Copyright 1955 by The New York Daily News. BY JESS STEARN Ava Gardner, estranged but still married to Frank Sinatra, is already thinking of a fourth husband. That man could be Howard Hughes, the millionaire industrialist, who significantly, is the only male in her life that the outspoken Hollywood bdauty won’t talk about. There are many indications of a close relationship. Hughes, it is known, recently advised his Reno attorneys to help Ava with her scheduled Nevada divorce. And when Ava and her sister, Beatrice, a constant companion, shipped out for Miami on the first leg of Ava’s recent South American tour, he re portedly flew them in his private plane from Nevada’s Milden Air port and then did the spots with Ava in Miami and Nassau. An inveterate batchelor, Hughes, at 48, is even the right age for her, according to some revised reckon ing by a maturing 31-year-old Ava. “I think,” she declares firmly, “that my next husband will toe at least 45.” ACQUAINTED SINCE HER 1943 DIVORCE Hughes, moody head of RICO, has been resisting a Hollywood marriage (Continued On Page Poor) Mr. and Mrs. Ten Starling and son Webb of M/unt Gilead, and Mr. and Mrt.

IIP) A 44- year-old salesman and his pretty young wife were behind bars today after a judge ordered them held without bail on charges of sadism and torture involving the man’s 14-year-old daughter. Ex-convict Francois Desnoyers and his attractive wife Therese, 23, a former waitress, were ac cused of "wounding with intent to maim.” “It is one of the most sordid cases vof child mistreatment to come to our attention,” Sgt. Roland Courtemanche said. Courtemanche said the Desnoy ers fed the youngster dog-meat, tortured her wfl' cigarette burns, slashed her hair and kept a tight band around her chest “to turn her into a boy.” Desnoyers was sentenced to 10 years in 1940 when he was convict ed of a charge that he lured a woman to his flat and kept her prisoner there for three weeks.

C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 21, 1955 Ike Is Still Popular But Faces Hurdles WASHINGTON (IP) Dwight David Eisenhower passed the half-way mark of his first presidential term, still popular but with the most difficult years now up on him. He is armed to meet them with a new skill in politics and a new He can count his first two years as successful, although the payoff still is to come. The measure of success lie in the considerable de gree of personal prestige which he has retained since his inauguration on Jan. 20, 1953, and in the attitude of Democrats toward him. Democrats generally regard Mr. Eisenhower as the most formidable Republican opponent ranged again st them in nearly 30 years. Most would prefer to see some other Repuhjican nominated for presi dent in 1956. The President’s next two years in office will test severely the sta bility of his personal prestige and the wisdom of his political judg ment. The Eisenhower success story was cruelly marred last November by a hair-line shift of congressional control to the Democratic party. GOT MUCH FROM 83rd The Republican 83rd Congress gave Mr. Eisenhower much that he sought in his first two years, unual ly on a compromise basis. But the administration fairly can claim success on tax legislation, farm price .supports, St. Lawrence Sea way, subversive control, iforeign aid although somewhat reduced, atomic energy, and other such ma jor business. But some of the early Eisen hower program was too hot for the Republican 83rd to handle. It comes up now in the Democratic 84th Congress where, in general, the President must have Democratic votes to prevail. Mr. Eisenhower’s renewed request for increased postal rates is politically unpopular. His foreign trade program of reduced tariffs divides his own party and blazes with dispute. His health and welfare plans look New Dealish to conservatives and his revival of FDR’s dream of harnessing the enormous tides of Passamaquoddy especially distasteful to all con- Bay to produce electric power is gressional conservatives who helped cut that project down in the 19305. The Democrats have chosen public power and subversives control as major issues against the President. GOP DISUNITY IS HAZARD Division within the Republican party and a lack of standout mod erate progressive congressional spokesmen for the Eisenhower side are among the top hazards now confronting the President.

Fred Pal (Confined On Png* Me> Cannon Maps Plan* For Pepper Season Sweet red peppers will be canned for wholesale and-re tail again this year at Dunn by H. P. Cannon and Son, Bridgeville, Dela., canning concern, which operated in the Harnett County town last year for the first time. Roy Tew of Dunn, field manager in the Dunn area for the Cannon firm, gave this information today to Director Ben E. Douglas of the Department of Conservation and Development while on a visit here. Tew said J. W. Eckhardt of Brid geville, Dela., field manager for the Cannon company in its wide scale operations over the nation, was in Dunn Thursday morning to com plete plans for the coming year. The company, Tew told Douglas, plans to distribute from one and one-quarter to one and one-half red pepper plants among Dunn area* farmers, who will grow them under contract for the Cannon firm as they did last year. “We hope and expect to realize about 30.000 bushels of sweet led peppers for canning purposes,” Tew said. “We cannot say our first year’s operation was a success or not. The long drougnt hurt the quality of many of the peppers we had grown under contract last year. At the peak of our seasonal oper ations last year we provided jobs for about 100 workers.” Tew also said the Cannon com pany plans to grow 100 acres of string beans this year under con tract with ten farmers in the Durn section, with each farmer agreeing to grow ten acres more or less of beans. The beans will be trucked to the Cannon plant in Delaware for can ning. Tew said if the production of string beans this year is good there are indications the Cannon firm will add bean canning to their Dunn operations in 1956. Douglas told Tew "we are glad your fine company has decided to continue and possibly rvnnvid its operations in Ncrth Caio’.na an i help make further use of our fruits and vegetables.” Tempest Storm Is Incorporated SAN FRANCISCO Wt-Striptease artist Tempest Storm took out ar ticle* of Incorporation on Tempest Storm today.

Y llP'—Red China has agreed to let the families of 17 jail ed Americans visit them in Chinese prisons, the United Nations announced today Eleven of the prisoners are Am erican airmen jailed as “spies ’, two others are civilians also held as spies and the four others are air men shot down in separate engage ments during the Korean War. Families of the men generally gave a lukewarm reception to the invitation to visit them. In Washington, government offi cials said the United States could not guarantee protection to rela tives who go to Red China to visit the airmen. The immediate official United States reaction was to call again on Red China to release American prisoners it holds. “It is by releasing those they hold that the Chinese Communists can convincingly show concern for the human suffering they have cause,” a State Department spokesman said. The State Department did not sav immediately whether it would lift its passport ban against travel into Red China for them, but it said it cannot “in good conscience encourage” them to go. The U. S. does not recognize Red China and the State Department could not guarantee the travelers’ safety.
