Eisenhower to Reveal
SO Plans by March l
He Expects
Have All
Data by hen
BY GARRETT d. HORNER

President Eisenhower today
indicated-without promising
that he win announce by March
/ whether he is going to run
again.
He told news conference
that If he does decide to seek
a second term in the White
House he has got to be convinced
he can carry the job efficiently.
He said 1t seemed to him that
he ought to have as much i1for-
nation on which to base his de-
cision by the end of this month
as he ever is going to have.
The President will get from
his doctors Tuesday the results
of new examinations showing
how his damaged heart is stand
ing the strain Of the full White
House work load he resumed q
month ago.
Own Feelings Key Factor
But he said today that he
probably will trust his own feel
ings more than the doctors re-
ports when it comes to making
up his mind about another term.
Mr.. Eisenhower fenced. with
newsmen in an obvious effort to
avoid giving any positive hint
about whether his inclination
now is to run again or not to
run. He made some remarks
that appeared to be on one side
of the fence and some on the
ott r.
He volunteered the comment
that even ii he had not had a
heart attack and had decided
to stand for the presidency again.
he would not have transformed
for himself as he did In 1882.
| This could be interpreted as
preparing the way for an an
nouncement that he will CAM
paign for a second term mainly
by television speeches rather
than by extensive travel over
the country.
On Cautious Side
| On the other hand, Mr.. Eli
lsenhower, said that ever since
his September "a heart attack,
he had tried to be on the eau
tious, rather than the optimistic
side in anything he said about q
second term possibility in the
hope that it would not be too
much Of a shock if the time
came that he had to renounce
another term.
I In talking about his own feel.
ings which will guide his de-
Icision. the President said there
have been times during the past
month when he thought he had
felt more tired than before his
heart attack. But that could be
due to advancing years. he said
with a smile.
He added that his doctors con-
tinue to say his recovery progress
is excellent.
| Mr.. Eisenhower refused to tic
himself down to announcing his
decision by March /. At the
same time. he did not rule out an
announcement before he leaves
about the middle of next week
for a vacation in Southern
Georgia.
| May Make TV Talk
He told questioners that it was
! his guess that he will announce
his decision at regular news
conference. But any long ex-
PLANTATION needed probably would
be made in another fashion, he
said. This presumably would be
on a Nation wide television APP
pearance.
In case he does not run again,

Roy Hallbeck. legislative di-

erful a cog he is in a giant ma
chine. 1t gives dignity to the i'm
portance of his contribution
when he realizes that his bus
fare could keep a six-route bus
firm operating or could suspend
the operation.
There is no telling to what
length the segregationists will go
in their efforts to block or even
halt the movement to give the
Negro his rightful share of cit
izenship. But there is comfort in
the knowledge that he cannot in
woke his sanctions upon the Ne
gro without hurting himself. So
there is suffering on both sides,
and there is no letting up.
The stage is set for long,
drawn-out encounter in this
battle to maintain segregation.
But it is doomed to failure. It will
fail ingloriously because econom-
les have strange means of affect
ing peoples consciousness. 1t will
fail because the Negro will con-
tinue to be adamant in his con-
tention for his rights under the
law. 1t will fail because the moral
code of society tells the better
minds that it is wrong.
The Negroes of Tallahassee are
to be commended for their vim
dictive stand. They may well rest
assured that the support of Ne
groes everywhere is with them.
Their cause will be justified with
passage of time.

The Rev. c. K. Steele, president
of the Inter-Civic Council told a
mass meeting Sunday night, at
really appears that our city po-
licemen have decided to run us
out of town - that is off Monroe
and Adams streets (the main
business streets.)
cit seems they don't recognize
that we are in town not to break
laws, but to pay bills and to give
business and patronage to stores
that are friendly to us there" he
continued. Steele warned that if
they continue their police intimi-
dalton it will finally become nee
esSary for us to stay out of town
and make other arrangements"
Thus the threat to boycott
downtown Tallahassee becomes
imminent. Just what action - If
any - the retail merchants will
take to stave off this added blow
to their business remains to be
seen.
The police appear to have OPEN
ed a campaign of harasSment and
intimidation of Negroes in the
downtown area since the start of
the boycott month ago. Steele
charged. He accused the police of
making arrests for the slightest
violation of city traffic ordinances.
He said the police are rude and
often 'brutally so" and subject
Negroes at police headquarters to
a third degree" for violations
that ordinarily mean nothing
more than a violation ticket plac-
ed on the windshield.
We Judge from this latest slant
on the situation at. Tallahassee
that the plight of the Negro is not
a very happy one at the NOM
ent. It can readily be seen that
racial relations are strained and
are becoming worsened e h
day. But this too has its brighter
side. It gives the Negro a better
chance to observe closely the in
tent behind all the screening be-
ing placed upon the matter Of de-
segregation. It gives him also q
closer picture of many of the ills
and hardships he will be called
upon to endure in this transition
period. Much of this Is what was
meant when the Negro was warn
ed that he must be prepared to
stake something" to integration.
It is part of the responsibility
which goes with the fight to at
tain the goal he seeks.
This is made doubly nard
with each incident as the oppos-
ing forces seek to use every
means at their command to dis
courage the Negro and cause him
eventually to "toss in the sponge"
The situation now obtaining in
Tallahassee is truly an object les
SON. It spells out to Negroes all
over the state that we must new

ment, let down our guard" 1t is
a truism that although men are
accused of not knowing their own
weakness, yet perhaps a few
know their own strength. It Is in
men as in soils, where some
times there is a vein of gold which
the owner knows not of. We
should never forget that. The
