President Says
Thut He Will Not
Change His Mind
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman announced
last night that he would not be a
candidate for reelection.
He made his announcement to
more than 5000 stunned diners at
the Jefferson = Jackson dinner.
many of whom shouted mo! Mol"
"I shall not be a candidate for
reelection, the President said. II
have served my country long and,
I think, efficiently and honestly.

tion. I do not feel that it is my
duty to spend another four years
in the White House.
Urged to Remember Ideals.
"We must always remember the
things the Democratic Party has
done, and the high ideals that
have made it great.
''We must be true to its princi-

IF we do that, we can be sure
there will be a Democratic Presi-
dent in the White House for the

Istrike is to be averted.
But the present rules Of price
control must be changed if steel
prices are to be raised enough to
satisfy the industry. The problem
facing Defense Mobilizer Charles
IL. Wilson, who is in charge OF
the case, was to find a way to raise
steel prices that would not lead
Ito increases in other industries
and a consequent breakdown OF
controls.
Truman Faces Problem.
Another problem. and one fac
ling President Truman, involved
the peaceful settlement of diff
|ferences within his official family
over the question of granting steel
price increases.
Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall re-
lportedly was holding firm to his
position that boost in steel prices
lis contrary to stablization rules
Iand that if one is granted the
Government may as well give up
the fight to control imitation.
Mr.. Arnall's position was sup
ported in part by Economic Sta
bilizer Roger L. Putnam. who has
the dual responsibility of holding
the line against both wage and
price increases.
Whether the differences could
be ironed out without a resigna-
ton or two in the official family
was a question.
In any event, one high official
said the decision had been made,
apparently with MIR. Truman's
blessing, to raise prices. The
amount under discussion ranged
from $4 to $5 a ton with smaller
increases to be allowed later in
of the dispute a package" of 26
cents an hour for the steelworkers
lin wages and "fringes'' such as
Ipaid holidays, improved vacation
arrangements, increased shift diff
lferentials and premium Sunday
Ipay. The workers would get a wage
increase of 1914 cents an hour

second increase of 212 cents July

25-minute attack on the Republi-
can Party and ended months of
speculation as to what his course
would be.
Seemingly the President had
reached his decision quickly. as
only a little while earlier q White
House intimate had indicated that
Mr.. Truman did not intend to tip
his hand until around convention
time.
While the President waited un-
til the last few lines of his speech
to renounce further ambitions, it
had seemed right at the very
outset that he might be on the
verge of some statement.
BOmbshell is Dropped.
Mr.. Truman had been extolling
the record of the Democrats since
1888 declaring that the Party had
established a proud" and honor
able" record and adding: Who
ever the Democratic nominee for
President may be this year, he will
have this record to run on"
Then came the bombShell.
Reached after his startling
announcement. as he prepared to
enter his car to return to the
White House, Mr.. Truman was
asked If there was any chance
he might change his decision.
"None whatsoever" he said.
Mrs. Truman, walking behind
the President, was asked:
Are you happy over that de-
cision?"
Mrs. Truman Smiles.
She turned, and with a smile
said:
"Of course. anything he says
goes"

Schools
The Board of Education se,

The Board of Education sent
what it considered an austerity
budget to the Commissioners and
met with immediate slashes, par
Iticularly in the construction pro.
gram.
The city heads reduced the COM
struction funds from $12.5 million
to SIS million, leaving money for
one badly needed white elemen-
tary school in Southeast. Also left
in the budget were funds to plan a
new administration building and
a new white junior high school in
Southeast, plus site money for a
Icolored elementary building in
Northeast.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
and the School Board said the
construction program slash would
lead to trouble as each item re-
quested was needed to avoid i'm
possible overcrowding in existing
schools.
In passing the appropriation bill
Friday, the House approved the
meager construction program, but
Ia hidden cut struck the most
icruel blow" accordington DR..
Corning.
S674,70O Cut.
This was the refusal of funds to
pay the salary increases required
by law-some $500,000, the total
cut was $674,700. These salaries
must be paid so the School Board
will have to save money down the
line to make up this sum. The
result, DR.. Corning said, could only
mean reduced service to the chill
dren-fewer teachers. less jani-
torial help.
This slash was on top of a
detion of $250.000 from the SAL
ary funds which the School Board
and the Commissioners agreed to
make before the budget even got
to Congress. The money is the
equivalent of so teaching positions
In the white schools.
School officials had agreed to
eliminate that many positions this
coming year to make up partially
the additional funds needed to
hire some SO additional colored
teachers. These teachers are es-
Sential to reduce the class size
in the colored schools.
Surplus in White Schools.
DR.. Corning said he could drop
the so positions by not filling va
cancies left by retirements, resig-
nations and deaths. But that is
about the limit of what can be
done in reducing the number Of
teachers in the white schools in
one year. The white schools have

Feds Make All-Out Drive Break Up
 Narcotic Rings
By CHARLES F. BARRETT

WASHINGTON, (P)-Federal agents prowled through the sinis- ter narcotics underworld today, seeking even bigger game than any of the 500 suspected dope peddlers already seized in a sweeping nationwide dragnet.
 Narcotics Commissioner Harry J. Anslinger said the roundup, which started before dawn Fri day and continued around the clock, is laying the groundwork for capture of some of the na- tion'S biggest illicit drug dealers.
 A grand jury investigation al- ready under way will lead to cap ture of some national racket kings within three weeks, Enslinger predicted.
 He added he couldn't say where the jury is working because Eff we even mentioned the name of the city, some of the men who are talking will be killed"
 Meanwhile, the commissioner gave credit for the biggest mop up of dope peddlers ever staged, to undercover men who pose as illicit dealers. They work their way into the heart of the crime world, risking their lives to put racketeers behind bars.
 About 100 federal agents and 200 government-paid informers are remaining underground to continue the cleanup, he said. Scores had to give up their roles of danger and intrigue to make the arrests and appear in court with evidence.
 Anslinger said illicit drug traf- fife has been dealt a crippling blow. The drive is aimed especial ly at suppliers of teen-age drug addicts.
