IKE EXPECTED TO RUN AGAIN

President Eisenhower is now set to run in 1856 according to high Republicans Recent announcements about the President wanting unless it is his duty etc. sound curiouSy like the statements of 1852 about the same sense of duty
 They also remind of the famous Roosevelt re- luctance and even of the make-ne' campaign of Adla Stevenson in 1852 At least some top Republicans figure that the President has already made up his mind that he will have to again he is to do much to build a stronger and more progressive Republican party
 The Dewey elements in the COP has been telling the President he will need all of eight years to mold a new face for the Republican party which is - in this opinion - too conservative in many sections to win without nationally-popular leader, like Ike.
 The President generally follows the advice of this element in his party and is not expected to turn his back on the job of developing party platform and party membership that reflects progressive oroach

New Warning
 Signal System of Enemy Air Attack

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, R-A new warning signal system of en- emy air attack-which drops the general all-clear signal because of radioactive fallout danger-has been worked out by civil defense.
 The United States and Canada have adopted the system together.
 New, simphfed signals are to be sounded on sirens, horns and other warning devices. There are two signals: one is the Alert" and the other the Take Cover"
 The All Clear" in effect since 1851, has been eliminated in view of radioactive fallout
 US. civil defense headquarters here said it could be unwise to give a general all-clear since some areas could still be in danger be- cause of fallout.
 A spokesman said individual areas would handle their own all clear communication to citizens through radio or other means, in cluding patrol groups.

Special Bidding Edge Proposed for Firms Hurt By Trade Agreements

WASHINGTON, LR-S o r Humphrey ID Minn) proposed Tuesday that firms harmed by foreign imports under reciprocal trade agreements be given special advantages in bidding on govern ment contracts.
 The Minnesotan said new bill should bolster Senate support for extension of the reciprocal trade program, as recommended by President Eisenhower.
 ''The bill would take the costs of liberalized trade policy off the shoulders of a few isolated industries and spread that cost over the entire nation as it should be-" Humphrey declared.
 He said his bill would provide "any domestic producer found by the Tariff Commission to be in danger by foreign imports may receive a certificate entitling to to a percentage advantage-up to 25 percent-in its bid for govern ment contracts"
 ''The certificate would be good only for a limited period, while the company energetically sought to develop new products which could withstand competition"

Anii-Faseisi Refugee
Committee Disbandinq
BY the Asseeiossd Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-The
Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Com
mittee. under fire as an alleged
Communist front. said yesterday
it is disbanding.
The groups Executive Board
said it voted to dissolve because
Government "harassments, per-
secutions and prosecutions" made
it impossible to carry on the
good and necessary work that we
have carried on since our incep-
tion."
The committee was organized
in 1912 to help loyalist refugees
of the Spanish civil war. It
later was listed as subversive by
the Attorney General and ac-
cused of being a Red front by
congressional investigators.
The committee denied the al
legations and carried an appeal
to the courts. It has been the
subject Of action by the House

tee. the Treasury Department
and the Subversive Activities

and that they are trying to
'embarrass the President for
political purposes. The fear
was expressed during the last
campaign that, If the Demo-
Gratis won control. they would
take advantage of their posi-
ton to play politics with for
eign policy. Many of them.
like Senator George. chairman
of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, are cooper
ating with the administration,
but the needing tactics of a
"left-wing" group of Democrats
is a sample of what q divided
government can mean in a
crisis.
II the object is to save Amer
ican lives--and that's the
highest purpose for either po-
litical party to serve--then
such an objective can better
be realized by keeping as much
military information as pos
sible away from the potential
enemy.
Basically the United States
is not concerned with any fac
ton in China as such--either
the Reds or the Nationalist
but is concerned over the
fact that the Chinese Commu-
nists are in state of war. with
the United Nations, and If they
take FormoSa they can turn
their entire armed force
against American troops sta
toned In Korea.
It's important, therefore, to
keep as much of the Commu-
mist Chinese armies as possible
pinned down on the mainland
opposite Formosa and to keep
them guessing as to what will
happen if they attack Quemoy
and the Matsu Islands. But
there are some Senators who
don't believe in this strategy
and. in effect. want to inter-
fere in military operations.
This is a peculiar way to act
in the midst OF a military crisis
involving decisions by a man
in the White House with Mr..
Eisenhower's military expe-
rience.

