By WILLIAM CONWAY CHICAGO, Dec. 1 UP) President Eisenhower's plan to take a hand in the 1956 election campaign today raised Republican hopes that he will run for. a second term. Reaction of GOP leaders to the President's announcement ranged from uncertainty about the role he will play to a firm belief that he will be a candidate.

The President's message to the Republican National Committee contained this key paragraph: "You have a splendid record to submit to the voters in 1956. I personally am proud of Republican achievements for the peace and the prosperity and security of the American people. I shall do everything in my power next year to help you report the record accurately and fully to the country." The telegram was read by Chairman Leonard W. Hall at a meeting of the National Committee. Member rose "to their feet and applauded.

Some of them cheered. The Associated Press asked committee members for their interpretation of the President's announce ment that he will join in the Republican battle to keep possession of the White House and regain eontrol of Congress. 'I think he will take an active part in the campaign for his own re-election," said Morton H. Hol- ingsworth, Illinois state chairman. 'I think he will be a candidate." Harry Darby, committeeman for Kansas, put it this "I think he will be a candidate and will be re-elected." Ralph F.

Gates, Indiana's committeeman, suggested it is "too early" to say just what part the President will play. But he added: f' If he continues his recovery from a Sept. 24 heart attack), he will be the candidate." Gov! Theodore R. McKeldin of Maryland said he believes the President will do all he can to "report" and "continue" the record of this administration. "I believe," he went on, "that if he is convinced he is the man Greatest Christmas story ever told Forced to spend Christmas Eve i on a train, Jerome Weidman 5was feeling sorry for himself.

Bradley, airman first class. THE YOUNG LAD who acted as weather man recently on the WCOV-TV evening weather report was Tom Lyons Fisher, 3705 Dalraida Parkway. The televison station and the Montgomery Public Library have had numerous calls and letters from people wf.o wanted to know the identity of the youth. Tom, 13, is an eighth grade student at Capitol Heights Junior High School, and something of an amateur weather forecaster. The weather station he assembled is set up in his back yard.

From its instruments, he takes a twice a day reading of the local high and low temperatures, amount of rainfall, and barometric pressure. He then compares his figures with weather temperatures quoted in The Advertiser, and the reports from WCOV, Tom had never been on televison until one day in November when he was a guest on two programs in the same day. He took part on the weekly program, Library Lady, at 2:15, talking with his mother, Mrs. Dixie Lou Fisher, head librarian at the Montgomery Public Library, about hobbies, and demonstrating his weather station. Ed Brown, announcer at WCOV-TV, caught the show, and promptly asked young Fisher to be on his program that evening at 6:40.

Introduced as "probably the best amateur weatherman in the State," Tom gave the day's temperatures from cities all over the country, pointing them out Jon the weather map, then announced the forecast for Alabama. Viewers, expecting to see Ed Brown as usual, were startled to see instead this very young man who seemed quite confident that he knew what he was talking about. THINGS TO COME: Look for a Christmas business in Montgom ery stores to break all previous records. Only last week the Union Bank and Trust Co. released thousands on thousands of dollars in Christmas savings funds and the merchants are now feeling the effect of these savings being spent for Christmas items.

Interesting sights: The number of people who spend time. in the archives building looking up their family trees. People commenting on the mailboxes being red, white and blue. It is a national pattern ordered by the Post Office Department. The appearance of so many redbirds in Montgomery at this time of the year.

POLICE REPORTS Champ Pickens, Jefferson Davis Hotel, told police an overcoat was Stolen 'from, his room Monday night. It wasn't his coat, said Pickens it was one the dry cleaner mistakenly sent to him. Two youngsters were charged i. larceny of $10 in dimes from Nick's Bait Shop, 326 N. Hull St.

The operator of the business said the two boys Were helping him in the store. Police said Mary Thomas' 642 Columbia told them she was hurt when the bus she was riding swerved to miss a car and threw her to the floor. Her injuries re portedly included bruises of the left arm, shqulder, and DeWitt Thrasher, 1137 Cleveland driving a pickup truck ott Bell street, fell asleep, said police, and lost control. The truck sheared off a power pole and turned over "about" three times. Thrasher was charged with reckless driving.

