Wednesday, he will be sworn in as the representative in Congress for the 26th California District.

He quit for an unsuccessful try for state attorney general. “Jimmy” told a reporter his main interests in Congress will be in the fields'of education, labor and foreign affairs. There’s a lot of interest In his Los Angeles dis trict In foreign policy, he said, and he will be “active on that.” “But that doesn’t mean I’m go ing to make a lot of speeches on the floor,” he said. “That will have to wait.” Roosevelt was denied support by the Democratic National Commit - tee in his election campaign be cause of his widely publicized mar ital difficulties. "Florida and Bermuda are going to be terribly crowded,” he said. Hem skid he would have ino mer cy on prominent persons in finance, business and the movie industry whose names were understood to have been listed at Jelke’s first trial. That trial was voided last Friday by the Court of Appeals on grounds press and public had besp barred during the testimony.

C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 4, 1955 Benson Wants Authority To Cut Parity WASHINGTON (IP) Ag ricultural Secretary Ezra T, Benson thinks Congress should give him authority to lower farm price supports to 75 per cent of parity. Benson asked the last Congress for authority to reduce supports to 75 per cent of parity if he felt such action necessary. But Congress granted him authority to set sup ports at anywhere from 82 1-2 to 90 per cent of parity. - The secretary said last night on a radio program- that he believes the Democratic - controlled Con gress will make some effort to re turn to fixed price supports at 90 per cent of parity. He said he hopes such a move will be defeat ed and the flexible price support program be given a good trial. “We have had a very stable per iod m agriculture for the last couple of years, and we anticipate that in 1955 farm prices will re main close to the level of the latter part of 1954,” he said. WANTS MORE COTTON WASHINGTON IIP) Sen. James O. Eastland said today he and Sen. Lister Hill will offer legislation to raise the national cotton acreage allotment to 19 1-2 million acres this year and restore the former five-acre minimum allotment. ' Eastland (D-Miss) and Hill (D- Ala* said In a statement that lack of the five-acre minimum, which was in the naw until this year, works “an undue hardship on thou sands of small cotton farmers.” VISIT PARENTS Mrs. Jack Lee Stewart and daugh ters, Sheila and Susan of Buie’s Creek and Winston-Salem left via Capital Air Lines January 1 for Huntsville, Alabama, where they are visiting Mrs. Stewart’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.

February led all other months In the number of trials, with 191, and March was close with 187. June trailed all the other months with only 56 cases. February also set something of a record as exactly 100 speeding cases were tried that month. Most of these cases originated from the highway patrol’s “speed clock” op erations in the area. Motor vehicle violations led the parade into Benson’s court, as 352 speeders were tried, along with 90 for improper passing, 96 for careless smd reckless driving and 66 for + Record Roundup NSW AD SERIES—The First Cit izens Bank and Trust Co. of Dunn today is beginning In The Daily Re cord an outstanding series of ad vertisements which will be of great public interest The ads published as a public service, not only ptitti ciae the may fie services rendered by the hanking Institution, but also give helpful information to the public on such important matters as tha making of wills, settling, of estates, (be importance of savings < and other financial subjects vital to all persons.

Westbrook of Dunn, president of the Ca rolina Broadcasting Co., owner of Greenville television station WNCT-TV, today branded as “completely untrue” reports that negotiations are underway for sale of the station. The company only recently turn ed down a $1,087,000 offer from Winston-Salem Broadcasting Co. for 80 per cent of WNCT-TV hold ings. Reports had been circulated that officials of the company have been negotiating with the Durham Life Insurance Co., owner of Radio Sta tion WPTF at Raleigh, for sale of the company, but Westbrook said there is absolutely no foundation for these reports. Westbrook, former Dunn mayor and (prominent Dunn business man, declared: "NOT INTERESTED” “Personally speaking, I am not interested in selling to anybody and I am confident that a majority of the other stockholders feel the same way.” Mr. Westbrook and members of his family own controlling interest in the television station. He pointed out that 40 per cent of the stockholders voted against selling, to the Winston-Salem firm and 13 per cent did not vote at all, which made a majority of 53 per cent against selling. President Westbrook said he and other stockholders were well pleased with the success and pro gress being made by the large East ern Carolina television outlet. Dr. Sheppard Loses Round In His Fight For Freedom CLEVELAND (IP) Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard’s sole hope to escape a life sentence for the slaying of his wife appeared today to be on the grounds of new evidence.. Judge Edward Blythin turned down two defense requests for a new trial Monday and said the Bay Village osteopath had been afford ed “a fair trial by •>n um-sr-Uy in telligent and Impartial jury.” But the judge went ahead with plans to hear on Saturday a third motion based on the defense claim that new evidence has been uncov ered. Dr. Sheppard, who was convicted of second degree murder In the July 4 slaying of his pregnant wife, will remain in the county jail here until after t)ie Saturday hearing. If It is delayed or denied he proba bly will be transferred to the State Penitentiary at Columbus to start serving his sentence.

