Eisenhower Ready
To Run For
President

Kas.) had come out for “Eisen
hower for President” as long as
three years ago,” said the Times
Herald.
“At the same time, sources close
to Capper said of Eisenhower’s
candidacy: ‘There are some peo
ple in the Republican party who
are not satisfied with Dewey or
Taft, and some in the Democratic
party who do not feet that they
can win with Truman.”
Eisenhower told reporters in
Frankfurt, Germany, during a
European tour last September that
there was “no possibility of my
ever being connected with any po
litical office.” This comment was
made in response to questions
whether he might be named Am
bassador to Great Britain—a post
later given to treasury undersecre
tary O. Max Gardner.

Proclamation
Ending Hostilities

to cooperate with the new Repub

President replied he was cooper
ating.
The President emphasized that
the termination of the period of
hostilities did not have the effect
of terminating the state of war
itself. Nor. he said, does it termin
ate the states of emergency de
clared by President Roosevelt on
Sept. 8, 1939 and May 27, 1941.
“With respect to the termina
tion of the national emergency and
the state of war I shall make
recommendation to the Congress
in the near future,” his formal re
port, read to the reporters, con
cluded.
Stephen Foster was born on the
Fourth of July, 1826.
Taxes May Be
Greatly Reduced
WASHINGTON, <£>)—President
Truman’s proclamation terminat
ing hostilities may automatically
reduce the nation’s 1947 tax bill by
approximately $3,700,000,000.
Colin F. Stam expert of the joint
congressional committee on inter
nal revenue told reporters that,
under Mr. Truman’s action, excise
levies—including those on liquor,
jewelry, furs, luggage and many
other consumer items—will be cut
back effective July 1. The tax op
liquor will drop from $9 to $6 a
proof gallon.
The reductions were made man
datory in the 1943 wartime rev
enue act in which Congress stipu
lated the high war-imposed ex
cises should be trimmed to speci
fied levels six months after “the
termination of hostilities.”
These special excise levies now
are yielding about $1,400,000,000
annually.

Surprise Proposal
In Security Council
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. <£>)—
The United States in a surprise
maneuver proposed today that
the United Nations security coun
cil give top priority to the atomic
energy problem in its quest for
worldwide arms limitation.
Herschel V. Johnson, United
States delegate and chairman of
the council, presented a brief res
olution calling for the council to
tackle the whole problem of gen
eral arms limitation with the ut
most speed.
The council with Soviet Rus ia
in agreement, decided to take up
the arms resolution at a meeting
to be held not later than next
Tuesday.
At that time it will have before
it: |
1. A sweeping general assembly
resolution calling for world-wide
arms limitation and reduction of
armed forces.
2. The Russian resolution ask
ing quick implementation of the
Assembly proposals.
3. The United States resolution
seeking to put atomic control at;
the top of the list.
4. A request from the foreign
ministers council for the security
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P) — Lack
of assurances of government aid
and "changed circumstances" were
cited as motivating factors today
in the withdrawal by Matson Nav
igation company of its application
for air service between the Pacific
northwest and Hawaii. The notice,
filed yesterday with the Civil
Aeronautics Authority, stipulated
that it should be “without preju
dice to its renewal at a later date
if it be so advised.”
council to start consideration of
Trieste, over which the United Na
tions will have general supervi
sion.
The United States also proposed
that the council postpone consid
eration of a resolution on arms
limitation submitted by Andrei A.
Gromyko, Soviet delegate until all
proposals on arms regulation
could be taken at the same time.
Johnson told the council that
the United States did not oppose
placing the Russian resolution, ^
turned in last Saturday, on the
agenda, but felt that all resolu
tions on the subject should be
dealt with concurrently.
The difference in the United
States and Russian resolutions is
that the United States seeks to at
tack the atomic problem first
while Russia would tackle the
whole arms question at the start.
