Acllai and Estes
In Minnesota for
| Tuesday Primary
By the Associated Press
Adlai Stevenson showed irrita
tion yesterday at Sen. Estes Ke
fa uver of Tennessee for criticizing
Minnesota Democratic-farmer-la
bor party leaders “merely because
they saw fit to endorse me.”
Kefauver, Stevenson’s rival in
the Minnesota Democratic presi
dential primary next Tuesday, de
clined comment on the incident.
Stevenson told an audience at
Eveleth, Minn., last night “the
great unrelenting purpose of the
Republicans “is to set the Demo
crats “fighting among ourselves.”
He added that the GOP “cer
tainly” should not have the help
of Democrats “in that mission.”
As they stumped different parts
of Minnesota, both candidates de
nounced roundly the Eisenhower
Administration’s policies at home
and abroad.
In the Republican camp, Rep.
Halleck of Indiana said last night
that a peace, tax reductions, budg
et cuts, social welfare legislation
and what he said was the fact
that “we’ve been throwing the
Communists out” would assure a
GOP victory in November.
And Gov. Joe Foss of South Da
kota, a visitor to the White House
yesterday, quoted President Eis
enhower as saying that part of
his philosophy of government is
to make decisions “without
thought of whether they garner
you votes.”

Gronehi returned home Thursday,
apparently deeply impressed by
his visit to the United States and
Canada. He was hailed for ce

Welcomed at the airport by
Premier Antonio Segni with “the
warmly affectionate greetings of
the whole Italian people who fol
lowed every word” of the Presi
dent’s speeches abroad, Gronehi

determination.”
Georgi Malenkov
Arrives in London
LONDON, —Oeorgi Malen
kov, former Soviet Premier, ar
rived in the western world for the
first time in his life Thursday and,
smiling broadly, said he had come
seeking knowledge.
Heading a group of Soviet elec
trical experts for a three-week
tour of Britain, Malenkov said
after stepping from his plane at
London Airport: “We’ve arrived
to acquire knowledge—knowledge
of the system of public power
supply and of the operation of the
public power stations.”
Scotland Yard threw a strict
security net around the arrival of
Malenkov and his 14-man delega
tion. That same net will cover
them throughout the tour.
Only a handful of newsmen was
allowed near the Russian party.
Others had to watch the arrival
from the airport roof. Similar
precautions were forecast for the
visit beginning April 18 of Soviet
Premier Bulganin and Commu
nist Party Secretary Khrushchev.
* * *
Malenkov, smiling and gay, to
day joined Londoners’ morning
rush hour for his first real look
at the teeming British capital.
Office girls and early shoppers
clustered around as Malenkov
stepped from his car with a broad
smile across his sallow, pudgy
face.
The Russians themselves broke
down the security curtain.

West Prepares for Prevention of
Flare-lip in Strife lorn Middle
East as V iolence, Unrest Continue
(By the Associated Press*
Masked machinegunners set fire
to a huge French garage today in
the city of Algiers—outbreak
of Middle East trouble that had
repercussions around the' world.
In western Algeria, guerillas
sabotaged communications with
tactics that recalled operations of
the Communist - led Vietminh
against the French in Indochina.
The French put a midnight to
5 a.m. curfew in Algiers and sent
troops scurrying over the country
side in search of the saboteurs.'
The Algiers machinegunners
seized the garage just before 2
a.m., held off watchmen, poured
gasoline over the floor and set it
ablaze. More than 100 cars were
destroyed.
All-Out Repression
At Paris, Premier Guy Mollet’s
government got a final go-ahead
from the French Parliament for
an all-out figlft to smash rebellion
in Algeria.
But French colonists in the
stormy North African area posed
the more immediate problem with
a demand that death sentences
hanging over some 85 Moslem ter
rorists be carried out by next
Wednesday. A committee repre
senting virtually every major
group among the 1,000,000 Euro
pean residents of Algeria said that
they would shut down all munici
pal offices and stop cooperating
with authorities if their ultima
tum was not met.
Explosive Situation
One veteran observer of the
16-month-old revolt warned in
Algiers: “The whole thing could
blow up in our faces in a minute.”
In London, Prime Minister Eden
took note of the unrest and as
serted Britain never will abdicate
its position as a great world pow
er. Speaking at a Conservative
Party rally, Eden said a policy of
abdication could only end in neu
tralism, “and to be neutral for
Britain is slow death.”
West Prepared for Outbreak
Diplomatic quarters in Wash
ington said the U.S., Britain and
France apparently have reached
a basic understanding on the mili
tary measures they may take if a
second Arab-Israeli war is started.
Algeria, Cyprus and the Holy
Land are interlinked in a broad
pattern of trouble, actual and po
tential.
The British used the curfew
against the Cypriot port of Limas
sol, which they described as al
ways a bad trouble spot in the
terrorist campaign of Union-With
Greece advocates.
In Jerusalem, an Israeli army
spokesman reported some ineffec
tive Arab sniping from the Jordan
occupied old city and a fresh ex
change of fire on the Gaza fron
tier.
Two Men Held Because
Pure Corn Liquor Ran
From Kitchen Faucet
DETROIT, iJP) — Two men were
held for investigation today be
cause their kitchen faucet didn’t
run water. It ran pure corn liquor,
sheriff’s deputies said.
The deputies said they found
two 600-gallon stills running in a
chicken coop outside a home in
suburban Sumpter Township.
Serving as a “coil,” they said,
was a pipe leading through sub
freezing weather to a kitchen tap.
Capt. Clayton Johnson of the
sheriff’s road patrol, said 91 gal
lons were seized, along with Earl
Arms, 34, and Edward McAmis,
35.

More Money for
DEW Line Work
WASHINGTON UP>—The Senate
yesterday rushed through a bill
making available an additional
$72 million for work on the Dis
tant Early Warning (DEW Line)
system in northern Canada and
Alaska.
The measure was sent to the
House by voice vote after only a
minute’s discussion.
The bill does not appropriate
new money, but gives the Air
Force authority to spend up to $72
million more on the radar “fence”
in the fiscal year ending June 30.
The Air Force had been given
authority to spend $98,552,000 on
the system in the current fiscal
year by Congress last summer.
But the construction has pro
ceeded at a faster pace than ex
pected and also has proved more
costly than was forecast.
Sponsors of the bill said it orig
inally was expected the portion
of the DEW Line now being built
would cost $104 million, but that
has been revised upwards to $420
millions.
Eisenhower Invites
Nehru to Visit U.S.
WASHINGTON, {3—Prime Min
ister Nehru of India, whose neu
trality policies are frequently
criticized in Congress as lending
comfort to the Soviet bloc, has
been invited to visit the United
States as President Eisenhower’s
guests.
The bid to the Indian leader
was disclosed Wednesday night by
Murray Snyder, assistant White
House press secretary. He said it
was extended on behalf of Eisen
hower last week by Secretary of
State Dulles during Dulles’ visit
to New Delhi.
Snyder said he did not know
whether Nehru accepted, nor
when such a visit might take
place.
