definite postponement of the
trip.
Encourage Relieved
The Japanese governments
decision cast a pail of regret
and uncertainty over the Pres
ldent's encourage. But the
regret was mixed with relief
that the President would not
have to risk his personal safety
in a mission that Mr.. Hagerty
said only yesterday Mr.. Eisen-
hover was determined to fulfill
"as a soldier"
Mr.. Eisenhower is known tc
have turned down the advice
of some aides who suggested he
cancel the japanese visit after
the collapse of plans for a good
will visit to Russia.
Mr.. Eisenhower appeared de-
termined to show that even il
he was not welcome in Russia
other nations would be happy
to hail him as a symbol OF
American democracy. He also
wanted to continue on to Japan
to show that minority riots
could not disrupt Japanese
democracy.
The fear of violence worried
security as we'll as State De-
partment officials for three
weeks before Mr.. Eisenhower
left Washington.
Advice from Ambassador
Douglas Macarthur II in Tokyo
had been that the Japanese
left-wingers would not dare
demonstrate against Mr.. Eli
senhower, particularly when he
was accompanied by Emperor
Hirohito on his drive from the
airport to downtown Tokyo.
Secret Service Pleased
Security authorities became
less and less convinced Of this
as fanatical japanese student
groups stepped up the tempo
of their demonstrations against
Mr.. Kishi.
The Secret Service men,
who would have had prime re-
sponsibility for Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's safety in Tokyo, heard the
news of the cancellation with
undisguised pleasure.
The dramatic blowup of the
Japanese visit overshadowed a
rousing Filipino farewell in
Manila's Luneta Park to eli
max Mr.. Eisenhower's visit
probably the single most sue
ceSsful trip Of any during his
presidential travels.
Tens Of thousands of happy
Filipinos massed in the park
at the very moment the Jap
anese government was deciding
to call off the trip. The Presi-
dent warned his audience
against Communist lrovoca-
tionS, subyersion and terror
ism"
Mr.. Eisenhower, his face
ruddy after two days OF ex-
posure to the blazing Manila
sun, appeared relaxed. He
wore a dark-blue suit COM
plete with vest and a white
Panama hat. He was pro-
tected from the hot Manila
sun, which raised the tenn
perature to 81 degrees at
pm, by an oval roof. He
stood in the same grandstand
occupied by American and
Filipino officials on July 4, 1916
when the United States granted
independence to this Asian re-
public.
Mr.. Eisenhower chuckled as
a platoon of motorcyclists rode
by, with cards spelling out his
nickname-I-K-E.
Bright With Color
The scene was bright with
color. Red, white and blue
Philippine flags with a touch
Of yellow fluttered in the fore.
ground. The crowd was dressed
in the customary informa
fashion - bright shirts snc
trousers for the men, sprightly
skirts and blouses for the
women.
The crowd was responsive tt
Mr.. Eisenhower's every move
and gesture. They cheered anc

words to Mr.. Garcia.
When Mr.. Eisenhower ther

in earnest conversation. They

Mr.. EiSenhower's face turned
serious as he listened.
Warns on Arms Race
In his speech. the President
declared that the nuclear arms
race must be brought under
control to eliminate the nu-

delicate suspension over the
heads of all mankind"
