TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1956. IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH. ELEVEN 'D-Day' Hearing For Eisenhower, Nation Waiting Editor's Note--As the day for President Eisenhower's decision on a second term approaches, the nation finds itself in a situation without precedent in the history of the presidency. Here, by a Pulitzer Prize winning correspondent, is the first of four stories dealing with various aspects of the decision, the factors by which it will be influenced and the effects it will have on the nation. By RELMAN MORIN WASHINGTON HV-President Eisenhower is rapidly approaching his personal "D-day." And for this political capital, it will end a guessing game of unparalleled magnitude.

Eisenhower's decision on whether he can and will run for a second term presumably awaits only one thing now--the findings in his next physical checkup. For a particular reason, this will be an unusually important examination. Its purpose is to determine, as accurately as possible, how Eisenhower has stood up under the massive weight of the presidency after a full month at work. Next Thursday marks the end of this month. The President's personal physician, Maj.

Gen. Howard Snyder, told reporters, "No man who is just months past a heart attack is in a position yet to determine his own physical fitness. He should have more time--all the time he needs." Snyder said, however, that he hopes to complete preliminary tests Feb. 13 with the rest of the examination the next day. Then the President plans to take a brief rest, probably in a secluded forest lodge near Thomasville, Ga.

Eisi-nhower may work out his decision there--and quickly. "I hope I am not going to dilly dally too long about it," he said. Some observers in Washington believe he already knows what he is going to do, but others who are close to him are convinced that he has made no decision. The President himself says he has not, and that he will "make the announcement as quickly as a decision is firmly reached in my mind." Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the capital is electric with speculation and debate, gossip, wishful thinking, rumor and undercurrents of anxiety and expectation. It is very much like the feeiing in a courtroom when the jury is about to come in with the verdict.

If there is a majority guess, it Is that Eisenhower will not run. But the people who feel that way today usually add, "Last week, I thought just the opposite." So do those who now believe he will run. When you ask what brought the change of mind, people usually answer, "Well, when he said the other day that-." Eisenhower has discussed the subject in many ways. "I have to guess as to the next five years My mind is not fixed to such an extent that it can't be changed Where does the sense of duty point? future life must be regulated." The remarkable fact is that his political friends and foes both find comfort and reassurance in these remarks. The Republican interpretation: "In effect, he's saying to the people, 'Here's my condition.

Now if you want to vote for me, I'm He's being perfectly honest about the situation." Never in the history of the presidency has there been a situation quite like this one. It is normal for a president to play cat-and- mouse with his decision. But in this case, the uncertainties that arise from a heart attack have added the X-factor. From Washington, the hopes and anxieties spread across the whole of America. There are the Republicans who hope to get the nomination if Eisenhower does not run.

There are the 17 GOP senators, the 16 governors, and the 203 Republican WASHING and SIMOMZING All Work Guaranteed ALLEN'S Sinclair Service Cor.

congressmen who come up for reelection this year and would hope to benefit from the President's popularity. All the way to the courthouse level are thousands of office holders, and would be office holders, whose future may very well hinge on Eisenhower's decision. The political arena is not the only affected area. In Wall Street and in business circles generally you hear the same word repeated over and As one analyst puts it; "We've been running this country by cardiograph for the last four months." The uncertainty will be dispelled after the President's checkup. Usually, such examinations consist of the cardiograph which charts the heart action electrically, measurements of the pulse, blood pressure, and dimensions of the heart, and an X-ray examination of the heart.

This data, along with fluid analyses, is then compared with comparable data from previous examinations. But a supremely important phase of the check may be the patient himself--what he tells his doctors of his feelings and reactions. Does he tire readily? Does he have any echoes of pain? Does he have feelings of breathlessness? Hence, the President's doctors can only give him a report on their finding's and their best judgment as to his condition. Eisenhower is 65. If he serves a second term, he would be 70 at the end, the first man in history to reach that age in the presidency.

Life insurance company statistics indicate that 47 per cent of the men in his age bracket live 10 years or more after a heart attack. However, cardiologists have little faith in statistics. They cite several reasons. Among them are the mysterious effects of worry, strain and emotion on the human machine. Doctors can protect the President pretty well from fatigue and the mechanical effects of his job.

But they can't keep him from worrying about the tremendous responsibilities that go with it. Dr. Paul Dudley White, Boston specialist who has been attending Eisenhower, recently minimized this factor. "I personally don't think stress and strain is as important as diet," he said. As to the second term, Dr.

White said Eisenhower would have to make that decision himself "knowing in full what the hazards are." (Next: The President himself as D-Day approaches) To Tell Work Of Trust Fund The purposes, objectives, and functions of the Michigan Veterans Trust Fund will be explained at the American Legion clubrooms in Wakefield at 8 p.m. Thursday. Invited to the meeting with the board of trustees of the Trust Fund and the Gogebic, Iron, and Ontonagon County committees are members of the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Commission, judges of probate, directors of bureaus of social aid, all post commanders of veterans organizations in the three counties, and post service officers.

He laughs: "Radio made me sloppy and I know it. I'm going to wait and see if the show is a success first before I hold my lips Except for two spectaculars in 1951 and occasional guestings, Bergen, one of the all-time radio greats, nixed all weekly shows until now. "I decided a comedian shouldn't be on every week," he says.

"I like this show because I'm not out there saying, 'I'm going to be funny, I first ignored my agents who said "TV won't wait for you, Bergan. TV will create its own stars." Well TV has created stars and killed them. But the old school-the Bennys, the Cantors, the Durantes and the Hopes- are still around. Maybe there's hope for me."
