DENVER, Oct. 7 (Ah — Presi-
dent Eisenhower gets a report on
the political situation today from
Vice President Nixon, who says
he is "tremendously encouraged”
but that the Republicans still
face a difficult battle to maintain
control of congress.
Eisenhower’s conference with
the vice president probably will
be a big factor in the chief exec-
utive’s imminent decision wheth-
er to play a more active personal
role in the November elections
campaign.
Aides already have said pri-
vately that the president is in-
clined to schedule more than the
two major campaign addresses
he has agreed to make between
now and election day, Nov. 2.
The first of those will be a na-
tionwide television-radio address
tomorrow’ night, with Nixon join-
ing in a half-hour program which
the Denver White House is call-
ing "the major single effort” of
the GOP drive to retain control
of the legislative branch.
The address of the president
and vice president will originate
from the 6,000-seat Denver audi-
torium. where the Colorado Re
publican organization has planned
a hig political rally.
Two hours ahead of the broad-
cast. Eisenhower and Nixon will
meet here with GOP congression-
al leaders for a review of the
partv’s political prospects and a
briefing on the international
situation.
Several GOP leaders either
have indicated or said outright
that they want Eisenhower to
step up his personal campaign.
Told that as he stepped from
his chartered plane here last
night, Nixon said:
"I agree it to a tough fight. We
started out with that in mind.”
But the vice president, who has
been making an extensive cam-
paign tour around the country,
added that on the basis of the
first 2% weeks of his travels he
is tremendously encouraged.”
"Our campaign is off the
ground,” he declared.
Asked whether he intended to

demands for Cyprus are strain-
ing the new ties linking Greece
with Turkey and Yugoslavia in
a 20-year military pact.
Turkish officials, vitally inter-
ested in Britain’s strategic crown
colony in the eastern Mediterra-

pressure before the United Na-
tions will poison Greek-Turkish
friendship and make military co-
operation impossible.
Turkish public opinion strongly
opposes the Greek demand. Cy-
prus is in headlines day after
day. Newspapers urge the An-
kara government to join actively
in the fight. Turkey’s public pol-
icy thus far has been one of re-
straint.
A change in this policy may
have been heralded by the An-

BONN, Germany, Oct. 7 (A)—,
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s
government coalition closed ranks
today against opposition Social-
ist support of Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov’s bid for
new four-power talks on German
reunification.
Thomas Dehler, chairman of
the Adenauer-allied Free Demo-
crats, criticized Socialist demands
that the West take some active
step to meet with the Russians
on the unity question. Dehler.
whose party is the No. 2 group
in the coalition, previously had
urged a new approach to the
Russians.
Defending Adenauer from So-
cialist criticism over the recent
London agreement to rearm West
Germany Dehler said:
"I have sat with the chancellor
for four years and I have never
seem him illustrate less desire
for unity than the next man.”
The Free Democrat chief said
West German ratification of the
London accord would not inter-
fere with German unity efforts.
The Socialists, following up the
offer made by Molotov in an East
Berlin speech last night, also
urged the formation of a Euro-
pean security pact within the
framework of the United Na-
tions.
The Soviet foreign minister
said in his speech the Russians

said.
That was why, Floyd testified,
he made the statement: "Nago,
I’ve always told you if you ever
need me. I would come” when
Alaniz called the night of the
shooting.
Floyd testified he was a leader
of the "anti-Parr party” that op-
posed the group headed by
George Parr.
Parr, soon after the shooting,
made a public statement in which
he said he had no part in the
shooting or any knowledge of it.
He admitted a long-time political
enmity with Floyd but said it did
not extend to Floyd’s family.
In yesterday’s opening testi-
mony. the state at one point ob-
jected to what it called Fore-
man’s dramatics. Foreman ob-
jected to what he called the “sym-
pathy appeal” of Floyd to the
jury. It was during this period
of the trial that 54th Dist. Judge
D. W. Bartlett denied a defense
request for a mistrial.
Bitterness was exhibited in
nearly every sentence of Floyd’s
testimony.
“If he (Alaniz) had gone to the
law as he should, he would have
saved my son from being mur-
dered,” Floyd said.
“Isn’t it a fact that Alaniz
risked his life to tell you of the
murder plot?” Foreman asked.
"No,” the father answered. “He
said he would be killed if ‘they’
knew he told me what he told
me. He tried to keep me from
going to see Halsey Wright (Jim
Wells county sheriff).”
Foreman then quoted Floyd's
testimony at the Sapet trial in
Brownsville and asked, "Didn’t he
ask you not to go see Halsey but
to telephone him?”
"I don’t remember that,” Floyd
said, using the phrase for the
fourth time. He said Alaniz told
him "the new part of Starr coun-
ty was the “they” he referred to
as behind the murder plot.

The Santa Fe Railway’s crack

it collided with a truck.
The Oklahoma highway patrol

were shaken up when 7 cars left

At the Berlin conference early
this year, the West proposed free
all-German elections as the first
step towards unification. Under
this plan negotiations for a peace
treaty would follow the forma-

Molotov turned the idea down
then. He insisted instead on the

treaty which Western diplomats
said would leave a unified Ger-
