Dwight D. Eisenhower announced Saturday he will wage an active campaign for the presidency only if he Is nominated by the Republican na tional convention. If nominated, he told corres pondent! at a press conference, he will resign his army commis sion and wage an all-out battle against the candidate of the Demo. cratic party. Until then he will not make an active campaign, he said. The five-star general laid he resigned as Supreme Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization to prevent the interfer ence of politics with the vital joo of building West Europe'! defen sive strength, i His resignation, he stressed In his 10-mlnute conference, was from that command and not from the U, S. Army. AS A SOLDIER, he said, there are restrlctioni on his activities which make an active campaign for the Republican presidential nomination impossible. But if the G.O.F. picks him as the Republican candidate, all would change. He would then drop the role of a soldier and Be "tree to speak and act as a private citizen," in the time between the Republican convention In July and the elections in November. The general did not put his po sition that bluntly. He still wears the uniform of the U. S. Army and he Is still active head of SHAPE, he noted. But he made his position clear. After stressing that his resignation from his NATO command did not mean he was finished with the U. S. Army, he added: "IF, HOWEVER, I should Sunday Opening Due for Capitol On Blossom Day SALEM U.R Your state capltol will be open again this summer on Sundays for the benefit of the thousands of tour ists who make their annual trek to Oregon's seat of government.

He said he has no plans what soever for the period immediately following his return to the United States, except that he hopes he will be permitted a brief vaca tion with his wife. IN HIS PRESS conference Elsenhower said politics and the demands upon him from the U. S. were the primary reasons for his resignation at this time from his NATO command, He waited only long enough for the "paper war" defense exercises on his command to end before making public a decision already taken privately 10 days ago. Eisenhower told reporters who crowded into his conference room that he will permit no discussion of political questions at his head quarters or with him In the period before he leaves for the United States.

THIS WEEK ONLY Beauty Consultant Direct from th Veto York Salon of First Charted Map of Radioactive Air omic Commission by At ! By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEK Afi.dated Fret. Sel.n. R.Bort.r I NEW YORK (IP) ,-The first complete daily radioactivity map of the United States Is being charted here by the U. S. Atomic .Energy Commission. The map shows the radioactive dust falling to the ground, and 'also radioactivity in the air, as both float across the United States from our A-bmobs in Ne vada or at Eniwetok. It could, in emergency, also ihow Russian A-bomb radioacti vity as that floats around the world to us. THE MAPPING was described Wednesday by Merril Eisenbud of the commission s New York office. where he heads the monitoring system. There are radioactivity de tectors in 120 weather stations and one station not a weather bureau, here in the commission's office. Pressmen Strike lacoma Paper ' TACOMA (IP) Pressmen went on strike Saturday in a wage dispute at The News Tri- jbune, Tacoma's only daily news- i paper. The management said pressmen asked $3.10 an hour for day work land rejected an offer of $2.95. I Officials of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union AFL were not immediately available for comment. News Tribune executives said pickets appeared without notice after employes had reported for work. They said other unions were not asked to pass the picket lines and that efforts would not be made "under present condi tions to maintain continuous pub lication." The paper publishes several i afternoon editions. There is a Sunday paper, the Tacoma Sunday i Ledger, under the same manage ment. Publisher Frank S. Baker of the News Tribune said the scale sought by the pressmen would ex- inari tha hiffhaat nratrnflnaH .- R'tnan.' (train In th TTnlta1 fitalae by nearly 15 cents an hour. The management said the 26 regular Journeymen pressmen who worked five days or more during the week ended April 10 were paid an average ot $111.48 each. This more than doubles anv nr.. vious monitoring. The stations are set in a naif am of concentric cirlces from the Nevada bomb site, ranging be tween 250 and 500 miles apart. They are closer together over ha heavily populated east. By coincidence the matham.tl. cal grid misses Oklahoma, North Carolina and Vermont, but fully protects them with stations .inn. their borders. In Nevada there is extra monitoring. FOR CATCmwi r.rfln.aHuU., from A-bombs, vacuum cleaners are stripped down to draw air through a filter pad about as big as the palm of your hand. Trays catch dust, on fly paper. The papers are folded for shipment and both papers and pads sent to New York. They are coming now at the rate of 400 a day. Each paper or pad is placed in a metal cup the size of a cup cake. Each cup goes Into an individual little electric furnace about as big as a small radio set. There the contents burn to white ashes, each cup producing an ash pad the size of a half dollar. These white discs are sealed bv machine inside a plastic tape, eight inches between each, with each tape about 75 feet lone. There Is an identifying label on each "half dollar." I THE TAPES are run throuirh radioactivity counting machines which measure and write the extra radioactivity from bombs. If our bombs should ever spew excess radioactivity the map is designed to detect It before harm can be done.
