Interpreting News
by Jack Bell
Eight governors and several
senators emerged today as po
tential contenders with Adlai
E. Stevenson for a Democratic
presidential nomination sudden
ly made attractive by the pos
sibility President Eisenhower
may not run again.
- There was a growing belief
Eisenhower, hit by a moderate
heart attack in Denver Satur
day. will not seek nor let him
self be pressured into accept
ing a second term nomination
The development, besides en
hancing the potential value of
the Democratic nomination, left
the Republicans without a str
ongly entrenched candidate for
the GOP nomination. Republi
can talk has been limited large
ly to the hope that Eisenhower
would run again.
Same Republican strategists
saw Vice President Nixon hav
ing the strongest support from
among the state chairmen, gov
ernors and others who make
up the core of the Republican
organization, but they were
not sure Nixon could win the
nomination even with the bless
ing of President Eisenhower.
Chief Justice ttari warren,
former California governor and
a former (presidential aspirant,
made it clear yesterday he has
not changed his mind about re
fusing to run again. He said
last April he would not be a
candidate again “under any cir
cumstamces or conditions, and
gave no indication yesterday
he has weakened.
'His name sprang back into
possible speculation along with
those of former Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey of New York, Gov.
Christian Herter of Massachu
setts, secretary of the treasury
Humphrey, Sen. Dirksen of 111
inois and two Californians who
might cause Nixon trouble in
his home state — Gov. Good
win J. Knight and Sen. William
F. Knowiand,• minority senate
leader.
Some Democrats saw the pos
Silbility of Eisenhower’s with
drawal as strengthening Steven
son’s candidacy; though it touch
ed off backstage activity by a
covey of potential Democratic
favorite son candidates.
In losing to Eisenhower in
1952, Stevenson polled more
than 27 million votes, the se
cond highest total than any oth
•r member of Ms party had
ever assembled in a presidenti
al election.
ISome Democratic strategists
reasoned that if Stevenson
could register suich strength a
glainst Eisenhower, he might
be expected to win a contest
against any other Republican.
The National Security Coun
cil, top policy making group on
hot and cold war strategy, as
sumes even greater import
ance during President Eisen
hower’s illness.
The president, by law, is
chairman of the council. Other
memibers include:
Vice President Nixon, who
will preside at council meet
ings in Eisenhower’s absence.
Secretary of State Dulles.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
Arthur S. Flemming, direct
or of the Office of Defense
Mobilization.
In addition, Dillon Anderson,
the president’s special assistant
for national security affairs,
is responsible for the council’s
day-to-day operations.
Membership previously in
cluded the director of the for
eign operations administration
whose economic aid functions
have now been taken over by
the international cooperation
administration. Harold E. Stas
;en, former FOA director, fre
quently attends meetings as
; the president’s special assist
j ant on disarmament,
j Other top civilians and mili
tary leaders also are often ask
ed to sit in on council sessions
