For Murder COLUMBUS, Oa. Wl A white de partment sUre owner was being held without bond on a murder charge today In the pistol slaying of Dr. Thomas H. Brewer Sr., 61-year-old Columbus Negro leader. Solicitor Gen. John Land said a murder warrant was sworn out by Police Chief E. S. Moncrteff charg ing Lulco Flowers, 54. with murder. Land said Die case would be placed before a Muscogee County grand jury Feb. 25. The solicitor general reported witness said Brewer, a prominent New Meeting Desire Hinted LONDON 'UP) Russian leaders hope to enlist Prime Minister Anthony Eden's support for a new "Summit" conference with the United States when they visit here in April, it was reported today. Diplomatic dispatches from Mos cow said Communist boss N. s. Khrushchev and, Premier N. A. Bulganin also will make a firm bid for a "treaty of friendship and trade" with Britain. Official sources said the Soviet rulers will find Eden fully pre pared to meet their new diplomat ic offensive. The Prime Minister and Presi dent Elsenhower agreed at their meeting in Washington earlier this month on means of meeting any new "divide and conquer" ap proach from the Russians. They made it clear that Britain will make no deals during the Khrushchev- Bulganin visit that might weaken Anglo - American unity. Observers here said Foreign Minister V.M. Molotov's crvotlc week-end reference to "new oppor tunities tor oetter understanding" probably foretokens a' new at tempt to soften up the Western anti-Communist aliimmcnt. They said the "friendship and trade" proposal is a substitute for the non-aggression pacts Russia offered the United States, Britain ana nance earner mis mon h which were firmly rejected by the west. Adenauer Warns Free Demo Pary BONN, Germany M -Chancellor Konrad Adenauer threatened the rebellious free Democratic party last night with oaster from his Kovcrnment coalition in retaliation for the humiliating defeat they handed him In West Germany's richest state. The I'itjhiiht Free Democrats teamed up with the opposition Socialists in the rich Ruhr indus trial state of North Rhine-Westphalia to unseat Premier Kail Arnold, one of Adenauer's chief lieuteuarts. The vote on a non confidence motion yesterday was 102-96. Socialist Fritz Steinhoff replaced Arnold, a founder of the Christian Democratic party. The tight-lipped old Chancellor told the German Press Club last night it appeared impossible tha:, his Christum Democrats could con tinue to cooperate on a national level with a party opposing him on a state level. He said his party's national committee would examine the "impossible situation' Friday. Leaders of the Socialist-Free Democrat alliance in the Ruhr said they would expand their cam paign to end what they termed Adenauer's one-party domination of West Germany. Steinhoff said similar alliances might be formed to topple Christian Democrats iu other states. The defeat cost Adenauer his absolute two-thirds majority in the Bundesrat, upper house of Parlia-1 ment. It reduced from 26 to 21 his iron-clad voting strength in the 38 member house, elected by parlia ments of the nine states of West Germany. But he retains a bare two-thirds majority on foreign policy and de fense matters. The five represen tatives from Bavaria, controlled by an opposition coalition, are pledged to support him In those two key policy fields. The rising challenge to Aden auer's control comes as his gov ernment is preparing to push through new legislation to fulfill West Germany's pledge to raise a 500,000-man force for the North ! Atlantic Alliance. The North Rhine- Westphalia upset did not affect Adenauer's two-thirds control of lower-house Bundestag, but some ! of the rearmament bills must pass; the upper house by the same ma-: joiity to be constitutional. j fore he was shot to death in the office of the department store owned by Flowers. A pistol later was round in Brewer a pocket, Land said. Land quoted Flowers as admit ting in a statement that he snot Brewer. Brewer had "threatened to get" Flowers shortly before he entered Flowers office in the rear of the VitB Department Store, the solici tor general said. Land said apparently there was no connection between the slayint; and any activity of the National Awn. for the Advancement of Colored People, In which Brewer i was a leader. rf Ing from the bus boycott. The Rev. Mr. Abernathy said after the meeting, from which newsmen were barred, that Ne groes would gain virtually no con cessions and would have to "return to the buses with Increased fares besides (the single fare rote has eone up from 10 to IS cents during me Doycotcj. -we nave walked for U weeks In the cold and rain. Now the weather Is warming up. There fore, we will walk on until some better proposals are forthcoming from our city fathers." At the outset, the Negroes asked for "courtesy'- from bus drivers; "Ilrst come, first served" ar rangement with Negroes sealed from the rear toward the front. and employment of Negro drivers routes serving predominantly Negro areas. The protest against segregated bus transportation began Dec. 5 after a Negro woman. Mrs. Rosa Parks, was nrrested and fined $14 for refusing to move to the colored section of a bus. City and state laws require separate facilities on all public transportation. i Merty Meekle "let's see if r I HMt EVEEYTHINcr: FIRST - icY "WHArTOGOTIU.
