He and Adlai Stevenson will be pitted in the Minnesota primary on March 20. Stevenson is due to start touring the state on March 2. The Tennessean came here after sky-hopping yesterday from Florida to Baltimore and back again to Winter Haven, Fla.

Criticizing Eisenhower administration policies on many counts, Kefauver told the cooperative group: "Of course, no one in the administration quite has the gall to risk the wrath of millions of farmers by a frontal attack" on the Rural Electrification Administration and power cooperatives. "But," he added, "they have most certainly launched an insidious attack." Kefauver outlined what he said was the administration's -REA program. This, he said, involved such moves as to cut requests for loan funds and to "create credit as well as to halt lending of funds for new cooperative generation and transmission facilities. Attendance Is Small For Benefit Dance Thursday night's snowfall and last night's dritzle combined to hold down attendance at the benefit square dance staged by the 40 and 8 Voiture 181, American Legion, last night to raise funds to finance a nursing education for a Battle Creek girl.

May Have to Evacuate Civil Defense Administrator Val Peterson told the Washing. ton meeting that once Russia develops intercontinental weapons any serious war threat may make it necessary to evacuate key American cities even before any hostilities. Hynes said the mayors were told that the Russians have a fleet of 1,500 planes capable of wiping out Boston for a 50-mile radius and then returning to Soviet territory.

And the planes are augmented with 400 submarines capable of crossing the Atlantic and returning to their So- viet bases without refueling, he added. "It is a serious and terrifying after the Joint of Staff prospect," Hynes callers "especially said that should the Russians attack their planes would strike this country from every direction." "Terrific plans never thought of two years ago will have to be developed for survival," Hynes said, adding that the military chiefs "feel that Russia is up to us or pretty close to us" in the development of nuclear arms. The Russians, however, recognize the striking back power of the United States, Hynes added, and probably would not start a nuclear war unless they could destroy our cities "in one fell blow."

City Detective Gustave Groat testified that the Texas officers were to start for Battle Creek on but that they had not yet Monday to pick up de la a Rosa, He also said that no explanation of the delay had been received.

Vanderploeg, who was a member of the executive committee, were the committee's chairman, Dan Gerber, president of the Gerber Products Co. of Fremont, and S. Coleman, president of the Burroughs vice chairman. Mr. Vanderploeg said this morning, "I had agreed to serve on the committee in the belief that it was more of an information group than a political pressure organization.

"I didn't have a clear understanding of the objectives of the committee and after reviewing them I came to the conclusion that they are not in line with present day Mr. Gerber also explained that he didn't have a very good concept of what the committee was attempting to do when he got into it. "Now that I have learned of its aims, I'm convinced I can't go along with them," he said.
