however, is much slower. It takes
four-tenths of a second before the
pilot, having decided to turn his
aircraft, can put his decision into
action, in which time the plane
moves forward 352 feet. These fig

Court Order"
Halts Removal
Of Road Signs
The state's effort to have some
150 "loological" advertising signs
removed along a l'i-mile, section
of Highway 20 near Blalock was
temporarily halted Thursday by an
injunction order issued out of
Marion County Circuit Court.
. Circuit Judge Val D. Sloper is
sued the injunction pending the
outcome of a suit brought by H. D.
Webb, operator of a zoo along
Highway 30 near Blalock in Gil
liam County. Webb is suing the
state through State Labor Com
missioner Norman O. Nilsen. who
has refused Webb's request for a!
renewed permit to continue dis
playing some 150 advertising signs
along the approaches to the xoo.
The commissioner's refusal is
based on a state law that requires
there be at least i-mile between
signs along one side of a highway.
According to the stale, Webb has
about 150 signs clustered within a
l'i mile stretch. In reply to
Webb's request the state ordered
all but seven of the signs removed,
Webb, who places a value of
f2,50A on the signs, contends that
the law does not apply in his case
because the signs were installed
and application was made before
the new statute became eneciive.

The term "commercisl" Is used

Hope was expressed by the re
port that the 1956 polio toD can be
reduced by about SO per cent below
the average of recent years, if the
vaccine continues to be used as
rapidly as supply permits. The
polio season reaches its peak in

Ike, Aides
Confer on
Politics
Hagerly Grins
After Discussion
Of Candidacy
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
GETTYSBURG. Pa. I - Presi
dent Eisenhower discussed his
political future with trusted con
fidants Friday and the predon
inant impression around the tem
porary White House was that he
still is running for a second term.
Almost four weeks to the day
since a major intestinal operation
cast new shadows on his inten
tions, Eisenhower talked politics
Friday morning with Presidential
assistant Sherman Adams and
press secretary James C. Hager-
ty.
Secret Lacked I'p
Any definite decision, if there
was one, was a secret locked up
tightly among this trio.
- But Hagerty came away from
his talk with the President in bub
bling good humor, wearing a
Cheshire cat grin, and eager to
volunteer to newsmen that he had
been chatting with the boss about
"both personal politics and gen
eral politics."
Naaeammittal
"You weren't disappointed in
the nature of your discussion?" a
reporter inquired.
"No, Hagerty said, "we talked
politics."
Did the President say whether
be would run again?
"I am not going to say," Hag
erty replied.
If Eisenhower had said he
wouldn't keep his hat in the ring
would Hagerty be grinning the
way he was?
I might have been grinning
one way or-the other, he an
sweredstill grinning.
Republican- politicians, from na
tional chairman Leonard W. Hall
down, have steadfastly insisted
Eisenhower's illness wilLnot take
him out of the race.
"Rarla' la Ran"
Even before Hagerty told of
talking politics with the boss. Sen.
Ives (R NY) said he is convinced
Eisehower is "rarin' to run" for
a second term.
And Sen. Carlson (R Kan), an
Eisenhower friend, said he was
"certain' the President's deci
slon to run again, made prior to
nis operation, will stand.

Still Hopes for
School Aid
WASHINGTON ll - President
Eisenhower hasn't given up hope
for school aid legislation at this
session of Congress.
This was made known to re
porters Friday by White House
press secretary James C. Hagerty
as post mortem recriminations
continued over defeat of such a
measure in the House Thursday
by a 224-194 vote.
Hagerty said in Gettysburg
there will be continued expres
sions of the President's hope that
Congress will act on the school
bill, through conversations with
leaders, or word relayed to our
legislative representatives."
In response to a question, Hag
erty said he knows of no plan for
Eisenhower to make a television
appeal for school aid legislation.
As to whether Elsenhower would
want the bill in the taut in which
the House rejected it, Hagerty
said: "We're interested in school
rooms."

Ransom Demand
Raised to $5,000
Father Agrees to Pay Extra Amount; Voice
On Telephone Contends Infant Alive, Well
WESTBURY. N. Y. (AP)-The kidnaper of month-old Peter W'cinWer tele
phoned the child's father Friday and upped his ransom' demand from $2,000 to
$3,000.
A man's voice on the phone assured the father, Morris Weinherger, that the
child was alive and well.

caller as the) kklhaprr and
prod to Hie increased de
mand. .
He nltHlertl that the money
would Iw turned over to the
kidnaper on his terms.
The father reported that the
man on the phone said he was
calling from a Manhattan pay
booth.
"Am ready to meet your de
mand, awaiting your call,'" Wein
berger assured the caller.
T VYalrh Papers
The caller said he would watch
the afternoon newspapers for con
firmation of the phone remarks
and for Weinberger's attitude to
ward the ransom. He also said he
would listen to an 11 p. m.. net
work television news broadcast.
The broadcast was named as
John K. M. McCaffery's "11th
hour news," which is carried only
on the New York outlet of NBC-
TV.
In response to what he said was
Mrs. Weinberger's request, Mc-
Calfery Friday night repeated the
"am ready message
Initials Glvea
He said. too. that Just before
going on the air he received an
anonymous telephone call in
which a man said only: "say
M-W-P-F, OK,'" before hanging
up.
McCaffery said he did not know
if the phone message was genuine
or the work of a crank.
There was speculation that the
letters could mean "Morris Wein
berg. Peter Fine. 0. K.'1
McCaffery then offered himself
to the kidnaper as an Intermedi
ary. He said he would wait in a pub
lic pay telephone booth for half
an hour should the kidnaper want
to contact him. He gave the tele
phone number as Trafalgar 44XK1
and asked "others please don t
call."
Weinberger was understandably
close-mouthed about the call.
There are reports he wants police
to withdraw and give him a
chance to deal with the kidnaper
in an effort to spare the life of
his youngest son, who was 14 days
old Friday.
No laterfereaee
Nassau County police have In
dicated they will not interfere with
any private attempt to retrieve
the baby. The child has been
missing since the kidnaper
snatched him from his carriage on
the patie of the Weinberger home
in midafternoon of July 4.
Weinberger said he received the
telephone call at (:40 a. m.
If it was the kidnaper, it was
his first contact with the family
since he left behind in the baby s
carriage a ransom note demand
ing the $2,000. The note read in
part:
"I am not asking a lot of mon
ey, only what I need, and I am
very serious about this."
The call eased a mounting sus
picion that little Peter was al
ready dead.
Both Weinberger and his dis
traught wife, Beatrice, 32, have
announced their willingness to
meet the kidnaper's ransom de
mand. The father is a well-to-do
wholesale drug executive.
Thursday, police baited a trap
for the kidnaper with two dummy
packages of blank paper sand
wiched between real bills. But the
kidnaper did not come near them.
Later, Mrs. Weinberger tried to
broadcast a radio appeal to the
kidnaper,
"I am willing to cooperate in
any way," she managed to sob
before she broke down in hyster
