House correspondents, tonight in the Sheraton Park Hotel.—

Clothiers Hear Lehman
On U. S. Internal Crises 7
Senator Lehman, Democrat of
'New York, said today the Na
tion's greatest danger is “the
false but widely spread impres
sion that all is well with us at
home and abroad.”
Part of this false impression,
he said, is that the administra
tion has “found the keys to last
ing peace and permanent pros
perity."
The New York Senator ad
dressed the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers Union at its con
vention at the Sheraton Park
Hotel.
He said that in his judgment
the Nation's economy is far from
sound. But, he said, Government
leaders are saying “as little as
possible” about the economic
danger spots.
“They maintain what amounts
almost to a conspiracy of silence
about the segregation crisis,” he
continued. “They move with slow
and timid steps to counter the
bold Russian moves on the world
front.”
Citing what he said are the
“hard facts,” Senator Lehman
said:
"Great segments of our econo
my, including farmers and small
businessmen, are experiencing
distress to a greater or lesser
degree. There are many for
C whom this is a time of real
. hardship.'’
, Above this, he said, the coun
try is facing “the deepest internal
' crisis” it has experienced in
: many years—“the crisis result
ing from the Supreme Court de
cision and decree in the school
' segregation cases.”
He said tensions are rising in
■ some parts of the South and the
■ Constitution is "openly defied
and flouted.” “Tides of hate and
fear roll through the delta lands
' and cane brakes of the deep
1 South,” he added.
Picturing the situation abroad.
; he described the new masters
of the Soviet Union moving in
“triumphant procession” from
i one country to another with
false words of peace,
j “They speak in new terms
■ which fall on willing ears.” he
said, "and the initiative of lead
; ership has been taken from us.”
- In the face of the situation
> at home and the trend of events
• abroad, he said he is disturbed
> over “the lack of concern over
I the dangers and problems of
the day exhibited by our Gov
• ernment leaders, and over the
i climate of complacency which
has been so assiduously culti
. vated and so widely disseminated
[ throughout our land.”
He also made a plea for the
■ liberalization of the Social Se
■ curity laws.
MOUSE IS BLAMED
FOR LIGHT FAILURE
AND TRAFFIC JAM
PAINESVILLE, Ohio. </P).
—A mouse's tiny teeth were
blamed for plunging Lake
County into darkness for an
hour and a half last night
and causing a tremendous
traffic jam on U. S. High
way 20. which runs through
the heart of town.
The mouse chewed
through a wire on a main
feeder line at the Painesville
Municipal Light Plant, O. E.
Ficker, superintendent, said.
He said there were marks
of a mouse's teeth on the
wire which separated and
caused a short circuit that
set fire to insulation on main
wires and cables.
Some 6.500 homes and
business places had their
electric power cut at 8:32
p.m. and it was not restored
until 10:08.
The mouse who did this
shocking thing was not
found, Mr. Ficker said.
Dredge Deaths
Probe Called
MILWAUKEE. May 24 i.4Y—
The 10 men pulled from icy Lake
Michigan after the storming
|water smashed and sank their
dredge and took the lives of nine
other crewmen yesterday have
seen called by the Coast Guard
:to an official inquiry.
The investigation was an
nounced last night by Lt. T. C.
Pennock commander of the
j Milwaukee Coast Guard rescue
'station, who said it will open at
9 am. tomorrow. It will be
directed by Comdr. Arthur
; Wilcox, head of the Coast Guard
Marine Inspection Office here.
The survivors have already
told how their 120-by-40-loot
flat-bottomed craft went down
in minutes after 10 to 15-foot
waves tore loose a 40-foot bo:>»
that swung wildly over the side
in winds that reached 48 miles
an hour.
“It was just a matter of three
or four minutes after that that
she turned over. Everybody dove
in the lake. Then she rolled
over,” said Edwin Selvick. 47. of
Des Plaines, 111., an operating
engineer.
He said that all of the 19 crew
men were wearing life jackets
when they dived into the 47-
degree water. The survivors were
picked up by the tug, E. James
Fucik. which had been towing
the dredge toward the shelter of
the breakwater surrounding the
Milwaukee harbor. Tug and
dredge were owned by Fitzsim
mons, Connell Dredge Co..
Chicago.
The dredge went down at 2:40
am. in 60 to 70 feet of water.
The tug crew recovered three of
the bodies. The Coast Guard,
which dispatched boats and air
planes to tile scene, recovered
four more. The search for the
two missing crewmen was called
off at dark last night. The Coast
Guard said lt would resume to
day.

