Ike May Make Term Decision On A Friday Studies Proposal On Announcement To Avert Stock Break WASHINGTON (INS) — Prestdent Elsenhower, disturbed by the stock market drop on news of bls heart attack last September, is carefußy weighing a proposal to announce his second term decision on a Friday after the market has closed for the weekend. Most likely date currently under consideration for the eagerlyewaited announcement is March 2. this correspondent has learned that a group of top advisers is urging the President to make known his decision via a cout-to-coast radio-television broadcast on a Friday evening, rather than at a news conference. _ Ike, who ordinarily holds his news confyence Wednesday morning, indicated last week that he would like to be able to tell the reporters first, and then give a fuller explanation to the American people that same evening by telecast. His advisers point out, howover, that when Ike made the off-the-cuff remark in response to a question, he had not considered "the possible broken bones as reporters dash for the telephones, and the limited facilities at the White House for dispatching the biggest story of the year.” The President completes his rigorßus physical examination today and departs Wednesday morning for the Thomasville, Ga., plantation of treasury secretary George Humphrey. During that even-to-ten.. day vacation, Ike hopes to settle in his own mind whether his try for a second term would he in the best public interest. The President is not expected tohold a White House news conference again before Feb. 29, and the date may be postponed if he decides to make the crucial announcement two days later. Advisers feel that if Mr. Eisenhower disclosed his plans at a Wednesday morning press conference, jumpy investors might be?gin dumping holdings if he withdraws, or buying too heavily if he tosses his hat in the ring. The weekend, they argue, would give investors time for Some second thoughts before the Monday market opering.

Poland Joins Parade In Balloon Protest Protest Release Os Weather Balloons "UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (INS) —Poland joined today the parade Os Soviet satellites protesting the release of U. S. weather balloons. The Polish protest — strongest since the Kremlin’s anti-balloon drive began last week — added a new twist by claiming the right to demand compensation for damages and injuries allegedly caused by the balloons. The Warsaw' government charged in its protest that one of the balloons endangered the plane carrying Canadian external affairs minister Lester B. Pearson. In an obvious move to propagandise the issue, Poland released the text of the protest at the UN simultaneously with its delivery to the U. S. embassy in Warsaw. Poland demanded that the U. 8. halt launchings of the balloons which, it was charged, injured Polish citizens and inflicted damages on nouses and property when tiey fell to the ground and burs' into flames. Bulagria said in an earlier protest to the UN that Its anti-air-craft guns had shot down many of the balloons because they interfered with air traffic. The Bulgarian protest also alleged that the balloons were remotely controlled for espionage purposes. Czechoslovakia and Albania also filed protests with the UN over the balloons. Russia protested directly to the U. S. and was told it was confusing U. S. weather balloons with those released by anti-communi-ist organizations in Western Europe. The U. S. denied its balloons were being used for military or propaganda purposes, but said it would stop launching balloons which might soar past the iron curtain. The U. 3. also rejected claims that the weather balloons were a hazard to air traffic. The Polish note assailed the Free Europe committee. which has sent small balloons carrying messages of hape and inforniatior. from the free world, if you have aotnethmg to sett er ’•ooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.

Hut Japan’s bld toward “solvency and international dependability** through .increased U. 8. trade Is opposed largely by American textile producers, w|io fear that Japan is cutting in on their domestic markets.

The organisation is sponsored by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of New York, inc., an association of U. 8. and .Japanese firms, and by the Japan cotton textile exporters association, of Osaka, Japan. The council states that Japan's present dilemma is whether “to continue efforts to sehieve economic solvency or to acquiesce in ths demands of special interests within the United States, by accepting a status of subsistence living standards and economic vassalage.” ' The group said that Japan purchased $1,605 million, worth of U. S. agricultural commodities during 1952-55 while its closest competitiors for U. S. farm products were Great Britain with a total of $1,340 million, Canada, with $1,235 million and West Germany, with $995 million.
