Richard Nixon, in the strongest, sign yet that he will stay on HS the Republican candidate for vice president, announced plans today foY a radio-television report to the voters of America on his finances and political. The California senator, his campaign by an $18,000 ex- pease fund, broke off his current Western trip temporarily to present hi.s case before the people, either Tuesday or Wednesday night. But he emphasized that he intends to resume the tour. "I informed Gen. Eisenhower Sunday night in a telephone conversation of my decision," Nixon told newsmen, referring to the radio-television plans, "and he I agreed that that wa.s the proper way to handle the situation." Ike Standing By Nixon It was immediately taken as a strong indication that Eisenhower has decided to stand by his young running mate.

Nixon has contended he used the $18,000 for his fight, against communism and corruption and not for personal profit. A reporter asked whether Nixon's announcement "means you are staying?" "That means I Intend to continue the tour," Nixon replied. "Does It mean you are remaining on the ticket?" "I have no further comment," The U.
