u. S. Prisons
Hold 2O,15O

The Federal prison popula-
ton today was put at 20,l50, the
highest in history.
James V. Bennett, director of
the Bureau of Prisons, said in
a year-end report to Attorney
General Brownell that the in
crease of $50 during 1855 was
less than had been forecast
largely because of reduced COM
mitments for car theft, en-
bezzlement and Juvenile Of
lenses.
The major penitentiaries. par
ticularly at Atlanta, Lewisburg
Leavenworth and Mcneil Island,
Washington. continue to be
overcrowded. But a new 600
man institution at Terminal Is
land, California and a prison
camp near Anchorage, Alaska,
have somewhat relieved the
overpopulation on the West
Coast" the report said.
Mr.. Bennett reported that
several unusually significant"
research projects are being con-
Quoted by the Public Health
Service in Federal prisons. One
such project has produced an
effective vaccine which pro-
vldes protection against one
group of common cold viruses. I"
Researchers, he said, were
working on an improved polio
vaccine which may be given
orally, while others are con-
cerned with the effects of in

the Government would save be-

lion a year if the 100000 typists
in Government could be properly
trained on the P-Y-F keyboard.
The trouble with this is that
while the Government has $780,
900 typewriters, Civil Service

the typewriter as an adjunct to

For example, in the newsroom

about rs typewriters, all used by
people not rated as typists. The

Sc Plan Yelled
On Eisenhower
Whether He'll Run
Is Still UndiscIosed
BY GARNETT d. HORNEF
Star stan Correspondent

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 2.--
President Eisenhower's inten-
tons about running again ir
1856, now that 1856 is here. are
just as much an unknown guam
tity as they were in 1855.
The Presidents press secre-
tary, James C. Hagerty. made II
clear to newsmen yesterday that
there is no point in trying to find
out now what Mr.. Eisenhower
thinks about a second term.
A reporter asked Mr.. Hagerty;
Since this is the first day OF
the new year, Jim. has the Presi-
dent indicated to you in any way
his intentions for 1852"
Mr.. Hagerty laughed and said
II am not even going to answer
that"
Medical Checkup Due
Mr.. Eisenhower's vacation in
this southernmost city of the
United States may have some
bearing on his decision. His doc
tors wanted him to come here
to relax and exercise in warm
sunshine to get in the best pos
sible shape before he resumes his
full White House work load next

A medical checkup in mid
February to see how his heart is
standing the strain is expected
to provide the basis for medical
advice to the Presid ent on
whether he is physically able to
run again. He is understood to
be withholding any decision until
he gets that advice.
Doing a minimum amount OF
work here, Mr.. Eisenhower hoped
to complete work today or to-
morrow on the state-of-the-
Union message, in which he will
outline his 1856 legislative pro-
gram to Congress Thursday. The

I This turn has caused some
head-scratching by politicians
who prefer to get along with
both labor and the farmer, par
ticularly In an election year.
Their dilemma is not eased by
the fact that the squeeze on
the farmer is liable to get worse
in the next few months. Steel
prices are going up, a rail rate
increase Is in the ofing, and
new wage demands from STEEL
workers are in prospect for mid
year.

and the World Bank would give
Egypt a long-term loan for a
similar amount.
Bank Sets Conditions
The World Bank has not yet
formally pledged such a loan but
has made clear that the Egyp-
tians viii get the money once
they make a start.
But the bank has tentatively
attached certain conditions. One
is that some controls and watch
dog procedures should be per-
mitted the bank in the manage
ment Of Egypt's economy. The
banks position is that it wants
to be sure that economic prac-
tees which it considers unsound
win not jeopardize its loan.
Col. Nasser Is reported to have
told Mr.. Byroade bluntly ne con-
siders that an unnecessary intru-
sion into Egypt's affairs and in
some respects a demand infring-
ing on Egypt's sovereignty. He
made it clear he would not have
anything to do with the loan
unless the banks requirements
were substantially modified.
The Egyptian government has
objected also to a requirement
that contracts for work on the
dam be let on the basis of COM
petitive bidding. The Egyptians
contend this would unduiy delay
the start of work. They are
pressing for an agreement to
start work with negotiated con-
tracts.
World Bank rules are said to
require competitive bidding in
such cases but officials believe
the difficulties on this point can
be negotiated.

With IA hours of the 78-hour
three-day New Years holiday
remaining, Associated Press fig
ures showed 27l traffic fatalities.
For a comparable period during
the Christmas holiday the figure
was 46l.
Fires during the New Years
holiday claimed at least 81 lives,
with deaths from miscellaneous

ling the 407 toll in the four-day

The council credited stricter
law enforcement on the Nations
highways for the lessened death
rates. Most States, sobered by
the BLACK Christmas" death

officer to highway patrol, while
four States called on the Ma
tional Guard for help.
