wonderment. "The only BAR in the

And then he was de-rid.

How well was he prepared to die

he have any hopes for them? How

1951 Drop A Bit
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25 'U.Rt—
The Federal Bureau of Prisons re-
ported Thursday that L". S. civil

Of the 105 executions, 87 were
for murder, 17 for rape, and one—
in Kentucky—for armed robbery.
One of the criminals executed was
a woman.

the greatest concentration in the
25-29 age bracket.
The bureau said Texas 1-d the
list with 13 executions. Other high-
ranking states were Virginia with
10, Florida, Mississippi, and New
York, with 8, and Georgia and
Louisiana with 78.

king a salesmanship training cour-

He said ho wanted Nixon to be
retained on the GOP ticket because
Nixon is a "sincere fighting Am-
erican anil we need him and a lot
more like him in our government."
When first asked if Nixon should
remain in the contest, he replied:
"Positively'! Are you kidding?"
