Text of Eisenhower's
Letter to Senator Georoe

FOLLOWING is the tert of Pres
ident EiSenho1Uer'S letter to
Senator George today:
Dear Walter:
I know that your present term
in the Senate expires this year.
In view of that fact should like
to say two things to you:
It has been my great hope that
you would continue on in the
Senate where you have been able
to make so great contribution
to peace through helping to de-
velop and sustain a non-partisan
foreign policy. Your contribu-
ton in that respect has been in
calculable and l believe it was
the overwhelming desire of the
American people that you would
have found yourself able to con-
tinue in the Senate.
lean. however, realize that you
may desire to concentrate more
exclusively on the great problems
of war and peace which confront
our Nation, free of the other re-
sponsibilities which inevitably go
with the SenatorShip. If that
is your preference I earnestly
hope that you will be willing to
act for this Nation with refer
ence to the development of the
North Atlantic Community so
that it will in greater unity and
greater effectiveness serve the
cause of international peace and
the preservation of those ideals
Of human liberty and freedom
which are SO deeply rooted in the
community.
"As you know, at the latest
meeting of the North Atlantic
Treaty Council, it was decided to

Campaign Hampered
Reports from Georgia in re-
cent months have indicated that
the veteran Senator would face
a stiff battle this year against
the younger Talmadge. Mr..

Senator has been kept here on
pressing legislative problems.
Many of the same people have
in the past supported both SEN

they would have had to make
choice.
Senator George is not only the
Senate's dean in length of service
but one of its most highly re-
Ispected and influential members.
He is still its outstanding orator,
despite his years, and his COL
leagues listen when he speaks.
For many years he directed
Democratic policy on taxation
as chairman of the Finance
Committee, and is still on that
committee.
Key Aide to Eisenhower

There appeared to be little
doubt that the statement, when
it finally comes, will announce
Mr.. Talmadge's determination
to seek the Democratic nominal
ton for Mr.. Georges seat. Most
political observers doubt that
the former Governor will have
any opposition in the primary,
unless it is of a token sort.