Negro Jailed Here For 'Overlooking' Bus Segregation A Montgomery Negro woman was arrested by city police last night for ignoring a bus driver who directed her to sit in the rear of the bus. The woman, Rosa Parks, 634 Cleveland was later released under $100 bond. Bus operator J. F. Blake, 27 N.

Lewis in notifying police, said a Negro woman sitting in the section reserved for whites refused to move to the Negro When Officers F. B. Day and D. W. Mixon arrived where the bus was halted on Montgomery street, they confirmed the driver's reporC Blake signed the warrant for her arrest under a section of the City Code that gives police powers to bus drivers in the enforcement of segregation aboard buses.

1 Rep. Clarence Brown of Ohio said nobody knows what the Presi dent will do, but added that the statement "could mean he expects to be a candidate and if not a candidate, to do what he can to elect the Mrs. Katherine Kennedy Brown, Ohio's committeewoman, said, "We are-all hopeful he will run." The President, commented Chairman Hall, "says he will lead." Eisenhower in his telegram, told the party leaders, "We must not stand still." He added: "Continued progress in the healthy expansion of our economy. even more equitable sharing of the productivity of that economy rising levels of health, education and welfare for all, and untiring search for a just and enduring peace, must remain our goals The committee finished its two- day task of laying the groundwork for next year's GOP nominating convention and campaign, and it listened to a series of speeches pegged to the theme that Ameri-cans "never had it so good." The convention, opening Aug. 20, in San Francisco's Cow Palace, will have 1,323 delegates compared with 1,206 in 19E2 an increase of 117.

With the same number of al ternates, the total will be 2,646. Democrats, who will open their convention Aug. 13 in Chicago, have authorized a maximum total of 4,650 delegates and alternates. Sinclair Weeks, secretary of commerce and one of the day's battery of speakers, predicted the Republicans will "Sweep" to victory next November because Americans "never had it so good and are in no mood for a change." He said prosperity, now at rec ord peaks, will rise to even higher levels in the first six months of 1956." Economic growth wilkcon. tinue thereafter, be added, if sound policies are maintained.

James P. Mitchell, secretary of labor, told a luncheon session that "The American working man nev er had it so good." He said more people than ever before are working in this country, and added: "They are making more money. Their money buys more than ever before because prices have r- mained virtually steady for two years. The past two years have seen more harmony in labor-man. agement relations than any similar period since the end of World War 7..

Ezra T. Benson, secretary of agriculture fired, a verbal shotgun at Democrats who have been trying to make political hay in the field of declining farm prices. Democrats, he said, are "popping up all over the place with quack remedies and discarded nos trums." Committee members approved a resolution saluting President Eisenhower for "inspiring leadership which is unparalleled history. They pledged "a precinct crusade for victory in 1956."

Montgomery always has been a city of beautiful homes because of its streets lined with beautiful trees. It never got the ultra commercial look of other cities because of these trees. But today in outlying sections of the city, new homes are being built by the dozens and most of the land is barren of trees. What hap- ens when a homeowner moves in'! They purchase, grass, buy shrub bery to put next to the house and nurture these with extreme care but they leave the yards as slick looking as Dexter Avenue paving without a tree in sight Montgomery needs a "Plant A Tree" week or a city club to promote the planting of trees so that in years to come there will not be the flat outlying areas with only a tree here and there. Lucien Lceb of Weil Brothers was talking about the need for more trees.

He said the cost of trees is less than the cost of shrubbery and that long-time Montgomerians, such as himself, can't imagine the city as anything except tree covered. It's a wonderful idea, this tree planting campaign Which brings up another comment heard yesterday. A Montgomery woman was overheard talking -about the city's "We're On The Go; and commented that the slogan was very poor because it shows a strain to express progress. She said that industrialists today areoCl looking for peppy towns filled with dynamos but cities where living and working conditions are outstanding. She suggested that visiting industrialists would be more appreciatve of- a slogan like "Montgomerians Are Happy An elderly man on TV was asked if he voted for Gov Folsom and he replied that he had but wouldn't do it again.

He was asked if he was fighting the gov erhor but the old man said the newspapers and critics of Fol som ought to leave him alone. "1 read in the paper about his grocery bill being more that $2,000 and if you leave him alone, he will just plain eat himself to death.
