ing National Chairman William
M. Boyle to tell the Westerners
that he hoped to see them before

non -committal.
He said, however, that he was
hopeful of following his annual
custom of joining his old outfit at
the 35th Division reunion at
Topeka. Kans.. June 9.
Asked About Running Again.
The President dismissed as
hypothetical a question as to his
choice for the presidency if he did
not run and when reporter spoke
of talk that he inclined to favor
"a general'-meaning Gen. Eisen-
Ihower-Mr. Truman said he had
read something about that and he
also recalled similar discussion in
1948.
Another reporter wanted te
know how the President felt about
seeking another term in view ot
the new constitutional prohibi-
Ition against more than two terms
flor President. Mr.. Truman saio
that that amendment did not
apply to him.
He also advised the reporter tc
read history and he'd find out
that the first term of a President
was the first one to which he was
elected.
Asked what he thought about
the progress on his legislative pro-
gram and whether Congress had
been moving fast enough, Mr.
Truman said that was delicate
question and that he did not in
tend to enter into a controversy
with Congress.
The record Of a Congress Is not
complete until Congress is through
and this one still has another
term to go, he said.

sociation, said the incentive pay
ments would pierce wage control
ceilings and would be unstabiliz-
ing to the economy.
Earlier, Government predicted
that the cost Of living would
remain at about the same level
for several months.
This encouraging forecast was
made by Evan Clague, head of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
after release of figures that showed
the rise Of living costs had come
to a virtual halt for the first time
in a year.
Mr.. Clague announced that the
Governments cost-of- living ther-
mometer on April Is stood at 1916
of the 1859 average, or only
one-tenth of l per cent above the
level Of mid-March. This marked
the first time since the start Of
the Korean war that costs had
been held substantially in check.
And Mr.. Clague indicated that
the relatively stable situation was
no accident. He said there was
no question but that prices had
leveled of. adding they probably
would stay that way for some
time.
Elsewhere on the controls front,
Price Director Michael v. Disable
gave manufacturers an additional
IS days-until July 2-to put new
ceiling prices into effect. The
manufacturers had appealed for
more time beyond the original
May % deadline.
Like most other goods and serv-
ices. manufactured articles have
been frozen at the highest level
OF the period between last De-
cember 19 and January Is. The
new ceilings are based on pre-
Korean selling prices plus some
additional costs.
While the latest living cost in
crease was small. it still was of
sufficient size to allow about a
million auto workers a Scent per
hour wage boost. The pay of the
workers is tied to living costs and
is adjusted every three months.
The 3 cents increase to be paid
June reflects largely cost in
creases in the two months prior
to March IS.

and if such a trip was projected
he would let them know in plenty
of time to get ready because he
knew that many would want to
accompany him.

about national affairs, the Presi-
dent told reporters that they were

desired and he reiterated anew
that the whole aim of his admin

Asserting that in another war
this country would be a battle

not want to see another conflict

The President also said he was
greatly worried about the extern
sion Of economic controls on
which Congress is tagging, but he
expressed confidence that these
curbs on rents, wages, prices ano
|other economic factors would be
extended.
The President broke into the
political exchange to say that he
had noticed that some columnists
whose work he enjoyed had been
describing him as cocky. He said
that was the wrong word and that
he believed they meant to say
confident"
The President said that he was
not cocky in 1948, that he neither
wants to assume a cocky attitude
nor does he feel cocky.
He stressed that he believed in
his program because it is for the
good Of the people and he said that
he believes they think it is right
Then he diverted to say further
"the whole policy is based on
peace" and he added that moth
ing in my life amounts to any
thing but world peace"
His assertion that he did not
want to see this Nation slip back
into the dark ages" brought a
query as to whether he did not
think that 1--WE have enough in
|tellect and energy" to avert such
an end even though a third world
war was forced.
The President said he did, but
went on to say that another world
war would be far different than
Its predecessors because inevitably
this country would be a battle
front" and Il don't want to take
Ia chance on it,"

The political question was
touched off by a request for COM

Itary of Agriculture Brannan that
