Stevenson Meets Eisenhower Oct. 1 Pleasant Exchange Os Views Foreseen WASHINGTON, UP — Administ tration insiders predicted today I that the Oct 1 meeting between h President Eisenhower and Adlal . E. Stevenson will produce what , the diplomats call “a pleasant exchange of views.” ( Officials in the know saw little possibility of a brass-tacks arguments on foreign policy. Steven- , son, just back from a world tour which led him to new criticism of l the Eisenhower administration, , will do moat of the talking. The President primarily will be a listening post. Stevenson is expected to outline findings and opinions and the President will accept them as coming from the titular head of the Democratic party. Both men are too urbane and expert in personal ■ dealings to get to the level of strong face-to-face differences. This will be the second meetingbetween the two since Mr. Eisenhower defeated the former Illinois governor and 1952 Democratic presidential nominee. Before Stevenson left on his around-the-world tour in the early summer, he lunched with the President who invited him to come back to the White House after the journey and report. ! Stevenson returned In late August and there was immediate speculation that he would fly to the Denver summer White House to talk to the President before making a radio and television report to the nation. K It later developed that shortly before Mr. Eisenhower left Denver, he wrote a letter to Stevenson suggesting that a meeting be arranged in Washington after the President returned. Tuesday the White House telephoned Stevenson’s office and suggested lunch at the White House Oct. 1. The date was arranged immediately. P' v- '■ : \ STOP WOMAN'S LEAP (C—tlawe< Fr«w Page O»e) toward the window and the priest dropped the dog to the floor. He and fire marshal James R. Hughes, 59, lunged forward, grabbed Mrs. Armin, and hauled her to safety. The tense scene was televised to viewers throughout the Chicago -area by station WBBM-TV of the Columbia Broadcasting System which has studios in the Wrigley BuHding across from the Tribune Tower. * A crowd estimated by police at 6,000 persons crowded the street to watch the rescue, and thousands of other persons watched trom nearby office windows. Hughes said Mrs. Armin struggled as he and the priest grabbed her wrists. “I believe that girl really wanted to jump,” Hughes said.

Eisenhower-Durkin Feud Ouf In Open .Sweetness, Light Vanish From Feud WASHINGTON, UP—The sweetness and light have vanished in a matter of days from the relationship between President Eisenhower and his resigned labor secretary, Martin P. Durkin. It will be a fortnight Thursday since Durkin left the cabinet to resume the presidency of the AFL plumbers union. The President's letter accepting Durkin’s resignation was Warp) with regret and good feeling. Durkin’s Sept, 10 news conference explaining his action was notable for the care with which the resigned secretary protected Mr. Eisenhower. He said White House staff members assigned to negotiate TaftHartley act amendments had welshed after changes had J>een agreed on. But Durkin empbaticalf ly found Mr. Eisenhower not guilty. , - Within a matter of 36 hourA AFL President George Meany was on the air saying Durkin’s Story to him was that the • President, also, had run out on his labor secretary. y Six days after his resignation,.

Durkin was publicly accusing Mr. Eisenhower of .welshing in a £t. Louis speech before the AFL taetal trades department. The following day Meany resumed the attack in a St. Louis speeeh before another AFL department. “We are not going to be pushed around,” Meany snapped. “The President is not strong enough to stand up for his point of view against the people who seem to control the administration.” Durkin’s nomination, Which the late Sen. Robert A. Taft called ‘‘incredible** and Democratic national committee chairman Stephen A. Mitchell scorned as “political expediency,” has backfired. It is burning the administration where hurts. There was nothing warm and friendly Tuesday when White House press secretary James C. Hagerty felt compelled, finally, to reply to Durkin’s latest statement. The departed cablneteer had charged that Mr. Eisenhower ‘fully agreed” with the proposed labor law changes — and then welshed. Hagerty’s answer was that Mr. Eisenhower had not done so. Newsmen pressed for more, remarking that Hagerty’s statement meant that Durkin lied. Hagerty did not deny it. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat .Want Add.

Seek Nebraska 6irl Missing 34 Days Pretty Teenager Vanished Aug. 20 RUSHVILLE, Neb. UP —Thirty four days ago, one of this small town’s prettiest teenagers vanished while walking home from an early movie. The deepening mystery of what happened to 13-year-old Karen Talbot, daughter of a prosperous farmer-rancher, has saddened and mystified The community, i Brown-haired Karen played first clarinet in the Rushville school bqnd. She said goodbye to a girl friend after they had a soda the night of Aug. 2(T. A group of high school boys offered her' a ride as she walked by the courthouse. She gaily declined, walked on towards her home a few blocks away. She never reached the two-story white frame house. There has been “not a single shred of evidence” to indicate what happened to her. Rushville is "convinced,” Sheriff Wendall Hills said, that Karen did not leave voluntarily. Her grieving mother. Mrs. Lloyd Talbot, said “al we know is Karen must have been picked up almost at our doorstep.” There have been, no ransom notes, although the Talbots are offering a $5,000 reward, "i Karen was a happy, well adjusted * girl preparing to enter Rushville high as a -freshman. She and a sister, Doris, 16, had moved into town early from the Talbot's "second home” on their ranch so Karen could practice with)- the school band. Karen weighed 120 pounds, was slender, has blue eyes. She was wearing her white sweater witfc “Rushville H. 9! Band” on the back in orange and black. She had on black slacks and a green blouse. Karen has been reported “seen” at dozens of places from coast to •oast. Posters and pamphlets about her have been widely circulated. Police believe the only genuine report came from Lincoln, the state capital, 450 miles east. Twenty-four hours after Karen vanished, a middle aged man. and a girl were seen in a restaurant in Lincoln. The restaurant operator gave police details of Karen’s clothing which had not been made public. But the matter did pot come to investigators* attention until two weeks later. The trail was cold. Last week, there was a rodeo here with a parade and shows. But as Sheridan County Star Editor Phil Gottschalk said: “Karen’s disappearance has had a sobering effect. This is a closely-knit community. We have problems, but this was one we thought was restricted to big cities.” Hills said the community has responded "magnificently.*** Searchers on foot, horseback and in the air have searched the area. Every basement, attic, shed, river, stream and ditch has been searched. High school students this week mailed “missing girl” announcements to 1,250 radio stations. The appeal was headed “please read with sincereness.” Hospital Attendants Freed Os Charges RICHMOND, Ind.
