Ratification Of

EDC

Denver, Colorado, Aug. 25.

Mr Adlai Stevenson, 1952 Democratic candidate for the United States Presidency, has written to M. Pierre Mendes-France, the French Prime Minister, telling him that American support for EDC was above partisan politics.

Mr Stevenson issued this statement regarding the letter: "I wrote a personal letter to my friend, M. Mendes-France, with whom I had had several long talks during my trip last year, because I, like most Ameri- cans, was alarmed by developments in France with respect to EDC.

The doctor, Lo Ko, altas Low Hor, 44, and his daughter, Law Kin-lin, 17, are standing trial for the alleged murder of Ng Sul-ping, alias Ng Ngar-yee, 17- year-old film actress, on May 15.)
