Nicely Willing to Explore
Private I ronsit Possibility

Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committee said today
The was willing to explore the
possibilities of continuing tran
sit here in private ownership as
suggested in a letter from for
imer Senator Willard Tydings Of
Maryland.
AS the District Commissioners
waited for the Federal Budget
Bureau to clear their public
transit authority plan for sub
mission to Congress, Mr.. Tydings
had submitted his previously un-
successful plea to take over the
dying Capital Transit Co. fran
Ichise.
Senator Nicely said, however,
that "if this letter from Mr..
Tydings means that committee
members are asked to try to
persuade the transit union to
accept f1ve-year contract, then
! am not going to get into that. !"
Revision Of Rejected Plan
Mr.. Tydings last night released
to the press copies Of identical
letters to the chairmen Of the
House and Senate District Com
mittees dated Tuesday. The let
tiers set forth Q slightly re-
vised version OF a plan turned
down some time ago by the tran
sit workers union and city off,
cials.
Chairman Nicely said he had
not had time to study the letter.

Twining Set to Ask
81 to 81 Billion More
BY JOHN A. GILES

The Air Force Is ready to re-
quest 81 to 50 billion more for
planes and base construction
than President Eisenhower rec
commended in his 1857 balanced
budget, The Star learned today.
An informed source said Gen.
Nathan F. Twining was pre-
pared to tell Congress an in
crease of one-fourth to one-third
is needed in aircraft procurement
funds to avert a delay in mod
ernizing the Nations air fleet
The Air Force Chief Of STAFF
and others also were reported
ready to, recommend that public
works funds should be increased
by about so per cent because the
base construction program Is not
keeping pace with the Air Force
|buildup to 1877 wings.
Balanced Budget Threat
The requests could play havoc
with the precariously balanced
budget Mr.. Eisenhower sent to
Congress last Monday.
Close associates said Gen
Twining will outline the All
Force requests for additional
money only when he is asked
about the matter on Capitol
Hill. They denied he would issue
himself any attack on Mr.. Ell
senhower's spending plans al
has been reported in aircraft in
dustry circles.
The budget, on which Defense
Secretary Wilson will begin tes-
timony before the House Appro-
Ipriations Committee on Monday,
Iearmarks about $50 billion for
purchase of planes and Sill bill
lion for construction.
Aircraft funds would provide
l 1871 modern jet fighters and
bombers over a l0-month period
for first line units. On a twelve
months basis a total Of 1880
would be provided.
Defense estimates are that
more than 2,700 planes would
be the minimum required to
complete modernization of first
line units on schedule.
$500 Planes Estimated
A top defense budget officfal
told reporters in September,
1854, that from $500 to $500
planes would be needed overall
by the Air Force annually. Ac-
QUESTION Of 1891 planes next
year would mean that In
1960-61 a larger number of first
line air wings would be equipped
with F-84 fighter bombers and
F-86 interceptors than has been
planned.
Plans have called for the sub
stitution Of the supersonic Gen.
fury series Of fighters and fieht-
.er bombers and the transfer of
the F-84s and F-88s to the Air
National Guard and reserve units
|at an earlier date than now will
be possible II the Presidents new
program Is carried out.

and Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat of Minnesota, that the
White House renounce Mr..
Dulles so-called brink Of war;
theories as detailed in Life
magazine interview last week.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he had
complete faith in Mr.. Dulles. He
said he did not know whether
there were some unfortunate ex-
pressions in the magazine article
by Mr.. Dulles or by the writer
but that he did know Mr.. Dulles
is q man dedicated to peace-a
man Of great skill in his field
and the best Secretary Of State
he has ever known.

Eisenhower Wont Object
To Entering Primary Races
But Stresses
He Has Made
No Decision
BY GARRETT d. HORNER

President Eisenhower said to-
day he will not object to the en-
try of his name in any Repub-
lcan presidential primaries, but
that this does not mean he has
made up his mind to run again.
Keeping the country guessing
about his own second-term in
tentions. the President. in effect.
invited Senator Knowland, Re-
publican Of California, and other
Republican aSpirants to enter
the primaries. too.
He told news conference
that attracted a near record at y
tendance that he would an.
nounce whether he will run
again just as soon as the de-
cision is firmly fixed in his own
mind.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he is con-
ferring with some of his trusted
advisers about that decision. But
he gave no positive hints as 70
how he is leaning, insisting that
he has not made any tentative
decision.
Calls Recovery Normal
Conceding that his health
never will be as good as it was
before his September "a heart
attack, the President said his
doctors tell him he is making
normal and satisfactory progress
toward a reasonable level Of
strength"
He said his future life must
be carefully regulated to avoid
excessive fatigue"
So far, by following the regime
laid down by his doctors. he has
gotten by very well, he added.
But he said it would be pre-
mature to say whether his health
is going to be up to carrying the
burdens of the presidency.
The Presidents doctors expect
to be able to advise him after
another checkup in mid-Febru-
airy whether his damaged heart
can stand the strain of the White
House work load.
First Since August
This was Mr.. Eisenhower's first
White House news conference
since last August 4 when he said
his health this year would be
one Of the factors in his de-
cision on whether to run again.
That was just 10 days before
he left for Colorado vacation
which was interrupted by his
heart attack in Denver.
The President met informally
with White House correspondents
at Key West, Fla, January s
when he said his mind was not
firmly fixed about second term.
But today was the first time
the bulk of Washington CORE
spondents had had an opportu-
nifty to question Mr.. Eisenhower
since before his heart attack. A
total Of 200 crowded into the
press conference room in the Elk
ecutive Office Building, most of
them eager to ask about his Sec
ond term intentions.
The President had spent 40
minutes in his Office preparing
for his meeting with the press.
Then wearing a brown hat, a
tan polo coat over his brown
suit, he walked through the light
snow over to the old State De-
partment Conference Room with
his two press aides.
The President looked rested
and alert, laughed and smiled
a good deal during his 29-minute
Exchange with reporters. He is
tanned, presumably from his
Florida vacation, and seemed
in high good humor throughout.
Near Record Number
The number of reporters
crowded into the ornate little
room was four less than the rec
ord number which attended his
first press conference of Feb
ruary II, 1858.

wide-open policy about this
