Adlai, Estes Hit Eisenhower
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UP) Adalie E. Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefaauer (D-Tenn.) bucked the snow, ice, and rain today in their fight for votes in Minnesota's Democratic presidential primary.
The two candidates stuck to a fast pace, even though iy roads kept Sen. Kefauver from making a speech at Winona last night and Mr. Stevenson's plane landed on a snow-drifted runway at Grand Rapids.
Although they are battling each other in Minnesota's March 20 primary, they kept their fire concentrated on President Eisenhower and his administration's farm and foreign policies.
Mr. Stevenson brought up the question of Mr. Eisenhower's health at Thief River Falls. He said he did not want to make it an issue, "but the manner in which he proposes to conduct the duties of the presidency obviously is a public matter."
Mr. Stevenson recalled that Mr. Eisenhower said he would have to cut down on some of his activities and asked "does this mean that we are being asked to alter the terms of service of the chief executive and therefore to reconstitute our highest office?"
Sen. Kefauver also said he is not making an issue of the president's health. But he served notice that "I will criticize the failure to reach decisions and the failure to give sufficient time to the office."
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt also hit the icy Minnesota campaign trail for Mr. Stevenson.
She told Minneapolis audiences that "we are in a time of crisis and we need Mr. Stevenson's kind of leadership." Leaders and people of nations around the world are "impressed with his desire for friendship and with his understanding of their problems," she said.
Lawyers, Brothers Win $32,000
NEW YORK (UP)—A team of two brothers won $32,000 on a television quiz program last night by answering a series of questions on English literature.

DENVER (U.P.)—John Gilbert Graham, accused of blowing up an air liner in a plot to kill his mother, must stand trial for murder before a jury against his wishes.
Graham Must Stand Trial
District Judge Joseph M. McDonald, who will preside at Graham's trial, refused yesterday to grant a defense motion that he alone hear the case.
District Attorney Bert Keating said the defense motion was out of order because, under Colorado law, a jury must determine the degree of guilt in murder cases. The judge, Keating said, can only pass sentence in the light of the jury's finding.
Graham, 24, is accused of planting a dynamite time bomb in his mother's luggage last Nov. 1, the night she boarded a United Air Lines plane for Seattle, in order to collect trip insurance on her life. The plane exploded in the air about 30 miles north of Denver. Graham has confessed the crime, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which arrested him.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP)—Democratic National Chairman Paul M Butler said Tuesday night that Mr Eisenhower's health, which he himself made an issue, will "enter the campaign."
Mr. Butler and Republican National Chairman Leonard W. Hall were panelists on the Kansas City Press Club's third annual Griddle Show. Appearing with them were Parke Carroll, business manager of the Kansas City Athletics; General Manager Frank Lane of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Cartoonist Walt Kelly.
Ike Made Health Issue, Butler Says
At a press conference before the show, Mr. Butler said, "The Democrats are not making the President's health an issue. The President made his health an issue himself. It is a matter of vital concern to the American people and it will enter the campaign."
Mr. Hall said the Democrats "will regret it, if they do. In 1944 the Republicans considered the same possibility, but decided if they made President Roosevelt's health an issue it would cost votes."
Mr. Butler expressed the opinion that former President Harry S. Truman will be "active in the
He added that "Mr. Truman is like an old fire horse who is ready to go as soon as he hears the bell."
