STASSEN'S MOVE TO NOMINATE GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS
REPORTERS ASTONISHED

Mr Stassen made this announcement at a special Press conference at which he said he was convinced that President Eisenhower should have no "honourably avoidable handicap" in his campaign for a second term in the White House.
