He had been the city’s mayor for 18 of his 69 years. Mr. Houde’s death was as quiet as the last four years of his life. He had been in retirement, out of the public eye, since’ 1954. He spent last evening visiting members of his family. A son-in- law, Jean Louis Handfield, said the old man had been in cheerful spirits and planned to see his doc- tor for a check-up this morning. Mr. Houde was a flamboyant part of the Quebec political scene, umph and defeat, from 1923 to Eisenhower Pledges No InFarEast WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi- dent Eisenhower pledged Thurs- day night there would be no ap- peasement in the Far East crisis because he said that might lead fo a major war. At. the same time, Eisenhower said, ‘‘there is some hope” that Red China will agree to negoti- ate a cease-fire in the Formosa Strait. Eisenhower spoke in a major eastern policy speech carried on television and radio. Eisenhower described the Far East tensions as serious but he said: “IT believe that there is not going to be any war.’ Eisenhower said the United States would neither be ‘lured or frightened into appeasement” because of Red China’s massive bombardments and threats to in- vade Quemoy and other Nation- alist-held islands. He added: ‘“Now I assure’ you that no American boy will be asked by me to fight just for Quemoy. But those who make up our armed forces—and I believe the Ameri- can people as a whole—do stand ready to defend the principle that armed force shall not be used for President Has Hope For Peace ‘strongly hinted Tuesday at pos- should be able to arrange a cease- fire: But if these talks fail, he said: ‘here jis still the hope that the United Nations could exert a peaceful influence on the situa- tion.’’ Eisenhower hinted) that he has some specific proposals. in mind to offer the.
