Military Men Say Eisenhower To Run Says Eisenhower Has Indicated Plans Rome, Italy, Nov. 28—(UP)— Military men at the North Atlantic conference said today Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower has “indl-, rated" to them that he will leave Europe early next year to seek the Republican presidential nomination. \ The Atlantic pact commander has given strong indications of this in private conversations with his associates since his return from the Washington conferences with President Trutffffh, they said.\ Yet, not a single military man here claims Eisenhower has said in so many words that he is a presidential aspirant. One source fsaid Eisenhower’s associates pressed the general for a clear statement so they could make future plans; '“lke has not replied in so many words,” the source said, “but there is a pretty general conviction that he will declare himself in the presidential race.- He has had many opportunities to say he is not interested in politics, and he has passed them all up. Everyone feels,, Ike is running until he definitely says otherwise.” .. The source said military men felt it likely that Efeenhower would have a definite announcement to make at the next North Atlantic council meeting to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, next January or early February. . National Broadcasting company correspondent Jack Begon reported yesterday that Eisenhower had confided in associates that |he would quit his command no later than February to seek the GOP presidential nomination. “His military associates. I’ve learned on good authority, insist; ed that Ike declare himself at least to them so they could plan for the\ future.’’ Begort said. “They say ‘t‘s hard and fgst, that they’ve put him on the spot ... so they can see their way.” r f

Calif., Nov. 28.—(UP) —A superior court judge decides today whether Billy Cook, whose quick trigger finger wiped out a family of five, returns to federal prison or goes to the state’s lethal gas chamber for the sixth slaying in his wild blood spree. Judge Luray J. Mouser ruled yesterday that the little Missouri badman guilty of first-degree murder for the shooting of traveling salesman Robert Dewey on the California desert. But the judge d postponed sentencing until today, when he will hear a probation report and decide whether the 23-year-old mass murderer is entitled to leniency. If Mouser finds that Cook is not entitled to leniency, the death sentence is mandatory under California law. If Cook is granted leniency, tbe sentence would be life imprisonment. and he then would be returned to the federal penitentiary at Alcatraz to resume serving n 3(H)-year term for murdering five members of the Carl Mosser family of Atwood, 111. ' Cook shot th«r Seattle. Wash., salesman to death Jan. 6 while fleeing west after kidnaping and killing the Mossers. District Attorney Don C. Bitler argued for a first-degree murder ruling betause Dewey was killotj in connection with a robbery. Defense attorney John Connolly o f Oklahoma City contended the killing was not premeditated \and therefore, could not be firstdegree. Cook originally pleaded innocent and innocent-by-reason-of -Insanity to the Dewey slaying, but he withdrew his innocent plra and his attorneys attempted to prove he was insane at the time the saleman was killed. , • \ A jury deliberated only 45 min utes before deciding the little desperado was sane. Cook was convicted of the Mosser killings in an Oklahoma City federal court and sentenced to 300 I years in Alcatraz. A local county ' grand jury indicted him for the Dewey murder, however, when it i learned he might become eligible . for parole from the federal pen- . itentiary in 15 years. . \ ' f Masons To Present Play At Qhio City Members of the Decatur Masonic lodge composing the cast of the play “Greater Love Hath No Man.”, go to Chip City, 0., tonight to present the play there at 7:30 company the to Ohio City'', are o’clock. • .
