Mother Confesses
Drowning Her Baby
MERRIFIELD, Minn.ttP)—Ayoung mother handed her
shoes to her two little daughters and then, taking her six
week-old baby in her arms, waded into Pellican Lake and
dropped the child into the water.
Sheriff Roy Wickland said the
mother; Mrs Archie Sanders. 27.
admitted what she had done when
the drowned baby’s body was found
washed onto the shore last night.
SPREAD KIDNAP ALARM
The mother had first spread an
alarm that the baby was kidnaped
from her basinet. But Wickland be
came suspicious because the moth
er was too calm and the two daugh
ters. aged 4 and 6. told him ,‘Mom
mle had taken them swimming.
Mrs Sanders became hysterical
as she told how she took little jen
et Ruth from the family car and
walked into the lake with her. The
two daughters, Sharon and Phyl
lis, stood on the shore holding their
mother’s shoes.
Members of the family said Mrs.
Sanders had been “depressed” since
Hie baby’s birth,
Mrs. Sanders’ tears when she fin
ally told the story were ‘‘the first
time she showed emotion since the
babv disappeared.” Wickland said.
SUSPICION OVER CALMNESS
It was Mrs Sanders calm atti
tude that aroused Wlckiand’s sus
icious and led him to search the
lake shore, he said.
“Most mothers get hpsterlcal. but
she wasn’t a bit hysterical,” he
said.
Wickland said Mrs Sanders told
him she carried the child to the
lake near her home and “dropped”
her. She then took a nap In her
house and finally went to her par
ents’ home -to give the kidnaping
alarm, he said.

Ike Is Proving
To Bo Most
Humble Chief
WASHINGTON (UP) A States
man long since dead once said
American presidents who were
shaved of a morning by a well
trained valet would be happier than
if they did the job themselves with
the new far.gled safety razor.
Behind that homely crack was
the idea that a man confronting
himself alone and face-to-face be.
fore the shaving mirror would be
likely to indulge in some very
realistic pondering as to his own
capacity as chief executive. The
job imposes terrifying resonsibii
ities.
Under the White House burden,
President Eisenhower probably Is
proving to be the most humble
Fi-esident of the 20th Century. For
mer President Truman experienced
months of publicly-expressed humil
ity aftter he succeeded FDR. That
faded with his 1948 give-em-hell
campaign.
FDR NOT HUMBLE
There was nothing humbled about
FDR, nor about the other Roose
velt who preceded him. President
Eisenhower’s predecessors were men
of great political ambition. It Is fair
to sn v that the President’s political
ambitions were forced upon him.
Measured against presidents of
the past 25 years, he is more like
Herbert Hoover than any other.
They equally were repelled by party
politics, eouaiiv dislike the puni
tive. rough-and-tumble by which
presidents must or should attempt
to exert leadership through patron
age manipulation and the like. And.
like ex-President Hoover, he was
not much of n politican when he
(imp to the White House.
Dwight D. Eisenhower is the first
truly military president since Grant
vet his philosophy of living and
acting his great office is heavily
toughed wth religion. Perhaps that
should be expected of a military
commander whom the tides sud
denly and unexpectedly favored for
landings both in Western Europe
and North Africa.
■Roeurrine often in the President’s
public and private remarks is an
aspiration to rise above party poli
tics to become In fact the Presi
dent of all the people. There was
more of that, however, in his first
vear than recently. But he has not
so far taken the line often followed
bv FDR which consigned an arbit
rary 10 per cent of the voters to
the bow-wows on the theory that
they actively and knowingly were
opposing the general welfare.

Top Designer <
Says Pants
Are Sexiest
ROME (UP- A top Italian
dress designer said today pants
are the sexiest things a woman can
wear,
“What’s more, stylish slacks have
come to stay as formal dinner at
tire,’ the designer, Marchese. Emilio
Pucci, known as Emilio of Capri
in the fashion world said, He will
leave for the United States this
week-end to receive the fashion
“Oscar’ of the Neiman-Marcus
department store of Dallas, Tex.
CURVE MAGNIFICENT
“The entire history of the fe
male curve, be it in dress or art,
shows that the angle is ugly and
the curve magnificient, he said,
Adding that ladies with curves
were mor well, ladies, than
those with angles. Therefore, men
have nothing to fear in ladies wea
ing pants in the family, he said.
“What makes a man look around
angles,” the designer said. "That’s
why style-curved slacks have an
advantage over skirts,”
Pucci, 39-year-old scion of an an
cient family of fighting Florentines
and a relative of Prince Yussu
poff, the man who killed Rasputin,
scoffed at the .theory that women
look best in skirts.
“The well-designed slack is noth
ing but a bundle of delectable
curves, one piled atop the other,”
he said. “Done with taste they are
ideal not only for freedom in loung
ing but also for formal dinner at
tire.”
But Pucci stressed he was not
talking about blue-jeans or sloppy
pants..,, t.
"The baggy pants and the sloppy
slack are just as bad as the badly
angled skirt,” he said.

Air Force headquarters announced
in Tokyo that Fifth Air Force

in Korea will be withdrawn and
Navy discuosure that long range
plans call for a gradual reduction
in strength of the Seventh Fleet.
Previous plans for early reduc
tion of the Seventh Fleet have been
held up however, because of Red

Family Trouble
Aired In Court
Five domestic cases took most of
the time in Dunn Recorders Court j
today as Judge H. Paul Strickland j
sentenced two husbands to prison

other to support his wife and five

them. He has been tried here
several times within the past three
years for assaulting his wife.
Mrs. Wood testified that she
was afraid to live with her husband
when he is drinking. Judge Strick
land said he thought 12 months

Parrish was charged with one
case of assaulting his wife, and
beat his wife again with a chair
in an attempt to get her to with
draw the first warrant.
Mrs. Parrish told the court that
her husband said, “I’m going to
kill you if you don’t take up the
papers.” She said this will be last
time—“l don’t Intend to live with
him any more.”
In each case Parrish drew 90
days for a total of six months in
