Referring to the Presidents
heart attack of five months ago.
Mr.. Stevenson continued:
Mr.. Eisenhower has drawn the
distinction between the private
matter of his personal health
and the public question of how
the Office of President shall be
conducted.
It assume he will deal with this
aspect of his decision in his re-
port to the people, and set the
terms of the debate on this
issue"

II am glad President Eisen-
hover feels his health will per-
NIT him to make a campaign

The competition for high set

and here were golden opportuni-
ties for two bowlers to top the
existing high-448.
But in the second games they
were joined by two others. Clay
Morgan popped a 179 to go with
an opening 1873 and Eddie Owens
came up with a 154 behind a
159.
Then. suddenly, woe, Dutch
Owens finished with los and LOT
for S87. Eddie Owens shot 106
in the final for 419. Morgan
finished with 127 for 439 and
Gordon faded in the stretch and

AT ULINE's TOMORROW MIGHT
Louis Doesn't Seem Happy
Over Debut as Wrestler

some of the athletes involved,
and Louis repeatedly has been
offered as much as 100000 for
year on the mat circuit. A
kind of wistful look comes in
his eyes when such sums are
mentioned. He's received more
than that for one fight, but not
lately. and right now he's in
Ivolved in a discussion with the
Government about back income
taxes, with no end in sight.
Doesn't Like Lee
Apparently, Louis doesn't like
Cowboy Lee. his opponent to-
morrow night, any too much.
Too, he apparently isn't sold on
the idea he can be a wrestler.
1t all started in wrestling
match Louis was refereeing
when Lee. who is not the fair
haired hero type of wrestler, l
knocked Louis down. 1t hurt
Joe's ego. If nothing else.
Il don't think that guy knows
anything more about wrestling
than I 90" Louis said. IF he
wants to get rough-well, two
can play it that way. Maybe r
can get rough too. If he wants
to start smuggling. maybe I'll like
it BETTER
1t may be that Louis transit
ton from boxer to wrestler sort
of snuck up on him. A week or
two ago when Fabiani first
talked him into the idea, Louis
seemed to have the impression
it was to be boxing wrestling
match, with him boxing and
Cowboy Lee wrestling. He gave
out an interview to that effect
to a New York sports writer, but
when that story was printed,
Fabian quickly got in touch with
the ex-heavyweight champion
and, convinced him otherwise.
Louis apparently hasn't
sriled since. but he's in Wash
ington and he's going to give it
a try tomorrow night, for one
shot anyway.
