passing the
word that he'd
run again.
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

chance to read, and I am trying
to get through. I, as you know.

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."' February: "An affection
ate wife and loving mother
March: "A frivolous chattermag

"When I want any good head
work done I always choose a
man, if suitable otherwise, with
a large nose." That's' what Na
poleon Bonaparte said. 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."
