Eisenhower said Monday he was grateful lor being proposed as a presidential candidate in 1952 but felt his duty was to remain as president of Columbia university. In a guarded statement, how ever, he did not appear to flatly withdraw his name as a possible candidate. Eisenhower's statement came after Thomas Dewey said he favored the supreme allied com mander of World war II as the republicans' 1952 presidential candidate. The general said he was 'grateful and complimented" by Dewey's endorsement, but added, "As for myself, my con victions as to the place and methods thru which I can best contribute something to the cause of freedom have been often expressed. Here at Colum bia university, I have a task that would excite the pride and challenge the qualifications and strength of any man." Dewey Not Running Dewey, twice a candidate for president himself, said he would not run for the presidency again, even if he were drafted. Harold Stassen, twice an un successful aspirant for the re publican presidential nomina tion, hailed Dewey's support of Eisenhower in 1952 as "real statesmanship." Meanwhile, President Truman was flying back to the mainland to report on his meeting with General MacArthur as world capitals still puzzled over the significance of the Pacific ren dezvous.

While he will preface his talk with a reference to his confer ence with General MacArthur there has been no indication that the president will elaborate greatly on the Wake island meeting. Truman was reported anxious to build up strong American support lor the spending neces sary to keep defense appropri ations moving alter the Korean emergency ends and to rehabil itate and reconstruct Korea as an example to all the far east that the United States wants only peace and stability lor the world. Move to Capital In Korea two allied spear heads smashed toward the Pyongyang in an armored race lor the red Korean capital. There was a growing belief in Tokyo military circles that the war would end in a lew weeks. But a long mopping-up period may lollow. The Americans battled thru stubborn resistance Monday in a 12-mile thrust to Simmak, 46 air miles southeast ol the com munist capital. Both lorces were thrusting through North Korea's mountain backbone which shield Pyongyang on the south and east. Field reports indicated that red remnants were crumbling rapidly.

"Third, University students traght-to participate because the state of Nebraska now ranks high in the states in its observance of UN activities and its knowledge of UN affairs," he said. "Stu dents can help keep that high place intact by learning of the UN through the activities pre sented during this week. In this way, Nebraska can stay among the best informed states and campuses of America."
