Washington (U.RJ Behind
the draft-Eisenhower scenes,
confident Republican strategists

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.

Charges of

Charges of sabotage, wire tap- j
ping and violence added heat
today to widespread telephone
and railroad strikes.
Bitter accusations flared up in
the South, where about 50,000
telephone workers in nine states
entered the third day of their
strike for a new contract against
the Southern Bell Telephone
Company.
The company charged that its
