Defense Hammers
At Testimony in
Axilrod Death Case
Minneapolis U.R) The de
fense hammered away today at
the testimony of a detective cap
tain who testified that Dr. A.
Arnold Axilrod admitted that he
"must have" strangled one of his
pretty young patients.
Capt. Eugene Bernath was re
called to the stand following a
day of cross - examination in
which he defended himself
against charges that he bungled
an investigation for clues into
the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Mary
Moonen, 21.
Accused of Strangling
Axilrod, a 50-year-old dentist,
is accused of strangling Mrs.
Moonen April 22 after she had
threatened to "tell the world"
he made her pregnant.
Mrs. Moonen, whose husband
was serving with the Army in
Korea at the time, was found
sprawled in an alley in the fash
ionable Lake of the Isles district
early April 23.
Bernath said Wednesday that
he asked Axilrod "if the pathol
ogist in this case would say Mary
Moonen was strangled to death,
what would you say?"
No On Else There
He quoted the dentist as an
swering, "If the pathologist says
she was strangled, it must have
been me. There was no one else
there."
Bernath said Axilrod, married
and the father of two children,
denied he was the father of Mrs
Moonen's unborn child and add
ed that "I never had intercourse
with her up until last night."
Defense attorney Sidney Goff
fired one sharp question after
another at Bernath in an effort
to show that he overlooked pos
sible evidence that might have
deed Axilrod. He criticized
Kim particularly for not check
ing under each fingernail for
scrapings and for not examining
her purse.

Back Stairs: Many Want Ike's Business
By WARREN DUFFEE
United Press Correspondent
Denver U.R) Backstairs at
the temporary White House:
The White House's delay, in
announcing a firm decision on
where President Eisenhower will
spend his convalescent period
has started anew wave of guess
ing and spurred the faint hopes
of half a hundred chambers of
commerce here and there.
The temporary White House
has received a steady stream of
feelers and offers, suggesting
that Mr. Eisenhower spend the
necessary weeks of recuperation
after he leaves the hospital at
this or that self-styled paradise.
The President's farm at Gettys
burg, Pa., remains the best bet,
but it still is not a certainty.
Both the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower like the farm, and
the first lady has given consid
erable thought to going there
after the hospitalization period
ends here.
But the doctors may have the
final say-so. If they feel that' a
warmer climate is important
enough, some other spot may be
selected.
The decision is especially im
portant to such news media as
the wire services, radio net
works, etc. For them it involves
planning and preparation, men,
money and equipment.
Officers Investigate
Six-Year-Old Death
Walla Walla (U.R) Sheriff's
officers today continued an in
vestigation into the death six
years ago of Donald McDonald,
18, after discounting theories the
youth was gored to death by an
elk while hunting.
McDonald's body was found
by deer hunters in a Blue Moun
tain gorge last week. The boy
disappeared while elk hunting
in December, 1949, and the
skeleton of an elk was found
with his remains.
However, sheriffs deputies to
day said a medical examination
showed the animal had not been
dead as long as the McDonald
youth. They said McDonald prob
ably died in a fall, or was shot
by another hunter.

Newspaper readers who close
ly follow the President's daily
menus on his 1600 calorie-a-day
diet were quick to note that, his
customary skimmilk or butter
milk was missing from his sup
per the other night.
But his dieticians had a ready
explanation. '
The President was permitted
a "small piece of chocolate cake

go to keep his total intake in
side the 1600-calorie boundary.

The White House staff insists
that the question of the Presi
dent's running again next year
hasn't even been broached to
him. by anyone since his Sept. 24
heart attack.
However, reporters covering
the temporary White House see
increasing signs that a lot of
wheels are turning in connection
with when and how the Presi
det will annouce his decision
and who, if anyone, he will en
dorse if he steps out of the pic
ture. One unheralded visitor yester
day was Paul G. Hoffman, head
of Studebaker-Packard Corp.
and one of the earliest and
staunchest backers of Mr. Eisen
hower for the presidency. He
did not see the President but
conferred at length with tight-
lipped Sherman Adams, the
chief executive's top assistant,
at the temporary White House
at Lowry Air Force Base.
Also in town at the same time
was Dr. Milton Eisenhower, the
President's youngest brother
and one of his most trusted ad
visors. The Pennsylvania ' State
University president has been
suggested in some quarters as a
possible presidential candidate
himself. '
The White House said flatly
that Dr. Eisenhower's visits with
the President were purely "fam
ily." But he and Hoffman are close
friends. They had a session to
gether yesterday. . And Milton
Eisenhower had another closed
door pow-wow with Adams af
ter a mid-day visit with the
President at Fitzsimmons Army
Hospital.
Philadelphia's Pennsylvania
hospital, established in 1752,
was one of the first hospitals
in the U.S. the cornerstone was
lead by Benjamin Franklin in
the year of 1755.

Most Farmers Start
On Borrowed Capital
Ithaca, N. Y U.PJ A man
has to have $15,000 to $20,000 to
begin farming these days, ac
cording to Dr. C. A. Bratton,
Cornell University economist.
Bratton, who makes a special
ty of helping budding farmers,
said most of them get a start by
borrowing capital from parents,
some start in a partnership with
an older, more experienced
farmer.
