President Truman fully expects
to take the stump in the con-
gressional campaign next year
when the primaries are over and
the chips are down. as he expresses
it. but he is keeping his own coun-
sci about 1852 and the possibility OF
seeking reelection.
The President gave an idea of
his thinking at a news conference
late yesterday. in colloquy
touched off by a question about
the Senatorial race in New York
this fall. But to the blunt ques-
tion as to whether he would run
in 1852. Mr.. Truman responded
with a smile that he'd answer that
when the time comes.
He added somewhat graphically
that he was not in position to
say, as did former President
Coolidge, that he does not choose
to run.
The presidential race angle was
injected by Mr.. Truman's state
ment earlier yesterday when a
member of the Girls Nation
wanted to know her chances about
an ambassadorial appointment five
years from now.
The Chief Executive said that
would be two years after his term
ended, and that he consequently
could make no promises.
A reporter at the news confer
ence recalled that incident and
said it didn't sound as though the
President intended to run again

sound basis, but was made as q
matter of expediency to get the

He also protested that the obli-
cations and liabilities of the 1916
fund were taken over and assumed
by the 1918 fund; that the
age at which pensions would be
granted was reduced from 81 to so
years, with pensions granted to

tributors."

In 1916, the royalty for Great

This fund and all funds of

Mr.. Van Horn added, make the
employees the absolute servants of
the union and makes the union
stand in the position of parent
to its members and makes for
paternalism.
He also charged that it sets up
the union as a "supergovern-
ment" to handle welfare and So

as problems for the State or Gov

lployer already was taxed.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
Of Alabama, during a series of

be passed along to the consumer

amounted to $100, 10000 a year,
no one seemed to have all of the
facts about how the fund oper-
