Going Places
The general picture, It was agreed, was that of a community going places. The National Muni¬ cipal League, with headquarters at 298 Broadway, New York City, was founded in 1894 and incorporated in 1923 as a "citizens organization for better government."
Its council, headed by Charles Edison, chairman, includes such name* as Harold W. Dodds, Prince¬ ton, N. J., and George E. Gallup. Former presidents include: Charles Evans Hughes, C. A. Dykstra, John G. Winant, Charles Edison and Harold   W.   Dodds.

YORK—Police hunted for twoMrrlfled boys, one 13 and the othef nine, who peddled away on a bicycle In panic after the older ehild accidentally killed his sister while playing "war."
Daniel Feiler, a high school freshman, shot his sister Marion, 11. tn the left temple with his father's .:;2 calibre rifle while the Parents were at a movie Friday »» .ht Reeame Terrified
Police said that although the ^hooting apparently was accident¬ al the boy became terrified, emp- Ucii his bank of $20 and  fled on

Senators in Accord On Minority Roles; Look to 1954 Voting
WASHINGTON -- With Presi¬ dent Truman headed for retire ment, Democratic senators have devised a united "battle plan' they said yesterday should regain their < cngressional majority in 1954 ana recapture the White Hoifse  In  laSfi.
The plan is to plso' down sec tional aiffe'cncts and. In the next two years, concentrate on unity in "broader mstters" relating to n«t!ona't fiscal and social welfare problerai.
Several key Senate Democrat* openly refer te the pr posal as a ' battle plan " It has bean develop¬ ing informall" in talks tjmong the Democratic leaders since their majority status vanished In the Eisenhower Uinisi'.dt.
Sen. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala), defeated vice piesidential candi¬ date, said the minority party is "pretty well i -.fied now" and in the new Co.igrt.M will be ready to cooperate on constructive prO' posals. "We won't oppose just for the sake of opposing," he said.
Cross-checking of Senate Dem ocrats from all sections produced this "battle plan" picture:
1.—No fight in Congress over the question of Democratic lead- eisbip. In the area from the At antic seaboard to the Rocky Mountains and from New Eng' land lo the Mason-Dlxon Line, only eight Democratic senators will be around for the 8Srd Con¬ gress. Leadership posts will be ceded, virtually without question, (Continued on Pfege A-14)
