8B Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.Thurs., Oct. 21, 1954 Writer Feels Ike Won't Run By ED CREAGH Of The Associated Tress WASHINGTON" W One report-1 much the same thing. And I've r's opinion: President Eisen- been able to watch the President hower will not run for a second inspect the almost completed re term, modeling job on his Pennsylvania That is climbing out on a long farmhouse, limb. What ihe voters do Nov. 2 It was hard to avoid the im- whether thev eive the ReDubli-'nression that here was a man cans another two years in control lovingly planning a home his of Congress could have a lot to; first real home in many a year- do with making up the Prcsi dent s mind. Unless, that is, he already has made it up. This reporter's im pression is that he has. Mind you, this is only an im pression an educated hunch at besb The only man who can say with certainty what's in the Pres iden't mind is the President him self. And, following well-established practice, he's keeping his thoughts on (his question very much to himself. INFORMED SPECULATION So any forecast that is more than idle crystal gazing must be based on (1) what the President's altitude seems to be, as well as ' newsmen covering his activities can determine it, and (2) what the people around him think he will do. It is from these sources that this reporter, who sometimes covers the White House, has formed the impression Eisenhow er will not run again always barring some unforeseen factor. James B. Reston wrote in the New York Times recently that in his opinion it is doubtful the Pres ident will agree to run. Reston quoted an unnamed close asso ciate of the President's as telling him: "The one think that really makes his eyes light up is talk of Jus farm in Gettysburg.' Others have told this reporter Contest Entry Springfield is one of 5 Pacific Northwest cities entered in this year's All-America Cities, contest, the sponsors, the National Muni cipal League and Look Magazine, announced in New York Thurs day. Others from the Northwest in clude Wenatchee and Seattle, Wash.; Pendleton; and Moscow, Ida. A total of 110 cities are en tered throughout the country, As sociated Press reported. Entries will be narrowed down tn 22 finalists, whose representa tives will appear at the league's national conference, Nov. 7-10 in Kansas City, Mo. A panel of judges will pick the 11 over-all winners. The contest honors cities which have done an "outstanding" job of solving local problems through concerted citizen action. Springfield was entered in the contest by Oliver Larson, former manager of the Springfield Cham ber of Commerce, for the city's community-wide campaign which successfully raised funds for the new McKcnzie- Willamette Me morial Hospital, now under construction. that he meant to live in, and not just retire to on weekends. Another strong impression is that, while Eisenhower is deter mined to do a good job as Presi dent, he slill doesn't like the job and still less does he like the party politics and some of the politicians that go with it. There is fairly general agree ment among those in daily con tact with the President that, if his personal wishes were all that counted, he'd be delighted to say farewell to the Whita House in January 1957. UNDER PRESSURE But it's taken for granted there will be tremendous pressure from the Republicans to persuade Ei senhower, their first successful candidate since 1928, to run again. And there are many who feel this pressure, which would in clude appeals to patriotism and duty, would be too strong to re sist. The argument also is put for ward that if the Democrats win control of Congress next month Eisenhower might want to run again to seek "vindication." Maybe. But the President could argue that (1) he has done his duty by putting in four years as President on top of an unparal leled military career; (2) the bulk of his legislative program was enacted in his first two years; and (3) if the .people want Democrats in office .they can darned well have Democrats in office, and he'll go home to Gettysburg. NO FINAL WORD It may be recalled that Sher man Adams, the Presidents chief assistant, made a speech a while back saying Eisenhower might not run in '56 if the Demo crats won in '54. Eisenhower said at the time Adams was only speculating that he hadn't discussed his plans with anybody. But if he didn't say Adams was right, he didn't say Adams was wrong cither. It could well be that a Democratic victory would only strengthen a feeling on the part of the President that he's done his bit and should be al lowed to wash his hands of poli ticsand wash them in Pennsyl vania spring water.

"In addition, their warnings and ad vice to boat operators have surely prevented further incidents which probably would have resulted in great loss." Admiral Richmond responded to their request for additional crewmen and a larger boat by say ing that "it is felt that the per sonnel and equipment presently assigned to the Siuslaw River life boat station provide a reasonable amount of protection and are adequate to the existing needs of the Siuslaw area." keeping River lifeboat station a move urged by Mayor E. A. Davidson of Florence. Vice Adm. A. C. Richmond, commandant of the Coast Guard, informed Sen. Guy Cordon's office that a review would be made of information sent in by Mayor Davidson and the Florence cham ber of commerce pertaining to in creased activity on the river. The Coast Guard last February reported that after an exhaustive study of conditions along the Ore gon coast, increased activation of the Siuslaw station was not war ranted. Two crewmen are present ly stationed at the lifeboat station and Admiral Richmond indicated they would be retained there until another study is made of the needs of the area for protection. He said: THREE FACTORS Further action on the disestab lishment of the above station has been held in abeyance pending such time as the permanency of the reported activity increase at the port may be ascertained." J The Florence officials reported the restoration of commercial navigation, aside from deep sea fishing craft, offers prospects of lumber shipments being substan tially increased down the Siuslaw. Also, they argued that completion of Route F highway, a supplemen tary route to highway 36 from Eugene to Florence, would reduce the intervening distance and open the door to shipment of consumer goods for Lane County through the port. Increased recreational and fishing use of the river were also cited. CREWMEN PRAISED This increased activity was in part attributed to the dredging operation performed this summer by the Corps of Engineers suring a shallow but navigable channel The importance of the lifeboat station was registered by the ipii!
