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.

nomination. 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.

governors', he is the one of whom
it often is heard that he consid

oddsmakers count him among
Couple Victims

day in the double-murder of a
man and wife, whose assailant
cut their throats, -battered their

tion as to the whereabouts of
Wyciskia. 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. Wyciskia - was reported
riding with them to Hollywood,
from where he planned to go to
Georgia. ; r ' ' " -
. Coroner Stanley Newman of
Bakersfield said the couple ap
parently was bludgeoned with a
hatchet.. The cutting edge of the
weapon was used to- cut their
throats, he said. Investigating
highway patrolmen and sheriff's
deputies, could not find the death
weapon. : '.. .. . .-'

Paul was the top tax expert

As of today, Nixon seems to
have the best chance of being
nominated if Mr. Eisenhower

be rated second, just ahead of,

Police identified the 20-year-old
salesman as Joseph Deane

Brooklyn. 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

Mexico, Louisiana, Missouri,
Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, Ariz

said he didn't think he was want
