four years. Hell change his mind unless he

never seen before in politics.
Meantime, while the President ponders
his tremendous and lonely decision. there are
certain signs to watch for. They may indi-
cate which way Ike is likely to move:
1. A build-up. with plenty Of White House
assistance, Of a likely successor. This would
Indicate Eisenhower plans to step down. An
example, which seems somewhat unlikely at
the present, would be the appointment Of
New Yrks ex- Governor Thomas e. Dewey
to an important post. More likely would be
the assignment Of increasingly important
duties to Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
Z. Success Of his program in Congress. Ike

During the reconstruction last year. the
