NEW YORK, July 5 -(AP) ._ Gen: Dwight D. Eisenhower said tonight he "could not acept nom- ination for any public office."

He said in a statement that he identify myself with any political party and could not accept nomination for any public office crr participate in partisan political contests.”

Eisenhower, president of Colum- bia University, set forth his views in .a memorandum to Robert Har- ron, director of the University's division of public relations.

He said that his views “with re- spect to my proper course of duty are still identical with those p1“!- sented in the letter I wrote on Jan. 23, 1948."

At that time he said in a letter to a New Hampshire Republican backing him for the party's 1948 presidential nomination that “I am not available for and could not ac- cept nomination to high political office."

Eisenhower, himself. was not present when tonight's ‘statement was handed out.

In his statement he said that he would continue “subject to the pleasure of the University trustees" to perfonm his duties as president of the University.

Eisenhower's statement came amidst a growing boom to draft him as the Democratic presidential nominee.

The former army chief of staff and supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe had been regard- ed by manv Democratic Party leaders as the only man who could achieve victory in the fall election over the Republicans.

Both Sides Prepare .1'o Resume War

___

By SEAGIIAN MAYNES

AMMAN, Trans-Jordan, July 5 -—<Reuters) —- Tension is mount- ing in Palestine today following the Arab rejection of Count Polite Bernadotws peace proposals and the reported rejection of the Un- lted Nation's mediators scheme by the state of Israel as well.

Both sides are reported prepar: ing to resurne the battle when the fcurlweek cease-fire, engineered by Bernadette and the United Nations Security Council; comes to an end July 9.

There is only-the faintest hope that some means can be found to prolong the truce for considera- tion of counter-proposals from both aides.

Each side feels the truce- has helped the otuher to strengthen his forces and the general impression among observers is that antagon- ists wish for o, further test of arms.

Arabs appear to have used the truce period to attain unity among their states, lack of which had af- fected previous operations of their forces in Palestine,

Recent meetings between King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan, King Farouk. of Egypt and King Ihn Snud of Arabia, were cited as evi- dence of new bonds of unity and mutual support.

The Arab man-ln-the-street believed the end of the truce would see a bigger and better organized action of Arab forces in Palestine as well as strengthened guerrilla forces.

Jews during the truce appeared to have increased supplies of arms --includlng two British tanks token from the Haifa airport.

Russian Aim May Be New Conference 0n German

Situation

By cacao-n para

BERLIN, June 5 - (AP) - The Russians tonight put out their broadest hint yet that their 17- day Berlin blockade is aimed at starting new four-power talks on Germany.

The Soviet-licensed Nacht-IEX- press said if successful talks are he'd “the situation in Berlin will bu automatically clarified." It added: -

.“The Western Powers must again take up the conversations on Germany where they left them at Potsdam."

Allied observers found this hard to reconcile with the Soviet claim, that technical repairs on the! Helmstedt rail line caused thisi vital link to Western Berlin to be shut down.

Nevertheless, United States of- ficials disclosed they had started their own private inquiry to find out just what repairs, if any, the Russians had undertaken on the railway. .

Vilhen the Russians invoked the food blockade on Western Berlin two weeks ago they said they were making "technical repairs." Sai- urday the Russian commander, Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky. said the line was in bad condition from three years of heavy use. l-le refused to say when the block- ade would be lifted on the only rail line from the western zones into Berlin. *

An American c-fficlal said an ef- fort- is being rmade to find out exactly what is going on and whe- ther repair crews are on the job.

As the Americans tried to find out about the railroad situation, Allied fliers continued to pour supplies into Berlin. Worsening weather cut down the American air effort but the RAF. main- tained its heavy volume, making 205 flights into Berlin's Gntow Field. or these, 160 carried food for the Gcnrnans.

Urges Government Action To Build Up Moderiaftiargo Fleet

(By John LeBlnne)

OTTAWA, July 5—(CP)— Gov- ernment action to facilitate snip construction in Canada was urged today before the technical section of the Canadian Shipbuilding and ship Repairing Association.

Richard Lowery of Montreal, chairman of the section's executive committee, told its semi-annual meeting that high wage rates are responsible for the fact that ship construction costs in Canada are higher than in Europe.

"Are Canadian shipyard work- ers and Canadian shipyards to go out of business for wan-t of a Can- adian shipbuilding policy to com- bat low European wages?" Mr. Lowery asked.

While he said the Government W85 to be congratulated upon setting up the Canadian Maritime Commission, he asked what was to be the next step. Many countries in Europe and Soul-h America had taken steps to develop their mel- chant marines udth economical ships, but so far Canada had fail- ed to do this.

For instance, he said, Sweden was developing a fast and ecu- nomical merchant fleet with gov- ernment aid. The Swedish Govern- ment facilitated new building bv allowing accelerated depreciation for taxation purposes.

Canada, said Mr. Lowery, should “wake up and do likewise." He ob- served that Brazil, Holland, Argen- tina and Colombia had come w Canada for modern ships, but that Canadian shipowners were not ordering new vessels built in the Dominion.
