WILSON United Prett Correspondent Washington KU.R) Newsmen are going back long years into thp adrnimstration of Frank D Roosevelt to match the press c o n f e r e nee question - and answer game to which re porters and President Eis enhower now are committed. The question now is whether Lyle C. Wilson Mr. Eisenhow er will seek renomination. With FDR, it was whether he would D shatter precedent and seek third term. '' Mr. Roosevelt won his contest o with. the reporters. He won it with most of the politicians, too, baffling them and others with as fine a line of double talk as ever was. They never could be sure 8 he was in or out of the contest. When all the returns were in and Mr. Roosevelt had been safe- 6 ly renominated for term No. 3, 1! there was dispute whether he S had wanted to retire or deliber ately, over a period of years, had masterminded a brilliant po litical strategy which could not fail to obtain his renomination, Those who did not admire Mr. Roosevelt called it a phony, "personally managed draft. Pattern Now Public . o Whatever may have been his motive, the pattern of Mr. Roosevelt's strategy is public property now. And there is some accumulating evidence that Mr, Eisenhower knows what it was. 'Bosh," smiled the President this week when a news confer ence questioner sought to pin . him on his 1956 political plans. "Go put on a dunce cap and stand in the corner," was FDR's facetious rejoinder to the late Bob Post, of the New York Times, when the third term question bobbed ud first in a White House conference. Mr. Roosevelt soon was tell ing selected intimates directly and audiences in vaguer terms that he was not a third term candidate, something Mr. Eisen hower also has been telling as sociates with respect to a second term. Both Mr. Roosevelt then 0 and Mr. Eisenhower currently pondered the destructive effect upon their own prestige and po litical authority which would flow from any announcement that they would not succeed themselves. ; Attitudes Differ o Mr. Eisenhower is not as con vinced as FDR, at least, pretend ed to be that any announcement of retirement would be destruc tive of authority. But the Presi dent has remarked that the politicians have pressed that ar gument upon him. Personally, the President has said to inti mates, he is not sure the politi cos are right because, after all, he argues, "I still would be the President until my term ended." Be that as it may, Mr: Eisen hower is refusing to disclose his 1956 political plans other than to say his record is proof enough that he would not reject a legiti mate call to duty. He used much the same language in 1950-51 in ' parrying questions whether he would accept a first presidential nomination. . Meantime, as in the case of FDR back in 1938-39-40, party leaders are beginning to whoop it up for the President's renomi nation. Not all of them, of course, but a great . many to which each week adds sgme sig nificant names. The second term bandwagon, in fact, has begun to roll. It will roll right up to the 1956 Repub lican national convention and unload an overwhelming major ity of Eisenhower delegates un less Mr. Eisenhower, himself, puts on the brakes. FAREWELL KISS is given Maryellen by her father, Charles Wil liams as he and 13 others prepare to sail from Los Angeles to Cocos Islands in search for fabulous $60,000,000 Peru treasure believed buried there.

NICHOLS United Prese FeatHM Writer Washington U.PJ What's new in Washington: , It happened in the Senate cloak room. A couple of sena tors were fum ing over com m i t tee assign ments, some of which are plums. One re marked: "That reminds me of Abe Lincoln. Once he was Harmon Nichols walking along the street with two small boys, who were howl ing at the top of their lungs. "What's wrong with those kids, Mr. Lincoln?" somebody asked. Abe replied: "Same thing as is wrong with the world. I've got three walnuts, and they each want two." . Seldom you get two U. S. vice- presidents in the same column. Anyhow, Alben W, Barkley, the erstwhile Veep and now sena tor, is back in his quarters, but he isn't settled yet. As this is being written, all he has seen of Room 110 in the Senate Office Building he saw by poking his nose through the door; He didn't like what he saw. Things were a mess. His gear is not yet un packed. His mementoes still are in boxes. Mrs. Flo Bratten, who has . been with the gentleman from Kentucky for 28 years, is taking charge. The nice little lady from Cold Spring, Ky., looked the room over and de cided it ought to be repainted. It's about to be in the same color as it was before. Pale green. Mrs. Bratten, who raises roses and azaleas back home, thinks it would be nice also to have some posies around Suite No. 110. "Mr. Barkley," she said, 'leaves that up to us girls." The active vice - president, Richard M. Nixon, is in some what a tizzy over a letter he got. It came from Virginia, starting: "Dear Mr. Nixon: Please advise at your earliest convenience when I can have a short talk with you. I am a Texan, state wise, who ran off and left his wife near Coburg, Germany. The last I saw her, she was riding to work on her bike in an early morning snow. I need your help m order that I might find her. I feel her all around me, but she is not in my arms. Our love affair is only half complete. Her name is Anna." The congressmen are busy al ready writing letters to the folks back home. In his news letter, Rep. Sidney R. Yates of Illinois mentioned something that hap pened in the Democratic caucus that preceded the opening of Congress. Pert Mrs. Iris Butch, the new congresswoman from Georgia, defeated Don Wheeler in the recent primary. Wheeler had pitched the Democratic base ball team to many a victory in the congressional ball game that is played in the name of charity each year. When Mrs. Blitch was introduced, according to Yates, somebody whispered: "Can she pitch?" Bedford's Greatest TV Value!
