Senate Leader Outlines Plan Os Legislation 12-Point Program Is Outlined Today By Senator Johnson WASINGTON (UPI) — Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson pledged today that the new Democratic Congress will meet President Eisenhower “at least halfway” in making the next two years a period of “constructive” achievement. I In his first major speech since : the Democrats won a landslide victory at the polls Tuesday, he said America is entering “an age lof expansion” and cannot afford Ito have its political machinery paralyzed by. “partisan warfare” from now until 1960. He outlined a 12-point program of “major issues” facing the 86th Congress and promised that the top-heavy Democratic majorities in the Hosue and Senate will tack'le these problems with a “sober | realization of the responsibilities that go with victory.” Johnson’s speech, distributed by his office here, was to be dejlivered at noon before a business audience at Big Spring. Tex. Johnson said America i s "heading into one of the greatest expansions of its history. . . a century of opportunity that has !no parallel in the memory of ! man.” He listed 12 national “needs” which he said require priority attention in the new Congress: 1. “To breathe life into the newly created space agency and launch a program to explore outer space.” 2. “A program <o develop the peaceful uses of the atom —with emphasis on an atomic merchant marine.” ■ 3. “A program to step up the supply and conservation of water for the West.” 4. A review of U. S. foreign policy “so that bold. new. imagi-j native programs can be recom-j mended to responsible officials.” J 5. “A consistent policy for Latin ’ America which will help our neighbors to help themselves.” 6. “A new farm program." 7. Federal help to “economically depressed” areas. 8. “We need to face up to the high interest rates which are slowing the needed-growth of our economy." He did hot say specifically that interest rates should be lowered, or how he would go about it.) 9. “A labor bill to protect honest. constructive labor from the selfish schemes of the racketeers.” 10. "A bold housing program which will set as its goal a home for every American family.” 11. Revamping the national airport program to prepare “totally inadequate” facilities for the advent of the jet age. 12. “A courageous urban renewal program.” A conspicuous omission in Johnson’s list was the civil rights issue which sharply divide Democrat. He also avoided any reference to tax and budget policy. Johnson said that "as we have in the past, when we agree with the President we will try to support him. When we. disagree, we will try to present constructive alternatives.” . “There just won't be time for partisan bickering and petty political warfare. There are too many things to be done.” 88-Year-Old Woman " Is Killed In Crash SOUTH BEND, Ind. <UPI> -t Mrs. Sarah Rupel, 88, North Liberty, was killed today when two cars collided at an intersection southwest of here.

Starkweather Tells Conflicting Stories Caril's Statement May Be Submitted LINCOLN, Neb. (UPD — CarU Ann Fugate’s 163-page statement about her part in Charles Starkweather’s murder rampage was expected to be submitted today as evidence in the 15-year-old girl’s first degree murder trial. The tiny defendant’s unsigned statement hever has been released. A copy was given to her counsel shortly before the trial began two weeks ago but prosecution and defense were prohibited from releasing it unless it is accepted as evidence. Caril is charged with aiding her boy friend, Starkweather, 19, in the slaying of one of the victims, Robert Jensen, 17. Starkweather is appealing a death sentence for the crime, and Caril is subject to the same penalty if the jury finds her guilty. Starkweather was cross - examined Thursday on his conflicting statements about the 11 miirders he had admitted committing or being a party to last December and January, TO of them in the company of Caril. In on-again-off-again attempts to “protect Caril,” he first saifi she had no part in the slayings. Then he reversed himself and said his first statement was “a bunch of hogwash.” He doesn’t care now whether she lives or dies, he said. Not Sorry for Bartlett Starkweather said he regretted most of the killings. “I didn’t feel very good about all except one," he said. "I didn’t feel I did the right thing, but I didn't feel sorry for him—Marion Bartlett (Card’s stepfather*.” Defense attorney John McArthur read Starkweather’s question-and-answer statement in the slayings of Card’s mother, stepfather and their baby daughter, and the account stripped Caril of her usual calm. The girl’s pale face reddened. Her eyes fdled and tears ran unchecked down her cheeks. She bit ! her lips and occasionally whisjpered to herself. The statement read by McArthur was the one in which Starkweather confirmed Card’s defense, that she was his innocent and frightened captive He said he committed the killings in "self defense.” Starkweather said he killed Bartlett because the- older man came at him with a hammer. Mrs. Bartlett because she ran screaming at him. flourishing a knife, after her husband was killed, and the baby because she cried. When Caril came home from school, he said, he fooled her with a complicated story about her family being held hostage. Told Conflicting Stories Another time, Starkweather said Caril heard the shot which killed Bartlett and saw the slayings of her mother and half-sister They decided together on the hostage story during the six days they stay'ed at the Bartlett home, he said. Starkweather conceded he had told conflicting stories about most of the slayings, but he insisted he told the truth about Jensen s death—that Caril could not have aided and abetted the murder because he decided on the spur of the moment to kill the youth.

Caril was not even with them at the time, he said, but was in the Jensen automobile some distance away from the abandoned Storm cellar where first Jensen and then his companion, Carol King, 16, were killed. But Starkweather said he left Miss King alive, in Caril’s charge. Repeartedly Starkweather testified Caril was a free agent, from the time of her family’s death Jan. 21 until their capture eight days later. "She wasn’t going to talk,” he said. "I wasn’t worried.” Producer Os 21 Is Indicted By Jury Freedman Indicted On Perjury Charges NEW YORK (UPD—Dist. AttyFrank Hogan announced today the arrest of Albert Freedman, producer of the TV quiz show "Twenty-One” on two charges of perjury. In a grand jury indictment handed up today it was charged that Freedman, 36, “knowingly lied when he appeared before the grand jury to answer questions as to whether he supplied questions and answers to “Twenty-One' contestants before they appeared on the program. Hogan said the grand jury charged Freedman “in fact, revealed questions and answers to contestants prior to their appearances.” He did not reveal how many contestants were involved. The two counts of perjury involve his alleged lying about questions he supplied contestants and the alleged lying about answers he supplied contestants. Hogan said the defendant served as producer of "Twenty-One” from November, 1956, until last month when the show closed. "Part of his job,” Hogan said, “was to interview prospective contestants and supervise the preparation of questions to be asked on the contest. For the past seven weeks the September. 1958, grand jury has been engaged in an investigation to determine if the crimes of conspiracy, larceny and commercial bribery or other crimes were committed in connection with the operation of certain quiz programs. This grand jury has been extended to Feb. 1. 1959.” Freedman was called as a witness before the grand jury on Oct. 2 and questioned under oath as to whether he revealed to contestants any questions later asked on the show. Hogan said Freedman denied that he had revealed any questions later asked on the show or revealed any answers to questions used on the show. Freedman faces a possible 10 years in jail and SIO,OOO fine if convicted of the charges.
