fully scanned for any indication
Iof what the chief executive is
himself thinking about his polit-
|ical future. Particularly this
paragraph: "You have a splendid
record to submit to the voters In
1855. I personally am proud Of
the Republican achievements for
the peace and the prosperity and
the security Of the American peo-
pie. I shall do everything in my
power next year to help you re-
port accurately and fully to the
country"
While the President said he
would help In the campaign. he
gave no hint he would head it
as the presidential candidate. To
some, it meant he would even
tually decline to run.
But to others, it did not close
the door at all. They pointed
out, he could make no decision
to run until after he had o clean
bill of health from his physi.
clans. perhaps next January.
The national committee, after
listening to three Cabinet ON
GERS and Representative Kath-
arine st. George of New York
and reports Of its own efiicials,
performed the task for which 1t
was brought to Chicago: It is
sued the formal cali for the 1856
Republican National Convention,
to open August 20 in San Fran
cisco. There was no debate, and
the call was not read, the chair
remarking that it would take IS
minutes to read 1t all.
The call carries with 1t the ap-
portionment Of delegates for the
convention among the States,

the Territories and the District
of Columbia. The total number
|of delegates is fixed at i ,323-
iii more than sat in the 1852
convention. It viii take 662
votes. a majority Of the dele
gates, to nominate the presiden-
tial and vice presidential candi-
dates.
The large increase in number
of delegates Is due to the fact
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-12-02

that Mr.. Eisenhower carried four
States Of the South In 1852 and
ran strongly in all the rest.
Nearly all the increases are for
the Southern States and that
section will have more to say
about the presidential nomina-
Ition than 1t has had in years.
Rhode Island and Oklahoma
also made gains in delegate
strength.

Weis added that If the President
declines Il could easily be for
Dick Nixon"
There were reports here that
the So-called Dewey following in
New York and in the country,
may swing to Nixon in the event
the President Is out of the pic
ture. New York with its s6-
member delegation In the ma
tional convention is always o
potent factor. :
Could Easily Be Shifted
If Mr.. Eisenhower refused to
seek another term. this campaign
could easily be moved over to
the Nixon corner. AS one Of Mr..
Nixon's admirers said, however,
there are two things that may
weigh against his obtaining the
presidential nomination:
What happens In CALIFORNIA;
presidential primary next June
S, with Gov. knight determined
to block a Nixon nomination.
The often repeated statement
that Mr.. Nixon cannot win, that
too many people do not like him.
Many Of the Republican lead
ers hope that President Eisen-
hover. If he bows out, viii ex-
press a preference for O success
scr, either openly or through the
use of his personal influence.
Should Mr.. Nixon be his choice,
it would 60 far toward winning
Nixon's fight in California and
later in the national convention.
One thing Chairman Hall and
the Eisenhower followers have
effectually done. They have
blocked any out-and-out candi-
dacy for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination until and
when the President has had full
opportunity 70 weigh all the
and to make up his
mind what to do. Chairman Hall
has given a strong impression
that the Presidents decision may
not come until late In February
Or the first part Of March.
No Need to Hurry
Mr.. Hall has insisted that
there is no need for the President
10 hurry this decision. It is gen.
orally believed that the States
which hold early presidential pri-
maries, like New Hampshire and
Minnesota. will elect states Of
delegates favorable to Mr.. EiSen-
hower-and that no other can
didate is likely to enter those
primaries against Eisenhower
states Of delegates.

gram yesterday to the Republican
National Committee was care.

Their probable choice for the
presidential nomination. should
President Eisenhower decline tt
stand for reelection, is Vice
President Nixon. They have
about given up hope that Chief
Justice Earl Warren can be per-
Suaded to enter the presidential
race.
Cool to Knowland
They do not care for Senator
Knowland of California, the
present Republican leader Of the
Senate. They insist that the
candidate must be a 100 per cent
Eisenhower man.
In looking over the field OF
other potential candidates, they

Mr.. Nelson said, in reply to

ANPAAsks Court
To Reverse. Fec in
California N Case
By ihs A..oeiatsd Prs,

The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association today accused
the Federal Communications
Commission of unlawful discrim-
ination against newspapers in
awarding a California broadcast
license.
The association, with a mem
bership, of about TOO daily and
Sunday newspapers, asked the
U. S. Court of Appeals to strike
down a commission decision
denying McClatchy Broadcasting
Co. a license for a television sta
ton in Sacramento. Calf.
The association said that in
granting a competing application
by Sacramento Telecasters, Inc,
the commission demonstrated it
has differentiated newspapers
and persons associated herewith
as a class"
In a brief filed as friend of
the court" the association said
this action violated the Com
munications Act and was repug-
nant to the constitutional guar
antee of due process of law.
The brief said the decision
must be reversed unless this
court holds that the commission
is authorized to apply its prefer
ence policy for purposes of it's
own caprice"
: In denying the McClatchy ap-
plication, the brief oontended,
the commission attached over
riding Importance to it's doctrine"
that radio-TV stations should be
controlled by diverse interests.
But it declared that the chief
stated reason for the policy,
namely monopoly or the threat
of monopoly. is not present.
"The commissions decision
flowed from it's policy of pre-
ferring a non-newspaper appli-
cant to a newspaper applicant"
the associations brief said.
The brief, filed by Attorney
Elisha Hanson, said the record
in the case demonstrates be-
yond question that on every
statutory aspect, McClatchy is
superior to the party to which
the commission made its grant"

MANILA

/
mrs. U. B. r., Washington
For Mrs. w. K. D., Arlington:
Manila is a wonderful place for
children. The water Is safe.
health facilities are good. and in
fact, Manila is very much like
the States except that you have
summer all year long. You can
get fresh vegetables and fruits
in the markets, or have them
directly shipped and delivered
to your house by q farmer In
Batuio where vegetables are
grown. The children learn to
swim from babyhood, so take
along plenty of bathing suits
and shoes. II you have COM
| missary and PIX privileges. you
don't even have to worry about
| that.
Housing ranges anywhere
! from Quonset huts to very lux
urious apartments and ranch
houses. There Is Government
housing (mostly apartments and
some quonsets) which is less ex-
pensive. If you are not eligible
for Government housing, rents
run about $50 to 500 pesos a
month. The exchange rate is 2
pesos to the dollar. Living in
Manila is not cheap and there
is much entertaining, all Of it
rather dressy.
The American School in Ma
Mia is private school where
one pays tuition. There are also
Philippine schools which are less
expensive. II you mind the heat
it might be well to take along
an air conditioner for the bed
room. and most people take re-
frigeratorS and stoves. However,
some of the Government agen-
cies have these appliances there
for loan to their personnel.
On the whole, I think you will
like Manila. 1t is a very friendly
and hospitable place. The peo-
pie are pleasant; life Is not too
hectic and living conditions are
not too different from here at
home.
RECIPE CORRECTED
MRS. J. r. G., Clinton :.
The recipe for vanilla ice
cream sent in by Mrs. J. r. G..
Clinton, should read "cook this
mixture, stirring constantly"
Also, If you use lemon extract, 1t
should be 2 teaspoons. not 2
tablespoons.
