GOP Leaders Convinced ike To Run In '56 West Coast Choice Seen Indication Os GOP Convictions ~ WASHINGTON (INS) — Selection us San Francisco for the 1956 GOP convention indicated in political circles today that administration strategists have the stage set to run both "Ike and Dick” for second terms. The sequence of events leading up to designation of the convention city confirmed speculation that top party leaders are now convinced President Eisenhower will accept renomination. It also furnished evidence that: 1. Vice President Richard M. Nixon is probably a sure bet for renomination. He is a Californian and neither the President nor his advisers would be expected to stage anything but a political endorsement of his first term in his home state —despite local rivalries. " 2. Pro-Eisenhower leaders in the GOP, presumably. with the President's approval, are ready to deal more harshly with anti-ike, rightwing Republicans who challenge his leadership publicly. The national committee meeting

•t which San Francisco's 11th hour bid won the convention honor from Chicago and Philadelphia displayed the latter trend. First, Republican national chairman Leonard W. Hall set the tone of the meeting by publicly repudiating Republicans who “grumble" and “didsent” in opposition to the administration program. His words were plainly aimed at the anti-ike Republicans who critised the administration last Saturday in a Lincoln rally at Chicago. Second, the committee picked San Francisco, even though the Republicans would have saved money and travel by going to Chicago. which the Democrats already had selected. Part of the reason was resentment of Democratic arrangement tactics but there was also a desire to get out of anti-Eisenhower Republican territory. Third, the committee unanimously adopted' an all-out. laudatory resolution of thanks to the President which amounted to a secondterm endorsement. That the opposition of ultra-conservatives had collapsed was indicated in part by the fact that it was introduced by ex-Sen. C. Wayland Brooks, national committeeman from Illinois. The highlight of Thursday’s session was a luncheon meeting of the committee with President Eisenhower at which the Chief Executive combined a strong GOP testimonial with a rebuke for party speakers who have berated the Democrats as “the party of treason.” Mr. Eisenhower said: "Ourgreat [enemy is the Communists. Our ’ great struggle today is a free

world against a dictator world. Our greatest enemy Is not the Democrats. “We certainly know that we can't have better allies when we are fighting anybody from abroad. So let's rememebr that, and as I talk, let's not build up a picture that the worst enemy anyone can have is a Democrat. “Far from it. We just don't think they can do as good a job as we do. As a matter of fact, we know it.” It is an open secret that Hall and some White House advisers favored the west coast choice from the beginning. —■ ■ -... Once San Francisco Mayor Elmer Robinson began moving, he burned up the wires between the Golden Gate city and the nation’s capital Hall said Robinson start ed out with a guarantee from the city of only 1100,000, and in less than a week upped this to the ♦250,000 which both Chicago and Philadelphia had bid. Privately, eve* Republicans from the losing cities were not unhappy. They have been going to Chicago and Philadelphia since 1040. The prospect of a “streamlined" convention in cool Ban Francisco starting the week of Aug. 20, 1956 looked attractive, once it was settled. Nixon Proceeding On Heavy Schedule Vice President Is Plagued By Cold' TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (INS) —Vice President Richard M. Nixon proceeded doggedly through his heavy schedule today despite a developing deep chest cold and a pronounced hoarseness. The vice president, in the second day of his visit to Honduras, has been taking pills and medication but has shown no signs of curtailing the furious pace of his Caribbean tour. He told newsmen Thursday night that under such conditions a person had to continue “or wou would land in bed.” Nixon s arrival in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa Thursday was the occasion for a reception described as the warmest ever ex-tended a visiting dignitary. President Julio Losano greeted Nixon at the airport. Thousands of persons lined the streets between the airport and the presidential palice to gree Nixon.

Youth Confesses To Brutal Murder * Released Recently From Reform School PONTIAC, Mich. (INS)— A 16-year-old deviate, released two months ago from a refrom school after showing what psychiatrists called “surprising improvement,” Thursday night admitted he stabbed and beat a nine-year-old neighbor when she resented his liberties. The youth, Floyd Diamond, confessed he lured Kathleen McLaughlin to a wooded skating pond near her home in fashionable Franklin Knolls, a suburban Detroit community of 165 large ranch dwellings. -- There, Diamond coldly and calmly admitted, he stabbed her repeatedly, tossed her body through the ice of a shallow pond, then, when she stood up and pleaded, “please don’t hit me with that,” struck her with a rock until she fell back, silent, into the water. Diamond told prosecutor Fred Ziem he Jtjjpped back to- his home; four blocks from Kathy’s changed his_ bloody clothing and sat down to a hearty dinner of dumplings and sauerkraut. After he had helped his mother with the dishes, the youth said he returned to the McLaughlin home, where by this time a frantic search was underway. Until a year ago, the McLaughlins lived in Cincinnati, Ohio. The boy had been an immediate suspect, bat alibied while the search went on. Kathy's father. John, 42, and two neighbors found the body. The father frantically tried artificial respiration, then sobbingly carried her body home. By this time, officers had picked up Diamond for questioning. When state police detectives found the youth's blood-stained denims stuffed under his bed. Diamond confessed. He was lodged for the night as a juveniie in the Oakland county children's home and Ziem said he will seek waivers so that the youth can be prosecuted as an adult.
