C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 15, 1955 Report On Ike Brings More Speculation WASHINGTON (IP) Doc tors’ reports that President, Eisenhower should ease his work load touched off new Republican speculation to day as to whether the Presr ident will seek reelection. GOP viewpoints about Mr. Eisen hower's political plans seem to be running roughly along tile line* that divided the party in 1952. Most of the recent public and prf* vate forecasts that the President will run again have come from men who have been regarded as all out supporters of Mr. Eisenhower. With no obvious explanation, disbelief appears to be running in much greater proportion among' GOP politicians not closely tied to, the Elsenhower wing of the party. For more than a monlji, there has been a steady upswing in ex pressed hopes or beliefs that Mr. Elsenhower will run again. Evi dence supporting these views, if it exists, ha* not been disclosed. ADMIT WISHFUL THINKING Some Republicans admit wishful thinking may be a factor; others say the President is facing an un finished job as a world leader, other* I concede they Just have a ■fgjtf that he will Those who remain unconvinced are expressing their opinion only in private. Some are suspicious of a plot among White House lieuten ants, encouraging hopes of a sec ond Elsenhower candidacy to dis courage moves by other possible Candidate. On the other side of the political fence, New ybric Democratic lead er Carmine DeSapio predicted the Democratic presidential nominee In 1966 will recapture the “Sold , South” and toe elected—even if Mr. Eisenhower runs. ’ CITES DEMOCRATIC GAINS The Tammany chief, who is. pushing Gov.
