The mounting pressure upon
President Eisenhower to seek
another term is understanda-
Bile, and so is the desire to have
him say yes" as soon as pos
sihle to relieve anxiety among
party leaders who seem con-
vinced that he alone could lead
the Republicans to victory next
year.
--'' Yet astute party managers
recognize that it would be un-i
wise politically, both for the
President and his party, TO an
nounce his intentions too far
ahead of the nominating con-
Sention next August. Conse-
sduently they do not expect any
word from the President until
early next year.
- II he intends to run again.
which Is the prevailing belief
here, a firm public statement
very soon could make him the
open target of two groups.
One is, Of course, the Demo-
Gratis. Thus far they have been
most discreet about attacking
the President. He has been
able to remain a sort Of politi-
cal Prince Charming. sitting
serene and aloof far above the
political wars. AS candidate"
Eisenhower he would be in a
more vulnerable position.
. The other group is within
his own party. This is the
anti Eisenhower elemen t,
comparatively small and now
uuiescent and Intellectual with
the obscurity that settled over
Its once dramatic symbol
4 Senator Joe Mccarthy. But.
once the President clarified
!, his position, either as candi-
date or the more unlikely all
tentative of retirement, the
anti Eisenhower wing would
be emboldened to try to muddy
the waters, and could become a
real nuisance If it could get
started early enough.
The Eisenhower "yes or no"
decision involves much more
than a personal political de-
,tcision. There are two con-
qsiderstions that could affect
the strength Of the party as
it approaches the next elec-
!, tion.
For one, there is the session
Of Congress coming up before
the national convention and
the elections. Democrats still
will be in the drivers seats at
the Capitol. The President and
his party want to come out of
the prediction session Of
Congress as well as possible,
for that will be part of their
record, as well as of the
Democratic record.
.. II the President becomes an
announced candidate for re-
election in advance of the con-
vening of Congress that would
weaken his position in laying
down a program at the open
ing of Congress. He would get
off to a more suspicious start
with Congress II he spoke as
President Of all the people and
not as a political figure. He
% must, of course. make known
his decision during the session
of Congress. but it could wait.
c Another consideration is the
current phase in our foreign
policy resulting from the estab-
7lishment Of more friendly rela-
tions with Russia. Mr.. Eisen-
hover will need every bit of the
greatly enhanced prestige he
won at the Geneva Big Four
Conference as negotiations get
down to ground level and away
from the summit" which will
bring the real test in the next
? few weeks and months. It will
i be to his advantage to keep
above partisanship SO far as
possible, which involves the

Gore Confident
On Highway Bill!
By J. A. oTEARY

A provision requiring the Fed
eral Government to pay 80 per
cent of the cost of q vast high
way building program was viewed
today by Senator Gore, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee as improving
chances for passage Of his high
way bill.
President Eisenhower's bond
issue method of rebuilding and
undermining the Nations high
way system was rejected 8 I'd 4
by the Senate Public Works
Committee yesterday. {
Republicans backing the Pres
dents plan looked to the House
to deal more sympathetically
with it, however. L
The Republicans also have
been counting on many Gov
errors to help swing congress
sional sentiment in its favor
rather than for the Gore bill.
Several Republican and Demo-
cratic Governors spoke out for
the administration proposal at
meetings here earlier this week.
Opposition Weakened
The Tennessee Senator pre-
dicted, however. that a change
which the Senate committee has
made in his bill would go far
to eliminate opposition from
Governors.
The 80 per cent figure ap-
proved by the committee yester-
day compares with the rs per
cent which Senator Gore origi-
nally proposed and the present
so per cent.
President Eisenhower had pro-
posed that the Federal Govern
ment pay practically all the cost
of the interstate system but
largely through a bond issue ar
rangement that aroused consid-
cradle opposition in Congress.
The Senate =. committee ex-
poets to report out the Gore sub
stitute bill Monday, possibly with
further revisions.
49,. Criticize Gore Bill
Meanwhile, the Highways-for-
Survival Committee, a nom
political citizens group, declared
today that under the Gore bill
the people of the District would
pay lot per cent more for Fed
eral aid for road construction
here than under bill before the
House Public Works Committee.
The organization explained that
under the Senate bill States
would have to put up 81 for every
SO contributed by the Federal
Government.
Senator Bush, Republican. Of
Connecticut, said today Repub-
licans will renew their fight for
the Presidents bond issue pro-
posal on the Senate floor if it
remains out of the bill as repo"
ed from committee Monde II

secondary and that wages and

Win Pay Boost

The threat Of a strike by more
than 5000 union carpenters in
the Washington area has been
averted by agreement as wage
increases In a new two-year con-
tract.
The agreement boosts the car
penters' present So an hour pay

tors Council, called by officials of

The carpenters had voted to
strike If necessary to get their
demands.
Others Win More Pay
B. B. Blackburn, secretary Of
the AFL council. said the new
wage agreement covered about
$500 workers. Most are car
penters, but the agreement also
boosted wages of pile drivers and
millwrights.
The pile drivers wages will in
crease from $3.12h cents an
hour to 1925 and the millwrights'
from SO to $325. Each group will
get an additional 10 u cent raise
next May /.
Mr.. Blackburn said the union
negotiating team was authorized
to sign a memorandum Of
agreement" pending writing Of
the final contract. A manage
ment spokesman said his nego-
tiating team also agreed. The
pact will come before the Con-
struction Contractors Council
Board of Directors next week for
ratification.

DR.. Scheele testified in OPPOSE

backed the administrations plan

Some form of Federal legisla-

In general, they welcomed DR..
Scheele's assurances that the
Salk vaccine will prove itself a
potent weapon against polio. But
they viewed with skepticism his
opinion that the vaccine will get
to the age-groups which need it
most without stronger direction
from Washintor.
The HEW Department said no
live virus has been found in the

spokesman said clearance Of the

results of the investigation now

by the unions. This settlement
would be by the neutral arbiter.
A presidential emergency board
had recommended early last year
that the Nations railroads and
the incorporating unions jointly
bear the cost of health insur-
ance plan. The unions sue
ceeded in reaching agreement on
most railroads.
The LIN, however, opposed
requiring it's employees to con-
tribute toward the insurance
plan. The plan called for the
employer and worker each to
contribute $3.40 q month.
Insisted on Full Payment
When the LIN took this posi-
ton the unions insisted that
the LIN pay the entire cost, and
there the dispute has rested
during most of the strike.
The L&N management had
indicated that it was opposed to

roads which has refused to grant
the union shop, although this
issue was not involved in the
dispute.
Although the health insurance
plan was the prime issue in the
case, the unions originally had
also asked for improved vaca-
ton, holiday and Sunday pay
provisions, as well as more liberal
free pass privileges for rail
travel. The LIN also had mi

for changes in working condi-

South's other major labor dis

the Southern Bell Telephone Co.
And the telephone company
turned down an offer of the CLIO
Communications workers of
America for full public arbitra-
ton of the issues.
Southern Bell termed the offer
"a calculated attempt to gain
from an arbiter what the union
has not been able to justify
through the process of collective
bargaining"
A heavy dynamite blast at the
Walnut Street Bridge in Chat
tanooga, Tenn. damaged cables
carrying local circuits and ripped
out most of a side of a nearby
store. The blast was the second
to occur under the bridge within
a week and the third since the
strike began.
