SIX INDIANA EVENING GAZETTE, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1958. Ike Silent Over Entry In Primary (Continued From Page One) the White House said there would be no statement "signifying either assent or dissent." The statement was issued by Press Secretary James C. who said he had Eisenhower's1 approval. Hagerty stressed that Elsenhower did not know in advance of Stratton's plans. Stratton sald, too, he had not consulted Eisenhower.

He added: "This is our way of saying, Mr. President, we hope you run again." The state's preference primary is advisory onlynot binding on delegates. Shortly therealter, it was announced that Eisenhower's name will be entered in the Florida preference primary May 29. State GOP Chairman G. Harold Alexander said at Fort Myers, "There definitely will be a slate for Eisenhower and it will win by an overwhelming majority." A candidate's consent is not required for entry in the preference primaries in Florida or Illinois.

Nor is it required in New Hampshire, where announcement was made earlier that his supporters will file his name in that state's March 13 primary, the first in the nation. Regardless of what Eisenhower decides about a second term, the very presence of his name in the primaries serves as a "holding action" which prevents the building up of other candidates. It may thus affect the plans of Senate Minority Leader Knowland of California, whose friends have indicated that his name may be entered in Illinois if there is no early announcement from Eisenhower. Hagerty noted that under Illinois "there is nothing the Presldent needs to do" about the entry of his name. "Consequently, there will be no official statement from here signifying either assent or dissent," Hagerty said.

"I want to make it clear, 1 however, that lack of any assent or dissent can not be taken to mean that the President has yet made any ultimate decision on whether again to be a candidate. "That decision he and he alone will make." Sen. Beall (R-Md) told reporters that if Eisenhower didn't plan to run "he would have said something about it before now." Sen. Wiley (R-Wis) said the developments "only confirm my belief, and my prayers and hopes, that he will see it as his duty to run." Sen. Anderson (D-NM) sald he still thinks "there is no doubt President Eisenhower will run again." He added he thinks the Democrats will defeat Sen.

Dirksen (R-II1) described, as "highly encouraging" a report issued by Hagerty yesterday on behalf of three of Eisenhower's physicians. The report, made after a 45-minute examination, said Eisenhower's "physical, condition is excellent." Several Republicans jumped on Sen. Kerr (D-Okla), meanwhile, for suggesting in a news letter to onstituents that Republicans to bring" Eisenhower to the GOP nominating convention, "even if he has to stay in Letterman General Hospital, which reportedly is preparing a suite for him." A spokesman for the Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco said no suite has ever been designated for Eisenhower, The spokesman said the Army decided recently to make some improvements on the hospital, built in 1898, and that one is a suite for dignitaries on which work is going ahead. Maj. Gen.

Paul I. Robinson, hospital commandant, had said' Dec. 25 a suite was being prepared at the hospital and that it would be ready if the President should attend the GOP convention next August and need a place to rest. Chairman Leonard W. Hall of the Republican National Committee issued a statement speaking of "the viciousness of Sen.

Kerr's remarks," and adding: "The Letterman General Hospital has not received any request from the Republican National Committee or from anyone else for a room for President Eisenhower and any intimation to the contrary is an unmitigated lie. "Shame on Sen. Kerr!" Pen Inmates To Aid Test WASHINGTON (P -Prisoner volunteers at Ohio State Penitentiary are going to help the Army and Ohio State University test a cine for tularemia popularly known as "rabbit fever." The Army Chemical Corps announced today it has contracted with the university to conduct the. test of the preventive material. About 100 volunteers will be' needed for the program, which will' require about a year.

Thousands of preliminary testsi with mice, rats, guinea pigs, keys and chimpanzees have been made. Some volunteers will be vaccinated, then later injected with tulgremis germs. For comparison, other volunteers will be given only the injection to produce disease without the preventive vaccine. Injured Man Removed From Smashed Vehicle VA Jacob Shaffer, 29, driver for Johnstown Linen Company is shown above being removed from his truck shortly after it was involved in a three-truck collision on Chestnut Ridge on Route 422 seven miles east of Indiana yesterday shortly before noon. Shaffer is in good condition in Indiana Hospital where he is being treated for an injured left and cuts of the chin.

