Truman Rejected Again

NEW YORK (LPA) - Hat
ters Union-AFL President Max
Zaritsky, and N. Y. CIO Presl-
dent Louis Hollander brought
out into the open the fear OF
much of organized labor that
Harry S. Truman can't be re-
elected. Like veterans, Demo-
cratic politicians, anti-Commun-
ist liberals, they began casting
around for an alternative De-
candidate for the Pre-
sidency. Some ex-GPs thought
last week that they could persu-
ade Gen. Dwight Eisenhower to
carry the Democratic flag in
the November elections. Others,
favorable to an ike"
ticket were worried lest he
spurn the Democratic boom as
he did the Republican rumors
last winter.