Doyid LoNnence
Eisenhowers Critics Attacked
Left-Wino Senators Are Accused Of Making Conduct
Of Military Strategy in Eost Increasingly Difficult
Dovid Lowrence

Conducting the immediate
military strategy Of the United
States In the Far East is in
creasingly difficult for Pres
ident Eisenhower because Of
the needing tactics being
adopted by certain ''left-wing"
Senators.
Despite the overwhelming
vote in the Senate and House
two weeks ago which plainly
reflected the wish of the coun-
try that the handling of such
a delicate question as the de-
Tense of islands of the shores
of China be left entirely to the
discretion Of Mr.. Eisenhower.
some of the Senators who
fought the Formosa resolution
are keeping up their guerrilla
fight in the press.
The President and his mill
tary advisers are anxious not
to give the Communist high
command details Of American
military planning in the Far
East. But, If some Of the
Senators have their way. mill
tary information will be trans
mitted to the Communists
through the press indicating
exactly what the United States
armed forces will or will not
do in the Far East.
Nothing could make the sit
uation more dangerous than
to let the Communists believe
that Mr.. Eisenhower is being
effectively checkmated' by a
group of Senators and that
eventually he will acquiesce in
the capture by the Reds of the
offshore islands through a
failure to assist in their de-
Tense.
What the President has been
trying to do is to stabilize the
Formosa situation SO that q
cease-fire could be seriously
considered. But the surest way
to start war in the Far East
is to let the Communists be-
lieve they can grab the Off
shore islands without any re-
sistance. Such a miscalcula-
tion can only result in a Wig
orous defense by the Nation
alists and then, if the Commits
nists start using air power to

here who saw whom and what
was said.
The net of these stories has
been to stress the Presidents
peaceful intentions. The United
States, it is emphasized, is
committed only to Formosa
and the Pescadores, with all
decisions about others being
firmly in the Presidents hands.
It is explained that 1t is use
full to keep the Communists
guessing.
In the first days following
the Presidents resolution on
Formosa, it was said repeatedly
that the object Of including
the phrase closely related
Notwithstanding Quemoy
and Matsu-was to secure
bargaining points for a cease
fire. Now the cease-fire is a
dead duck.
The new line on that is the
Chinese Nationalist morale
would suffer grievously if they,
were robbed of hope by being
penned into Formosa and the
Pescadores.
These inspired stories have
not silenced the critics. Some
argue that to leave the Com
munists in any doubt Of United
States intentions increases the
risk of war. Senator Morse
hammers home the fact that
under international law the
United States has no legal
rights respecting Quemoy and
Matsu. 1t possesses such rights
with respect to Formosa and
the Pescadores and they are
recognized by our allies, II not
by the Reds.
Secretary Dulles will make
a major foreign policy speech
tonight. He may lift the debate
onto different plane. since
he is under pressure from ar
ticulate Senators. But the
administration--again accord
ing to the inspired stories
feels the Chinese Reds would
prefer to avoid war, SO MFR.

1000 Slave Camps
In Red China, U. 5.
Reports 10 u. n.
BY the Asseeioisd Pres,

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Feb. 16.-Tfie United States told
the United Nations yesterday
that Red China has at least g.
600 slave labor camps.
This information was in a spe-
cial report submitted by Chief
United States Delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge. jr., In response to
/ a General Assembly resolution
asking U. N. members for all
available evidence of slave labor.
The report did not say how
many persons were confined in
the Chinese camps, but one
United States delegation source
said the number was consider
ably above the 8 million esti-
mated by Nationalist China two
years ago.
The evidence presented by the
United States included excerpts
from Communist laws. state
ments from escapes and re-
ports in Communist newspapers.
One escapee from Yingtak
camp, in Kwangtung, for in
stance, was quoted as saying
that was the second largest
camp in Kwangtung and that 1t
contained 10000 prisoners.
Another special report dealt
with Communist Albania.
This said that during the last
10 years some 40 political prisons
and concentration camps have
been in operation In Albania at
one time or another and that
some $4,000 persons passed
through them.

Doris FIeeson-

The Eisenhower administra-
ton has been holding deliber-
ately to a policy of confusing
the Communists about what
We shall defend in addition to
Formosa and the Pescadores.
The result has been to
create q "no mans land" in
the China situation.
In Washington it has been
identified as Quemoy and
Matsu. Islands about 20 miles
from the mainland Of China.
They are now occupied by the
Nationalist Chinese legacy
from the unleash Chang"
phase of the Eisenhower
Dulles diplomacy.
Red China naturally claims
both with increasing belliger-
ency. In Formosa. Chang has
suggested the list be added to.
But the voices which count
are those of President Eisen-
hover and Secretary of State
Dulles. Up to now they have
not been willing in their own
names to put before the Amer
lean people the possibility that
islands so close to the Red
China mainland will be de-
Tended with all 1t might mean
In the way of war.
What they have done in
stead Is to utilize the time
honored method of leaks from
responsible sources to explain
what they have In mind. In the
past few weeks, Vice President
Nixon, Assistant Secretary of
State Robertson and Admiral
Arthur Radford, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of staff, have
taken small private groups into
their confidence with results
that later appeared in the
headlines.
Washington knows very well
from long experience and close
attention to the news as it un-
folds from day to day Just how
to trace the sources of such
stories. It is never a secret
