EISENHOWER’S PLANS
“Decided Increase In
Optimism”
tftec. 10 p.m.) \ MIAMI (Florida), January 22.
The Vice-President. Mr Richard Nixon, said today that he had detected a “decided increase in optimism” among President Eisenhower’s friends that he would seek a second term. “The majority opinion seems to be hopeful or optimistic about the President’s plans for the future,” the Vice-President said in an interview. This was a “very definite change in the attitudes” of the President’s close friends and associates. “What the change is based on I don’t know,” Mr Nixon added. The decision to run or not should be left to the President, Mr Nixon added. “It is still fundamentally a Presidential decision and one which he will have to make on his own, without any pressure,” he said. “But people who think the President will play coy about his plans just don’t know the President. He is a very forthright man and will make his plans known when he iS ready.”
