Eisenhower called Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California a courageous and brave man Tues day night and indicated strongly that he will keep him on the GOP ticket as bis running mate. Throwing away a prepared speech on inflation, the GOP pres idential candidate told an emotion filled public hall that he will an nounce his final decision after he has talked to Nixon face to face. But be left little doubt what that decision win be. Eisenhower gave these views to an audience of 16,000 people after they had listened to the dramatic radio-television defense by Nixon of his acceptance of an SI 8,000 private expense fund. In a message to Sen. Nixon, aft er the meeting, Eisenhower said: : "Your presentation was magnifi cent. While technically no deci sion rests with me, you and I know the realities of the stituation require a pronouncement which public considers decisive. "My personal decision is going to be based on personal conclu sions. I would most appreciate it if you can fly to see me at once. Wednesday I will be at Wheeling, W.Va." In Los Angeles, James Bassett, Nixon's press secretary, said, "we are eolne to Missoula" to resume Nixon's interrupted campaign tour. Bassett later announced that the two staffs were endeavoring to work out a mutually convenient place for the Eisenhower- Nixon meeting. continuous - Bod Abbott Lou Costello "Lost in Alaska" : Audie Murphy -In Technicolor "Duel at Silver Creek" Continuous David Wayne "Wait Tin Sun Shines Nellie" Technicolor Tvonne DeCarle "Scarlet AnaoT Technicolor Open 6:45 pjn.
