Speculation on Ike 1956 Plans sparks ethics order
A new wave of speculation on President Eisenhower's 1956 plans followed a White House move to set high ethical standards for government paid consultants and advisory roles. The executive order targets “WOC” aides, requiring conduct standards while clarifying that presidency decisions remain with official channels. Republican Leonard Hall and Sen. Kefauver weighed in, noting overdue steps to align consultants with federal rules. The article cites a meeting with the press and references to Gettysburg, Capitol Hill discussions, and indicates Ike may run again if able, though no firm schedule was announced.
