Washington reports that Republicans expect no public endorsement from President Eisenhower if he does not seek reelection. Yet insiders say his private actions could steer the GOP nomination to a strong supporter of his program, with a decision possible by December or January. Some believe he might run despite illness to defend world peace and administration aims. Senator Frank Carlson avoided predicting a run but said the president could win easily if he chose to run.
