The Presi dent has dis cussed his health and plans on three occasions i n Iyle C. Wilson the past 10 days publicly, that is. He has - not said yes or no. But it does "seem easier to read a bit of no into his recent remarks than to find any yes. Judge for yourself: News conference Jan. 19 "It would be idle to pretend that my health can be wholly restor ed to the excellent shape in which the doctors believed it to be in early September. At the a same time, my doctors report to me that the progress I am mak ing toward a reasonable level of strength is normal and satisfac5 tory. My future'iife must be reg ulated to avoid exessive fatigue. The personal decision (whether to run again) will be rendered as soon as it is firmly fixed in my mind. I shall strive to see that it is based as to my best judgment on the good of the country." o Chill in the Air An agitated wet-finger-in-the-wind brigade sensed in those words a hint against renomina tion.Qtfot all agreed, of course, e on that. But there was, indeed, a chill in the air. Salute to Eisenhower Dinner, Jan. 20 "It appears that this is a question that first I alone must answer. That answer will be forthcoming as soon as it is firmly fixed in my mind. I trust that it will not unduly reflect concern for self. On the capital's delicate po litical mechanism, the reference to concern for self was recorded as a hint that Mr. Eisenhower might retire. News conference, Jan. 25 "Now, I have to guess as to the j next five years, and the prob-' lem is what will be the effect on the presidency, not on me, and that is the problem; and you can yourself, without any long dis sertation here, just lay out all , the factors of the energy, the intensity with which you can at tack your problems, the zip and zest that you can take into con ferences when you have to get something done for the good of the U.S. Now, that is my prob lem, and I hope I am not going to dilly dally too long about it-" Good Omen To Some Mr. Eisenhower's prose style in conferences usually is as cloudy as the foregoing. On the whole, however, the quoted paragraph was accepted by some of his associates as a good omen for another term. There were others; however, who called it the beginning of the end. On the same day in response to a ques tion whether his family objected to another term, Mr. Eisenhower punched outQ a snappy: No! Sounded like he meant it, too, but there are those who believe 0 he might be mistaken. In contrast to the foregoing nigh level talk and sentiments, there is th earthly comment of close political associate: "Sure, Ike will run again. He won't want to sit up there in Gettysburg loo' ing at those cows while Stevenson is president of the United States." Mr. Eisenhower at his Jan. 25 news conference "There are so many things -that I have to do I have piled up stacks oi boons I never have had a chance to read, and I am trying to get through. I, as you know. daub with paints; I like the act ual roaming around of a farm. I love animals. I like to go out ana see tnem. 1 have got a thou. sand things to do in this world, so i aon t think I would be bored at Gettysburg, no matter wnat it was. On . The Side By E V. DURLING (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) The inadvertent omission of the characterization of May brides from a recent quoting here of the bride's calendar in spired great indignation from feminine subscribers married in that month. The calendar says: "The May bride is fair of face, sweet tempered and contented." Some young fellows who plan to enter a state of matrimony with in the next three months may have missed our bride's calen dar report. For their benefit tfr Calendar's characterizations for the first quarter of the year are repeated. January: "A prudent housewife and sweet of tem per."'

It is. therefore very interesting to note that Wellington who over came Bonaparte at Waterloo had a very large nose. As for the headwork of other men with large noses, consider "Heady Eddie" Arcaro, America's great est jockey, who is also referred to as "Banana Nose."
