1 -p o 5 Would Play ecision to Run in By LYLE C. WILSON Uniied Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The sud den sunburst of confence that President Eisenhower may run ions, such as: 1. Mr. EisenTiower has about converted to the idea that the Democrats w-ill sweep 1956 if he withdraws. 2. The President would not require more than a reasonable chance of survival to take on a second term. He would balk, however, if he felt that another four White House years might invite lingering incapacity. 3. Neither Mrs. Eisenhower nor the President's esteemed younger brother, Milton, is like ly to determine the issue. The decision must be, finally, by the one most concerned. 4. Mr. Eisenhower feels that his administration has developed an overall domestic program, but especially in the areas of spending and taxation, which must be completed to avert na tional disaster. 5. As a West Point graduate and a senior American military figure, Mr. Eisenhower has been trained to respond instinctively to such as might be regarded a duty. Group Did Most These are some of the substantially-held opinions of some of the men who did the most to put Mr. Eisenhower in the White House and are most eager that he may be willing and able to seek another term. Among those who exchanged views on the 1956 Republican prospects were Gen. Lucius Clay, board chairman of Continental Can Co.; presidential chief of staff Sherman Adams; Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jk.; former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New, York; and Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Dr. Paul D. White's optimistic report last week end on Mr. Eisenhower's present and prob able future vigor gains added significance when measured against the judgment of the top Ike-men as to the factors likely to govern the President's 1956 decision. These men and the powerful political and moneyed interests they represent are wholly com mitted to Mr. Eisenhower for 1956, if he will go. Privately, most or all of them say the party must have him. They would not want to be in the position, how ever, of dragooning an ailing man. The tie binding these men to gether would break with a snap heard coast-to-coast if the Presi dent pulled out. Two of the group are possible Republican presidential nominees if Mr. Eis enhower withdraws. The two are Dewey and the Vice-President. Dewey withdrew from politics when he left the governor's chair in 1954. It is no reflection on his integrity to recall that he withdrew with equal empha sis toward the end of his second term as. governor in 1950. He was trapped by events in 1950 and ran again, not merely to regain the governor's office, but to launch and to help support the Eisenhower -for- president boom. He is counted the party's ablest administrator. It is no reflection on Dewey, either, to report that he definite ly figures now in speculation for 1956 if Mr. Eisenhower is not a candidate. Nixon's avail ability, if his chief takes a walk, is well known " and there is much evidence that he would be Mr. Eisenhower's choice In that event. But Nixon and the other top drawer Ike-men are becoming increasingly confident that the President finally will say: Yes!

Washington Prisoners Playing Santa Claus WaUa Walla U.R) Some Washington state prison inmates are playing Santa Claus this year to several boys and girls who might otherwise lose faith in St. Nicholas.
