FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1953 Ike Pledges Cuts In Future Spending WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (IP)—President Dwight D. Eisenhower p..edged "further re duction" in government spending as he and Republican legislative leaders wound up to night their first round of conferences on the GOP program for the new Congressional open ing next month. The chief executive said, too, that "leaders of the Republican party will continue to present a successful, sound and productive program that will• serve` the welfare of 160 million Americans." Eisenhower put in a ten-hour day with members of his Cabinet, other key administration officials and Republican leaders of Con gress. He gave them an advance look at the program he, intends to present to Congress in January, with the emphasis today on the federal budget, the defense pro gram, foreign operations, absen tee voting for overseas service men, housing, labor law amend ments and extended coverage for the unemployment insurance pro : . gram Son Admits Poisoning Of Pa rents NEW YORK, Dec. 17 (2P)— A slender,. wastrel son was quoted tonight as admitting he murdered his parents in a deft toast of death with poisoned champagne cocktails. For four months the deaths were considered suicides. Bronx District Atty. George B. Deluca said 20-year-old Harlow Fraden cooked up the amazing death plot because, for years, his mother had accused him of sex perversion. ' However, a companion in the plot said the motive was money— a sizeable inheritance coming to Fraden. Young Fraden reportedly served a deadly potion of champagne and cyanide to his parents Aug. 19 in celebration of what was supposed to be his turning over a new leaf. He told his parents he finally was going to work— although he apparently had no intention of doing so. Deluca said Fraden's mother had chided him as abnormal "as long as he could recall, and be fore he knew anything about sex." "This he strongly resented," the district attorney said in a state- . ment. "Fraden further stated he did not kill his parents for per sonal gain because his parents gave him all the money he want ed." After the slaying, Fraden wept convincingly at the bier of his mother and father. Then he col lected the estimated $150,000 in heritance as their only child and blew a third of it in a wild spend ing spree. He posed as a million naire and wrote a lavish will dis posing of far more money than he had. FCC 'Approves Colter TV Plan WASHINGTON, -Dec. 17 (JP)— The Federal Communications Commission today formally ap proved a color television system which can be received in black and-white by existing TV sets.

Response Coiled Good In WDFM Ad Query Response has been good to the letter sent outby Station WDFM to campus organizations inform ing them of the use of the sta tion's facilities for advertising ac tivities, John Price, assistant manager, said yesterday. Letters sent to organizations expressed the desire of the sta tion to give free air time for the promotion of student activities. MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON Rues While he said nothing about prospects of budget balancing, the President said of the government's finances: "The fiscal outlook was for a continuation of the sub stantial progress this administra tion has already made in its re vision of the budget for fiscal 1954 that was prepared by the previous administration. In fiscal 1955, beginning next July 1, we will continue this progress by further reduction of new spend ing authority." Attending from Congress were Republican big guns of Senate and House and chairmen of com mittees concerned , with specific legislative items. Eisenhower had asked this morning that all the conferees', keep the discussions confidential. Therefore most congressional leaders left to .the President any disclosure of information. However, differences of opinion turned up among some of the leg islators on the prime problem of economy. The man who fires the starting gun to start all the money bills through Congress, Chairman John Taber (R-NY) of the House ap propriations committee, spoke up for cuts all "down the line." The chairman .of the House armed services committee, Rep. Dewey Short (R-Mo.). said there can be some saving but not too much. On the way out of the White House, Taber told reporters "it looks suspiciously like" the bud get may be balanced for the fiscal year beginning next July 1. This contrasted with, the view of Ei senhower, who has said he doesn't believe government income and spending can be balanced in the next fiscal year.
