According to a California DEM
ocrat who might know, President
Truman has been thinking about
the 1852 presidential election.
George Luckey, Los Angeles,
vice-chairman Of the California
Democratic central committee, has
reported that he put the question
up to the President during a White
House visit and got maybe so"
for an answer.
HE said maybe so,'" Luckey
told reporters. HE said that if we
have the same team together
again, maybe we a do some
thing"
Luckey said by team" the Pres
ident meant those who supported
him in 1948.
While MI. Truman has never
declared openly that he would be
a candidate for reelection in 1852,
he has never fatty ruled out the
possibility.

Stock Market Drifts
Moderately Lower
In Quiet Dealings
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Moder-
ate selling pressure was enough to
lower stock prices fractions to
around a point today.
The market started to move
lower soon after an inconclusive
opening. The decline was jerky,
though, and occasionally halted
by only a small pickup in demand.
Turnover was comparatively
small although swollen a bit at
lively opening when numerous
large blocks of stock appeared on
the ticker tape.
The downtrend was a resump-
ton of a movement that started
yesterday morning and which was
interrupted by the Presidents
message to Congress on taxes.
Many traders were inclined to
take it easy pending Congressional
action on the Presidents pro-
posals.
Also helping to clamp down on
activity was the uncertainty re-
garding coal production. A strike
by nearly 100000 coal miners, plus
the three-day week which others
are following, are eating heavily
into the coal reserves of many
numerous companies.
Lower prices were paid for
United Sttaes Steel. General Mo-
tors. Chrysler (the company is
faced with the possibility of a
strike), j. I. Case, Douglas Air
craft, Schenley. Zenith, American
Telephone. Eastman Kodak, Amer
lean Can. General Electric. Santa
Fe, Southern Pacific, Gulf Oil and
hnS-Manville.
American Woolen was one of
the few strong spots.

BARTLETT SAYS $600,000 FUND
 IS AVAILABLE

At press-time, it appeared like ly that all-winter operation of the Richardson Highway over Thomp- sons Pass is a certainty. How ever Ben Stewart of the local Alaska Road Commission office said he had not yet been in formed definitely that the road will be maintained on a year round basis.
 A hearing scheduled for next week, to determine the advis- ability of maintaining the road for winter traffic, was cancelled early this week. The reason giv- en for the cancellation was that sufficient funds are available for the maintenance of the road.
 Earlier, Delegate E. L. Bob" Bartlett had advised that an al lotment of $6O0,OOO is available for use for Thompson's Pass main tenance during the winter. Ear Her estimates had placed the cost of road maintenance this winter at a minimum $400,000.
 Col. John Moves, head of the Alaska Road Commission, had reported in mid-June that he con- sidered the year-round mainten- ance of the Richardson Highway a practical project. Studies of last winters operation led him to conclude that most of the pres ent maintenance equipment would do, but that shelter cabins which housed crews last winter would have to be of sturdier construc- ton. Last winters test operation met comparatively mild weather conditions.
 Colonel Moves found that ap- proximately 30,000 tons of freight moved from Valdez over the Rich ardson Highway to interior points and to the Anchorage area, dur ing last winters operations.
