burned up more than four million
dollars worth of crude oil and with

With such expense items the profits

Douglas Would Run
IfGiven Nomination,
Intimates Believe
Bv Robert S. Allen
North An,srieon Newspaper AlIienes

Supreme Court Justice Douglas
would run for President If he were
nominated by the Democratic con-
vention.
He is prepared to resign from
the bench for that purpose.
However, the 49-year-old liberal
will not accept second place on the
Democratic ticket. Justice Douglas
will not be running mate to any
one. He has twice turned down such
an offer from President Truman.
The first was last winter and the
second last month, shortly before
Justice Douglas left for Oregon for
his annual summer rest from the
bench. He told the President that
he was not interested in the vice
presidency. He said that if he left
the Supreme Court it would be only
II the job assured him continued
important activity.
Won't Seek Nomination.
Within the last 4S hours, Justice
Douglas has privately discussed the
muddled Democratic situation with
several intimates by long distance
phone from his summer cottage in |
a small town in Oregon.
On the basis of these telephone |
discussions, Justice Douglas views
regarding the Democratic presiden-
tial race can be stated authorita-
lively to be as follows:
He will do nothing personally to
oppose President Truman and will
personally do nothing in any way to
seek the Democratic nomination.
On the other hand, he will do moth
ing to halt his friends from seeking
it for him. Within the confines OF
his high judicial position and re-
sponsibility, they are free to cam
paign for him.
Would Quit Court at Once.
If nominated for the presidency,
Justice Douglas Is prepared to re-
sign Immediately from the Supreme
Court. In doing that, he would be
following the precedent set by for
mer Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, who quit the bench follow
ing his nomination as the RepubI-
can standard bearer in 1915.
Justice Douglas made clear to his
friends that in presenting his name
before the convention, they must
do so without in any way soft
pedaling his firm views on civil
liberties, nor any Of his liberal con-
victions. He Is leader Of the
militant liberal bloc on the Supreme
Court, and stands squarely on his
record and beliefs.
Justice Douglas recently summed
up his underlying viewpoint in a
speech in Denver, in which he
called for an enlightened policy
both in national and foreign affairs.
