Ike Ignores Nixon Case in Speeches on Ticket
President Eisenhower declined to answer questions about the Nixon controversy and would not say when he would decide if Nixon stays on the ticket. In Portland Nixon hinted he would know within 48 hours whether he remains the vice presidential nominee. Hagerty reported Eisenhower wants Nixon to come clean on finances, and Taft and Dewey had not been consulted before Nixon spoke. Telegrams favored both sides, with many Republican officials urging that Nixon remain on the ticket.

The $18,000 fund has been donated by Dana F. Smith of Pasadena California, trustee of the fund at Nixon's urging, with a list of contributors.
