THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 11, 1966 PAGE THREE Ike's Recovery Cheers GOP; Dems Ponder Harriman Entry By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Republicans took comfort from cheering medical reports on President Eisenhower today, while Democrats considered the effect of Gov. Averell Harrlman's weekend entry In the presidential sweepstakes. There was no hint from Elsen- hower himself on how his sudden intestinal blockage and speedy surgery might affect the decision to run again made after recovering from his Sept. 24 heart attack Republicans seized on a medical forecast of "rapid and complete recovery" as an indication Eisenhower would lead the party again. Democrats expressed happiness at the apparent success of the operation, but some took up the "part- time President" theme again.

Stevenson Not Surprised Harriman abandoned his self- styled "not an active" candidate status. The front running candidate for the Democratic nod, Adlai Stevenson, said Harriman's entry was no surprise to him. Stevenson said Harriman "has been an eager and active candidate since last fall The chief surgeon at Eisenhower's predawn emergency operation, Maj. Gen. Leonard D.

Heaton, said he "certainly" saw no reason Eisenhower should not run again. Sen. Mundt (R-SD) called It "great news I don't think there is the slightest doubt he will be nominated again and that he will win in November," Sen. Kerr (D-Okla) expressed hopes for a speedy recovery, then added: "The country has suffered enough under a part-time chief executive. We know we cannot hope for security and stability in the future on such a basis Foes Are "Fine There were indications Eisenhower would refrain from any quick statement on whether he will tell the American people "instantly" if he ever feels he is not up to another four years ha the presidency.

Harriman declined to criticize or discuss his Democratic opponents --Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver. He described both as "fine men." Harriman told his questioners he felt he -would a better candidate for the Democrats because he could "give the kind of leadership necessary to win" not only the election but the war of ideas with communism. Senate Post In other weekend developments, Sen. Wfley R-WIs) said he has "no other desire or ambition" but to remain in the Senate.

Wiley was rebuffed by a homestate GOP convention which endorsed Rep Glenn Davis for the Senate seat lasr; month. Wiley denied what he naid were Washington reports that he would abandon the race for a judgeship or ambassadorial post. The veteran Wiley is an ardent supporter of the Eisenhower administration. In Chicago, the Socialist party renominated its 1952 candidates-Darlington Hoopes of Reading, for president and 5 H. Friedman of New York for vice president.

Sketches By BEN BURROUGHS "HURT YESTERDAYS" I do believe and always will that we should put away the fears and tears that came to pass when it was yesterday I am convinced beyond a doube that once a grief is done we're better off forgetting It to view a brighter sun of course, at times, we do regret what happened in the past but memory just serves to make the pain and torment last the only thing for us to do is profit from mistakes by doing this we live and learn to detour mental breaks for those who dwell on things gone by are on a bumpy track if only they would realize the past cannot come back the present looms before us we face its grueling so we should bury yesterdays because it's for the best.
