said Moravia, referring to such

“A pin-up Is an ideal woman,”
he said. “The vamp is essentially
a frigid woman. She is 'stronger

of riddle inside a “famine fatale.”
The differences of character be

vamp was pictured as a woman of
pride with dark eyes of deep sad

generally photographed with their
lips happily parted in a smile,
while their eyes speak more of
acceptance than pride.

DUNN, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 27, 1955
Ike's, Illness
Expected To
Benefit Adlai 5
WASHINGTON (IP)—Some
Democratic-campaign strat
egists predicted today that
President Eisenhower's ill
ness will boom Adlai E. Ste
venson’s presidential chanc
es and help the party keep
control of Congress.
They gave their predictions pri
vately. •
Their appraisals were based otV
strong convictions that Preside#
Elsenhower’s heart seizure flfc
matter how mild it may be wjp
prevent his being a candidate nagt
fall.
With President Eisenhower q)ut]
of the running, these Democratn
strategists said some potential Re*l
publican candidates for the House,
and Senate will be reluctant to taWu
on Democratic incumbents. And
GOP candidates who do run will
be unable to do so on the popular
President's coattails.
TOP CONTENDER
As for Stevenson, these strate
gists see him in the role of a top
contender who lost one decision to
the champion. Before the Preri*
dent’s illness some Demtocrafle
leaders were leary of sending (lie
same contender into the ring for a
rematah with the same champion,
i (these infwßkwrta believe-
But the withdrawal of the cham
pion • regarded as certain be
cause of the President’s heart seiz
ure leaves Stevenson as th* man
to beat, they said.
These Democrats, party profes
sionals who have not been Steven
son boosters, also are of the opinion
that Ihe President’s illness may,
by stressing the back-breaking phy
scial demands of the presidency, do
some harm to the ambitions of New
York Gov. Averell Harriman. They
point out that Harriman is only &
year younger than the President.
The strategists made some reser
vations in their appraisal of Stev
enson’s chances. Sen. Estes Ke-i
fauver (D-Tenn.) probably will I
conuduct a vigorous fight in pre -
convention preferential primaries;
across the nation to establish him
self as* the jjeople’s choice for the
Democratic nomination.
Candidate Field
They also said the field of pos
sible candidates is bound to in
crease with President Eisenhower
on the sidelines.

Taken After Slaying
FAYETTEVILLE (IP) Three youthful desperadoes
from Kentucky were captured in a hastily formed police

State police spotted the trio’s get
