Doctors say there is little chance the youth, who has been bedfast five years, will live.

(UP) Ed Gein, confessed human butcher and head-hunter, pleaded innocent because of insanity to murder charges yesterday and appeared headed towards a mental institution. District Attorney Earl Ki-leeu charged Gein with only one of the two murders of women the frail bachelor has confessed that of Plainfield (Wis.) storekeeper Mrs. Ber-nice Worden last Saturday. Kileen indicated he would have no objection to accepting the pleas of innocent and innocent by reason of insanity entered by Gein's lawyer.

"I wouldn't want to be on record as prosecuting an insane man," Kileen said. IF GEIN, 51 years old. is ruled insane, it will mean he will probably spend his life in the state maximum security hosnital at Waupun. Speedy commitment to a mental institution minht leave unsolved whether Gein murdered nine more women whose skulls, shrunken, heads and death masks were found, In his "house of horrors" near Plainfield. Gein's fate prison or institution appeared likely to be settled in short order.

Defense Attorney William Belter said he will demand a mental examination. Circuit Judce Herbert Bunde said he will set a date for a conference with Kileen and could rule on the issue "any time." He could then order an examination by three court-appointed psychiatrists or commit Gein to the Waupun hospital for observation. GEIN, meanwhile, was bound over to Circuit Court for trial as new revelations of his crimes and suspicions of his story emerged. Townspeople and morticians expressed incredulity at the spindly-legged farmer's story that he dug up graves by moonlight, looted them, and left them covered without a trace. They suspected his The French Foreign Ministry accused Lloyd of "not telling the full story." France contended Britain and the United States jumped into the affair just as Tunisia was about to agree to conditions for French arms.

The British foreign office replied with a statement that France's position has been unwise. STRAUSS SAYS: BROAD RIPPLE-DOWNTOWN, as OUR OWN DICTIONARY OF GRIDIRON TERMS Washington (AP) Secretary of the Treasury Anderson said yesterday the United States can have both "a strong, adequate defense and a strong, virile economy." Anderson expressed this belief to the House Small Business Committee, in his first appearance before a Congressional committee since he succeeded George M. Humphrey as the Eisenhower administration's No. 1 money man. Anderson brought the committee a prepared statement which dealt especially with problems of small business.

His more general remarks came as the result of questioning by committee members. Among other things, he said the reduction announced last week in the discount rates of some Federal Reserve banks was a step in the right direction. A reduction in this rate usually leads to easier, and cheaper, credit generally. The Federal Reserve has been raising the rate when inflation dangers grew, and lowering it as the inflation threat seemed to lessen. ANDERSON'S st a that the country can be militarily and economically strong at the same time was in reply to a question.

He said that for America to have a sound defense means that strength must be maintained for a considerable length of time, and added: This requires a healthy, dynamic economy. We need both a strong, adequate defense and a strong, virile economy." In his prepared-in-advance statement on small business, Anderson offered a free enterprise philosophy, saying: "Federal policies that promote confidence on the part of investors, businessmen and consumers, and that encourage the spirit of free enterprise by preserving and strengthening competition, constitute in a broad sense the most powerful aid that can be given small business. 5 have) you'll -within i "grave-robbing" story was a ruse to hide more murders. Sheriff Arthur Schley revealed that Gein confessed he was "attracted" to Mrs. Worden, 58, and his other victim, Pine Grove (Wis.) saloon keeper Mary Hogan, 54, because they looked like his mother.

There were unconfirmed reports that Gein also confessed his love of his dead mother made him want to become a woman and that he collected the heads, skin and hair of females to satisfy this desire. RALPH WING, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Plainfield and a county supervisor, demanded verification of a rumor that Gein had made off with the head of his wife's sister, Miss Eleanore Adams, 51, who was buried in Plain-field cemetery in 1951. Schley told Wing that Gein claimed the head was in his collection. The sheriff also revealed that Gein has given him a list of names on the tombstones where he conducted his ghoul raids. Plainfield residents said they could not believe the 140-pound bachelor had the time or strength to bt a grave robber.

Pat Danna, the sexton of Plainfield Cemetery, said it takes him a half day to dig a grave, even with help. He said in tombs with vaults, a "body snatcher" would need a block and tackle to get at the body and vaults are standard equipment in Plaim field because of the sandy soil in the area. Miss Adams was not buried in a vault. But funeral directors also pointed out that a grave robber would have had to shore up any excavations to keep the tomb from col-lasping on him. Danna insisted he had never seen evidence of grave-tampering in his cemetery since Gein started his head-hunting career in 1944.

Wr i SOME DAY- (unless you already put your lower half SLACKS Cu.slumucD fcu. I Washington (UP) President Eisenhower returned from his Georgia golfing vacation yesterday to tackle a series of crucial military and budget decisions and prepare for the North Atlantic Treaty meeting in Paris. The President, accompanied by Mrs. Eisenhower, arrived here at 3:13 p.m. aboard the presidential plane, Columbine III.

They were driven immediately to the White House for what may be one of Eisenhower's busiest periods since he took office. I he weeks immediately preceding the convening of Congress normally are busy ones for any chief executive since he must make final decisions on the new budget and work on the various messages to be laid before the lawmakers. BUT EISENHOWER'S problem has been complicated by the many urgent decisions demanded as a result of Russia's missile and satellite successes and his decision to attend the Paris meeting of NATO chiefs of state early next month. The decisions arrived at here and in Paris during the next few weeks could have an important bearing on the course of world events. In addition, the President must attend to the regular business of government and handle the routine of his office, including ceremonial occasions and the endless round of visitors that find their way to the White House.

He will hold a bipartisan meeting with congressional leaders of both parties Dec. 3 to go over the U.S. proposals which will be placed before the NATO meeting. Before going to Paris, he also plans to confer with Adlai E.

Stevenson, now serving as a NATO consultant. THE PRESIDENT also will hold a separate meeting with Republican Congressional lead ers on the legislative program he will lay before the election-year session of the Democratic-controlled 85th Congress. One of the thorniest pro" lems confronting Eisenhower was how much to step up the U.S. missiles program and the probable impact of such action on the budget. In shaping his domestic programs, the chief executive is committed to try to chop out less essential Federal programs to help defray the cost of an increased defense budget.

2,136 Flu Cases Reported In State Only 2,136 new influenza cases were reported in Indiana last week, just two weeks after a new record of 13,268 cases was set at the end of October. The State Board of Health said 45,303 cases have been reported in Indiana so far this year, with a possibility that a second big epidemic of Asian flu may hit in December or January.

Plainly, his mission will be to smooth ruffled British-French relations. Macmillan told the House of Commons he and Gaillard will discuss the Tunisian arms mix-up and next month's summit meeting of NATO powers.

DISAGREEMENT or misunderstanding over both the Tunisian arms matter and plans for beefing up the NATO alliance have sharply impaired the traditionally cordial relations between the two countries. Diplomatic sources in Lon don said Gaillard is expected to press for two guarantees from Macmillan: 1. That there will be no repetition of British and American arms shipments to Tunisia. 2. That France and other European countries will not be assigned a secondary role in NATO in the working out of plans to tighten co-ordination in the alliance.

BOTH THESE questions were discussed in Washington this week by French Foreign Minister Christian Pi-neau. He came away express ing optimism on both counts. But all sections of the French press said yesterday that Pi- fleau had leffWashington al most empty handed.
