important examination.
Its purpose is to determine. a:
accurately as possible. how Mr.
Eisenhower has stood up under
the massive weight of the presi-
dency after full month al
work. Next Thursday marks the
end of this month.
The Presidents personal ply
sician, Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder
told reporters, mo man who is
just az months past q heart
attack is in a position yet tc
determine his own physical 1T
ness. He should have more time
all the time he needs"
DR.. Snyder and three special
lists who have been keeping a
close watch on the President
recovery will hold consultations
here next Tuesday.
To Take Brief Rest
Then the President plans to
take a brief rest. probably in a
secluded forest lodge near Thorn
asville. Ga. Mr.. Eisenhower may
work out his decision there
and quickly. Il hope / am not
going to dilly-dally too long
about it." he said recently.
Some observers in Washing
ton believe he already knows
what he is going to do. but
others who are close to him are
convinced that he has made nc
decision. The President himself
says he has not. and that he
will make the announcement as
quickly as a decision is firmly
reached in my mind"
Meanwhile. the atmosphere in
the Capital is electric with specu-
lation and debate. gossip. wishful
thinking, rumor and undercur-
rents of anxiety and expectation
1t is very much like the feeling
in a courtroom when the jury is
about to come in with the verdict
If there is a majority guess,
1t is that Mr.. Eisenhower will
not run. But the people who
feel that way today usually add,
Last week. I thought just the
opposite" So do those who now
believe he will run.
When you ask what brought
the change of mind, people usu-
ally answer. We'll. when he said
the other day that ;"

to such an extent that it can't
be changed Where does the
sense of duty point? D.. My fu-
ture life must be regulated"
The remarkable fact is that
his political friends and foes both
find comfort and reinsurance in
these remarks.

Reds Making Propaganda
OfLetters, Dulles Says

Secretary of State Dulles said
today that Moscow is treating
the exchange of letters between
Soviet Premier Bulganin and
President Eisenhower as a propa-
ganda matter. The urgency of
an American reply, he added. is
not very great.
Mr.. Dulles told a news con-
ference, however, that the United
States will reply to Mr.. Bulgan-
ms second letter. He said the
United States is studying that
letter to see if there is anything
in 1t which might be useful, but
that he and Mr.. Eisenhower have
not dealt with it on an urgent
basis at all.
Marshal Bulganin's first letter
to Mr.. Eisenhower was dated
January %. In it he proposed a
20-year friendship pact with the
United States. Mr.. Eisenhower
replied on January 20, rejecting
the friendship pact as unneces-
say in view of Soviet and Ameri-
can commitments under the
United Nations charter.
Views on End Letter
Marshal Bulganin's second let
ter. dated February /, renewed
the proposal for non-aggres-
sion pact. and offered to extend
the treaty to Great Britain and
France, too.
When asked about the second
message today. Mr.. Dulles point
ed out that the Soviet Union
held up publication in Moscow
OF Mr.. Eisenhower's reply for
five days-until the Soviets had
their second letter ready for pub
LEGATION.
Mr.. Dulles said he therefore
thinks that the second letter can
be interpreted as being designed
very largely for domestic con-
sumption. The essence of it, he
said, was dealt with by Mr.. Eli
senhoWer's letter of January %.
A reporter asked Mr.. Dulles
II he felt there was no fruitful
possibility in continuing the ex-
change If letfere
Propaganda Move Seen
Mr.. Dulles said that wasn't
exactly what he had said. He
explained, however, that he
thought it is a fact that this
(exchange) has gotten pretty
much into a propaganda chan
mel and the handling of the
Presidents letter and the reply
that is. the second Bulganin
letter-indicates that it is largely
treated as a propaganda matter
by the Soviet rulers.
When these matters get into
the propaganda field, Mr.. Dulles
. continued, it is not as easy to
make any progress as would be
if there were a sincere desire
to arrive at result, which gen.
orally implies confidential ex-
ploratory contacts.
MFR. Dulles said he had drawn
certain differences from the fact
that Soviet Ambassador Georgi
Zaroubin had chosen what Mr..
Dulles regarder to be as the most
spectacular possible way Of de-
