Farewell To
Philippines

On Quemoy Feared
Manila-flJPU-President Eisen
hower, his trip to Japan can
celled, said an emotional fare
well to the Philippines tonight
and sailed for Formosa amid
cries of "Mabuhay" (long live)
and the strains of an Army
band's "Auld Lang Syne."
Before he left aboard the
U.S.S. St. Paul, flagship of
the U.S. Seventh Fleet, the
President accepted with re
gret the decision of the pro
Western Japanese government
to bow to Communist-led viol
ence and call off his visit to
Tokyo because it could not
guarantee his safety.
Bombardment Feared
As he departed, a grim new
note was injected with a re
port from Taipei that fears
were growing in Formosa that
Communist China might
launch a massive artillery
bombardmen against the off
shore Quemoy Islands to un
derscore the leftwing victory
in forcing him to bypass Ja
pan. To replace his planned trip
to Tokyo, the President will
advance the time of his ar
rival in South Korea from
June 22 to this Sunday June
19, the date on which he was
to have arrived in Japan.
Might Skip Okinawa
He was still scheduled to
stop at the U.S.-hcld island
of Okinawa after he leaves
Formosa, although U.S. env
bassy sources in Seoul said
he might skip it and fly di
rectly from Taipei to Korea
Eisenhower wound up his
last day in the Philippines
with a major speech before
an estimated 400.000 persons
in Manila s Luneta Park, and

In a communique Issued
jointly with Garcia, Eisen
hower agreed that American

U.S. Population
Said 179,500,000
Washington IUPD The U.S.
population totalled about
179,500,000 on April 1.
The Census Bureau, in re
porting the figure, said it may
be revised upward when the
1960 head count is completed.
The total was based on a
preliminary count in the 50
states and the District of Co
lumbia, which produced a
figure of 177,733,190.
But the Census Bureau esti
mated the higher figure on
the basis of the number of
persons in the armed forces
overseas, persons counted
away from home, those count
ed too late and members of
crews of U.S. military and
merchant ships.

Washington - (UPI) - Senate
leaders, acting on the State
Department's advice, decided
today to go ahead with action
on the U.S.-Japanese security
treaty despite cancellation of
President Eisenhower's visit.
Democratic leader Lyndon
B. Johnson announced that
the Senate would act on the
treaty "at an early date," con
ceivably tonight or Friday.
View Confirmed
Chairman J. William Ful

Foreign Relations committee
said he had consulted with
State Department officials, and
they advised that the Senate
proceed with action on the

Senate should hold up ratifica

PROTECTION
Tokyo (UPI) Prime Minister Nobusuke
Kishi't pro-Western government bowed to Communist-led
violence today and canceled Presi
dent Eisenhower's trip to Japan because it could
not guarantee his safety.
The President accepted the deciiion with regret in Manila,
where he wound up a three-day visit to the Philippines and
sailed for Formosa on the next leg of his Far East journey.
In Seoul, the South Korea government announced that
the date of Eisenhower's visit there has been advanced from
June a to June 19 in view
June 19 Sunday is the date
rived in lonyo.
Kishi announced his de
cision personally following an
emergency meeting of his
Cabinet, while an estimated
25,000 leftwingers milled out
side and screamed for his res-
nation.
The cancellation was hailed
as a great victory by interna
tional communism, Kishi's po
litical opposition, and by left
ist student and union groups
here which had staged a
month of violent demonstra
tions against the visit.
Kishi was crushed. It prob
ably meant his ultimate resig
nation. Eisenhower, receiving
word of the postponement re
quest in Manila, was deeply
disappointed.
The grim - faced Kishi an
nounced the news to reporters
himself at his official resi
dence after a cabinet session
at which the decision was
made.
He blamed the postpone
ment on what he called
Communist-inspired effort to
destroy democratic procedure
in Japan.
He made it clear- he was
acting because he believed
Eisenhower's life would be
endangered if he flew her
Sunday as planned.
Kishi sqld he himself would
not resign until the U.S.-Japa;
ireatv is ratified.
The whole future ot U.S.
Japanese relations now was
thrown wide open-a develop
ment certain to be welcomed
by international Communist
leaders who had egged on the
Japanese leftists through their
Pelping and Moscow propa
ganda organs. ,
