Japan 5 Newspapers
Favorable 10 General
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

TOKYO. July 12.-The Japa-
nese press today regarded the
nomination of Gen. Eisenhower
as Republican presidential candi-
date as generally favorable in
view of his campaign pronounce
ments on Japan and Asia.
There was no official reaction.
The news caught most japanese
in bed. Newspapers rushed to
print with early morning extras
in Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe, and
the government radio made a spe-
cial announcement at $50 am.
HONG KONG, July IL (R.-
Hong Kong's. two morning Eng
lish language papers played news
of Gen. Eisenhower's nomination
by the Republican Party under
banner headlines.
But the Chinese language pa
pers this morning featured the
big bombing raid in Korea by
more than $50 Allied planes and
gave Gen. Eisenhower's nomina-
ton second place.

the street to pay "a visit of
friendship" with the man whom
he had Inundated, winning from
him an embarrassed assurance
Of support, was a masterpiece of
politics. That's the sort of thing
Gen. Eisenhower does by In
stinct. He may have a lot of it to
do.
Principal spokesman for SEN
ator Taft and all that Taft had
come to represent in Republican
politics was Col. r. r. Nc
Cormick. editor Of the Chicago
Tribune and other newspapers.
The very day Of Ike's triumph,
