Stassen stepped out Saturday as President Eisenhow- er’s disarmament cdviser and an- nounced he is a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. ‘ Stassen’s resignation in or- der to run on the Republi- can ticket in the May primary was announced at the president’s vacation headquarters. ‘ _ Eisenhower said he accepted "tTre"4"i"€si‘gnation with deep regret. As is h’s custom in the case of primary races, the president did not directly endorse Stassen’s bid for the’ governorship. But in a let- ter to Stassen he said “you have much to contribute to the future of our country."

It was the guided democracy program that brought Commun- ists into the central government.

Dr. Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, former finance minister and un- til recently governor of the Bank of Indonesia, was named prem- er and finance minister.

ALLOWED U.S. CURBS In his speech here, dealing largely with, agricultural matters, he said the Liberals “backed down” in dealing with the United States on trade. It had allowed U.S. import quotas to be set on Canadian farm product exports. But the Conservative govern- ment had persuaded the U.S. to drop its practice of tying up future export markets in the world through the operation of the U.S. agricultural surplus dis- posal program. Both here and at Choiceland, he invited farmers to scrutinize the Conservative farm price supports bill. -At Choiceland he invited his audience to come up and look at a copy of the bill he held in his hand—none did—while here he said farmers were welcome to write to his Ottawa office for copies of the legislation. He said the Liberal a.iid CCF parties describe the measure as providing price floors at 80 per cent of average prices in the pre- vious 10 years.
