Senator Mundt. Republican. of
South Dakota. voiced belief to-
day that President Eisenhower
far from being tired of his
job, as contended by some DEM
ocrats-is enjoying his work so
much he will run again.
Senator Mundt said in an in
terview that Democratic Chair
man Paul M. Butler was doing
some "wishful thinking" in say
ing yesterday that Mr.. Eisen-
hover finds his Office burden
some and is counting "the days
and months until he will be lib
Grated"
Its just human nature that
anybody likes a job he can do
well," Senator Mundt said. 1T
is my belief that the President
is enjoying seeing his successful
administration develop and that
he will want to develop it fur
ther in the next five years"
Mr.. Butler said he thinks that
next year the people will be look
ing around for a man as Presi-
dent who wants to serve and
who will accept the challenge of
the Presidency"
Stevenson Must Speak Up
Although he predicted the
Democrats will come up with
such a man. the national chair
man said he hasn't any choice
for the nominee. Mr.. Butler,
named chairman by forces
friendly to Adlai E. Stevenson.
added:
st think, however. that any
Democrat who wants the nomi-
nation will have to say so this
year" He said this observation
wasn't aimed at Mr.. Stevenson,
the 1852 nominee. who hasn't
said whether he will try again.
Senator Monroney, Democrat
Of Oklahoma. who is all in favor
of renominating Mr.. Stevenson,
aSid he agrees that If the for
mer Illinois Governor wants to
head the ticket he will have to
make his intentions clear before
1855 ends.
Mr.. Stevenson is expected to
return about mid-May from a
business trip to Africa.
Certainly there was no over
whelming demand for a second
try by Mr.. Stevenson from
Democratic Governors and party
officials who have been looking
over 1856 prospects the last two
days. In fact there was an in
dication here and there that
some men of power In the party
may be somewhat less than
enthusiastic about Mr.. Steven
son. particularly if he is q "re-

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. ~ Up,

may be filed shortly by seamen
once barred from work by the

The suits would spring from
yesterdays decision by the 9th
U. s. Circuit Court Of Appeals
which ruled the Coast Guard
screening system 'unconstitu-
tional.
Richard Gladstein. attorney
for the seamen. said he would
file motions for back wages lost
by oil those barred under the
system. He estimated the NUM-
Der as "at least 500' in this area
and said the suits would total
several hundred thousand
dollars.
There was no comment from
the Coast Guard.

The case was brought by six

the Magnuson Act Of 1850. The
decision did not hold the Mag

Senator George said that
while few would disagree with

lin fundamental human rights,
difficulties have arisen over the
extent to which the q. N. might
encourage the promotion oi
these principles within member
nations.
Indeed" he said, ''in q coun-
try such as our own, whose con-
lstitution embodies concepts OF
individual freedom which 60 far
beyond those that exist in many
countries Of the world, the very
Suggestion that there Is an In
ternal obligation to promote hui
man rights arouses certain fears
For II human rights are in
alienable rights Of people as we
believe, then responsibilities as
stunned by international organi-
cations must be clearly defined
to avoid any implication Of in
ternational authority to impair
those rights"
Not Ratified by U. S.
The staff report noted that
the United States has not rati-
fed any Of the human rights
conventions drafted by the
u. N. But 1t added this Is not
because II does not sympathize
with the aspirations Of the
peoples to have and assert many
Of these rights
The United States has held
back, 1t said. largely because
such treaties might have an
effect on internal constitutional
relationships. because Of q con-
Germ lest they could limit rights
now exercised by the American
people. or because the conven-
tions are viewed as unneces-
Isary."
The report also said recent

Gated that while the United

servance Of human rights
