Eisenhower Will Tackle Farmers’
Problems As First Step In Pledge
For Increasing Prosperity For All
Police Solve Four
Year Old Shooting
CIO Pres. Reuther
DETROIT, Itf) — Charging four
persons with assault with intent
to kill and conspiracy, police to
day cracked open the five-year
old attempted assassination of
CIO president Walter Reuther.
Wayne County prosecutor Ger
ald K. O’Brien and Detroit Police
Commissioner Donald Leonard
announced the charges and the ar
rest of two of the four.
“I am convinced the shooting
of Walter Reuther in 1948 has
been solved,” O’Brien said.
He said a similar attempt on the
life of Victor Reuther, brother of
Walter in 1949, is still a mystery.
Arrested were:
Carl Renda, 35, a key witness at
the Kefauver Committee hearing
in Detroit.
Clarence Jacobs, 48, of Tecum
seh, Ont., who once jumped bond
when accused of illegal entry into
the United States.
Also named in the warrant was
Peter Lombardo, 50, already serv
ing sentence at the Terre Haute,
Ind., federal penitentiary.
The four h person named in the
warrant was Santo (Sam) Perrone,
56, father-in-law of Renda and a
frequently questioned suspect by
the Kefauver Committee of being
“a gang-leading strike breaker
and enemy of organized labor.”
He is being sought by police.
The attempted killing of Walter
Reuther—and the attempt also on
the life of his brother Victor a
little more than a year later—de
fied years of investigation.
Each of the two CIO unionists
was shot at his home by a would
be assassin who fired a shotgun
through the window. Whether it
was the same man on both occa
sions police could never say.
Walter lost part of the use of
an arm as a result and Victor was
blinded in one eye.
At the time Walter blamed
“Communists, management or a
crackpot.”
Walter Reuther was then presi
dent of the CIO United Auto
Workers, a job which he still
holds. Within the past two years
he has also become president of
-the CIO.
f WASHINGTON, W— President
Eisenhower was represented by
close associates Tuesday as deter
mined to solve the farm price
problem in one of his first steps
toward carrying out a pledge at
“constantly increasing prosperity
for all.”
In a radio-television report to
the people Monday night, the
President said his administration
is using “every legitimate means
available to the federal govern
ment” to maintain prosperity and
will continue to do so as long as
is necessary. ,
Asserting that his administra
tion does not believe in a “boom
and-bust America” in which
prosperity hinges on war or
threats of war, Eisenhower said
the program he will lay before
Congress in his State of the Union
message tomorrow will be keyed
to federal help.
“It is a program that does not
deal in pie-in-the-sky promises to
all, nor bribes to a few, nor in
threats to any,” he declared. “It
is a program inspired by zeal for
the common good, dedicated to
the welfare of every American
family — whatever its means of
livelihood may be or its social
position or its ancestral strain or
its religious affiliations.”
In outlining the past year’s ac
complishments, Eisenhower asser
ted the groundwork has been laid
to sustain basic prosperity “ in the
strong belief that the federal gov
ernment should be prepared at
all times—ready at a moment’s
notice—to use every proper means
toward that end.”
He said a program of sound
planning and aggressive enter
prise must be accompanied by “a
faith which cannot be shaken by
self-appointed peddlers of gloom
and doom” in America’s growth
and progress.
This was an obvious thrust at
some Democrats, like Sens. Doug
las of Illinois and Kerr of Okla
homa, who have said the country
already is in a recession and may
be headed for a real depression.
Eisenhower had some assistance
in the lighting and other technical
aspects of his radio-TV report
from a professional: TV Producer
and Actor Robert Montgomery.
Only a few Eskimos know how
to build snow houses.

U.S. Officials Confident
Remaining Korean POWs
Will Be Released Jan. 23
WASHINGTON, W —Two top
banking American officials, re
turning from the Far East, ex
pressed confidence today that the
release of Korean war prisoners
on Jan. 23 will be accomplished
without trouble and that peace
negotiations will be resumed.
Asst. Secretary of State Walter
S. Robertson and Adm. Arthur
Radford, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, told reporters of
their observations on an inspec
tion - consultation trip to Korea,
Japan and Formosa.
Robertson was asked if he ex
pected any trouble when the time
comes for releasing to civilian life
all prisoners still held by the
Reds and allies. He replied he did
not expect any trouble and added:
“I talked with the Swiss, the
Swedes and Indians (on the Neu
tral National Repatriation Com
mission) and there seemed to be
no dissent from them regarding
our position.”
Asked if he was optimisitic
about resumption of talks for set
ting up a formal peace conference,
he replied:
“Optimistic is the wrong word
because I’m never optimistic
about anything the Communists
do. But I think the negotiations
will get going again.”
