Evidence Grows
That Ike Will Not
Be Candidate In *56
DENVER, UP)—The direction of
government shifted back to Den
ver today as President Eisen
hower continued to improve from
his heart attack and his chief
deputy flew here from Washing
ton.
At the same time, one of his
principal physicians added to tne
growing evidence Eisenhower will
retire at the end of his present
term by saying if he were the
President he “wouldn’t want to
run again.”
Dr. Paul Dudley White, asked
whether it would be possible for
the President to run again, to’d
a national television audience:
“Many things are possible that
may not be advisable. It is up to
him to make the decision. He
may or may not have complete
recovery ... If' I were in his
shoes I wouldn’t wanr to run
again, having seen the strain.”
A bit later, in their customary
7 a.m. medical bulletin, Eisen
hower’s doctors at Fitzsimmons
Hospital here reported that he en
joyed “an excellent night”—their
first use of that word since his
heart attack last Saturday. Pre
viously they have termed his
nights “comfortable” or “very
comfortable.”
The decision of Sherman
Adams, the assistant to the Presi
dent, to join the Denver White
House party, spelled the virtual
end of any possible plans to dele
gate any of Eisenhower’s author
ity during his illness.

U.S. Uninformed
On Headwaters Of
The Yukon River
JUNEAU, (#—A U.S. Reclama
tion Bureau official told the
House subcommittee on Territor
ial and Insular Affairs yesterday
the United States is “woefully
uninformed on water supply” pro
vided by the headwaters of .he
Yukon River.
Appearing at a committee in
quiry into Alaska activities of the
Reclamation Bureau and its study
of the Yukon water potential,
Darrell Roberts, acting territorial
manager for the agency, said the
bureau has good infoimation on
the American side in southeastern
Alaska but knows Lttle about the
headwaters in Canada.
Rep. B. F. Fisk <D - Calif) de
clared, “we are not going to be
in a very advantageous position” |
to conduct international negotia
tions with Canada in relation to
development of the huge potential
power source.
Wednesday Roberts told the
committee development of the
Yukon “will have to be worked
out at the State Department
level.” He said his agency al
ready has requested the State De
partment to investigate present
Canadian activities.
A proposed power site in the
Skagway-Taiya area, Roberts said
would be more economical than
developing the Taku River power
which has been projected by the
Canadians, along with the head
waters of the Yukon, as an alter
nate to the Taiya project be
cause it would be entirely in
Canadian territory.
Robert proposed an internation
al commission of United States
and Canadian members to work
out development plans.

* JUNEAU, Lf) — The director of
the Alaska Dept, of Fisheries
urged yesterday that control of
Alaska fisheries be turned over
to the territory.
C. L. Anderson testified at con
cluding sessions here of an on
the-spot study of Alaska devel
opment being conducted by the
House subcommittee on Terri- °
and Insular Affairs.
Anderson told the Congressmen
he feels responsibility for the de
pletion of Alaskan salmon runs
lies squarely with the federal
government.
It is notable that the drop in
salmon runs has occurred here de
spite the fact that Alaska has not
yet been subjected to the inroads
of civilization,” Anderson said.
“Alaska is practically in a pri
meval state. The building of
dams, deforestation and pollution
—all deterrents to flourishing sal
mon runs—have not been a pro
blem in Alaska. Yet the runs have
steadily declined.”
The Fisheries director said con
trol of Alaska fisheries once was
provided in the orginal Organic
Act, which was amended later to
place control with the Fish and
Wildlife Service,a federal agency.
“The reason given was that the
federal government could do the
job better than Alaskans,” An
derson told the committee.” If
the federal government had done
a good job, we wouldn’t be sitting
here today.”
Anderson argued that Alaska
could finance the job of regulat
ing Alaska fisheries. To do a good
job, he estimated, it would take
1 mililon dollars annually. He
said if Alaska could get one half
of the net income from the sale
of seal furs from the Pribiiof
Islands, which would mean $1,
200,000 based on the average of
the last four years, the territory
could do the job.
“It would leave the cost to
the territory about $300,000 which
is less than we are getting now
to operate the Department of
Fisheries.”