State Police of the Indiana substation said Shaffer was injured when a new army truck in transit attempted to pass a tractor-trailer loaded with bricks as both were traveling east. The Shaffer driven truck was traveling west. Driver of the army truck was Ronald Dobson, 22, of Utica, who was arrested by motor vehicle code, and the tractor-trailer was driven by Kenneth Steffey of Reading. Dobson suffered a laceration of the face. Damages to the army truck were set at $2,500 at $2,000 to the linen truck and $250 to the third vehicle.

Leader volunteered his tax state-! ment at the opening of the news'19.

conference in an obvious attempt to follow up on the failure of a third bipartisan tax compromise conference yesterday. Leader, referring to a statement by House Democratic Floor leader Readinger that Democrats may be! forced to accept a sales tax, Readinger spoke for himself and had not consulted the governor on it. The governor said state services take full and complete responsibility for the Democratic tax gram." He was asked if he would veto a sales tax. "It will be a Republican program and I am offering to give them anything they want and reciprocate to us." Another question was on whether the administration's tax program included an Income tax. He said it could include such a levy but declined to commit himself at this! time.

In turn, he said, he would place "no limitations" on Republicans on what their tax program should be. Asked what he would do should Republicans toss aside his halland-half proposal and insist on a 3 per cent sales tax, Leader replied: "If they will not buy this program--which in my opinion is Dulles Talk May Create Hot Issue (Continued From Page One) (in the three Instances cited). Of course we were brought to the verge of war. "The ability to get to the verge without getting into war is the necessary art. If you cannot It, you inevitably get into war.

If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost. "We've had to look it square In the face We walked to the brink and we looked it in the face. We took strong action." The three situations Dulles cited took somewhat different forms. In general the United States told the Communists, by various public or private means, that it might go to war if they went too far -If they attacked Formosa, for instance. Preparedness for war against any Red aggression has been a cardinal principle of Western policy for a long time.

But it has seldom been stated in such frank and simple language as Dulles' latest words. Many times it is words rather than the central, basic ideas which people particularly those in Allied countries react to. That was the case when Dulles stated his policy of "massive retaliation," and when in 1954 he cautioned the French of an "agonizing reappraisal" of U.S. policy if they did not go through with a plan to bring a rearmed Germany into the Atlantic Alliance. Any secretary of state has many critics at home and abroad ready to seize on his words, as well as defenders.

Dulles apparently feels that an unvarnished statement helps bring home the fundamentals of his policies, even at the cost of public argument. His present words, however, have another dimension. They are quoted in the context of an article which claims major achievements for. the policy even 'in the case of the Indochina settlement which lost a large portion of Viet Nam to the Communists. That settlement was forced.

The French were sick of the Indochina war and felt they could not continue it. Dulles was unable, in advance of the Geneva settlement in August 1954, to create a front for possible intervention. The British refused to go along. I OBITUARIES H. JENNIE COLEMAN, widow of Thomas Hervey Coleman, passed away Wednesday, January 11, 1956 at 10:30 p.m.

"Right at this moment, school districts are finding it difficult to pay teachers and finding it impossible to borrow money," he added. Leader then turned to a proposal Sen. Taylor made yesterday that the first 40 cents of any purchase should be exempted from the Republican 3 per cent sales tax plan.

"I doubt that anything could be, harder on the individual than the 13 per cent sales tax," said Leader. "Sen. Taylor wants to help the little fellow--so he wants to sticki them with a 3 per cent sales Leader, when asked it he would sign a sales tax; replied in the affirmative and immediately punctuated it with this condition: "As a Republican tax program and their assumption of responsibility of half of our financial needs." The Governor said he was convinced that Republicans are "in a pretty good knock down any tax program we put up." British Rush Paratroops To Cyprus (Continued from Page One) openly critical of Britain's departure from the canal zone. The possibility Britain may slow down its Suez Canal evacuation came barely a month before the previously expected completion of the project. More than 65 per cent of the garrison already has moved out under terms of the British-Egyptian Suez agreement and at the present rate it was anticipated the whole force would be out by the end of next month, months ahead of schedule.

The pact provides, however, that only 75 per cent of the original force must be out by Feb. 19 and the other 20,000 can stay until June Informants said that in view of the troubled situation, the Brit-; ish may revert to the original schedule. The Egyptian government has, not commented on the possible change.
