. By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON (CP) — Presi-

dent Eisenhower, now in the midst of a triumphant Asian tour, may also attempt a similar trip. through turbulent Latin Am- erica next year.

A Latin tour is “very much in the president’s mind,” State Sec- retary Christian A. Herter told a press conference Thursday. He said he did not want to speculate on what the final decision would be. No United Statés president has ever made a complete tour of the 20 Latin countries. af

Herter observed that Ejisen- hower’s unprecedented Asian trip “exceeded our greatest expecta- tions,” indicating wide “public acceptance” of- the president as an individual and a symbol of the US.

ENTHUSIASM GREAT

“The turnout has been tre- mendous and the genuine enthis- iasm there, indicating a depth of feeling for this country, certainly must have been tre gratifying to the president.”

Herter, who leaves Saturday for Paris to attend the NATO ministerial talks and the West- ern summit conference there next week, showed more self-con- fidence, at. Thursday’s meeting

with reporters than at — previous sessions.

Driving Goal Is Said

OTTAWA (CP) This year’s safe-driving week ves “Cana- dian motorists still have a long way to go to rate the status of safe drivers,” executive director W. Arch Bryce of the Canadian Highway Safety Council said Thursday.

A council survey shows 52 per- sons died from traffic accidents during the seven - day period ended Dec. 7. This compared with 43 in the 1958 safe-driving week and 47 in 1957's.

Mr. Bryce said the 1959 safe- driving week figures are well be- low the 10-a-day fatality average of the last six months.

He ced the argument in asking’ the’ court to order a new trial “of his $50,000 damage suit against the Toronto Globe ang Mail for alleged libel against him during the 1957 federal elec- tion campaign.

Mr. Boland, defeated independ- ent - Conservative in Torento - Parkdale in the election, claims - he was libelled in a Globe and Mail editorial.

The action was dismissed by the trial judge in the Ontario Supreme Court, Mr. Justice W.F. Spence, who ruled that an elec- tio is an occasion of qualified privilege. The decision was upset by the Ontario Court of Appeal — which ordered a new trial.
