Exciting Story
OF Magician Is
Due Ait Monroe

The lifre story of Harry Houdini,
the greatest daredevil of all time
and certainly the most fabulous
personality of his era, has intri-
gued motion picture producers for
two decades. Now George Pal has
made this fantastic mans life
story into dazzling, amazing
Technicolor film. Entitled ''Houdi-
MI" and released by Paramount,
it is due to open Thursday at the
Monroe Theatre.
Starring Tony Curtis as Harry
Houdini and Janet Leigh as his
wife Bess, with Torin Thatcher as
the famous escape artists loyal as
sistant, the film picks up young
Houdini doing a double act as a
magician and a wild man in a New
York street sideshow. In walks
Bess aud H0udini promptly falls in
love with her. After a brief, tender
and often hilarious courtship they
are married.
Although the spotlight is on the
suspense generated as Houdini il
illustrates his extraordinary agility
in escaping from manacles, strait
jackets and other seemingly es-
cape proof incarcerations, there is
engendered in Houdini's life story
a wonderful and tender tale of love.

Plot Against
Eisenhower
is Described

NEW YORK IA Puerto Rican
Nationalist has testified that con-
spirators who masterminded the
shooting in Congress last March
also planned an attack on Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
The testimony was given by
Gonzales Lebron Sotomayor yes

Gambia who Lebron Sotomayor
said had told him of plans for
attacks on Congress, ''the Presi-
dency" and on Fernos Isern, resi-
dent commissioner for Puerto
Rico. The witness said this was in
November, 1858, when Gambia was
a Nationalist party leader in New

The Nationalist party seeks
complete independence for Puerto
Rico. This aim is opposed by the
majority of Puerto Ricans who
turned down an offer of independ-
ence and voted to become a COM

Lebron Sotomayor has pleaded
guilty to the charge of seditious
conspiracy and testified as a gov

in SIS, 200 bail pending sentencing.
He described himself as a former

she had been given special mis-
sion" which apparently involved tn
March l shooting.
She told him to 'tell her the
position of the party members in
Chicago because there was to be
instant use of various members
in Chicago and New York for at
tackS in various places in the
United States and said that IS was

Discussion Set
For Next Meeting

Police Chief B. G. Perez is to
be instructed by City Manager Vic
tor Lang to attend the next regu-
lar meeting of the city commission
in order to thresh out the matter
of wrecker service.
The problem has arisen from
complaints of Mrs. Frsnk Carahal-
10, garage owner, that police had
been calling the garage which was
assigned the city towing contract,
even when the owners of cars in
volved in accidents on the city
streets requested another service.
Mrs. Caraballo suggested adoption
of plan whereby towing business
be rotated between three local gar
ages.
At the meeting Of the city COM
mission last Tuesday night, which
was recessed until last night, the
city manager and police chief were
given instructions to make it clear
that car owners had a choice as
to which garage their cars would
be taken to.
AT last nights meeting, City Ma
nager Victor Lang reported that he
had taken this matter up with the
chief, who assured him the instruc-
tion was being followed.
Mrs. Caraballo appeared at the
meeting to inquire whether any
thing had been decided on her re-
quest for the rotation of the towing
work. Discussion of this suggestion
will be carried on at the next
meeting, with Chief Perez in atten-
dance to answer questions.

leod To Trouble

Kampala, Uganda - (ANP) -
The British government last week
took steps which one native lead
ed said might lead to violence
here.
The British ousted eight tribal
chief in Buganad province in its
latest move to suppress anti
British sentiment among natives
here.
Earlier the British, through its
colonial governor, Andrew Cohen.
had suspended three local news
papers and declared second state
Of emergency.
Trouble has been brewing in
this British protectorate since last
November when the British ousted
the Kabaka or king, Mutesa II, be-
cause of what they termed his in
sistence on independence for his
land.
In commenting on the latest
move Ignatius Musazi, president
of the Uganda National Congress,
said the custer of the chiefs was
yet another political blunder" by
Cohen, and limited that the Blu
gands people may have to use
violence to win their case.
The British colonial office ZAP
psrently intends to threaten, ar
rest. and deport the spokesman of
the people so that it may force
them to appoint a new kabaka"

Sex education never can come
too early, but very well too late
she said.
Children should receive sex edu-
cation before they are old enough
to go to school, as well as later in
the schools, Mrs, ottesen-Jensen
said
But often parents, too, must be
qualified and willing to teach their
offspring, she stated.
Social work In Sweden Is based
on the theory that prevention Is
better than cure"
She also outlined the steps ia
ken in 1880 to head off popula-
ton crisis.
A commission was set up which,
in turn. created a plan for sex edu-
cation and distribution OF birth
control information. This infor-
nation was given to all doctors,
medical students, nurses and mid
wives.
At these various birth control
centers throughout Sweden, mar
riage guidance clinics are oper-
ated at the ocnters.
Also at these ccnters tests are
given 10 women To determine II
they are pregnant OF not and sta
tistics have proven that 80 per

the tests were found not TO be
