A little warmer weather

of the country today after a
brief chilly spell.
The biggest rises in temper

at Grand Marais, Miah., 25
degrees above yesterday morn

Temperatures over wide ar

higher elevations of the Rock

The likelihood remained
that memlbers of the presi

stand aside in 1956. For that
matter, it seems quite likely
they won’t need to urge him.
Eisenhower himself said in
August the state of his health
would be a factor in his decis

One step in the slow recov

to win the World Series from
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The first game is scheduled
for the Yankee Stadium at 12
noon, EST, tomorrow, and
Stengel may not decide on his
lineup until 11:59.
“ I don’t know what my in
field or my outfield is going to
be,” rasped Stengel, “and I
won’t know until just before
the game. All I know is that I
hlave a couple of startling pitch
ers ready — Wlhitey Ford for
the first game and Tommy
Byrne for the second.”
i The forecast is for rain all
day tomorrow, and possibly
Thursday, too. lit the opener is
postponed, the elements would
work in favor of the Yanks be
cause Mickey Mantle’s ailing
leg would have additional time
to heal.
At the moment, Mantle, the
j Yanks’ leading batter and home
run hitter, is far from optimis
j tic. In fact, if the first game
goes on as scheduled, he pro
ably won’t start.
James C. Hagerty, Eisen

the request to Washington
Sunday. But he said yesterday
there is no need for a quick
reply.
Has'ertv added that vice
president Nixon and Eisenhow

the press secretary put it,
“There is nothing in the im

anything that amounts to dele

were: 3. Georgia Tech; 4 Notre
