Observers Think Ike Means Business About Seeking Second Term By LYLE C. WILSOH United Press Correspondent Washington (U.P.) The re turns are in on President Eisen hower's non-political swing through New England along with his news conference explanation that his coy references to a sec ond term were just funning. Practical politicians around town are not buying any of that. In something more than two White House years, Mr. Eis enhower has shown himself to be a natural-born baby kisser. A congenital politician, despite an Army background. Moreover, the President shows much evidence of liking his job. The frustrations of office which raised his blood pressure during the first 12 months no longer seem to do so. The President and his charm ing Mamie have worked out a routine of living which gives due consideration to the fact that Mrs. Eisenhower or most women is not up to the daily grind of politics. Mamie About Average Of recent first ladies, Mrs. Eisenhower is about average on trie score of political activity and hostessing at 1600 Pennsyl vania avenue. If pretty Grace Coolidge ever performed a pol itical deed during the late Cal vin's term of office, none about recalls it, other than she was just her gracious self around the house. And the Coolidges were great ones to travel for long week ends and long sum mers away from Washington. Mrs. Hoover was active in the affairs of her husband's Quak er church and in the Girl Scouts. She was a woman of rare intel ligence and wide reading, and shared with President Hoover the problems of power and of fice, but never in public. There was Mrs. Roosevelt, of course, but her like had not been seen before, nor likely again I soon. Homey Bess Truman spent about as much time back there in Independence as Mrs. Eisen hower spends on the family's Gettysburg farm. She had no taste for Washington society, but clung closely to her pre-White House friends, a trait which is strong with Mrs. Eisenhower as well. Mrs. Eisenhower's health sure ly would be a factor in any de cision the President might make about a second term. But there is no showing that she is other than in good physical condition, if something less than a robust lady wrestler. Handy Gettysburg Farm Much of her time now is spent on the Gettysburg farm which is as handy to Washington for herself and her husband as Greenwich, Conn., could be to a commuting New York tycoon or Twin Peaks to a San Fran ciscan. Someone said recently that when an adequate small airplane turned up to flit the Eisenhowers to and from Gettys burg in a matter of minutes, the biggest obstacle to another nom ination for President was re moved. All . of this adds up. If the President really were sour on his job and wanted out, he would not be funning in New England about the possibility of another term. It is a fact that he becomes annoyed from time to time and snaps at intimates that it's a tough job from which he'd like to retire. But so do most men and women get fed up, occas ionally, with the work they do and often love. The old timers will remember the constant sighs and- laments uttered by FDR at the fate which kept him in, and away from Hyde Park. On the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt devoted one of the keenest political minds of our times to maintaining his lease hold on the White House.

(International) Douglas Explains Red China Theory Manila, P. I. (U.R) U. S. Su preme Court Justive William O. Douglas explained his position on recognizing Red China today by stating "We recognize all sorts of nations, some of which we don't agree with." Douglas, who came out with a statement earlier this week that he advocates formal recog nition of Communist China, re iterated his stand at a press con ference. ' He said recognition should be given providing cer tain . conditions could be met. The conditions boiled down to a sincere display on the part of Red China that it would get along with other nations. The justice said he felt Britain was hasty in recognizing Red China immediately, but he added the present government in Pei ping seemed to have an air of permanence about it. there are in town those who say, if he could get a fourth term, why not a fifth? Had he not died it would have been a fair and interesting question. Las Vegas Hotels Start Cover Charge Las Vegas, Nev. (U.R) The biggest entertainment bargain in decades has come to an end. Six of Las Vegas' luxurious gambling hotels will put a $2 minimum into effect this Satur day in their nightclubs where the top names in show business do their stuff for salaries as high as $50,000 a week. For years, patrons have been able to watch the lavish shows for the price of a bottle of pop. ' The hotels operated on the as sumption that patrons lured by the big names would also visit the casinos, which footed the losses of the costly entertain ment. In announcing the new mini mums, a spokesman said the hotels wanted to limit patronage "to those who can afford to spend a little money." He denied that any of the hostelries were in fi nancial difficulties. The six hotels were the Fla mingo, Royal Nevada, New Fron tier, Sahara, Dunes, Desert Inn and Riviera. Others along the famed Las Vegas Strip were ex pected to follow suit. i new Ah " Vfr ' ? fcv vj$2f -gut - ' 5 Stock, up with plenty of RC for the holiday wcsksnd WO OTHER COLA IS so low in calories. . . 1 rKXKZ!&t&P 1 Ltf w J 'Vr T&tf -smack- Have a sparkling Fourth.

U.R) Civil defense officials agreed to day that more than 35,000 South Bend residents have proved that mass evacuation of large cities is possible. A 400-block area in the heart of South Bend was emptied in an hour Wednesday in the big gest civil defense test of a city evacuation yet attempted. Just before 4 p.m. EDT, cars were cruising the streets and pedestrians clustered on the street corners. Then came the wail of air raid sirens. In five minutes, South Bend's busiest district looked like a ghost town. The Indianans move out of town quietly and quickly. Most of them went in cars along pre designated routes. Others were picked up by cruising city buses or motorists. In all, 8,000 ve hicles took part. Federal and state civil de fense officials, here to watch "Operation Exit," were frankly impressed. W. B. Pettigrew, federal civil defense administrator for an eight-state area, commented "People had said 'you can't get them out.' That was disproved at South Bend." J. Russell Pryor, federal traf fic and safety director for civil defense, agreed that the South Thursday, Juno SO, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN . New York Blind Man Robbed, Knocked Down . New York (U.R) A 72-year-old blind man was mugged here yesterday. Two men helped Harry Ros sel to his Bronx apartment. Then one of them held him in a head lock while the other took his wallet, containing $15. Then they threw Rossel down the stairs and fled. Alfred Sulmonelli Succeeds Mundorff Portland (U.R) Alfred T. Sul monetti has been named Mult nomah County Circuit Judge suc ceeding the late Judge Lowell Mundorff. Governor Paul Patterson made the appointment late yesterday afternoon, filling a vacancy left by Judge Mundorff's death last Friday. Sulmonetti, a graduate of Drake University, is judge advo cate of the Oregon Department of the American Legion and has been active in YMCA affairs. Bend test "shows without a doubt that evacuation can be done if you have the proper or ganization and planning before hand." ' South Bend residents also felt the test had been worthwhile. One of them, Jay Mobney, said "a lot of people thought it was silly. But it might save -some lives." - Japanese Said Flying First-Line MIG Jets Tokyo (U.R) A Japanese who claimed to have deserted from the Communist Chinese Air Force said today that Japan ese fliers flew "first-line MIG jets" against' UN planes in the Korean War. "Hachiro Niiyama," listed as dead by the Japanese army in Manchuria in 1944, claimed that Japanese pilots raided the Fop mosa area twice that he knew of, according to a Kyodo news agency report from Hiroshima. He estimated there were 3000 Japanese in the Red Armed forc es, r .
