Alfred E. Smith, who ran
for president on the Democratic
ticket In 1928. The President is
due back at the White House to-
morrow morning.
Meanwhile. Vice President Nixon
was giving a helping hand to Jo-
sepb T. Meek, who is running in
Illinois for the Senate seat now
held by Democratic Sen. Paul
Douglas.
Other Democratic campaigners
were busy yesterday peppering the
Eisenhower administration and the
Republican congressional record.

Views OnSex
Are Probed In
JurySelection
Woman Is Named
AS Eighth Juror
For Sheppard Trial

CLEVELAND R-The eighth ju-
ror in the Sheppard murder trial
was picked today within an hour
of the start of the fourth days
session.
The eighth juror is Mrs. Bea-
trice Orenstein, wife of a postal
clerk. Her selection made the jury
roll at that point stand at four
men and four women.
Continuing the pattern of the first
three days, defense attorneys ham
mered at the jurors views on sex
as attempts were pressed to select
panel to try DR.. Samuel H.
Sheppard on a charge of beating
to death his pretty wife, Marilyn,
81, last July 4.
Qusstionsd On Stories
In questioning Mrs. Orenstein,
William j. Corrigan. chief defense
attorney, asked:
. do you remember reading n
the papers -. about a young lady
named Susan Hayes?"
= Then Corrigan asked whether
she had read articles concerning
a connection between the pretty,
authenticated technician and the
handsome Bay Village osteopath.
Again she said she had.
Finally Corrigan asked whether
she had read where "Susan Hayes
had revealed to a Press Cleveland
Press) reporter that she had had
ntlmacieS with Sam Sheppard"
She said she had read it.
Changes Tack
Corrigan dropped that line of
questioning and Mrs. Orenstein
was seated in the jury box soon
after she stated:
81 have already instructed my
family not to question me at all
about the case"
Corrigan and Fred W. Garmone,
another defense attorney, probed
the sex angle repeatedly in ques-
tloning prospective jurors yeste--
day.
Miss Hayes name came up at
one point in questioning by Gar
none of Mrs. Louise K. Feuchter,
eventually seated as a fifth juror.
Garmone asked Mrs. Feuchter
several questions about whether
she had seen published pictures
and stories about Miss Hayes, and
for the first time was not met
with objections from the prosecu-
ton and Judge Edward Blythin.
Intimaeies Brought Up
One of Garmone's questions was:
Susan Hayes made a state
ment to reporter during her trav-
els here from California about the
fact that she had been intimate
with Sam Sheppard. If you read
that quotation by Miss Hayes,
would that cause you to become
prejudiced?"
Mrs. Feuchter replied, 'No."
Later, Corrigan tried the same
line of questioning with another
prospective juror and was halted
by the judge.
Corrigan was outraged. He
whirled to face the Judge and
shouted at the top of his voice:
Il know they're going to bring
Susan Hayes into this courtroom. I
know what evidence they have.
know how. Susan Hayes has been
blasted in the papers,"

DAIRY FARMERS NEED LOW
COST, HIGH VOLUME

Failing milk prices may mean
the axe for dairy cows that aren't
paying their way.
Nov is the time to Gull out un-
profitable cows" advises w. T..
McAllister, extension farm econo-
mist at the University of Della
ware. "Some cows-even those
that made a profit in 1953-will be
headed for the market in 1854"
On the other hand, some farm
ers will find it to their advantage
to increase their herds even
though milk prices decline-add-
ing good cows to utilize land, lab
or, investment in machinery and
feed produced on the farm. Many
farmers can make better use of
their production facilities. They
can improve the quality of their
herds and pasture programs to
reduce the cost of producing milk.
The dairyman who has not been
able to show much profit in the
past year or SO probably won't

SPRING CLEANUP MAKES
FARMS SAFER

Next time you stroll in your
yard to see what's coming up,
make it a picking up" stroll too,
suggests George Vapaa, county
agent.
While you are getting ready to
plant the garden, take time to
clean up the debris that has ac-
cumulated-broken glass, rusty
cans, boards with nails, and other
junk. Also be sure that insecti-
cides are stored in safe place.
Many people do not realize that
these hazards along with tools,
bags of feed and buckets out of
place plus just common debris are
responsible for hospitalizing one
out of five accident victims. This
was shown by study conducted
by the National Safety Council.
They also found that the largest
single cause of injuries, other than
the personal factor of poor judg-
ment, is disorder.
A well-maintained farm doesn't
just happen, the agent stresses. It
takes hard work, careful planning
and cooperation of all the persons
who call it home. Even where
there is a place for everything and
everything is always kept in place,
a thorough spring cleanup is
needed.
Such a program will pay divid'
ends in several ways. If you do a
ship-shape job you can lessen the
fire hazards, cut down your chance
of accidents and promote the well.
being of farming in general. A
little paint, lot of elbow grease
