Pennsylvanian Urged To Run By Eisenhower WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Republican presidential outlook appeared more uncertain than ever today with the announce ment that Pennsylvania Gov. William W. Scranton may be come an active candidate for the nomination. Scranton disclosed in Harris burg, Pa., over the weekend that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower had urged him to run. The governor said he was giving the suggestion "deep thought" but was still dis inclined to become an active candidate. Eisenhower recently suggest ed that Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. ambassador to Viet Nam, also deserved consideration. And Richard M. Nixon, the 1960 Republican nominee, also h been a recent visitor to the former President's Gettysburg, Pa., office. GOP leaders believe that Ei senhower is cool toward Sen Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., al though he has pledged himself to support whoever is nominat ed by the Republicans next year. Goldwater In Front Goldwater, who is not a de clared candidate, is still far in front of the field in terms of potential delegate strength at the GOP convention. But Republican leaders have been quietly reappraising their prospects since the death of President Kennedy. Goldwater is judged to be a weaker can didate against President John son than he might have been against Kennedy. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York is the only an nounced candidate. But few Re publicans can regard him as a likely winner of the nomination until and unless he defeats an other major candidate in a state primary. Since Kennedy's assassina tion, Republicans have looked toward Nixon and Scranton as the strongest potential rivals of Goldwater Nixon as a man close to the center of the GOP and Scranton as a representa tive of the liberal action. Needs Massive Buildup Scranton is viewed as a sort of "Republican Kennedy," a youthful, handsome Ivy Leaguer a millionaire with charm and tested appeal in a big industrial state. But to make him a na tional figure, a massive buildup must start soon. The governor told newsmen that Eisenhower urged him Dec. 15 to consider becoming a can didate. "lie said the national scene now was such that he felt that a number of persons thought I should be the candidate and he thought that I ought to give a good deal of thought to this matter," Scranton said. While sticking his toe in the water, the governor again de nied that he is a candidate and said he knew of no national or state movement to launch a campaign for him. ' UMmm Jfe J Kennedy Death Gloom Endures DALLAS, Tex. (UPD-Snow, cold, flowers and contrite pil grims today hovered over the spot where President Kennedy was slain 31 days ago.

It was reported Sunday that the federal budget to be sent to Congress next month calls for defense spending of more than $50 billion in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The cur rent estimated military outlay is $51 billion. The major budget controver sy will be laid before the Presi dent by the Joint Chiefs of Staff at a scheduled meeting Dec. 30 at the LBJ Ranch in Texas. It concerns future pur chases of the solid-fuel Minute man missile. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and his staff be lieve the Air Force needs 1,200 of the intercontinental rockets by mid-Hlfi9. Gen. Curtis E. LcMay, Air Force chief of staff, wants 1,950 by the same period.

The construction at Yale Rap ids and Hells Gate is to protect sockeye salmon runs, which are jeopardized by the coincidence of heavy fish migrations and seasonal river flood levels. The assurances were to Sens. Warren Magnuson and Henry Jackson, both D - Wash., and Sen. E. L. Bartlett, D-Alaska. vive a surprise ICBM attack and still destroy targets in Rus sia. The final budget session also will permit the President to ex amine Pentagon plans to trim money requests for new army weapons by as much as $1 bil lion under the current year's $3.2 billion. Other big money cuts for the new defense budget are being aimed at weapons for the stra tegic retaliatory forces. With no more bombers being built and the heaviest missile ex penditures behind it, the Penta gon has sharply cut new mon ey in the strategic field. By the end of the year, the U.S. ballistic missile force will comprise 691 operational weap ons on land and undersea 123 Atlas, 108 Titan, 300 Minutemen and 160 submarine-launched Po laris. The immediate issue is whether to buy an additional 50 or 150 Minutemen missiles dur ing the next fiscal year. Circus Roustabout Killed by Lions RHEIMS, France (UPD Rene Orange, 33, a circus roustabout, was clawed to death by four lions Sunday when he entered their cage to show a friend that they were harmless. Orange stroked one of the lions through the bars of the cage, and she licked his hand. He then entered the cage and the animals mauled him to death. Wreaths still were on both sides of the street where, in 6.2 seconds, a sniper squeezed off three shots into the President and Texas Gov. John Connally. The curious and mourners still come. An unidentified woman and her teen-aged daughter, dressed in black, knelt in the snow Sun day to lay a wreath near the spot. Many bowed their heads in prayer. The weather has changed from a balmy, sunlighted 68 de grees Nov. 22 to a sub-freezing, snowy pre-uhristmas gloom. Dallas, aware of the futility of grieving, braved the slippery footing that followed the trag edy and worked to redeem it self. The Methodist churches of Dallas started a "100 days of love" campaign. Bishop William C. Martin urged citizens in full page newspaper ads to "carry the spirit of Christmas chanty, good will, love into the new year." This conservative, Republican city felt a political change. The Dallas Morning News said Sun day: "On Nov. 22, ironically, it suddenly became socially ac ceptable to be a Democrat. "Although there is little doubt the GOP is still the stronger or ganizing force in the county, the ever-present hand of fate already has begun etching signs of change." Christmas decorations in tha city were gay, but there were reports that retail sales wera off. "1 guess it was partly the warm autumn," one merchant said, "and that terrible thing."
