AdIai and Estes
 In Minnesota for Tuesday Primary
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Adlai Stevenson showed irrita- ton yesterday at Sen. Estes Ke fauver of Tennessee for criticizing Minnesota Democratic-fa -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 lis to set the Demo- crats fighting among ourselves. ,"
 He added that the COP "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 Administrations policies at home and abroad.
 In the Republican camp, Rep. Halleck of Indiana said last night that a peace, tax reductions, budg- ct cuts, social welfare legislation and what he said was the fact that we've been throwing the Communists out" would assure a COP victory in November.
 And Gov. Joe Foss of South Da- kota, 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"

Georgi Malenkov
 Arrives in London

LONDON, R-Georgi 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 cleo trical experts for 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 Is of Soviet Premier Bulganin and Commit mist 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 broad smile across his sallow, pudgy face.
 The Russians themselves broke down the security curtain.

More Money for
 DEW Line Work

WASHINGTON R,-The Senate yesterday rushed through bill making available an additional SIP 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 minutes discussion.
 The bill does not appropriate new money, but gives the Air Force authority to spend up to SIP 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.

Rocket Power Predicted for All Vehicals

LOS ANGELES, R-All forms of motive power on earth eventu- ally will be rocket, completely revolutionizing vehicular move ment, says Andrew G. Haley, board chairman of the American Rocket Society.
 He told an AIRS conference yes terday that all present concepts of speed will have to be discarded for autos, trains, ships and every thing that moves by power.
 Controlled guidance will take over within 50 to 100 years" Ha- ley said. "An auto driver entering a freeway in Los Angeles will be able to set his electronic receiver to the proper frequency, and his car, from that point, will be cleo ironically guided to New York or whatever destination he selects, without further help from him.
 "In fact, he can safely spend the entire time sleeping, if he so desires.'
 New fuels will be used, said Haley.

 All-Out Repression
 At Paris, Premier Guy Mollet'S government got final go-ahead from the French Parliament for an aIl-out fight 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 100000 Euro pean residents of Algeria said that they would shut down all munich pal offices and stop cooperating with authorities if their ultima tum was not met.

 One veteran observer of the 16-month-old revolt warned in Algiers: "The whole thing could blow up in our faces in minute" :"
 In London, Prime Minister Eden took note of the unrest and as serted Britain never will abdicate it's position as great world pow CT. Speaking at a Conservative Party rally, Eden said policy of abdication could only end in neu- tralism, "and to be neutral for Britain is slow death"
