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 : .

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.
The action made final the pro
posal announced by the commis
sion earlier this year to adopt the
color telecasting standards pro
posed by the national television
system committee.
The NTSC color plan will be
come available for commercial
use three days after publication
of today's order in the Federal
Register, the government's 'bul
letin. This publication probably
will be sometime next week.
Response Coiled Good

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.

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.
Library Drops
Obscene Books
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Dec. 16 (IF)
—After protests that some books
were salacious and obscene; the
Illinois state library today dis
closed that about 500 titles have
been withdrawn in a move now
disputed.by the state official who
issued the original order.
A statement from the office "of
Secretary of Sta t e Charles F.
Carpentier, who - is state librarian
by virtue of his office, said the
extent of the withdrawal of books
was "overzealous" and tends to
make his intention "appear ri
diculous."
The list included works of Sin
clair Lewis, John Dos Passos, Er
skine Caldwell and Mickey Spil
lane.
Quarterdeck Officers
The Quarterdeck Society . re
cently elected Robert Piper, com
mander; George , Fitting, vi c e

CHICAGO, Dec. 17 (IP) = The
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion went on record today for eli
mination of present mandatory
high level farm price supports at
the end of 1954 and for use of
flexible price floors, thereafter.
It also unanimously re-elected
Allan B. Kline, lowa farmer, as
president for his fourth two-year
term. Kline has been a critic of
high supports.

annual convention rejected by
voice vote a proposal by Ten
nesse delegate Harry Lane of
Lewisburg, that the federation
ask Congress to extend the high
supports through 1956. •
In convention resolutions the
farm organization said that farm
ers should seek, with government
aid, to get favorable returns by
rebuilding shrinking foreign mar
kets and by developing new ones
at home to absorb surplus produc
tion which is now bearing down
on prices.

On the first ballot the voting
was scattered indecisively among
14 men. On the second, with the
field whittled down to four men,
Premier Joseph Laniel, wealthy
industrialist, ran second; Yvon
Delbos, a pre-war Foreign min
ister of the Radical Socialist mod
erate party, ran third; and For
eign Minister Georges Bidault, of
th Catholic Popular Republican
party, fourth.
These were the only four can
didates on the second ballot; but
the parliamentarians nevertheless
gave a few scattered votes to oth
ers, including two to the present
Socialist President, Vincent Aur
iol, and six to Gen. Charles de
Gaulle.
The Communists threw their
votes to Naegelen on the second
ballot because, they said, "he has
Stated his opposition to the Euro
pean army." •
/President Vincent Auriol, 69,
could have the job again simply
by nodding his head, .but insists
he wants to step out at the end of
his term Jan. 16.
As a name was called, the mem
ber was given a small brass ball
and this, together with his ballot,
later was handed to the parlia
mentary staffer guarding two
great green urns. Into one went
the brass token, into another the
ballot. The number of balls must
match the number of ballots.
On the first ballot, 928 valid
votes were cast. The majority
needed for election was 465.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'7 (W)—
The Army announced tonight the
first Nike anti-aircraft guided
missile battery is being installed
at Ft. Meade, Md.—obviously to
provide protection for the nation's
capital, Baltimore and industrial
military targets in the surround
ing area.
It said the Nike system, to be
extended to other vital areas of
the east and west coasts and the
northern half or the nation, "will
provide defended areas with a
far greater degree of anti-aircraft
protection than was ever before
possible with the more limited
ranges and altitudes of conven
tional anti-aircraft guns."

prisoner is free to do likewise.
Kim said he crawled through
barbed wire in order to escape a
camp where leaders brandished
crudely made knives to keep all
men in line. .
United Nations officers viewed
Kim's account with some degree
of skepticism, saying if Kim
could get out so could others.
