Face Big Test In Minnesota Minneapolis (INS)--Minnesota votes today in the second presidential primary of 1956---an early showdown of Democratic strength between Adlai E. Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn).

Kefauver supporters were encouraged by a forecast of mild, partially cloudy weather that promised a turnout or perhaps half-a-million voters. Both'sides felt that good weather would help the senator in rural areas where tie is believed strongest. At stake in the election are 57 Democratic national convention delegates, not to mention the political reputation of Democratic-Farmer-Labor Patty leaders whose endorsement of Stevenson keep the "underdog" Kefauver out of the Minnesota race. These include Gov. Orville L.

Freeman, Sen. Hubert Humphrey and Lt. Gov. Karl F. Rolvaag.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the presidential primary, which is only the second held under the present Minnesota law. In 1952, when President Eisenhower received a. big write-in vote, some 426,000 Democratic and Republican voters turned out in bad weather.

Today's election was important because it provided the first direct test of strength between Stevenson and Kefauver. Although Kefauver Won the New Hampshire presidential primary last week in a clean sweep of delegates, Stevenson did not personally enter or campaign'in that state. Republicans in Minnesota concentrated on getting out as big a vote as possible for President Eisenhower, a sure GOP winner although Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif), still had a slate of delegates on.the ballot Stevenson returned to Chicago after a final round of speeches in which he said he would be "very content" to win 55 or 60 per cent of the Minnesota votes.

Best estimates indicated that Kefauver, who started in' this contest as a challenger with only an outside chance of winning any delegates, has made considerable gains and might take some delegates from Stevenson. The Minnesota, primary law gives the winner of each of the nine congressional districts two delegates, with 39 at-large delegates going to the candidate who wins the statewide preferential contest.

Parent Responsibility Bill Signed (Staff Correspondence) Albany--Gov. Harriman has disapproved a measure sponsored by Sen.

Stanley J. Bauer and Assemblyman William Butler, Buffalo Republicans, which would have made parents financially responsible "for property damage done by their children. The governor pointed out that there had been unusual controversy over the bill and that it passed the Senate by a 30-24 vote. Harriman said sponsors of the bill believed that it would cause parents to "exercise greater control over their children and hence to reduce the number of acts of vandalism." But he said opponents of the bill "point out that its burden will fall particularly on low-in- 'ome families and that it would limit the liability of parents who are financially able Lo pay considerably more than the $250 for damage caused by their children." "They also stress the fact," the Ipvernor commented, "that the bill may lead to added strain in families where relationship are already tense and might even give to troublesome delinquents a weapon against their parents which they would not hesitate to use." The governor said a number of leading agencies and organizations dealing with youth problems had registered opposition to the measure.
