WV-Herman F.

Eber, 23-year-old Peoria slayer who has been dodging his dato with the electric chair more than 16 months, yesterday got another short term lease on life. The U. Circuit Court of Appeals granted him a stay of execution until Sept. 16. That will Rive him lime to make a new appeal to the U.

Supreme Court. However, the appeal court upheld his death sentence conviction. It was based upon Weber's appeal from a federal court order denying him a writ of habeas corpus, Weber was' ordered executed March 21, 1948, for the slaying of Flavol D. Ftteger, a Bradley University student slain Dec. 3, 1947, a robbery attempt, Fueger's body was found In a slough near Lewlstown, 111., 12 days after he was reported missing.

Weber won a reprieve from former Gov. Green last Jan, 5 and in March Gov, Stevenson extended it. to Aug. 1. His appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court was rejected as' was his first appeal to the U.

S. Supreme Court. Justice Sherman Mlnton wrote yesterday's 12-page opinion which concurred In by Justices .1. Earl, Major and Otto Kerner sr. Authorities said Weber first admitted iho slaying, but later repudiated his statement, claiming he made it to protect his wife.

Dirksen today called upon Republicans to get the United States "back on the beam." i He declared that "It Is all too evident that what Is proposed for our country by the present administration is Inn planned failure of Great Britain." The Pekin Republican, who la planning to run for U.

S. senator next year, was th? chief spenker for Republican Day at the 66lh annual Marlon County Soldiers and Sailors Reunion. In his speech, Dirksen asserted: "This is a lime for Republicans to reaffirm the moral tradition of the party and get this nation back on the beam. "That means reasserting our faith in the individual before he becomes completely lost In the planned philosophy which Is now Upon us. The individual is the very key to liberty.

"If we mean to save liberty, let's cleanse government of every person with diluted loyalties who would destroy what we have. Let's keep the country solvent and pay as we go." Dirksen said President Truman "finds strange delight" In criticizing the Republican "the same Congress which reduced taxes, set In motion the unification of our nrmed forces, exposed many subversive elements, lifted burdensome controls If the United States "goes to pot," he declared, "the whole world will go to pot with it and there will be no Marshall plans or recovery programs to ball It out." The one hope of "curbing big centralized government," he said, Is to "expand. the enjoyment of living for our 'people on the social front In proportion as we can afford it and kepp the operation of such programs at the local level." But, he went on, "Instead of resolute in the- field of economy, it is now proposed to spend even more on a variety of programs, on the ground that social progress must go forward even If It means bigger and better deficits." "This Is precisely the theory that was pursued in Groat Britain during the last four years and today she Is stone broke. "Today we've reached the point where we must determine whether we pay as we go or pay as we can. The former leads to confidence and solvency; the latter leads straight to managed government and socialism." Dirksen said Republicans lost the 1948 election because of a "lack of vital faith In the Republican tradition nnd a failure to cnrry that tradition to the people." He added: "Will if.

now be contended that we must forsake this tradition and to outlure and outpromlse the Fair Deal for the sake of victory?

surprise. For several weeks the House leaders have been debating whether the reoraniza- tlon act's jirovision is binding this year because technically the nation still is at vtar. The reorganization act says Congress shallfadjourn not later than July 31 of each year except in time of war Or national emergency, or unless'Congress extends the session by affirmative action. Both Me (D-Okla), rtin and.Rep. Monroney co-author of-the reorganization law, said there may be some doubt of the validity of any act nfter July 31 unless a resolution continuing the session is passed.

There is no use taking a chance, Martin sad. Behind the maneuvering is a desire on the part of many menv bers that a definite adjournment date be set' immediately so they can make their future plans. No such date has been set, but Democratic leajers are talking about a Sept. 1 deadline. They still hope for action on a minimum wage bill, a bill extending socia security coverage, and the administration's foreign arms aid bill.
