“CAMPAIGN” IS NOT THE WORD FOR IT
President Eisenhower wants it understood that if
he should do some traveling and speech-making this
fall, it would be in connection with his program, not
the campaign.
Asked at his press conference whether he would
modify his policy of not supporting individual candi
dates by name, the President reviewed his previous
statement that he was not going into different districts
stumping for particular candidates. Wherever he
spoke, he would be talking about a program, and if
he was in an area where an individual had supported
that program, he would expect or hope that his presence
would be helpful.
The President reminded the reporters that he had
never pledged himself to abstain from making a speech
or going anywhere. He expected, he said, to do some
traveling, and hoped it would not damage anyone who
had supported his program.
According to those who keep tabs on such things,
President Eisenhower has posed thus far with 106
senators and representatives who are seeking re-elec
tion, and who will obviously use the pictures to the
limit.
Regarding his travels, the President indicated he
had tentatively accepted what seemed to him like a
good many speaking engagements. There had been
no effort to conceal them, he said. Announcement
would be made as soon as they could be made definite.
Thus, for President Eisenhower, there will be no
campaigning. But he’s going on the road to sell a
bill of goods. And if there are people around here and
there who want to carry his sample case, they will
receive his blessing.
And if that makes Ike a politician . . . perhaps it’s
just as well.

Government to Seek
New Perjury Indictment
V^ain^t Owen Lattimore
WASHINGTON, 1*1—'The gov
ernment will seek a new perjury
indictment against Owen Latti
more, controversial Far Eastern
specialist, it was announced yes
terday. ,
In December, 1952, a federal
grand jury indicted Lattimore,
one-time Far Eastern affairs ad
viser to the State Department, on
seven counts of perjury growing
out of his sworn testimony before
the Senate Internal Security Sub
committee.
Two' of those counts, including
the key one—that he lied when
he said he never was a Commu
nist sympathizer or promoter of
Red interests—later were thrown
out on appeal on the ground that
they were too vague.
Lattimore’s counsel said he will
offer new evidence to a grand
jury beginning Sept. 13.
Crashed Plane Found
W;th 2 Men Aboard Killed
ANCHORAGE, UPi — A ground
party reached the wreckage of a
military plane in a wilderness
area 100 miles north of here yes

men aboard were killed.

Chinese Communists
Again Call For The
“Liberation” of Formosa
TOKYO, OP)—Communist China
called again today for the “libera
tion” of Formosa and declared
“we shall not stop until this ob
jective is attained.”
A Peiping radio broadcast said
Formosa “must be liberated by
the Chinese people and they will
brook no U.S. occupation, no U.N.
trusteeship, no neutralization.”
The United States has guarded
the Chinese Nationalist island
'from invasion since 1950 and
only this week the U.S. Pacific
commander-in-chief, Adm. Felix
Stump, said on Formosa that the
7th Fleet “would do whatever is
militarily expedient” in the de
fense of Formosa.
Cost of Living Index
^i^es A«»ain In July
WASHINGTON, UP) — Higher
food prices, attributed mainly to
drought conditions sent the gov
ernment’s cost index up slightly
in July. It was the third straight
month of rising costs and will
mean a penny-an-hour boost for
about one million workers in the
auto, aircraft and farm equipment
industries.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today that its index for
July was 115.2 per cent of the
1947-49 living cost average. This
is just two-tenths of a point under
the record reached last October.
The BLS said higher prices for
fresh fruits and vegetables, owing
to dry weather in the East and
Midwest, caused the July living
cost rise.
South Fairbanks Votes
vor Annexation After
24-Hour Drinking Permit
FAIRBANKS, UP)—After an
agreement to permit persons in the
area south of here to keep their
whistles wet 24 hours a day until
Jan. 1, 1956, residents of South
Fairbanks voted for annexation
Tuesday.
The special election vote was
215 for and 114 against becoming
part of Fairbanks.
Principal opposition to annex
ation earlier had come from bar
and night clubs, whose operation
would have been curtailed by thr
ctiy closing hours.
The city council agreed to per
mit the South Fairbanks bars and
night clubs to’ operate 24 hour'
a day until Jan. 1, 1956, when
their territorial licenses expire.
Then the owners can decide to
abide by city regulations or move
their businesses elsewhere.

Hickel to Sit for GOPs
At Republican National
Convention After All
FAIRBANKS, UP>—It appeared
Saturday that Walter Hickel of
Anchorage will sit in for Alaska
on the Republican National Com
mittee after all.
Hickel was elected national
corpmitteeman in last spring’s
primary election under a political
procedures law passed by the 1953
legislature. But he has led an
off-again, on-again role since
then.
Hickel received a letter earlier
this week from Leonard Hall, Re
publican national chairman, ad
vising that he would not be seated
at the committee meeting in Cin
cinnati next week; that the com
mittee didn’t recognize the resig
nation of Committeeman Robert
McKanna of Fairbanks as official.
As a result, McKanna wired his
resignation to Hall. He also said
he was giving Hickel his proxy,
which would assure his voice in
the committee.
