Democrat Senators Say
Eisenhower’s Talk
Indicates He’ll Run Again
WASHINGTON, (AV-Sen. Kerr
OD-Okla) said Tuesday that Presi
dent Eisenhower is “acting more
like a candidate and less like a
statesman every day.”
Kerr said Eisenhower’s obser
vation Sunday that older folks are
being required to retire too early
indicates to him the President is
thinking about running again.
Sen. Jenner (R-dnd) said in a
separate interview he gained
something of the same sort of im
pression from the President’s re
marks, made during a tour of the
temporary Air Force Academy at
Lowery Air Force Base, Denver.
Eisenhower, who will be 65 on
October 14, has given no public
indication of his 1956 plans. Sen.
Bender quoted him last Aug. 3 as
telling an Ohio delegation that no
President ever has reached his
70th year in the White House. The
President indicated at a news
conference next day both his
health and the world situation
next year would be factors in his
decision.
