Forecast by 6. 0. P.
BY the Assoeiated Press

TULSA. Okla. May IA de-
termined bid by Gov. Earl War
rem of California for the 1852 Re-
publican presidential nomination
was forecast by party leaders to-
day.
With Republican National Com
|mittee members returning to their
homes after winding up confer
|ence here with weekend blasts at
the Truman administration, Chair
man Guy G. Gabrielson said the
committee may meet next Janu-
|ary in California to complete
plans for its July presidential
nominating convention in Chi
|cago.
Although Gov. Warren was not
represented at the Tulsa meeting
by any active campaigners such
as those who buttonholed dele
gates for Senator Taft of Ohio
and former Gov. Harold E. Stas-
sen of Minnesota, the California
Governors name got frequent
mention in lobby talk as a possi-
BILE presidential candidate.
Warren Has Been Silent.
In previous years Gov. Warren
has shied away from any active
drive for the nomination. He
wound up in 1948 on the vice
presidential end of a ticket headed
by Gov. Dewey Of New York,
Gov. Dewey has taken himself
out of the presidential bidding
and announced his support for
Gen. Eisenhower, who apparently
would become a. candidate only if
he were offered one of the major
party nominations in a draft"
move.
Gov. Warren has been conspic-
uously silent on his choice for the
top spot in 1852. Some of his
friends say this is because the
Californian may have decided
that next year is the time for him
to go after the prize in an all-out
drive.
Previously. because he has won
on both Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets in California; S cross
voting. Gov Warren has kept him.
self aloof from many of the Re-
publican Party strategy moves.
There were reports he discouraged
attempts to hold the spring meet
ling of the COP National Commit
tee in California and it went to
Tulsa as second choice.
Would Have Solid Support.
If the national group goes to
|the War West in January, the ac-
Ition would focus attention on the
California Governors candidacy
There are indications the meeting
will be at San Francisco the third
week in January.
Gov. Warren undoubtedly will
have the solid support of the Cali
fornia delegation at the Chicago
nominating convention. That
State will have added strength as
Ia result Of congressional redis-
tricting which will affect the al
location of 1852 convention voting
totals. ~ ,... :
Warren men are said to be cam
vasing the situation among the
IL Far Western States, with in
dications that something resem-
bling bloc vote may be available
to the California Governor from
that area.
May Be Compromise Choice.
Most Of the Republican Ma
|tional Committee members seem
to think the race for the party
nomination lies between Senator
Taft and Gen. Eisenhower, with
Gen. Macarthur given almost no
chance to win the nomination he
says he isn't seeking anyway.
However. a committeeman who
is opposed to the choice of Gov.
Warren, told reporter he, is not
discounting the California Gov
Iernor's appeal as a possible COM
promise candidate.
Gov. Warren probably would be
acceptable to the wing of the
party represented by Gov. Dewey.

sylvania; Senator Morse, Repub-
lican. Of Oregon, and others who
like to be classified as among
the party's liberals"
