Possibility of Ike's Refusal Disturbing To Many Republicans By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent ; -Washington (U.R! The dis turbing question which haunts e days and nights of many. Republicans is: "What If Ike says no? It is aston ishing how a sin gle event, such as the President's re f u s a 1 to run again, could so differently at feet other men. For example, , Lyle c. Wilson oonsider four Californians. Chief Justice Earl Warren's life sud denly would be complicated by a glamorous pressure that he desert the bench for politics. There is not much question that Mr. Warren would be nominated i Mr. Eisenhower declined, and would be unless he acted prompt ly and vigorously to prevent it. Mr. Warren would be confronted with a decision which comes to few men because it is also very possible he could be . elected President of the United States. The Chief Justice has said he would not leave the bench. He would have to : say it again with force. Mr. Warren's age, however, is against him: 64. Nixon's Predicament Vice-President Richard M. Nixon would have a different problem. He's the youngest of the lot, 42. He would have to launch a campaign for the presi dential nomination . rather late In the game. He would do so In expectation of help from Mr. Eisenhower, which he probably would get, one way or another. There is no reason to doubt Nixon's sincerity when he says he-wants Mr. Eisenhower to run again. " Nixon is fairly sure of being on the ticket again, and he has plenty of time. He can wait until 1960. Until Mr. Eis hower definitely takes himself out of it, Nixon can make no move in his own behalf. Sen. William T. Knowland's reaction would be wholly dif ferent. He is 47v Knowland says, and there is no proof that he doera't mean it, that he is for Mr. Eisenhower.; He wants the nomination f or himself if Mr. Eisenhower steps aside. Knowland's " enthusiasm - for Mr. Eisenhower however, is not the hot and jealous emotion of a Latin for her lover. There was a time ' last year and before Shakespeare Festival Technical Head bier Frank Sullivan, Shakespeare Festival technical director last summer, died last week from in juries sustained in a fall at the Bonfils Memorial Theater in Denver, it was learned here to day. . - . . He wa assistant technical dir ector on the staff of the Deliver Civic Theater. The exact nature of the accident is not known here t " Last year was Sullivan's first season at the Festival, and he was to return. . again this sum mer ; as technical director. He had been instrumental during the winter months. ' in laying groundwork for the Festival's future development, particular ly the rebuilding of the . stage and . backstage areas. No plans have been made yet for his re placement next summer. . ' Last summer, -Sullivan was responsible for several improve ments ' and innovations at . the theater. He started. tne.lirst or ganized " "backstage '. " tours for guests, .and acted as guide for them. He also designed and exe cuted -a" set of curtains for the inner below which tell the 1 story of the Wars of the Roses, to be used during the history plays, and laid plans, for. other fi new curtains. He made a com- plete inventory' of festival props and : curtains, made plans .for their' renovation . and comple tion, and started the work which was to be finished this summer. Sullivan is survived by his wife, Mary Lou, and his 3-year- old son Jimmy. Do you find it hard to budget all the clothes your children'rieed for school this winter?

At least he was frigid to the widely touted idea that for the Republican party, Mr. Eisenhower would be the 1956 indispensable man. Baffles GOP Leaders , ; Knowland has many fellow Republicans baffled. He is Re publican Senate leader, yet fre quently has lambasted the ad ministration. Some count him definitely anti - Eisenhower:' He represents the extreme right of the party. His voting record has been quite good. " The hot Eisenhower partisans don't like him-. His unpopularity in the executive departments is tremendous. The fourth Californian is Gov". Goodwin J. Knight, 59, gifted with a tongue that charms and aggressively ambitious. Knight wants to be friends with every body except, possibly, Vice-Pres ident Nixon. Of all Republican governors', he is the one of whom it often is heard that he consid ers himself a natural for the White House if Mr. Eisenhower should step aside. He will lead the big California delegation to the Republican National Con vention. Nevertheless, political oddsmakers count him among Couple Victims Of Brutal Murder Near Bakersfield Bakersfield. Calif. U.R) A 22-year-old man was sought to' day in the double-murder of a man and wife, whose assailant cut their throats, -battered their heads and then drove their car over them. , Authorities isued air all-points bulletin for. a man identified as Donald Wyciskia, who. left the state of Washington Feb.. 1, with the victims, James B.

In addition, a black suitcase which he had. taken with, him on Jhe trip was miss ing from" the'victlms' car. The double slaying ' was dis covered yesterday when the murdered couple's faithful dog, standing vigil in the road beside the car, refused to get out of the way of an approaching automo bile driven by John Craine, Mc Farland. The feet of the victims were sticking out from the car. Besides starting a search for Wyciskia, authorities rounded up all ' hitchhikers in the area for questioning. , Headed for Hollywood Seattle police said the slain couple was headed for Holly wood.

Paul, , who maintained : offices here ,and in New York, had just finished reading a long prepared statement and had answered a few questions when he collap sed. His wife, who was sitting be hind, him as a spectator, rushed to him. The room was cleared of its few spectators and Dr. James L. Keating, an assistant Capitol physician, was called to admin ister emergency treatment to the 6 5-y ear-old lawyer. Keating pronounced Paul dead 20 minutes after the law yer collapsed. Keating said that death apparently resulted from a coronary attack. Paul was the top tax expert of 4he Roosevelt administration. As of today, Nixon seems to have the best chance of being nominated if Mr. Eisenhower does net run. Knowland might be rated second, just ahead of, or third, just behind Gov. Chris tian A.

Deanegelo told po lice he posed as a doctor and talked his victims into 'physical examinations before the attacks. Police checked over parts of his story to see where else he was wanted. He was arrested in a downtown Dallas hotel less than six hours after the rape of the. 11-year-old girl, who picked him out of a police lineup. Police said the man confess ed to rape attacks in Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, Ariz ona and California. However, he said he didn't think he was want ed in many of the places be cause he had - "watched the papers" and could find no re ports of the attacks. .
