...despite such misgivings, most citizens agreed with Ike that it was worth a Sunday try. "I think it's damned healthy," said Minneapolis Contractor Don Knutson as he thought about the visit. "Whether it's Government or business, you've got to evaluate your competition." Added Mel Costa, a proprietor of a Detroit steakhouse: "If he means peace, I say O.K., let him come. If he doesn't mean peace, the hell with him. We got to show these people we mean business...
...Minnesota's Ninth District, where Odin Langen chalked up the nation's only G.O.P. conquest of a Democratic seat by defeating two-termer Coya Knutson. Her prestige damaged at campaign time by a "Coya Come Home" letter from innkeeping Husband Andy Knutson (TIME, May 19 et seq.), Coya last week got Andy to the Capitol to admit he had written the letter at the instigation of his wife's political opponents and to add that he would like to see Coya back in Congress. The House committee found that Republican Langen had taken no part...
...sooner had the victory vote been wrapped up than the D.F.L. started work for 1960-when Humphrey himself is up for re-election and is also an offbeat Democratic presidential possibility.

Her vacillating husband, who supported her opponent in September's primary but threw his weight behind Democrat Coya before her defeat in last week's election (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), was bringing a $200,000 alienation-of-affections and slander suit against Billy Kjeldahl, 30, the lady's administrative assistant. Billy had not only "interfered" with his marital rights, charged 50-year-old Innkeeper Andy; he had also called the plaintiff "an impotent...
While campaigning for re-election in Minnesota's Ninth District, U.S. Democrat-Farmer-Labor Congresswoman Coya Knutson, 45, got one voter's unexpected pledge. "I'll just have to vote for her," said husband Andy Knutson, innkeeper and part-time plow dealer, who supported his wife's rival in the primary, ineffectually pleaded with her last May to come down from Capitol Hill and home to Oklee, Minn...
