Selection Os Graham Jury Slow Process Graham Accused Os Airliner Murders DENVER (INS) —The trial of neer-do-well John Gilbert Graham. £-1, accused of committing the biggest mass murder In American history, moved into Ms second session today in the district court of Denver. Selection of a jury was the business at haud-a slow and tedious process. .Graham, a tall, slender, boyishlooking defendant with a week, receding chin and a poker-faced denseanor, is specifically charged with only one murder —that of his mother. But in the tragic liouidatlon of her, 43 other innocefit victims tost their lives in an airplane explosion. The young defendant with the ciew hair cut is alleged to have placed a dynamite bomb, with a timing device, in the luggage of his mother. Mrs. DaJsie King, 55, who boarded United Air Lines Mainliner at Stapleton Field Nov. 1, 1955. 1 Lawyers for the prosecution and defense were striving to obtain a fair and impartial jury to try the icy-mannered Graham, a taciturn, former drive-in operator of his mother’s sandwich shop, and a fellow who previously had various odd jobs and who was on probation for a forgery rap. Many of the veniremen frankly state they have read about the case in the newspapers and are ex- < used when they admit they have formed a definite opinion.

Butler Terms GOP Group Os Fuddy-Duds Democrat Chairman Lashes Republicans RICHMOND. Ind. (INS) —Paul M. Butter, of South Bend, Demo- < ratlc national chairman, will speak at a tenth district Democratic rally in Richmond tonight after describing Republicans as 'Un uninspiring group of fuddyduds” in a speech before a mock Democratic convention at the University of Notre Dame Monday night. Butler said: "The disposition of the Democratic party to tolerate, indeed welcome, new ideas and to face un to the challenge of changing problems in different generations has made Its processes of judgment and selection vibrant and virile, not stagnant and sterile. Conversely, the Republican party, with the conspicuous exceptions of the glorious days of Abraham Lincoln and the unexplainable aberrations of Teddy Roosevelt, has been traditionally stamped with the mark of the mossback. "Thus, our Democratic party has managed to remain youthful in attitude and action white bur rivals, for the life of them, can’t ever seem to successfully refute the charge leveled against them that they are an uninspiring group of fuddy-duds. with little enthusiasm for progress and considerably less for people” Butter said that President Eisenhower has failed to manifest any significant examples of executive leadership, adding: “Inertia and mediocrity have replaced action and mastery in the White House. This may be in keeping with both the history and principles of the Republican parts. but it does not accord with ‘.hose of our country and of our own party." , Butler warned of the danger to the nation in the agricultural depression. saying: "It seems !td me to he an ironic and foreboding parallel of history to observe that in the midd'e of what our Republican opponents describe as a great prosperity, the American farmer once again languishes dangerously behind, as he did during the deceptive and carefully rational prosperity of the Twenties. "It is an uneasy warning of possible danger ahead. The pity ib that the same danger signals *ehe sounded in the Twenties and then, as now. a Republican’administration turned a deaf ear. They were, as they are now. too busy receiving she compliments of corporate friends and benefactors concerning the grand job they were allegedly doing, for whom, we well know.”
