He said Mr.. Eisenhower made

to trying to get current foreign
aid appropriations to the $4,05
billion ceiling authorized by a
Senate-HouSe conference, he will
campaign this fall for a con-
tinued foreign aid program.
The Senate leader said the
authorization figure, though less
than the administration recon-
mended, is satisfactory to the
President.

He looked a little pale and
obviously had lost weight. The
rough-teXtured sport shirt he
wore was loose around his neck.
But his color was better and his
step was firmer than when he
left Walter Reed Army Hospital
in Washington a week ago last
Saturday.
Hes in the Race"
Senator Knowland was asked
whether Mr.. Eisenhower had
given some second thoughts to
his decision to run again in the
light of his recent illness, which
followed by nine months his
Denver heart attack.
THE fact remains he's in the
race" Knowland replied.
The Senator said he regarded
Mr.. Eisenhower comments to-
day as a continuation of his
February % announcement that
he would accept denomination.
Senator Knowland also was
asked whether Mr. Eisenhower
had authorized him to make the
statement about second-term
plans.
No Knowland replied. but
he knew we were going to meet
the press afterward and he knew
We always try to make frank
reports. >
Ends Speculation
Mr.. Eisenhower's second major
illness had touched off a new
worldwide outbreak of political
speculation on whether the Pres
ident would stay in the race fol
a second term. The first big
round of speculation generated
when Mr.. Eisenhower suffered hi:
heart attack in Denver Septem-
bnr "a. 1955-had subsidized only
three months earlier when the
President announced he would
seek another term.
During the three weeks the
President spent IN Walter Reed
recuperating from his major alb
Gomlnal operation he dropped
not single public hint as tc
what his political course would
be as a result of the new illness
Aides insisted that he did not
discuss the matter with any Gov
eminent official who visited him
in the hospital.
Mr.. Eisenhower's silence hac
served to underscore what he hac
told a news conference March 7
Just a week after he announced
his second term intentions.

President was asked what he

there in the job, or l wouldn't
be available for the job"
Following up on that, another
reporter remarked:
Mr.. President, You seem
to be saying if at any time you
feel that your health is not up
to carrying the burden of the
presidency. you will withdraw
from the race. Is that COR
rect?"

replied with a smile, don't hold

l am talking about my general
let's say. organic fitness for the
Job. as I see it, and that means
carrying a burden of hard work
right on through the year and
through the months.
Nov, any time believe that
has failed to the point of inabil-
ity to perform the job properly
then that goes before the Ameri-
can people instantly"
Confident He's Fit
In making his bid for a second
term February 30, the President
said he was AS we'll as before
his heart attack occurred.
LAS of this moment" he de-
clared, there is not the slightest
doubt that I can perform as well
as l ever have. all of the i'm
portant duties of the presidency
So far as l am concerned,
l am confident that l can carry
them indefinitely"
He said then, too. that some
of my medical advisers believe
that adverse effects on my health
will be less in the presidency
than in any other position" be-
cause they believe the
watchful care that doctors can
and do exercise over a President"
means that a chief executive
normally runs less risk of phys
ical difficulty than do other
citizens.
Called Talks on Program
Despite the suspense which
built up since Mr.. Eisenhower S
intestinal disorder, there had
been a growing expectation that
he would remain in the race.
The announced purpose of to-
days get-together with the
G. o. P. congressional leaders
was a discussion of the admin
istrations program for the wan
ing days OF the present Congress
But it was obvious in advance
that the lawmakers were as
much interested in second-term
plans as in legislative hopes.
The meeting with the leaders
was the longest step Mr.. EiSen-
hover has taken toward the full
resumption of official RESPONSE
bilitieS since his operation.
Reporters expected little more
than a routine brief1ng on a
legislative planning conference
when they gathered in the
sparsely furnished Office of the
president of Gettysburg College
to question Mr. Eisenhower 5
visitors.

But once the briefng on Law :
