L. E. Switier, a farmer living about 11 miles east of here sighted the beast last night, shot at it, and thought "from the way the animal thrashed about' that ht might have wounded it. Switzer told the police from nearby Alton that he was walking through his cornfield hunting for crows when his three hunting dogs began growling. He followed them as they dashed through the corn and suddenly came upon the animal which he described as four urope Council Rejects Irish Partition Vote Strasbourg, France, Aug.

13 (AP) By an overwhelming show of hands, the Council of Europe's Assembly today rejected Ireland's attempt to call up the Irish partition problem for debate. Ireland had sought to have the newly-created assembly take a hand in it's long-standing demands for union of Northern Ireland with the 26-county republic to the south. Strong opposition to the controversial proposal came from most British delegates to the 101-mem-ber Asembly. Since 1921 the six counties of Northern Ireland have been part of the United Kingdom, along with England, Scotland and Wales. THE IRISH move was part of a growing revolt of Assembly members seeking greater freedom ki its debates.

Under council of Europe rules, the agenda for Assembly debates is determined by the committee of ministers, representing the 12 member governments. Assembly delegates, led by Britain's Winston Churchill, have been fighting for the right to debate any subject they please. The committee of ministers earlier this week rejected Ireland's proposal to debate Irish partition. It submitted an agenda which 11 a Rita Hayworth, left, screen actress wife of Prince Aly Khan, meets smiling Bebe Shopp of Hopkins, Minn, Miss ed them to strip for searching.

I. (AP WIKEPHOTO) 'The Veep' Has Another Date With Mrs. Hadley St. Louis, Aug. i2 (UP) Vice-President Alben W.

Bark-ley, 71 and hearty, headed here today to pick up his attrac tive Mrs. Carleton S. Hadley, to help him dedicate a Paducah, airport named tor him. Both the assistant chief executive and the pretty 37-year-old St. Louis widow denied that they planned to elope following the dedication.

Nevertheless rumors persisted they would do so. Barkley and Mrs. Hadley insisted that they were merely a "friendly" couple. In Washington yesterday, Bark-ley said he was "trying to protect a charming woman from rurriors and deductions that have come up just because we are friends." MRS. HADLEY added to that.

She said vaguely that there would be "no marriage in Paducah this Sunday nor in St. Louis the following weekend." The rumors went on anyway. Yesterday, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson popped into a ceremony for Barkley at a Washington cabinet meeting. "Some.body asked me if I was going to be best man," he grinned. "I said that was premature." Barkley has had three previous dates with Mrs.

Hadley. The vice-president previously was showered with questions concerning matrimony when, ir. crowning a beauty queen, he promised to "crown a queen of my own some day and take her home with me." YESTERDAY, the vice president was given a special gold medal authorized by congress for his "distinguished service" to the nation. After the ceremony, newshawks wanted to know about the rumored elopement with Mrs. Hadley after the ceremonies at Paducah, Bark-ley's hometown.

He denied such a plan and said marriage between them had not been discussed "even on the fringes." Mrs. Hadley will be accompanied to Paducah by one of her two teen-aged daughters, 17-year-old Anne Hadley. Mrs. Hadley's late husband was a chief counsel for the Wabash railroad.

13 (AP) A psychology professor killed himself in a church today after bidding his friends goodby, paying his, bills and leaving a note he was "very sane." The body of J. C. Stewart, dean of men and psychology professor at Ouachita college, was found behind the pulpit of the First Baptist church shortly before noon. A bullet had pierced his head. A .2 caliber rifle was lying near the bcd.

Professor Stewart, about 65, had spent most of the morning in down-tuwn Arkadelphia paying bills and shaking hands with friends. He ordered his newspaper subscription stopped. Sherif Andrew Widener said a note left by the professor stated: "You have been wondering whether a man planning suicide is sane. As a psychologist I can tell you he is sometimes very sane." "I have been in ill health for the past four months, have only about three months left to live. I suffer constantly in all parts of my body at all times.

And the bill may be made out in such unexpected and unpleasant terms as higher taxes, higher prices, or even fewer jobs. It was suggested recently, for in- tmrp ihnt nn of th hippest pnmnflnips in the United States should give the public lower prices instead of paying an extra dividend to stock olders. The suggestion was bound to be popular, though steel prices already were far lower than those of other metals. Lower prices always sound good to the customer I But suppose the steel company had followed the advice.

How muchj would the price cut have been? The extra dividend referred to I amounted to eieht million dolars. That would have been enough to allow a price reduction of 7-20 of one per cent. How much dollar-and-cents difference this would make in the cost of a ton of steel will not be analyzed here because most readers of this article do not buy tons of steel. Let's take a $10 hat instead. A 7-20 of one per cent price cut on a $10 hat would save you 3 cents.

They include suggestions for greater political unity, measures to protect human rights, establishment of European passports superseding national passports, a European patent office and joint public works programs. Under a compromise reached yesterday, the committee of ministers is bound to consider any agenda proposals endorsed by a two-thirds vote of tb.s Assembly. But even then the ministers have the power to veto discussion.

VETO OF any agenda proposals made by the Assembly is sure to bring a showdown between the Assembly and the ministerial committee. Churchill has argued that the Assembly be allowed free debate like any national Parliament. At present the Council of Europe has only authority to make recommendations to member governments with no power for enforcement. In a speech last night to Stras-bourgers, Churchill said he hoped the consultative Assembly will one day become the Parliament of Europe. "Old feuds must die' Churchill declared.

However, there was reported dissension a-mong board members over the issue of hiring a younger farm adviser with knowledge of modern agricultural techniques.
