DEATH OF AN ACTRESS
DEFENCE CASE OPENS IN MURDER TRIAL
The Defence case opened at the Criminal Sessions this morning in the trial of Le Ko, 44, un- registered doctor, and his 17-year-old daughter, Law Kin-lin, both charged with murder, when the first accused entered the witness box.
He testified that a Prosecution witness who had been granted the Queen's Pardon was the one who suggested introducing patients to him (the accused) at their first meeting in 1951.

EISENHOWER'S EDC REACTION.
Serious Setback To Achieve World Peace
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 30. President Eisenhower said today "there is no disguising the fact" that French rejection of the European Defence is a "serious setback" in the combined effort of free nations to achieve a stable world peace.
The President, speaking with ex-President Herbert Hoover at his side at the Iowa State Fair, was disappointed by the action of the French Parliament today. He added, however, "The free world still is overwhelmingly strong.”