Killer of Three
Is Held Insane
GALVESTON, Tex., May 24
I4 5 ).—A jury’s decision that Ellis
Lauhon was insane when he shot
to death three members of a
Dickinson <Tex.l family drew a
bitter courtroom reaction last
night from a relative of the
: victims.
Lauhon was insane before he
shot them'and is insane now, the
jury declared after six hours of
deliberation.
The verdict means the 26-
vear-old former airman from
Altus, Ark., will not be tried for
the June 22 deaths of Mrs. Ruby
McPherson. 42: her son George.
12, and her mother, Mrs. Lola
Norman, 63.
The verdict was received bit
terly by Jack McPherson, 19.
brother, son and grandson of
the victims.
"What are they going to do—
. keep him in jail for a year or
-two and then let him loose to
till again?” he asked attorneys
' He got no answer.
He sat, trying not to cry, as
the crowded courtroom emptied.
But tears spotted his cheeks as
he stood and searched the court
• room with his eyes.
When he saw Mrs. Pat Morton.
Lauhon's sister, he walked to her.
“I want you to see this,” he
1 said, reaching into his pocket
for two pictures.
“This is my little brother that
your brother killed.” he said.
“He was my idol." young Mc
■ Pherson told her before he
■ walked away.
Lauhon was given a ride by
■ Mrs. McPherson at Beaumont as
she was returning to her home
from Sulphur. La. She took him
to her home after he gave her
a hard-luck story.
Six days after the slaying lie
was picked up in Nogales, Mex
ico. when he tried to sell her car
He told officers he shot the fam
ily because he feared they would
report him for being AWOL from
the Air Force.
Most of the testimony by psy
chiatrists and psychologists at
i the trial was that Lauhon was a
i paranoid schizophrenic and un
able to distinguish between right
and wrong.

'Absent Father 7 Policy
In Aid Cases Questioned
A report to the Public Welfare
Advisory Council yesterday sug
gested that it may be better to
offer aid to a needy family in
stead of a child—so that the
family can provide the child
with a more stable and satisfac
tory family life.
The report, drawn up by the
Social Service School at Catho
lic University and the Welfare
Department, was launched to
follow up some 364 children,
members of 104 District families,
who lost relief in 1955 when
husbands or "acting husbands”
showed up at home. A family,
to be eligible for a grant under
the aid to dependent children
program, must show a parent to
be absent, incapacitated or de
ceased.
Questions Raised
The report asked: “Does this
legislative requirement regard
ing absence of the parent in
itself weaken family life? Are
there cases where the father
absents himself so that his fam- :
il.v may be eligible for ADC i
which may afford more security
than he is able to provide?” :
Also, the report asked: “Are *
we solving the problem of the :
child's dependency needs 'both 1
economic and emotional' by
making the child the recipient
of aid when it is the family
which is in financial distress?” :
These questions were raised by :
findings of the survey which
showed:
1. Os the cases studied, the
relationship between the mothers!

and the men continued in 61
cases and discontinued in 43
cases after the aid was dropped.
2. Where relationships con
tinued. 28 acting husbands con
tributed more toward support of
the families after termination of
the grant.
3. Seven of the 61 acting hus
bands were not supporting the
family after termination of the
grant and 26 were contributing.
Assume Responsibility
Researchers concluded that
men with whom the mothers
were associating at the time of
termination took on more re
sponsibility through increased
support. Fifty per cent of the
acting husbands who were con
tributing toward support of the
families at the time of the ter
mination of the grant increased
their case contributions by the
time of the survey.
The Welfare Department em
barked on its “absent father”
policy in January of last year,
in an attempt to cope with a
problem of child dependency.
The “absent father" was con
sidered the individual w ho main
tained a husband-wife relation
ship with the actual mother of
the children.