Astor said the report he has countered Mrs. Dolores Dolly Full ' man Astor’s request for $500,000 [ with an offer of $41,000 is untrue. “I have made no offer and will make no offer,” he said. “I did give her approximately $20,000 in money : and jewels. That is more than she : is entitled to.” Astor last Friday filed a counter : suit far divorce or annullment. ; In his suit he charged Dolly had 1 posed as a “white flower of purity” . .and with the aid of her parents “shoved him” into marriage with “greed in her heart.” I The attractive blonde sued him l for divorce last Nov. 22 because Os something “so intimate in na ture,” she said, she didn’t want to tell about it. the end of 10 years. SUBMIT 46 INSTANCES In Monday’s proceedings, de fense counsel William J. Corrigan submitted 40 alleged errors In one motion and added another which l was classified as a supplemental 1 motion by the judge. l Judge Blythin, in a memoran dum filling 15 typewritten pages, eliminated one by one the claimed 1 errors which involved such matters : as news coverage, jury handling , and oourt procedure. The lengthy ’ rebuttal rejected the alleged er . rors with such terse comments as • “no facts,” “indefinite warding,” | and NO. 21 Plans Appeal To Little Man Os Nation WASHINGTON (IP) Pre sident Eisenhower is man - euvering to seize the politi cal offensive from Democrats in the 84th Congress and to keep it as the session un folds. The Eisenhower fan club around town is betting on Ike. The E-F-C is prejudiced and their bets don’t guarantee that the President will get away with it. But it is a fact that Mr. Eisen hower is adjusting himself to big league politics. The magazine “Newsweek” in its Jan. 10 issue has a run down on White House poli tics devoted largely to identifying and estimating the horsepower of the President’s political advisers. The magazine quotes an unidenti fied Republican veteran like this: “Ike’s a natural-bom politician— potentially as good as Franklin D. Roosevelt. He gets along with peo ple instinctively.” The judgment continued that the President frequently had been slow to reach decisions but that they were sound politically when finally made. Practice is quickening Mr. Eisenhower’s political reflexes. GO FOR “LITTLE MAN” A presidential decision now fixed •firmly past all modification is that the Republican party must make a more direct appeal to the so called little man. That was FDR’s major stock in trade and his most valuable asset. Mr. Eisenhower plans to make it his asset, too. FDR told millions that they were “ill-housed, ill-fed and 111-clothed’’ and kept right on punching with promises to do things big and im portant about it. ‘ ' President Harry S. Truman, pro bably the best politician of the lot, carried on likewise, but slugging roughly where FDR daintily boxed Mr. Eisenhower is more in the Roosevelt pattern, a charmer with a snide plus determination to per suade some millions of little fel lows who marched under the Roosevelt and Truman banners that they would be better off now in the Republican parade. That will be quite a chore because Mr. Eisen hower also is committed to a com paratively sound or hard—mon ey program designed to check in flation and to an agricultural pol icy which unquestionably will re duce farm subsidies. But watch for the President’s recommendations for higher mini mum wages, extended Social Secur ity, government aid in housing, fed eral support of medical insurance— and such-like. Most of these to their infancy were the bright ban- I Continued on Page Two) Santa Claus Gets Fine For Larceny IOWA CITY, lowa <W Santa Claus was fined sl7 Monday for. petty larceny.

NEWS COVERAGE DEFENDED i Judge Blythin held that “finch . exposure to public attention are i not matters of prejudice, for cm l against, either the state or defen dant. but matters of news into(spt . to newspapers.” / He noted the care attracted both I national and international attsa s tion but pointed out that “the to ; fendant and his chief counsel win 7 more gracious totojr-J^K 5 was the court.” “ “NO CONNECTTOgP*
