Denver (U.R) John Gilbert
Graham denied in county jail
late Thursday that he time-bombed
a United Air Lines DC6B and
hinted that his mother one of
the 44 victims of the crash
might have set off the explosive
herself in a suicide.
In a copyrighted story, Al
ICakkula, a Rocky Mountain
News reporter, quoted the 23-year-old
suspect as saying he
signed a written FBI confession
because ''they told me they were
going to put my wife In jail and
I'd better get it straightened
out myself."
Graham said FBI agents start
ed questioning him at about noon
last Sunday and "didn't stop
until I signed a confession about
4 a.m. the next morning."
When asked if he put a "pres
ent or a bundle of dynamite" in
his mother's luggage, Graham
replied:
"I didn't put anything in her
luggage. I only bought some
straps to put around the luggage
. . . the hinges on the suitcase
were breaking. I don't want to
discuss the present."
The Nakkula asked: "Did you
have a premonition of your
mother's death before -you had
been formally notified of it?"
Mother Called Friends
To this question Graham re
plied: "I didn't, she had. She
called everybody she could think
of before she left."
Graham said his mother, Mrs.
Daisie King, had been ill and
was hospitalized twice last sum
mer, and was "sort of depressed
or nervous since Mr. King died
last year." King was the wom
an's second husband and Gra
ham's step-father.
"I don't have any theories as
to the cause of the crash or what
happened," Graham said when
pressd for an explanation con
cerning the explosives that rip
ped the plane apart in flight
and set it hurtling to the ground.
Reconstructed parts of the
blast-torn plane will be used in
Graham's murder trial: He al
legedly admitted dynamiting the
airliner to collect S37.500 insur
ance money on his mother.
Graham, who was granted an
11-day stay of arraignment
Thursday to secure "adequate
counsel," was calm and confi
dent when he appeared before
District Judge James M. Nolan
of Durango.
Graham asked Judge Noland
for a 30-day stay of arraignment
but his request was promptly
turned down.
Late Thursday, District Attor
ney Bert Keating disclosed that
he was virtually certain Mrs.
King had signed the $37,500 in
surance policy and' made her
son the beneficiary.
The district attorney said Mu
tual Omaha, which owned the
vending machine from which
Mrs. King's policies were pur
chased, sent him six policy forms.
Two of them, he said, were
blank; one apparently was signed
by Mrs. King and made out for
the $37,500; another was made
for the same amount but not
signed by Mrs. King, and two
were made out to. Mrs. King's
sister, Mrs. Helen Smith of St.
Genevieve, Mo., and to her
daughter, Mrs. Helen Hablutzel
of Anchorage, Alaska.
Keating . said the company
would not pay off on the pol
icies mad out to Graham, and
had not decided whether to
honor the ones made out to the
sister and daughter.

United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Two Re
publican governors have just
been heard from on the subject
of the 1956
GOP presiden
tial nomina
tion. One govern
or hopes Mr.
E i s e n h o wer
will not run
again. The
other hopes he
does. What
they had to
say adds up to
considerable support for the idea
that Mr. Eisenhower is the
GOP's indispensable man, after
all.
Governor No. 1 was Utah's J.
Bracken Lee. Lee is for Sen. Wil
liam F. Knowland of California
for the Republican presidential
nomination. He said health con
siderations should forbid Mr. Ei
senhower running again.
What he had to say is cited
here as evidence of a real divis
ion within the Republican Party.
He repudiated Eisenhower's for
eign and domestic policies, espe
cially on ground of failing to re
duce government spending suf
ficiently. The governor said the
Republican administration was
conducting give-away programs
begun by the Democrats. He
wants farm subsidies discon
tinued.
Magazine Favors Knowland
If that is not sufficient evi
dence of trouble on the Republi
can front, there is the material
in a new weekly publication,
"The National Review." The first
issue laid down strategy by
which conservative Republicans
hope to nominate Knowland for
president.
Knowland evidently is will
ing. He had a story in the maga
zine titled "Peace With Honor,"
assailing Eisenhower adminis
tration foreign policy. He wrote
that foreign policy would be a
big issue in next year's cam
paign. Magazine publisher is
William F. Buckley Jr., who with
Associate Editor L. Brent Bo
zell was co-author of a book de
fending Sen. Joseph R. Mc
Carthy (R-Wis.).
The conservative rebellion
against Mr. Eisenhower sparked
by Lee, McCarthy, Knowland
and others was a political dud
after it undertook an organiza
tional meeting in Chicago some
months ago. Bozell conceded in
his strategy discussion that the
anti-Eisenhower movement was
embalmed until the President's
heart attack achieved a miracu
lous restoration.
All of the foregoing is evi
dence of a real party split as
well as the division in the Demo
cratic Party. The Republican
breach would close instantly
with announcement that Mr. Ei
senhower would be a second
term candidate. The right wing
would fold.
Governor No. 2 Is Fred Hall
of Kansas. He told National Re
publican Club diners in New
York this week that the Repub
lican Party is in a bad way for
several reasons:
1. Too marfy Republicans op
pose Mr. Eisenhower's philos
ophy and program.
2. The party is turning away
the support of millions of Amer
icans, especially those on the
farms and in labor unions.
Hall said it must get in step

with the President and realize
that there is no longer any vote
appeal in extreme conservatism.
The American choice, he said, is
not now between conservative
and progressive ideas but be
tween progressive ideas and
ideas which are far more radi
cal.
Hall said Mr. Eisenhower
would lick any opponent put
against him if he is a candidate
next year. Bozell, for the con
servatives, conceded that their
movement was alive only be
cause the President was, ill. It
all adds up to admission from
both sides that only Mr. Eisen
hower would be a sure bet to
win for the Republicans next
time.
