Republican Leaders Help Ike
Lay Plans for 'Crucial' Year
■V JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON W—For their 20
years out of office—which meant
20 years of not having to take
final responsibility for what went
wrong—the Republicans were the
Democrats' severest critics
Today, now that its their torn
to hold the bag for any big mis-
tabes made, the Republicans put
their beads together to see what
they can do.
Republican congressional leaders
met at the White House with Presi-
dent Eisenhower to agree, disagree
or advise him on the kind of pro-
gram ho will, or they think he
should, offer Congress in 1954.
Uses Broom
When Eisenhower moved into
the White House early this year he
was like a tidy tenant with a new
broom, a bag of seeds for the
garden, and Ma own personal fire
extinguisher.
He went to work with his broom
fellow Republicans "Come now,
gentlemen, let’s not beat up an
one another Easy does it Let’s
have no hard feelings.”
Spreading Seeds
Meanwhile. Eisenhower kept Me
eye on the national garden, spread-
ing seeds which he hoped would
come to flower to 1954 in the form
of a program he could oak Con-
gress to approve
Eisenhower and his Republicans
knew that 1954, not 1953, would
be the crucial year for them
since it is Ip next, Novembers con-
gressional elections that the voters
will pass their first judgment on
the administration.
Therefore, looking upon 1*53 ss
the year of getting ready for 1*54.
Elsenhower offered some legisla-
tion while spreading seeds for
much bigger legislation next year.
He used a special kind af seed
upon which ba seamed to place
his main reliance for a good 1*54
legislative crop: he rent up one
commission after soother to study
problems he wanted to handle to
his program.
The commissions have begun
turning in their recommendations
and will continue to do so in 1954.
Important Speech
on the Democrats at once, sweep-
ing them out of the nooks and
crannies where he wanted to place
a Republican. This was not un-
expected by anyone, including the
Democrats.
And when he saw fires spring-
ing up in his administration, par-
ticularly aome crackling blazes be-
gun by Sen. McCarthy of Wis-
consin, Elsenhower depended on
his own fire extinguisher instead
of sounding a general alarm.
He used the extinguisher in the
fashion of a man saying to his State of the Union message, per-
With the help of these studies,
the advice of the people around
Mm, and the views of his congres-
sional leaders. Eisenhower will
produce his program and will offer
as much of it as la ready in Ma

The White House meetings with
the Republican leaders of Congress
starting Thursday will continue
through Saturday.
By the variations in their own
attitudes and views they may con-
tribute not only light, but also con-
fusion. But It is upon these leaders
that Eisenhower must depend for
the fight made in the Capitol for
any part of his program.
Eisenhower, of course, has not
laid his fire extinguisher aside,
knowing well he may need it badly
in 1954 if some of Ma own Re-
publicans atari playing with politi-
cal matches.
Since Intraparty fights might in
the end undo all the good done in
the eyes of the voters by a good
program, as he talks with his lead-
ers today, Eisenhower may be
thinking:
‘I hope we get through 1954 with-
out explosions.”
Eisenhower Plans to Address
Congress in Person Jan. 7
WASHINGTON ( — President
Elsenhower told GOP congression-
al leaders todsy the American
people "are looking to the Repub-
, lican party to continue to enact a
forward-looking, progressive pro-
: gram that will serve the welfare
of 160 million people."
As Eisenhower began the first
of three days of conferences with
the party leaders on Ms 1954
legislative program, It was an-
nounced:
ductive session of Congress. I am
convinced—as I know you are-
that the people of this country are
lookins to the Republican party to
continue to enact a forward-look-
ing, progressive program that will
serve the welfare of 160 million
people, and I know we shall sue-
Paupers Given
Proper Burial,
Judge Asserts
Unclaimed bodies of paupers sad
indigent are given Christian bur-
ial to Taylor County. County Judge
Reed Ingaisbe said Wednesday.
No bodies will be turned over to
a State anatomical board for med-
ical-school dissection unless order-
ed to writing by authority of that
board, he said.
The Judge commented on the law
note # WI "WPnsmme
sioners had expressed opinions on
a state statute regarding dissection
of such bodies.
"In Taylor County our commis-
sioners court provides funeral tun-
ten with local directors The cost
of burial has run between 3100 and
MOO a body," the judge continued.
In 1907 the Texas Legislature
passed a law — Statute 45*3-14 Re-
vised Civil Statutea of Texas-
which provides the unclaimed hod-
toe of paupers and indigents with
no known Ma of family shall be
delivered to the Anatomical Board
of the State of Texas, Austia, for
use of medical colleges for dissec-
tion for furthering knowledge of
students.
But the law war amended la
1929 by the Texas Legislature
which provides that the ABT must
make an application la writing to
the City or County from which it
wishes to obtain the body.
"No written application for bod-
ies from the ABT has ever been
received by us,”' Judge Ingaisbe
said. ‘Our policy is to follow the
law, but we have given every pau-
per a decent Christian burial and
we shall continue to do so as long
as we are permitted," be continu-
The only other Statute regard-
ing the burial of such unclaimed
bodies, or other paupers and in-
digent, is No. 3251, which specifies
that the Commissioner, courts
shall provide burial for their
bodies.

SPEAK UP,
MR. BROWN
Judges, attorneys. Jurors
and court reporters were
laughing Thursday about an in-
eident in 104th District Court
here Wednesday.
When Harvey Brown, veter-
. an 42d District Court reporter,
takes down shorthand .testi-
mony in his court he often asks
witnesses to speak louder.
Wednesday Brown was a wit-
ness in a civil suit. Bryan
Bradbury, plaintiff's attorney,
urged the court reporter:
“Mr. Brown, apeak distinct-

can get what you say—and so
the juror in the farthest seat
can hear you."

At His Own Triol
MOSCOW, Dec. IS —The trea-
son trial of Lavrenty Beria and
six alleged henchmen probably will

said today.

of Dee. 1, UM, which Soviet news-
papers announced the former po-
lice boss and his co-defendants will
be tried.
The law provides, among other
things, that the “trial shall take
place without the presence of the
parties."
It also specifies the court must
wind up Its investigation of evi-
dence within 10 days, coeviction
carries the death penalty, and there
shall be no appeal.
