British Press
Blasts Visiting
Soviet Police Chief
LONDON, —Ivan A. Serov,
the Soviet police chief, flew into
London today to double check se
curity plans for the Khrushchev
Bulganin visit.
A howl of protest in the British
press and elsewhere preceded the
arrival of the hard-eyed successor
of the executed Lavrenty P. Beria.
The British press has dubbed
Serov “Ivan the Terrible.” He has
been pictured as responsible for
mass murders and deportations
throughout eastern Europe during
World War II.
“Serov the Thug Is Here Today”
is how the conservative Daily
Mail blazoned his arrival.
The libertal Manchester Guard
ian termed the tight-lipped police
man, “the odious Gen. Ivan Ser
ov” and the Daily Sketch called
him “the most sinister man in
Russia.”
Serov and a party of his top
lieutenants flew here to cohsult
. with Scotland Yard on plans to
guard Prime Minister Bulganin
and Communist Party Chief
Khrushchev during their 10-day
visit beginning April 18.
The current visit of former
Premier Georgi Malenkov and the
coming state tour by Bulganin
and Khrushchev aroused only
mild opposition here compared
with the trip by Serov.
Reduction in Wien's
Annual Mail Pay
Proposed by CAB
WASHINGTON, </P>—'The Civil
Aeronautics Board Wednesday
proposed a $312,000 reduction in
annual mail pay for Wien Alaska
Airlines, Fairbanks.
The CAB said if no objections
are filed within 10 days it may
order into effect a rate of 43.58
cents a revenue mile, which would
yield Wien $V,1'38,312 a year.
The board explained it recog
nized Wien’s nonscheduled ser
vices for rate making purposes.
The airline’s nonscheduled op
erations have grown larger than
its scheduled service because of
“the tremendous increase in char
ter operations arising out of the
construction of new national de
fense installations in Alaska,” the
CAB said.

Stevenson Will Work ‘Harder Than
Ever’ for Democratic Nomination
By the Assortated Press
Adlai Stevenson salvaged two
of Minnesota’s nine congressional
district, tardy returns in the
state’s presidential primary indi
cated Thursday.
Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn tossed a
blockbuster into the national pol
itical picture by his surprise vic
tory in the Tuesday election. He
not only swept the statewide vote,
but won seven districts.
Acknowledging he is no longer
a “front runner,” Stevenson said
Wednesday night in Chicago he
has no intention of withdrawing
from the presidential race and |
will “go to the Democratic Con
vention seeking the nomination.” ;
Stevenson Redoubles Efforts
“I am now prepared to woi-k
harder than ever . . . and ask my
kind friends everywhere to re
double their efforts, too,” Steven
son said at a news conference.
Stephen A. Mitchell, a leader of
the “rebound” forces, said the
Minnesota outcome should “wake
up” Stevenson supporters who
had thought the Democratic pres
idential campaign was “in the
bag” for Stevenson.
Republicans Swamped
Sen. Humphrey (D-Minnt said ’
in Washington that Stevenson
himself as well as his supporters
are “unwavering.” He added that
the high point of the Minnesota1
voting was the Democratic turn- 1
out “that swamped the Eisenhow
er-Knowland totals” on the Re- i
publican side.
With 3,640 of 3,863 precincts
reported, the Democrats had got
419.016 votes, the Republicans
195,621.
In Washington, D.C., several
Democrats contended Kefauver’s
Minnesota victory was a “repudi
ation” by Republican voters of
President Eisenhower’s farm pro
gram.
Short on Handshakes
! Asked in Chicago whether he
I should have shaken more hands,
I as Kefauver did, Adlai Stevenson
| smiled and said:
“There is no doubt handshaking
develops a close identity between
the shaker and the shakee.”
He said if anyone should worry
about the results in Minnesota it
should be President Eisenhower—
“mayioe more than me.”
“I do not propose to conjecture
about the possibility that thou
sands of loyal Republicans may
have voted in the Democratic pri
mary for the cynical purpose of
damaging the Democratic Party
in Minnesota or me,” he said.
LIPSTICK ON SHIRT QUERY
ANSWERED WITH PADDLE
SANTA MONICA, Calif., UP)—A
housewife obtained a divorce on
the ground that when she ques
tioned her husband about lipstick
on his shirt he spanked her with
a shoe.
Mrs. Letha Juanity Lebert testi
fied yesterday that, Richard Le
bert returned home from a party
and when she asked him to ex- >
plain the lipstick remarks he said:
“If you’re going to ask childish
questions I’ll treat you as a child.”
She said he did. He paddled her.
