Political Deals With
Truman for 1852
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 17.-Gen. Eisen-
hover denied tonight that Presi-
dent Truman ever mentioned to
him any political possibilities of
1852"
The statement, issued through
an official spokesman, was in re-
sponse to inquiries about a story
by Merrill Mueller, NBC commen-
tator, saying President Truman
made deal with Gen. Eisenhower
to make Ike available for the
presidential campaign of 1852"
The story was written for Quill,
a magazine published by Sigma
Delta Chi, national professional
journalism fraternity, and was re-
leased in Miami, Fla, by John T.
Bills, managing editor of Quill.
Talk in Denver Reported.
Mr.. Mueller said he had a pri-
vate talk in Denver last Decem-
ber with Gen. Eisenhower, who
quoted the President as saying
the general would be recalled from
Europe in the midsummer of
1852 to make him available for
the nomination for President.
At Key West, the Presidents
press secretary. Joseph Short, said
Il have no comment on any of
that"

Gen. Eisenhower habitually
declines to authorize any COM
ment on press story that at

and repeated denials, to link his
name with possible political as
pirations. However, in this case,
the general is quoted as repeating
statements attributed to the Pres

general, therefore, authorized me
to make sufficient exception to
this policy to say that the Presi-
