TTiry -.at Secoirad Term Son 1956
By JOHN L. CUTTER
' United Press Correipond(pt
Washington (U.R) If Presi
dent Eisenhower need any en
couragement to run for a second
term in 1956, he has had it.
The men who sat down with
him at a White House stag din
ner Monday night are about as
formidable a pressure group for
a second term as any president
has faced.
There were 18 in all govern
ment officials, businessmen, and
politicians. They are all big
Eisenhower, rooters. And they all
want the President to carry the
banner for the Republicans in
1956. ,
There was Atty. Gen. Herbert
Brownell Jr., Postmaster Gener
al Arthur E. Summerfield, Com
merce Secretary Sinclair Weeks.
There was Mr. Eisenhower's old
psychological warfare aide, C.
D. Jackson of Time magazine,
and James L. Murphy, chairman
of the Citizens for Eisenhower
Congressional Campaign Com
mittee. .
Drop Hints
Mr. Eisenhower has dropped
some hints that he would like to
step out of office at the end of
his present term after more
than 40 years of government
service. He has spoken longingly
of. taking up residence at his
Gettysburg, Pa., farm.
But he has not publicly com
mitted himself one way or the
other. Some political leaders
think he sincerely intends to re
tire.. Others believe he can be
talked into running again to vin
dicate his record and to keep the
Republicans in power.
.The pressures for him to do
this already are building up. Nu
merous GOP leaders have pub
licly declared the necessity of
the President continuing to lead
the party. And the guests at
Monday night's dinner are part
of the picture.
There is a real concern in some
Republican quarters that the Re
publicans may be plunged into
dissension and a possibly dis
astrous split at the 1956 nation
al convention if Mr. Eisenhower
is not persuaded to stay at the
helm.
Besides Brownell, Summer
field, Jackson and Murphy, those
invited to the stag dinner were:
Vice-President Richard Nixon;
GOP National Chairman Leon
ard Hall; Sherman Adams, pres
idential assistant; Lucius D. Clay,
Continental Can board chairman
and an Eisenhower booster;
White House Press Secretary
James C. .Hagerty; Undersecre
tary of State Herbert Hoover Jr.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., U. S.
ambassador to the United Na
tions; John R. (Tex) McCrary
Jr., NBC emcee who chairmaned
an elect-Ike rally in 1952; Wil

CENTRAL POINT
Lily Pons Refuses
To Discuss Divorce
El Paso, Tex. (U.R) Opera
stair Lily Pons refused today to
discuss reports she would seek
a Mexican divorce from con
ductor Andre Kostelanetz. -"
Kostelanetz, who was married
to the tiny soprano in 1936, was
reported to have been in El
Paso over.the week end. :
If the couple is seeking a di
vorce, it presumably would be in
Juarez, across the Rio Grande
from El Paso.
Court officials in Juarez said
they had no official knowledge
that Kostelanetz, 53, and Miss
Pons, 50, were seeking a divorce.
But a Juarez attorney said he
had conferred with them. The
lawyer said he couldn't make a
statement.

Attorney Disbarred
By Supreme Court;
Attacked Judge
Little Rock, Ark. (U.R)
Lawyer Harold C. Rains Jr., has
been disbarred by the Arkansas
Supreme . Court at his own re
quest, .because he attacked a
judge while court was in ses
sion. Rains, of Van Buren, Ark.,
was accused by the state bar's
rules committee of using abusive
language toward Chancellor
Judge C. M. Wofford, and try
ing to pull him off the bench.
The brief said Rains was too
drunk last June 10 to defend a
client properly, and had de
scibed the client as "not worth
a damn."
Judge Makes Query
"Have you been drinking this
morning?" Wofford asked Rains,
according to the court reporter's
record. .
"If the court please, that is
none of your business," Rains
said.
Wofford then told the bailiff
to call the sheriff and Rains said:
"Yes, go get him and get him
quick. I have had everything out
of you I can take. You are al
ways asking me in front of peo
ple if I am drinking."
The lawyer then tried to pull
the judge from his chair.
In Rains' petition for his dis
barment, he said he used "dis
respectful and intemperate lan
guage in talking to the court,"
and said it ."culminated in a
physical attack upon the court
committed in a fit of temper."
To Question Confessed
Murder About Father
Clarendon, ' Ark. U.fo Billy
Ray Willingham,. 19, who con
fessed the sex and hunger, slay
ing of a 25-year-old mother,, to
day "wiH be questioned about
the death of bis father, and an
attack on another woman in
Arkansas. .
Willingham was held here be
cause of "strong feeling" against
him in ' Brinkley, Ark., where
he admitted he crushed Mrs.
Sue Fuller's skull with a heavy
piece of kindling wood and sex
ually molested her.
Sheriff H. H.' McKenzie said
authorities wanted . to question
Willingham, an itinerant laborer
from Alabama, about .the death
of his father last May and an
attack on a Pine Bluff, Ark.,
minister's daughter two months
ago. -
The father, Will Willingham,
died at Oakman, Ola., May 7. An
Oakman physician, Dr. H. ' S.
Watkins, said he died of a cere
bral hemorrhage and discounted
the possibility of murder.
But Carl ' Wyars of Des Arc,
Ark, said the elder Willingham
died of a blow on the head. 1 ;
