Just the same, he did look re lieved that the big decision was behind him a he waited there in his White House office last night. He was about to go on television and radio to tell the American peo ple why he decided as he did. Grouped off to his right were members of his family his wife, their son and daughter-in-law, the First Lady's mother and the Pres ident's youngest brother Dr. Mil ton S. Eisenhower. The President had a cheery greeting for all of them as they arrived from the White House living quarters. Eisenhower himself showed up 20 minutes before time to go on the air, and he was in a jaunty mood. He sized up the bie battery of television, newsreel and stil! cameras lined up in front of his big desk, then remarked with a grin: "I'm ready. Let's get started." The newspaper photographers crowded around for pictures of him going over the pencil-edited text of his talk. Meanwhile, his coach, TV producer Robert Mont gomery asked the President to put on his glasses so the other cameramen could make sure there was a minimum of glare reflected from the big lights.
