Fighters Will
 Accompany J. s. Far East Patrols

WASHINGTON, tR - Navy jet fighters equipped with deadly ac- curate sidewinder missiles will accompany future reconnaissance flights in Far Eastern interna- tional waters, Congressional sources reported yesterday.
 Members of the House Appro- priations Defense Subcommittee disclosed the plans after secret huddle with naval officials. The meeting was called as a result of an attack by Comunist planes on a naval patrol plane over the Sea of Japan Monday.
 The informant said the patrol plane was unable to fight back because most of it's armament had been replaced by reconnaissance equipment.
 Senators have demanded that steps be taken to see to it that no American plane again is de- fenseless.
 Our planes should be fully armed and have their guns ready to fire if they are attacked" Sena- tor Styles Bridges said. 'We are going to investigate this situation and see what can be done about making certain that our men can fight back immediately if they are fired on."

'Superman' Suicide

HOLLYWOOD, RETelevision's Superman shot and killed himself yesterday, leaving no clue to his motive, only moments after his fiancce had a premonition of his death.
 Police Sgt. V. A. Peterson told of the suicide and it's strange prelude.
 Peterson said actor George Reeves fiancee, Lenore Lennon, 35, and three other persons were in Reeves house.
 Miss Lennon and a writer, Rob- ert Condon, 45, were house guests.
 The fiancee told police that she and Reeves and Condon had re- tired to their respective bedrooms at about 12:30 am. But about two hours later two of Reeves friends appeared at the house and aWak-
 
 ened Reeves.
 Investigators said the 45-year- cid actor became angry because of the lateness of the hour, but apol- ogized almost immediately after a short argument. He then exc cused himself and retired for second time.
 Miss Lemmn said when Reeves left to go to his second-story bed room she jokingly remarked. well, he'll probably shoot himself" A drawer was heard to open, and she remarked. "Well, he's getting a gun"
 Then a shot was heard. Reeves had killed himself with a bullet in the temple from 30 caliber Luger pistol.
 The investigators said from her story they believed Reeves might have been upset because people wouldn't leave the house. |

He was fearful the Demo-

a candidate who represented an
opposite philosophy and he had
been told that only he could be
assured of winning in 1856.
Looking back on his decision
to run for a second term, it can
be said he is glad none of sew

presidency. (This writer does
not know what people he has
in mind)
But Mr.. Eisenhower feels
deeply disappointed by the diff
f1cultty and failure to work out
any significant redress Of ball
snce of Federal and State func-
tons. which he tried to initiate
at a conference Of Governors.
He found that the Governors
talked loudly Of wanting to re-
capture States rights. but were
reluctant to do anything about
it because they were unwilling
to take on the burden of higher
State taxes that might be in
