GOP Chairman Hall
Sees Republican Victory
On Eisenhower Record
NEW YORK, Gfl—Republican
National Chairman Leonard Hall
says that even if President Eisen
hower does not run in 1956, the
GOP will win with the help of
Ike’s *philosophy, personality, and
the record of his administration.
And if the President should de
cide to seek re-election, Hall said
Monday, he will “sweep the coun
try just as he did four years ago.”
Hall told a “Pulse of the Nation”
luncheon, given by New York’s
National Republican Club, that
only the President could say
whether he will seek re-election.
“We must leave that decision en
tirely to the President himself,”
Hall said.
The Amazon river drains an
area as large as the United States.
