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. And

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.

Mass Evacuation
Proved Possible
In South Bend Test
South Bend, Ind. 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

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." -
