IKE" Says: I'm Not Talking

WASHINGTON, - (P) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said Sat urday he meant every word in his statement of Jan. 23, taking himself out of the presidential nomination picture.
 The retired army chief of staff talked with reporters as he left a conference on defense with pres ident Truman.
 Asked for a direct statement on the presidency, Ike said he did not talk politics with MT. Truman. He added:
 "I made up my mind to say nothing more wrote a letter and meant every word of it.:
 "I told my aides they could do the talking from now on. I'm not talking any more. I find it doesn't do any good"
 Eisenhower in a letter to a New Hampshire publisher last January 23 said he could not ac- cept a presidential nomination He said his decision to completely remove himself from the pOli- tical scene was definite and posi- tive"
 That letter was written at a time Ike was being mentioned prominently for the Republican presidential candidate.
 Since then Eisenhower has been talked of for the Democratic nom- ination.

I feel grate- ful that Congress, so far, has passed none of the several bills that have been submitted. Every informed citizen should keep alert to the danger of federal aid to education.

who represented Mr.. Stevenson in

said he would file a petition for the

Texas Supreme Courl
Due 10 Rule Today on
Senate Ballot Fight

Legal msneuvering continued
today over the heated Texas
senatorial contest after Supreme
Court Justice Black struck down
a temporary Injunction barring
Representative Lyndon B. john
son from the November 2 ballot.
The Texas Supreme Court was
expected to rule during the day on
motion to have Mr.. Johnson's
name placed on the ballot as the
Democratic Senate nominee.
The motion WIS filed last night
by Mr.. Johnson's attorneys in a
move to bulwark the ruling of JUS
tice Black which held, in effect,
that Mr.. Johnson's name should go
on the ballot.
Justice Blacks ruling overthrow
ing temporary injunction granted
by Federal Judge T. Whitfield
Davidson in Texas was given after
a four hour hearing here yesterday.
Ballot Frauds Charged.
The injunction was obtained by
former Gov. Coke Stevenson, who
lost by 81 votes to Mr.. johnson in
the closest senatorial election in the
history of Texas. Mr.. Stevenson
charged ballot frauds in three
South Texas counties.
After hearing lengthy arguments
by attorneys for both candidates,
Justice Black declared:
1T would be a drastic break with
the past to permit a Federal judge
and Federal courts to 60 into the
business Of conducting a contest
over elections in State.
There, is no statutory justifica-
ton for Federal court to enjoin
the steps OF an election"
Deadline is Sunday.
The justice specified that his stay
order would stand until the full
court has an opportunity to consider
the issue, if, as Mr.. Black said, "it
wants to consider it,
The court does not meet until next
Monday, however. Under Texas law
a candidates name must be certified
by Sunday, october 3, to appear on
the ballot and the temporary in
junction obtained by Mr.. Stevenson
blocked the certification of Mr.
Johnson as the nominee.
The case came before Justice
Black in a desperate move by Mr.
Johnsons attorneys fighting against
time.
