Nixon fore sees a 1956 presidential race between President Eisen hower and one of three Democratic candidates Adlai E. Stevenson, Gov. Av erell Harriman of New York, or Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. Nixon expressed his views on the national political situation at a pre%? conference after a top secret national securi.y meeting with President Eisenhower. But he em phasized he did not discuss politics with the President. Most Republican leaders, he said, are confident the President will run again and are basing their campaign plans on that assump tion. He predicted a “horse race" for the 1956 Democratic presidential nomination among Stevenson, the 1952 nominee, Harrimah, and Ke fauver. He discounted the tenden cy of ‘'professional politicians” to underestimate the “down to earth vote-getting ability” of Kefauver. \ Nixon told reporters he “never saw the President look better” than he looked yesterday. “I feel he is in tip-top shape both physically and mentally,” he added. he vice president admitted that the OOP may be in serious political , trouble In the farm belt because of •totting enop prices. But he aid be is not pessimistic about it as some people think the Republicans should be He criticized Democratic "pow ers” by saying that Democratic nominating conventions are “much less reponsive to the _ people’s will than those of the Republicans." He flatly dismissed the contro versy over Sen. Joseph R. Mc- Carthy as a campaign Issue in 1966 and predicted the OOP will win because it is "more unified than at any time since 1952.” Nixon’s repudiation of McCarthy, his onetime comm'ttee-mate in the Senate, was the bluntest brushng aside the Wisconsin Republican has receved to date from a toop ranking elected offical of his own party.
