Cease Fire Boosts Ike Popularity in Korea Accord
The Korean cease-fire appears to raise President Eisenhower's prestige though peace negotiations carry risk for his administration. Democrats and Republicans agree a 1952 candidacy could yield a larger victory if the cease-fire holds, yet a resumption of fighting could hurt GOP prospects in next year's elections. Senator Carlson of Kansas calls the truce a major accomplishment so far.

Washington ULP. Nomination of Governor James F Byrnes of South Carolina as a U N delegate to the General Assembly drew protests.
