After Big

i
Interest Builds
Up To Question
Of Second Term
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) For what
it may be worth, some of the
chance and unofficial lookers-on
at Gettysburg think President
Eisenhower appeared a bit peak
ed or bushed,
after his big
mid - week
work day.
The medical
bulletins
report the
President to be
picking up the
burdens of of
fice without
evidence of fa
Lyle C. Wilson tigue. There is
no intent to challenge the integ
rity of those bulletins. Never was
the illness of a top level U.S. of
ficial more faithfully reported in
its gains and reverses than Mr.
Eisenhower's.
But the fact remains that some
individuals who would have no
interest in it. either way believe
they can detect an outward ap
pearance of slow down in Mr. Ei
senhower's vigorous recovery.
So, it is reasonable to report
these lay observations because
the people at home and abroad
have shown a hungry personal
and political interest in Mr. Ei
sonhower's well being. The politi
cal interest builds up to a ques
tion which will be asked with in
creasing frequency throughout
the world until the President
gives the answer to it.
Will he run again?
Decision Affects Policies
The political fortunes of both
major parties are tied to the an
swer. The political fortunes of
numerous office seekers in both
parties are tied to it. U. S. for
eign and domestic policies de
pend in large degree on the an
swer as do the policies of foreign
allies and cold war enemies.
It Is a large question which
Mr. Eisenhower's physicians
have given him-an opportunity
to ignore until February, if he
so desires. The implication of
their judgments of the Presi
dent's recovery has been -that it
will not be until late winter
that they will know whether
his heart could take a second
term.
The physicians with their ma
chines and knowledge can de
termine with much accuracy
whether Mr. Eisenhower will be
fit to go again. But only he can
determine whether he would be
willing.
If his heart were able, but his
mind were not quite made up, it
is likely that the recent Demo
cratic attacks on administration
foreign policy might persuade
Mr. Eisenhower to take the
chance on his health and run.
There is no doubt that Demo
crats would prefer some other
almost any other Republican
as a presidential opponent in
1956.
Democrats Blast Policy
But last week-end's Demo
cratic doings in Chicago and
some of the follow-up thereof
could get under Mr. Eisen
hower's skin. Adlai E. Steven
son and others gathered for the
Democratic meeting fired a
broadside at Eisenhower admin
istration foreign policy.
Gov. Averell Harriman of
in his non-active pursuit of the
New York moved on to Seattle
Democratic presidential nomina
tion. He told his audience that
Mr. Eisenhower's foreign policy
was "a classic in the history of
bungling." Hard words from an
old friend.
Organized labor is beginning
to join an attack on the way Mr.
Eisenhower has conducted for
eign affairs. The CIO News, for
example, says administration
Mid-Eastern policy is bankrupt.
And there is complaint from
Stevenson that Mr. Eisenhower
has permitted national secur
ity to lag in the midst of for
eign peril.
Only Time Can Determine
These charges and those to
come as the campaign winds
rise, may or may not be justified.
Only time can determine that.
But, for sure, Mr. Eisenhower
will not agree. The fields of for
eign policy and national secur
ity were the only ones in which
he felt self-confident when he
took office. Criticism of those
policies is. peculiarly a personal
criticism of the President's own
judgment.
Could be that enough of it
would entice him into another
campaign.

New York i'J.PJ The Nation

Beaver Marsh Permit
Said 'Tragic Mistake'
Portland (U.R) Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) today call
ed the Federal Power Commis
sion licensing of the Beaver
Marsh project a "tragic mistake"
and said he was asking about
possible ways for the decision
to be set aside.
Neuberger said he had asked
the legislative counsel of the
U. S. Senate to study possible
legislative methods by which
"this unwise decision can be set
aside."
"It is unbelievable to me that
the Eugene Water Board would
imperil the magnificient McKen-
zie river wilderness to secure
only 30,000 kilowatts of peaking
power, when the same board has
opposed a high Hells Canvon
federal dam with its 914,000
firm kilowatts of power," he
said.
Truman To Speak at
Fund Raising Dinners
Las Angeles (U.R) Former
President Harry S. Truman was
scheduled to leave here by air
liner for Seattle today to speak
at a fund raising dinner tonight
for the Truman Memorial Li
brary at Independence, Mo.
The former President, who ar
rived here last night, will return
here from Seattle Sunday for a
$100 a plate fund raising dinner
to be held Monday for the same
purpose.
Upon his arrival here, Tru
man spoke of how active he in
tends to be in next year's presi
dential campaign.
"I will get out and do my
level best for the Democratic
candidate, whoever he may be,
if the National Committee asks
me to."
Income Tax Forms
Will Be Mailed Soon
Federal income tax forms for
filing in 1956 will be mailed
from the Kansas City office to
reach taxpayers between Dec. 27
and Jan. 10, Internal Revenue
service officials have announced.
Each taxpayer who filed in
1955 will receive forms. Other
forms will be available at the lo
cal office here by Dec. 1, offi
cials said.
Farmers who file and pay es
timated taxes before the Jan. 15,
1956, deadline may obtain forms
at district and local offices by

Slight revisions have been

ICC Head Resigns
Following Probe
By Senate Group
Gettysburg, Pa., (U.R)
President Eisenhower today ac
cepted the resignation of chair
man Hugh W. Cross of the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
who was questioned recently by
the Senate Investigating Sub
committee. Cross told the President he
was quitting for reasons of health
and also out of "regard and re
spect" for the commission and
for the administration.
Would Defend Charge
"But for these considerations
I would remain and defend to
the end against the baseless
charges which have been made
against me before a congression
al committee," Cross told the
President in a letter dated Nov.
23 and received here today.
Cross' resignation had been
rumored since he was questioned
in a closed session earlier this
month by the Senate Investiga
ting Subcommittee about his
connections with the award of a
contract to transport passengers
and baggage between Chicago
railroad stations.
Cross told newsmen after tes
tifying that he had discussed a
job earlier with the group which
got the contract, headed by John
L. Keeshin, but he denied that
the talk was connected with this
contract. He refused to say
whether he had discussed the
contract with railroad officials.
The President accepted Cross'
resignation effective at the close
of business today.
The president made no direct
reference to the charges against
Cross. He said, however, "I fully
appreciate the reasons you have
indicated and accordingly accept
your resignation."
Cross, a Republican and for
mer Illinois lieutenant governor,
was appointed by former Presi
dent Truman to fill an ICC va
cancy in 1949.
this evening. The Willamette was
well below flood stage.
The five-day outlook called for
recurring rain with more than
normal precipitation.

American Dollar Sale Increased in Chile
Santiago, Chile (U.R) American-owned
copper companies
were enabled today to sell dol
lars at the rate of 300 instead
of 200 Chilean pesos to one.
President Carlos Ibanez signed
a decree permitting the change
yesterday.
The change came after the
companies asked to be permitted
to sell dollars at the more favor
able rate in order to meet their
payments in Chilean currency
caused by recent pay increases
to employees.
The official Copper Depart
ment meanwhile was studying a
proposal from the Anaconda Co.
to invest an additional 338,000,
000 in equipment and other im
provements in their Ghuquica
mata and Poterillos mines.
Harvard has the largest li
braries of any of the universities
in the U. S. The various Har
vard units contain more than six
million volumes.
Illusion of Fence
Moves Memphis Hippos
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Adonis
and Juno are in their new home
today but the big hippos were
willing to move only because
they thought their old quarters
were closing in on them.
Zoo keepers said they used a
large piece of plywood to inch
the animals along. The hippos
thought a solid wall was behind
them.
