As Eisenhower began the first

the President told the lawmakers:
“The American people have
vested in the Republican Party the
responsibility of government. With
that responsibility we have a great
opportunity to advance the wel
fare of our country. No"w let’s go
to work.”
The meeting was behind closed
doors, but the President’s state
ment was made public by the
White House.
Eisenhower told the group he
had called the meeting to seek the
leaders’ advice on the legislative
program which he will set out in
his state of the Union and budget
messages.
U. S. Manufacturers Build
Ninety Per Cent of World
Airliners In Postwar Years
LOS ANGELES — Dominating
the world market in the produc
tion of commercial airliners, Am
erican aircra ft manufacturers
have built 90 per cent of all air
liners sold during the postwar
years and now have orders for
half a billion dollars worth of late
model air transports, according to
a survey by the Aircraft Indus
tries Association.
The survey shows that U. S.
manufacturers today have orders
for 324 transports of 36-passenger
or greater capacity. During the
first six months of the year, 89
of the large airliners were deliv
ered to American and foreign
purchasers.
The demand for American-built
airliners has reached such propor
tions that approximately 900 of
the 1000 new transport planes de
livered to world airlines in the
years 1946-52 were built in the
United States, according to the
International Civil Aviation Or
ganization.
Air travel to all parts of the
world now has grown to a point
where an average of 123,000 per
sons, using the world airline fleet
o'f some 4,000 aircraft, fly more
than 67 million miles each day
over scheduled routes — the equi
valent of 2,680 times around the
world.

Son Accused
Murdering Parents
NEW YORK, UP) — A poetry
quoting young chemist was ac
cused Thursday of murdering his
parents — to get their $100,000
wealth — by spiking their cham
paigne cocktails with potassium
cyanide as all drank a toast to his
new job.
The case had been considered a
double suicide or murder and sui
cide for four months — until a
pretty girl started talking.
The son and friend, who re
portedly confessed a murder-for
money plot, were booked by police
on charges of acting in concert in
homicide. ;
The son, Harlow Fraden, 21, an
only child, had moaned to detec
tives months ago about the deaths
of his parents and deaths of an
aunt and uncle who were acci
dentally asphyxiated.
Bronx dist. atty. George B. Le
Luca said the friend, Dennis Wep
man, 20, an unemployed writer,
admitted that he and Fraden had
planned the murders “for some
time.”
The deaths were unsolved until
an attractive brunette girl friend
of Wepman went to authorities.
Wepman had told her of his
“complicity in this thing,” and she
became worried about her knowl
edge of a crime.
The girl, whose name was not
revealed by authorities, first con
sulted a physician about her dil
emma, and he advised her to tell
her stories to the authorities. She
did so, and the case was broken
Wednesday by the initial arrest of
Wapman at his apartment. He
confessed, and Fraden’s arrest
followed.
