Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. IKE'S PRESS CONFERENCE - President Eisenhower holds his first White House press conference since his mild stroke eleven weeks before. Among the headline-making highlights, Ike says he's feeling "very well indeed," states that if necessary to choose, he would prefer a budget deficit to a tax rise, and goes on to praise Secretary of State Dulles in the highest terms. 2A/B.

But this voyage is entirely different from the Pearl Harbor raid. It's a training cruise and good-will visit by staunch allies. 3A/B. SPORTS — SLED DOG RACE - Shades of Jack London. They're racing sled dogs in New Hampshire. A 2-day Malamute Marathon, and grand sport it is, as the teams of huskies tackle the frozen thirteen miles that makes up the scenic course. / SKI JUMP CHAMPS - At Ishpeming, Michigan, 26 of the country's top ski-birds compete for places on the U. S. team that will take part in the World's Championship Meet in Europe. The top men, Art Tokle and Ansten Samuelsten.
