Warren Says He Will Not Be A
 Candidate In '56

WASHINGTON, R,-Chief Jus tice Earl Warren today issued a statement saying he will not be a candidate for President of the United States and that II will not change this decision under any circumstances or conditions. !"
 The Supreme Court chief issued his statement following publica- ton of a poll last Wednesday which indicated that he was first choice for the Republican nomin- ation in 1856 if President Eisen- hover decided not to run for a second time.
 Warren is a former Republican governor of California He ran for vice president in 1948 on the Re- publican ticket with Thomas E. Dewey, then governor of New York.
 The text of Warren's statement:
 My name has been used as a possible candidate for the presi- dency.
 This has been a matter of em- barrassment to me because it re- fleets upon the performance of my duties as Chief Justice of the United States.
 When accepted that position, it was with the fixed purpose of leaving politics permanently for service on the court. That is still my purpose. It is irrevocable. will not change it under any cir cumstances or conditions.
 Be they many or few, the re- maining useful years of my life are dedicate to the service of the Supreme Court of the United States, in which work I am in creasingly happy"
 The Gallup poll published last Wednesday said 25 per cent of Republicans and 31 per cent of independent voters covered by the survey favored Warren for the nomination if President Eisen- hover should decide not to run again.

Demos Told There Is Definite Trend To Their Party

WASHINGTON, R-Democrats assembled for a two day rally heard from national chairman Paul M. Butler today that pros poets for a Democratic victory in 1856 "are bright regardless of who is heading the Republican ticket"
 In report prepared for meet ing of the party's national com mittee, Butler said Democratic hopes are high despite what he called "efforts of the high priced Republican propaganda experts to persuade the press and public" that President Eisenhower is un- beatable.
 Butler said there is a definite Democratic trend running right now," and added the Republican administration is setting the same old pattern-service to the few-which has brought the Re publican party to so many nation al defeats in the past few years. Y
 You do not have to look far to see that the issues which brought defeat to Thomas E. Dewey and victory to Harry s. Truman in 1948 are going to be very much in the public eye dur ing the 1856 campaign" he said.

Democrat Leader
 Backs Ike's Policy On Quemoy, Matsu

AUGUSTA, Ga, tR - Backing President Eisenhower, Senator George D-Ga) said last night the cause of peace would not be ad- vanced by any public announce ment of whether the US. would defend Quemoy and Matsu.
 And George, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee suggested the issue of whether those Chinese Nationalist offshore islands should be defend ed has become a football of politics"
 The Democratic congressional leaders stand amounted to indir- ect criticism of such Republican Senators as Knowland of Califor- mia and Bridges of New Hamp- shire. Both COP leaders have called for a declaration of the administrations intentions re- garding Quemoy and Matsu.
 George said he knows quite well what Eisenhower will do if and when he is faced with a decision whether to defend the off-shore islands.
 He will do what good men always do," George declared, his voice breaking with emotion. 'He will go into his closet and, face to face with his God, make his decision.
 And I for one don't want to force his hand in making that decision"
 The President has given no hint of his plans, but he does have the authorization of Congress to defend related areas" in any general defense of Formosa against any assault by Red China.
