Democratic campaign operatives privately predict Eisenhower's heart illness could hurt his 1956 bid and boost Adlai E. Stevenson. They say a weakened President would tilt the race to Stevenson, with GOP hopefuls for Congress weakened without the President's coattails. Harriman may also gain if the illness underscores the job's demands.
