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-

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.

Newport Labor Dispute Remanded to Lower Court
Portland (U.R) U. S. 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.
