Herbert Lehman, who la up for reelection this November. This source confided that Cooper is "seriously considering a party draft" for the Kentucky seat of the late Sen. Alben W. Barkley and hopes to give his answer "in about 10 days." At stake is control of the senate for the two years beginning

THE "American Mother of 1956” is Mrs. Jane Maxwell Pritchard of Detroit, 67-year*old social worker and civic leader who with her husband raised one child of her own, adopted 10 others and was foster mother to 34. All lived with her for varying periods while she was a foster parent of the city's Juvenile court. Her election was announced by Mrs. Daniel Poling, president of the American Mothers Committee, Inc. Seventeen of the 34 are with her now. (Inttnmtional)

next January. Democrats now hold only a one vote majority, and the unexpected deaths of Barkley and Sen. Harley M. Kilgore of West Virginia have thrown the race wide open. To add to Derpocratic woes, incumbent Sen. Alan Bible has declined to run for reelection in Nevada, and prospects took bright for Republican candidate Clifton Young, youthful congressman who has twice won election on a statewide basis. -- Present front-runner for the GOP nomination in New York state is attorney genera! Jacob Javits, only Republican to win election on the state ticket last year. Although impressed with his proven voter appeal, most Republicans believe Javits' biggest assist came from Tammany boss Carmine De Sapio. who reportedly passed the word around to “get Junior." Javits' opponent was Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., who had incurred Tammany wrath by trying to grab the party machinery in the hope of defeating AverHarriman for the governorship. Several other Republicans are casting hopeful eyes at Lehman’s seat, but according to an informal source, all are willing to step aside if Dewey can be persuaded to run. Dewey, twice the Republican standard-bearer, is currently enjoyin a lucrative law practice In Nh* tbrk. Party stalwarts have reminded him, however, that unlike cabinet officials, many senators and congressmen continue their private law businesses while in office. Party hopes are high for winning Cooper's consent to run in Kentucky. Now ambassador to India. the former senator by coincidence happened to be in Washington for consultation at the time of Barkley’s death. _ _ Still in the capital, he has indicated that he will complete bis "soul searching” before returning to India. The Kentucky picture is strikingly different than It was at the thne that Cooper earlier this spring declined to run against incumbent Sen. Earle Clements of Kentucky. : • Clements, the senate assistant majority leader, is a hard man to beat in his home state, although Democratic Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler is pitting his personal prestie against him in favor of band • picked candidate Joseph Bates in the primary. With a second senatorial seat now available, GOP policy makers believe Cooper would be a shoo-in. Outside of the late Veep, he Is considered the best vote-getter in the ordinarily Democratic state, and twice within the past decade has won short-term senate seats. Barkley defeated him for reelection two years ago.

Enters Guilty Plea Into 1909 Slaying Fort Wayne Man On Trial At Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (INS) — An led erly Indiana man who says he wants to "get right with the Lord” before he dies, hatingly reached almost half-a-century into his memory today to tell of killing a man for $l2B in gold. Albert Hays, 75, of Fort Wayne, was helped to the witness stand after pleading guilty to slaying Albrecht Staub on the latter’s Turtle Creek farm near dawn of an August day in 1909. Hays, who says he is dying of cancer, appeared near collapse as he murmured the guilty plea. He sat trembling, with his head almost on his chest, as the confession he mgde March 9 to Allegheny county officers was read into the record. The confession and dusty police and coroner's records have been the prosecution’s only means of establishing the crime. Everyone who had a part in the original investigation has died long since. In his confession. Hays told of coming to the Staub farm several months after he quit a job delivering milk for the murder victims brother. He said Staub fed him and gave him a place to sleep. Hays stated he discovered where Staub kept his small horde of gold and was taking it during the night when the farmer turned over in his sleep.'The aged man Said he picked up a pistol which was lying nearby and fired the fatal bullet. Then, he said: “I struck a match, and when I let go of his hand, I saw the enormity of the whole thing.” Hays tossed the match aside and it Jater touched off a fire which fazed the farm house and erased almost all traces of the crime. The slaying remained unsolved until two months ago when I lays tottered into a Fort Wayne police station and announced his guilt.

The seniors left Union Station in Washington at 11 p.m. Wednesday, and stopped for breakfast at Pittsburgh Thursday morning. They -arrived in Decatur at 2:45 p.tp. Thursday. These trips are an annual event at Monmouth, and are financed by the different projects of the class ■luring their four years in high school.

When asked why he shot the sleeping farmer, Hays said: "1 could have had his money and walked away, but I shot him — just that eternal question —a split second and you’ve done something that ruins you the rest of your life.” IKE PILES UP (Continued From Page One) as they would have done were they aroused.
