I ECnowland in Florida Primary action Relieved Imminent Washington (U.PJ The im minent entry of Senate Republi can Leader William F. Knowland in the' Florida presidential' pri mary will put him in approxi mately 5Vi primaries as a still unannounced candidate for the presidency. Associates of the California senator said today they expect to hear this week that he has been entered in the May 29 GOP presidential primary in Florida. Democratic Entries On the Democratic side, Adlai E. Stevenson, 1952 presidential nominee, and Sen. Estes Kefau ver of Tennessee were entered yesterday in the Florida primary. This is one of four states in which there will be Stevenson-Kefau-ver contests. Knowland has refused to share the belief of many fellow Repub licans that President Eisenhower will seek a second term. Hence he has backed into the 1956 cam paign by letting his name go into Ike's Former Teacher Honored Atlantic City, N.J. 4U.ri An 83-year-old retired teacher who drilled President Eisenhower in his ABC's in Abilene, Kan., more than 50 years ago, was praised Tuesday night by her most famous pupil for her life long service to education. - Miss Addie B. Over, known to the President and her other for mer pupils as "Miss Addie," was awarded a gold key for her con tributions to education and parti cularly for having been Mr. Ei senhower's favorite teacher. Because she is still recovering from a bout jth the flu a month ago, Miss Addie was unable to make the trip to Atlantic City to receive her award. The Presi dent, who is resting in Georgia, also was unable to be here for the first Golden Key Dinner, sponsored by six national organi rations representing 12 million teachers, parents and school offi cials. But Mr. Eisenhower sent a message of praise. "Miss- Addie B. Over and teachers like her are best por trayed, I think, by the phrase 'they care,"' the President wrote. a number of state presidential primaries. . If Mr. Eisenhower should with draw, none of these primaries would provide a clear test be tween Knowland and other po tential GOP candidates. The California senator has been entered in the Illinois, Alas ka and : Pennsylvania primaries in each case with Mr. Eisen hower as the only other Repub lican candidate on the ballot. All three primaries are "popularity contests" which do not bind Na tional Convention delegates elected separately. Deadline Passed v. Since the deadline for entering all three has passed, no other candidate can get into them if Mr. Eisenhower should with draw. Knowland also was entered against Mr. Eisenhower in the March 20 primary in Minnesota, another state in which the filing deadline has passed. Minnesota elects slates of pledged National Convention delegates, and nei ther the Eisenhower nor Know land slate can be withdrawn after next Saturday. Like Minnesota, Florida elects pledged delegates to the National Convention. Minnesota will have 28 delegates and Florida 26. Although Knowland was not entered as a .full-blown candi- IN THE RIGHT - Hartford, Conn.

Twin Boys Face Death Sentence Wheeling, Va. flJ.R) Tommy and Joseph Williams, 14-year-old identical twins who face a possible death penalty as a re sult of their indictment on mur der charges, today calmly await ed their arraignment by reading comic books and working jig saw puzzles. The brothers were indicted by an Ohio county grand-jury yesterday in the bludgeon slay ing of nine-year-old Cub Scout David Powell. The twins, lodged in county jail, will appear for arraignment tomorrow before intermediate court judge David A McKee. , The Powell boy was beaten with a piece of two-bv-four board and slashed with a knife Feb. 9 while canvassing neighbors near his Wheeling Island home to sell tickets to a Cub Scout benefit . show. His body was found the next' day-1 beneath a porch of the Williams' home. .The twins, good looking boys with crew haircuts, have denied any connection with the slaying. They could be sentenced to elec trocution -if a trial judge finds them guilty of first degree mur der and fails to recommend mercy. datein the New Hampshire pri mary as was Mr. Eisenhower, a partial slate of Knowland dele gates will be on the ballot. Knowland also intends to en ter the Wisconsin and. California primaries if there is ho decision from Mr. Eisenhower by the March 2 and March 7 deadlines, respectively, for the two states. Bombs and Shells Used To BreakUp Europe Ice Jams London (U.R) Men and gov ernments resorted to bombs and shells today to free themselves from the paralyzing grip of ice jams caused by the bitter cold of Europe's worst winter of the century. But in freeing the continent's rivers of ice packs, the danger of floods and avalanches was increased and further death and damage was threatened. Food, Clothing Dropped As planes dropped food and clothing to people in isolated towns and villages . in the 17 countries affected by the Siber ian freeze, the death-toll since Feb. 1 rose to 808 persons. In Yugoslavia, Air Force planes dropped bombs on ice packs yesterday in an effort to get Serbian rivers back into their ice-blocked channels. Along the Danube, the Yugoslav Army fired artillery shells into ice for mations in efforts to break mountainous ice jams. Flood threats grew. , Would Endanger Houses Elsewhere along the Danube in Germany near Passau, U.S. Army Engineers checked the ice and told German officials it would be impossible to blast a path with dynamite without en dangering houses on the river bank. . . i At least six houses collapsed and 19 others were evacuated following landslides and ava lanches in various parts of Italy. One huge slide along the Adria tic Coast threatened 150 houses. &mM'-Mm!wmmmiiU'' tjf -m mi" j""""w' m Wif''- ' ""si '' ' ' ' "Tj , Wednesday.

Dis trict Judge William East ruled yesterday that the Federal Court has no jurisdiction of a picket ing dispute at Newport between labor unions and lumber comp anies. The ease was remanded to the Lincoln county Circuit Court. Lumber companies had brought suit against a teamsters local and a longshoremen's lo cal seeking an injunction to pre vent picketing of dock facilities used by the plaintiffs. Circuit Judge. Fred McHenry issued a temporary restraining order and set a hearing for Feb. 23. The unions had asked the Federal Court to intervene. Britons Rebel Against Eden's Handling of Economic Problems London U.R) British busi nessmen and labor unions re belled today against Prime Min ister Anthony Eden's handling of Britain's steadily deepening economic crisis. Eden won a vote of confidence along strict party lines in the House of Commons Tuesday night (325 to 259) butthe angry debate preceding the vote made it clear new opposition was boil ing Hp." ' v Attack on Government The Trades Union Congress, (TUC) roughly equivalent to the American AFL-CIO, called a meeting"- today to complete its attack on government handling of the crisis. - Protests came from big busi ness represented by Sir Bernard Docker and from small business represented by R.' R. Goding, a television dealer who announced he would ignore new governr ment austerity actions taken to curb inflation. The Church Times, an unoffi cial publication of the Church of England, said the Eden gov ernment gave "every impression of being unable or unwilling to cope with the situation" and . as serted, "if it cannot govern, it must go." , A special .economic committee of the TUC met Tuesday night, and informed sources said it i agreed to drive home to the gov ernment the necessity of pro tecting the nation's low income group from "unequal and un necessary"' sacrifices to bolster the economy. Little Man Hurt Many of Chancellor of the Exchequer Harold MacMillan's answers to the economic crisis have hit the little men where it hurts. These include increased bread and milk prices and stsep increases in down payments on cars and television sets. The TUC Wants the govern ment to drop sales taxes on such items as kitchen utensils, and it disapproves of the new bread and milk prices. Bread now is about ten cents a loaf and milk; about 20 cents a quart, but ave rage workers incomes are much lower than those in the United States. The Canary Islands were named for their many large dogs' (Latin cards). The canary bird took its name from this ar- . chipelago, now part of Spain.
