Radford and Assistant Secre-
tary of State Robertson to
Formosa.
Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff. and Assistant Secretary
of State Walter S. Robertson left
hurriedly by air this afternoon
for consultations in Formosa on
what was described officially as
the highly tense and highly
serious" situation in the Far
East.
The State Department dis
closed that the ranking military
officer and the top specialist on
Asian Affairs were dispatched
to Taipei after Secretary of State
Dulles had conversations on the
subject with President Eisen-
mower and others.
A joint announcement by the
State and Defense Departments
said the consultations on For
mosa will be conducted under
provisions of the Mutual Defense
Treaty between the United States
and the Republic of China, which
calls for meetings from time to
time to implement the treaty.
Henry Suydarn, State De-
partment press officer was the
authority for information that
Mr.. Dulles had conferred with
the President before the officials
were sent to Formosa.
Red Buildup Mentioned
Mr.. Suydam said it probably
was a reasonable assumption
that the decision was made when
Mr.. Dulles conferred with Presi-
dent Eisenhower in Augusta
Sunday. After that conference
the Secretary said the Govern
ment had new information of q
serious buildup of Chinese Com
munists power on the mainland
opposite Formosa.
The joint announcement was
made this morning. Admiral
Radford Cancelled a trip to
Europe and he and Mr.. Robert
son left by plane at 1915 this
afternoon.
The situation, however. did
not prevent Mr.. Dulles from de-
parting Immediately after their
plane left for a few days vaca-
ton at Duck Island, in Lake On
tario. Mr.. Suydam said this is
one of the most accessible vaca-
ton spots" and there are ample
communications between Wash
ington and the island. Mr.. Dulles
is expected to return to the Capt.
tai Monday morning.
Pair Sees no Sudden Change
The State Departments ad-
mission of the urgency of the
situation was in marked con-
trast to the statements of the
two officials as they left Ma
tional Airport. Both told re-
porters then that there had been
no sudden change in the situa-
ton necessitating a hurried trip.
Admiral Radford said that
there has been a "methodical.
determined buildup on the China
mainland which points out that
the Chinese Communists have
not devisted from their inten-
ton to take Formosa by force
if necessary"
Mr.. Robertson said there was
nothing new" in the Far East
situation.
"It is Just a tense situation
that exists there" he said.
The Ambassador added that

''Golly. sometimes You sure do get
tired of all this clackety-clack."
There have been statements
about how the President was
fighting mad" about the outcome
Of the off-year voting and how he
would happily do battle against
the Democrats in the autumn Of
next year. This at best represented
the wishful thinking of some of the
COP leaders on Capitol Hill.
As a matter of fact, his press
secretary. James c. Hagerty, re-
Gently described as nonsense" a
story that Ike had promised party
leaders to stand for reelection.
The people who say he must run
again overlook or ignore numerous
hints to the contrary. They have
not walked with him. as a few ofus
in the newspaper business have,
around the Gettysburg farm and
heard him plan for his future there.
7hsix First Meune
They overlook the fact, too. that
partly asa result Of long military
service and fixed tours of duty.
Mr.. Eisenhower has no idea that
he Is indispensable. He can decline
to seek reelection with no qualms
of walking out" on his party
because he believes the COP has
more than a few men who measure
up well as presidential timber.
Pleas that he run to save the COP
consequently would not strike him
with overpoWering impact.
Rightly Or wrongly, this reporter
has been deeply influenced by MIR.
Eisenhower's words and behavior
at Gettysburg. In some ways. he
and Mamie resemble newlyueds,
with Ike acting like a bridegroom
preparing his first bower. He
speaks with conviction about set

War battlefield.

was widely quoted as saying life IN
the White House was too hard on
Mrs. Eisenhower.
Regardless of what .Ike's deci-
sion IS. he'll probably keep It to
himself until shortly before the
COP nominating convention next
year. II he is not going to run, he
will not want to disclose the fact
too far in advance. His position as
titular head Of the party would
deteriorate rapidly.
In the interim, the chief execu-
tive viii do a lot Of teasing about
his future. Hell undoubtedly toss
cryptic remarks into his press con-
ferences so that one week he looks
like a sure bet for reelection; the
next week, not = chance.
I had a shattering experience IN
connection with MIR. Truman's de-
eision not to run in 1852. From the
time Of the 1913 election on. he
was being urged constantly by his
party to make another race in
1852. In press conferences, he side
stepped the question.
We were in Key West. Fla, with
MIR. Truman in November. 1851.
Another reporter and ] asked a
certain White House insider to
dinner.
During the course Of the meal, |
asked him. what is the boss going
to do next year? | don't see that he
has an out. He's got to run"
The Tsush
OuR insider leaned back with a
smile. "You wouldn't believe the
truth if you heard it. he said.
What IS the truth7"
II Is a. obvious as the nose on
your face. He won't run again.
After all. MIR. Truman has served
his country and served it well for
q great many years" "
My colleague and | laughed.
Our friend was q delightful soul.
but his White House field Of opera
tions was. after an. limited to his
own special field. What would
he know about Mr.. Truman's
political plans? We wrote nothing
about it.

IKE WON'T RUN AGAIN

The following April when MIR.
Truman electrified a jefferson
Jackson Day Dinner audience by
announcing his firm plans toretire,
we learned only then that on the

them he would not accept re-

As our friend said so accurately.
"you wouldn't believe the truth if

AAasns ". 4hamley
As or the present. Ike has not
taken his staff into his confidence,
probably because he has made no
decision, himself.
Sherman Adams. former COVER
nor Of New Hampshire and the
Assistant to the President, says he
does not believe his boss win be
available for reelection. Adams
has said this publicly and repeat
edly. With equal conviction. Rer-
nard NJ. Stanley. special counsel
to the President, has said he be-
lieves the chief executive win run
again to insure the continuation Of
his program.
The President has described

talk by members Of his staff NJ
s-nsind reading. 2
A number Of political seers and
pundits say Ike must run again.
They argue that particularly in
view Of the Republican losses IN
Congress last November, MIR.
Eisenhower represents the only
chance Of the COP to retain the
national administration and regain
control Of Congress in the 1856
elections.
II the November. 1854. ballot
ing caused any change IN Ike's
attitude toward q reelection race,
ii was not immediately noticeable.
Only one thing seemed definite: he
was frankly happy that the cam
paign was over. After his speech
