Leonard W. Hall, GOP na tional chairman: The President's decision "is the best possible news for ill Americans . . . It means a continuation - of .the peace, prosperity,, and progress of the Eisenhower Republican administration. For the Repub lican party this is . the ringing call for an all-out campaign. We are going to work for a Republican victory all down the line from the White House to the county courthouse." I Butler Not So Sure Paul M. Butler, Democratic national chairman: "The Ameri can neoDle will never elect a President who, at 65, has had a serious heart attack and who is unable to be a full time chief . executive . . . Republican lead ers have high pressured Mr; Ei senhower into this decision with out regard to the possible con sequences to him, his family 'or the public . . . The uncertainties of his future health, are bound to . . . dominate the campaign and tend to obliterate discussion and consideration of .the great issues . . . Our country heeds a full time President . . . Former President Truman was not available for comment to day in his downtown offices. He indicated yesterday, how ever, that he would have noth ing to say, regardless of Mr; Ei senhower's decision. Alf M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee of 1936: "It is evident that the President reached his decision after long and conscientious soul searching as to his ability to finish his job.

Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.), speaker of the House of Repre sentatives: "I thought all the time .he was a candidate be cause in my opinion he has been acting and talking like one." Sen. Estes Kefauver (D Tenn.): "I am glad President Eisenhower feels that his health will permit him to make a.cam paign seeking another four years in the presidency. Having been responsible for the record of the past four years, the Pres ident is the best qualified man to defend that record . . .'De spite Mr, Eisenhower's personal popularity, I am confident we Democrats will win the presi dency because our record and program are most appealing to the greater mass of voters." Sees Vigorous Campaign Adlai Stevenson, former pres idential nominee said: "As the main , issue will he the - policies and record of the Eisenhower administration, it is fitting that President Eisenhower be. .the candidate. "As the administration's chief architect and spokesman, he will have to carry the burden of what will be a very vigor ous campaign," Stevenson said. "Mr. Eisenhower has drawn the distinction between the private matter of his personal health and the public question of how the office of the Presi dent shall be conducted. I as sume he will deal with the as pect of his decision in his re port to the people, and set the terms of the 'debate on this, is sue." ..' Sen. Johnson Happy Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, Senate Democratic lead er: "I -am happy that the Presi dent feels his health has recov ered to a point ? where he - is ready for the rigors of an ardu ous campaign.". But he warned "the campaign will be arduous, The American people will want a full discussion of the vital issues of war and peace before they decide who will be the trustee for their destinies for the next four years." Douglas McKay, interior sec retary: The announcement " "as sures that in the crucial period of world history which lies ahead our destiny will continue to be guided by the outstanding leader who has demonstrated re peatedly his unique abilities to preserve the peace and advance the welfare of all the people . No Prepared Statement Issued On Ike's Second Term Decision Eugene, Salem Face Transit Curb By UNITED PRESS : Citizens of two Oregon cities have taken steps to sustain night transit service in their cities as companies announced plans to curtail the service due to lack of patronage. In Eugene, the city council has adopted a plan which urges businessmen ' to help boost . the daytime transit use of its cus tomers while ' in Salem a 23 member citizens committee ap peared before the -city council asking that service not be dis continued there. . . The Eugene plan would ask businessmen to redeem bus fares of its customers when purchases are made in. their stores. The system would be set up with a ticket -validation plan. ' . The City Transit Company of Eugene has agreed to a trial period for the new proposal in the hope that a greater daytime patronage will compensate for loss the company incurs at night. r In both cases the transit com pany proposed the curtailment of night service due to lack of patronage and a growing loss on the lines. 1 .

The following accurately reflects what he said . but is carried in the third person , because of White House rules prohibiting direct quotation without special permission. He has reached a decision. But he found so many factors involved that he saw his answer could not be expressed in simple terms of yes or no. He felt that a full explanation to the American people was nec essary. He would never ; consent to go before the . people unless he was sure- they understood all the factors and possibilities. He would not allow his name to go before' the Republican conven tion - unless they knew all the facts so they could be sure they were not nominating someone other than they thought. He could not say flatly that he would run because he does not know for certain that the Republican convention would want him. He is asking for time on ra dio and television networks to night to go directly to the Am erican people with the facts. His answer within these -lim its which he will explain to night, will be positive, that , is, affirmative. Because he will give full de tails of his decision tonight he did not intend to have it as a subject for further discussion at this morning's news conference Foreign Sec reta ry Of Britain Starts On Junket To Asia London (U.R) Foreign Sec retary Selwyn Lloyd took off today on a two-week peacemak ing tour of Asia and the Middle East, recently blanketed 'by the Russians with offerings of guns7 butter and propaganda. Lloyd's specific goal is Kara chi, where a meeting of the "Asi atic Pact" council opens Tues day, but he plans to make half a dozen stops on the way there and back to confer with local leaders. ' : ' India Relations Target He hopes especially to smooth over relations between Britain and India, " embittered by Rus sia's persistent wooing of neu tralist Premier Jawaharlal Neh ru. An interview with the Indian premier .printed today by the Manchester Guardian empha sized Nehru's opposition to the Southeast .Asiatic Alliance and the Baghdad Pact the West's principal arrangements for the defense of Asia and the Middle East. Lloyd said just before he boarded a special plane here that his only purpose Is to try to pre serve and extend peace. He said he has no intention of trying, to match the Russians' offers of aid or their propaganda insults. " No Unpleasant Statements "I am not going to try to com pete with the Russian leaders," the foreign secretary said. "I am not going to say anytfting un pleasant about Russia ... "The whole purpose of British foreign policy. is peace .... . no other country has anything ; to fear from a British foreign sec retary going abroad." One major objective of Lloyd's trip will be a new effort to settle the 'eight-year-old feud between Israel and the Arab states. He has a compromise plan to offer, but it does not include any prom ise of increased arms for Israel. La ug h s of the Day . . .
