IKE EXPECTED TO RUN AGAIN
President Eisenhower is now set to run in 1956,
according to high Republicans. Recent announcements
about the President not wanting to run unless it is his
duty, etc., sound curiously like the statements of 1952,
about the same sense of duty.
They also remind one of the famous Roosevelt re
luctance and even of the “make-me” campaign of Adlai
Stevenson in 1952. At least some top Republicans figure
that the President has already made up his mind that
he will have to run again if he is to do much to build
a stronger and more progressive Republican party.
The Dewey elements in the GOP has been telling
the President he will need all of eight years to mold
a new face for the Republican party, which is — in
this opinion — too conservative in many sections to
win without a nationally-popular leader, like Ike.
The President generally follows the advice of this
elemert in his party and is not expected to turn, his
back on the job of developing a party platform and a
party membership that reflects a progressive r nroach.
Special Bidding Edge
Proposed for Firms Hurt
By Trade Agreements
WASHINGTON, WV-S e n a t o r
Humphrey <D - Minn) proposed
Tuesday that firms harmed by
foreign imports under reciprocal
trade agreements be given special
advantages in bidding on govern
ment contracts.
. The Minnesotan said a new bill
should bolster Senate support for
.extension of the reciprocal trade
'program, as recommended by
President Eisenhower.
“The bill would take the costs
of a liberalized trade policy off
the shoulders of a few isolated
industries and spread that cost
over the entire nation as it should
be,” Humphrey declared.
He said his bill would provide
“any domestic producer found by
the Tariff Commission to be in ]
danger by foreign imports may
receive a certificate entitling to
to a percentage advantage—up to
25 percent—in its bid for govern
ment contracts.”
“The certificate would be good
only for a limited period, while
the company energetically sought
to develop new products which
could withstand competition.”

Strong Fallout in Tokyo
May Come From Nevada
TOKYO, UP)—Japan’s Central
Meteorological Observatory Tues
day said it had found strong ra
dioactivity in Saturday’s snowfall
in the Tokyo area.

specialist, said the radioactivity

Nevada tests.”
No Pay Rent, No TV
BECCLES, England, UP)—The
town council decided Monday that
tenants in municipal housing
projects will be denied permis
sion to put up television aerials if
they are behind in their rent.
“If a tenant can’t afford to pay

vision set,” a council spokesman
explained.

New Warning
Signal System of
Enemy Air Attack
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., UP)—A
new warning signal system of en
emy air attack—which drops the
general all-clear signal because of
radioactive fallout danger—has
been worked out by civil defense.
The United States and Canada
have adopted the system together.
New, simplified signals are to
be sounded on sirens, horns and
other warning devices. There are
two signals: one is the “Alert” and
the other the “Take Cover.”
The “All Clear,” in effect since
1951, has been eliminated in view
of radioactive fallout.
U.S. civil defense headquarters
here said it could be unwise to
give a general all-clear since some
areas could still be in danger be
cause of fallout.
A spokesman said individual
areas would handle their own all
clear communication to citizens
through radio or other means, in
cluding patrol groups.
