Four Safe After Night On Erie Fremont Girls Given Scare As Boat Stalls Two Fremont young women and two Lima, youths, the latter two students at Ohio Wesleyan university, Delaware, spent a lonely night off the northeast corner of Kelley's Island on choppy Lake Erie Wednesday, were well but weary today. The Misses Charleen A kin, Herbster street, and Mary Zilles, 21, Riley township, had gone to Put-In-Bay Wednesday for a picnic with Robert Mack and Don Bambauer, both of Lima.

These presidential lieutenants in Newport have said repeatedly that Eisenhower never will take the tive and tell Adams he is through.

They said Adams will have to make up his own mind. Goes Through Agony They picture the wiry, white. haired Adams as going through the greatest agony of his 59 years in trying to reach a decision.
