Torn Welcome Signs Get Repairs in Seoul
Seoul, Korea—U.P.B.—Workmen roamed the streets of Seoul today repairing "Welcome Ike" banners and signs whipped by a cold Siberian wind during the night. $ \textcircled{1} $
The banners and the large numbers of soldiers and military police in Seoul's streets were the only signs of President-elect Dwight Eisenhower's long-expected visit.
As usual, officials maintained a tight secrecy about any plans concerning the visit. The President-elect's arrival and departure were not even subjects for speculation.
The temperature in Seoul at noon today was 18 degrees and the day was bright with sun sparkling on a thin blanket of crisp snow remaining from yesterday's light snowfall.
Officials said no news of the visit will be released over the 8th Army's special radio teletype equipment until after the President-elect leaves Korea.

Washington — (U.P.)—President Truman and Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson will meet late today to plot strategy for rebuilding their party, which soon will be out of power for the first time in 20 years.
It will be the first meeting between the top Demorats since the election in which Gov. Stevenson was defeated by Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Stevenson, Truman Plot Democrat Strategy
The Illinois governor was scheduled to arrive in Washington late this afternoon after addressing the CIO convention at Atlantic City,
N. J. He will be a White House guest until Friday.
The main political conference will take place during the day tomorrow around the President's desk. Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell will also participate.
After conducting the inevitable post-mortem on the reasons for their defeat, the Democratic leaders are expected to devote most of their time to planning a party comeback in the 1954 congressional elections.
Gov. Stevenson, who will retire to private law practice in Chicago
next month, has said he wants to have a hand in "strengthening some of the weak spots" in the party. Mr. Truman is known to have ideas of his own on that subject.
The main challenge to Gov. Stevenson's position as chief Democratic spokesman comes from Congress, where Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.), Sen. Burnet R. Maybank (D-S. C.) and other southern Democrats already have served notice they intend to make Democratic policy during the next four years.
