Fully Capable,
Ike Will Seek
COP Nomination

In message to an audience es-
timated at 100 million u. S. Citi-
Zens Wednesday evening. Presi-
dent Eisenhower announced that
he would seek the nomination for
a second term of the most respon-
sible job in the world.
Speaking from his White House
office at 10 p m, the President
said that he had come to his deci-
sion after careful and prayerfuI"
consideration of all factors in the
matter. Included in these factors
was the advice of his physicians
that he was able to do the lob
and that he himself felt capable
because he had been doing the Job
for the past few weeks. The Pres
:dent assured mis- listeners that if
he was not sure of his ability, he
would not seek the office.
President Eisenhower said that
some of his duties of the more rou-
tine nature would be delegated but
that the office was such that he
himself would and could continue
10 lead the nation much as he had
in the past four years.
He announced that the rigors Of
a transforming campaign for the
office was one of the chores he
would forego if nominated iii the
coming election; that he would
speak to the people using mass
media and that the people must
decide on the record of his past
term.
General reaction, as sampled by
on-the-spot television, was favor
able to the Presidents decision.
Most people felt. however. that the
Presidents health would be an is
sue in the coming campaign.
News hawks at a press conrer-
ence held earlier in the dav in
Washington noted that Vice Pr-esi-
dent Nixon's name was not men
toned by the President as a run
ning-mate. At the conference. the
President had said that he did not
feel the vice president should be
discussed until the nomination was
won.

Throughout the new design

"after-f1ve fashions" Never
has the printed dress been
prettier.
In short lengths for after
noon or evening the prints
fascinate the eye with their
design and color. But in full
length evening dresses they
are the talk of the fashion
continent.
Designer Maurice Rentner
on a recent trip abroad noted
that the Duchess of Windsor

(Grace was even pictured
