TEN MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, March 16, 1955 strategists Already n n nhower mm Flans for Reelection of More Comfortable While House Life Also Considered By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.RJ Behind the draft-Eisenhower scenes, confident Republican strategists PryP'-mftTA already are talking- 1956 campaign plans and methods of making official life more com fortable for the ! President and ; Mrs. Eisen hower, j There is con siderable evi dence that the Lyle C WiUon Eiaeiuiower womenfolk are not enthusiastic about a second term for the master. President Eisen hower has been coy in public on the subject of a second term. To numerous somewhat doubt ing White House visitors he has said that he did not want anoth er four years. Nevertheless, plans to run him again are developing from day to day. And if there is any White House rebuke to Vice President Richard M. Nixon for this week's statement that the party cannot win without the President in 1956, a great many persons here will be surprised, even shocked. Recalls FOR Draft That would be almost too much. Most surely it would re call the incident in the middle of Franklin D. Roosevelt's sec ond term when Secretary of Ag riculture Henry A. Wallace be gan the third term draft boom. The ensuing draft - Roosevelt movement was the best organ l2ed spontaneous activity here tofore seen in these parts. It flowered, finally, with Wallace in second place on the third term ticket. Mr. Roosevelt kept Democrats guessing until the 1940 Demo cratic National convention actu ally met. Then he released the delegations instructed for him and promptly was nominated again, there naving rjeen no time for the angry anti-Roosevelt minority to build up more than a shadow opposition can didate. Mr. Eisenhower has promised his opponents a better break by revealing in the early spring of next year whether he will be a candidate for renomination. If he steps down, which is not like ly, there would be a Republican free for all. In the judgment of most top Republicans, the 'Dem ocrats then would elect a presi dent. More Free Time That is the argument being used on Mr. Eisenhower today that only he can win and effect the over-all Republican program which is too big a job to be ac complished in one term. The men around Mr. Eisenhower are confident that argument will persuade the President to run again. But they are taking some additional precautions. On another front, plans are being made to make official life more pleasant for the Eisenhow ers. It is the little things that often count most. Take dinners' There are half a dozen or so big dinners in a Washington season to which the President is ex pected and usually does go. They come on Saturday nights, al ways.. This year's Women's Na tional Press club dinner was shifted to Thursday by request. Suggestions are expected soon that the President would prefer that some other big affairs do likewise, or even, that some of them be combined to reduce their number. That would free more presidential weekends for relaxation at the Gettysburg, Pa., farm or a quickie to Geor gia for coif. Mrs. Eisenhower would like that, too. Southern Pacific Reporis income Dip .

Charges of By UNITED PRESS . j Charges of sabotage, wire tap- j ping and violence added heat today to widespread telephone and railroad strikes.
