Howard Blakeslee, AP science

"This is the annual conference
of Texas managing editors and
their staffs who handle the AP

Ike Facing
Defeat of
Some Plans
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9(P)—
President Eisenhower faces pos-
sible defeat on about one-third of
the broad legislative program he
has outlined to congress.
Few lawmakers who comment-
ed on it would predict that sub-
stantially all of it would become
law, but they generally seemed
to feel that Eisenhower had
adopted a smart political ap-
proach by suggesting 36 topics
for legislative action and men-
tioning others for later reference.
They found something for almost
everybody in the state of the
union message.
Sen. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa)

Clarence Jacobs, 48-year-old
Canadian ex-convict, was named
by the witness as the man who
fired the shotgun through a
window of Reuther’s kitchen.
O’Brien said. Jacobs was one of
those named in the warrant and
is fighting extradition from
nearby Windsor, Ontario. -
The witness, O’Brien said, told
him that he, Jacobs and Peter
Lombardo, 51, were picked for

rested Wednesday and is under

same day in Windsor.
The attempted assassination
of Reuther was laid by O’Brien
yesterday to an attempt by
gangsters to seize control of the

union, of which Reuther recent-
ly had been elected president,
and to their desire to keep a
