THURSDAY. JANUARY 13. 1955 like - $6111 .. Kees Oviiii'_.Cl!.:,,miteil ,FOr 2rl-:-.1 - 'Term WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (A')—President Dwight D. Eisenhower took the positi.on today that it will be up to him personally to decide whether it is his duty to run again in 1956. He also joined other Republicans in defending Vice President Richard Nixon, his 1952 running mate, from Democratic criticism. He suggested that words taken out of context from the Nixon's 1954 Signs Show Dag's Talks Not in Vain HONOLULU, Jan. 12 (M—Dag Hammarskjold flew into Honolulu today on his homeward trip from Peiping as signs mounted that his mission to free prisoners held in Communist China was not in vain. While the United Nations secre tary general remained silent, a persbnal aide. Per Lind, told re porters. in Tokyo that the families of 11 American fliers laded as "spies" must "have a little more patience. And in London, the British For eign Office endorsed a UN spokes man's statement that Hammar skiold had not failed in his talks with Premier Chou En-lai of Red China. In Washington. the State De partment said the United States is completely uninformed on "the substance" of Hammarskjold's ef forts but has received only !`esti mates from official sources" on the mission's success or failure. Inquiries to Press Officer Henry Suydam brought answers which added up to this: So far as the American government knows Hammarskjold has not told any one outside his own mission about the results of his talks. In response to reporters' ques tions in Honolulu, Hammarskj old said that this was "not the time or place" to comment on his mis sion for a "fairly obvious" reason. .That reason is that he will make no statement until his report to the United Nations General As sembly, which sent him .to Pei ping, possibly lat e r this week. Hammarskj old to 1 d reporters, however, he had not yet set any definite filnes for making the re port. Hammarskjold declined all com ment to reporters on his one-hour stopover in Tokyo, just as he did when he left Hong Kong Tuesday. Lind said in Tokyo any state ment made now about the 11 fliers and other UN prisoners held by the Communists in China "might not be in their (the prisoner's' best interests." Hammar.skjold is due in New York tomorrow. Leader Selects Two HARRISBURG,' Jan. 12 (?P)— Gov.-elect George M. Leader to night selected Joseph Kennedy of Wilkes-Barre to be his Secretary of Mines. Earlier, Leader said he will ap point Dr. James C. Charlesworth, a 'University of Pennsylvania fac ulty member, as secretary of ad ministration, a new post which replaces that of budget secretary, now held by Dr. Edward B. Logan.

He replied with a prompt single word, bosh, when asked whether, in advocating a late 1956 GOP convention and a shorter cam paign in recent talks with party chairman Leonard W. Hall, he was indicating he will be a candidate again next year. The chief executive told a news conference he hopes he never would be so self-centered as to fail to respond to a call to duty. But he stressed that such things must be decided by the individual concerned and he certainly would want to know in critical circum stances what his duty was. Some pro-Eisenhower Republi cans have been saying that the President, even though he may be reluctant to run again, would be prevailed upon to do so through a sense of duty to the country or, as some put it more narrowly. to his party. But reporters, sounding out the President on this reasoning, as usual came up with no real in formation. The Nixon matter was brought up against a background of Demo cratic attacks on Nixon's cam paign tactics and an overnight statement by four Republican state chairmen representing what they called "below-the-belt at tacks" on Nixon. The chairmen said "people in general are getting pretty sick of these pitiful cries of 'smear' which lack any trace of proof." Many Democrats have criticized the vice president, the most active GOP campaigner last fall, on the ground he sought to indict Demo crats generally for a softness toward communism. Asked how he felt about the Democratic attacks, the President said he would be loathe to believe that Nixon was guilty of indis cretions, although he would admit that in the heat of a campaign words, particularly if taken out of context, can be made the sub ject of possibly legitimate criti cism.

TH-►E DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Fifteen Die in Kentucky Plane Crash BURLINGTON, Ky., Jan. 12 (W) —Fifteen persons died today on bleak snow-covered northern Ken tucky hillsides as a TWA Martin Skyliner and a privately owned DC3 collided in the air and crash ed a half mile apart. There were no survivors to ex plain the accident. The TWA plane had left the Greater Cincinnati Airport only minutes before, Pound for Dayton and Cleveland. Ohio. It carried 10 persons and a. crew of three. The DC3, with two aboard, was bein, flown from Battle Creek, Michigan, and was to have picked up Mr. and Mrs. Frederick L. Van Len n e p in Lexington, Ky., wealthy Detroit race horse owners. Just what happened no one seemed to know. Tower control officials said they had no word that the DC3 was in the area. C. Woodrow McKay, chief con troller at the tower ? said he saw the transport plane head south west for about two minutes, make a right turn and then disappear. Seconds later he saw a flash and then smoke. Charles Rising, Cincinnati super vising agent for the CAA, said he knew of no reason for the DC3 to be flying in the area. Another CAA official, who declined use of his name, said marks on the wreckage made it appear that Jhe planes were approaching each other as at the apex of a triangle and that it was their wings which apparently hit first.

Eisenhower also told a news conference that without inquiring into all the circumstances or studying the other side of the question, he once remarked to Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson that a summary of the case would scare him—the President. Yet he said he would uphold the right of Harold E. Stassen, foreign operations administrator, to hire Ladejinsky after Benson turned him down as a security risk. Stas sen, he said, will be held respon sible if his judgment turns out to be wrong. Ladejinsky is a 55-year-old Rus sian who became a naturalized American. He was cleared for se curity by the State Department an dserved as U.S. agricultural at tache in To k y o. When agricul tural attaches were shifted to the Department of Agriculture, Ben son ousted Ladejinsky on security and technical grounds. In the midst of a lively row over the case that reached into Con gress, Stassen took on Ladejinsky for a land reform assignment in Viet Nam. The President said that honest men obviously had reached dif ferent answers, that one unques tionably attached more import ance than others to past associa tions, particularly with Amtorg, the Russian trading agency. He said he believed Ladejinsky had written a book condemning com munism, so there is a nice bal ance in the case.
