added:

Truman Discussing
Campaign Strategy
With Mckinney
BY Joseph A. Fox
Star Sioff Correspondent

KEY WEST, Fla, Mar. IT.
President Truman today talked
campaign strategy with Demo-
cratic National Committee, Chair
man Frank E. Mckinney. It was
believed likely there would be some
meeting of minds on Just what
Mr.. Truman intends to do about
seeking re-election-or otherwise
| That there would be any an
nouncement as the result Of their
discussions seemed unlikely. White
House Press Secretary Joseph
Short said when Mr.. Mckinney
arrived yesterday that he did not
expect any statement to come
out Of the meeting between the
President and the chairman, and
the President himself said before
leaving Washington that he an
ticipated no announcement of in
tent in the course of his stay here.
Two Hints Of Decision.
There are, however, two things
that point to the likelihood of
some understanding being reached
here: First, Mr.. Mckinney, a
Ihard-bitten banker, is not used
to operating in a vacuum, and
unless he is simply going along
Tor the ride in his chairmanship
ne could be expected to seek some
definite indication of what the
President intends to do.
In the second place, the Demo-
Gratis are holding a $100-per-plate
dinner in Washington on March
I29. and among the 5000 guests
already lined UP. are a lot from
around the country who are going
to be somewhat miffed if the oc-
caslon passes without some out
ward declaration from the Presi-
dent-upless the chairman can
offer a quiet tip as to what is in
the offing. In other words, they
won't want to be going home
empty handed. particularly since
they've got to be looking for cam
lpaign money.
An added factor indicating some
sort OF decision will be reached
here is the fact that in II visits
extending over five years. the
President has had few guests get
ting the top-level treatment ac-
corded Mr.. Mckinney. The party
chairman came in here on his
56-foot cruiser. but was promptly
taken ashore to the Little White
House" where he is to be a guest
until tomorrow. It looks a though
the President intends this meet
ing to mean something.
VIII See Press.
Sometime before he leaves, Mr..
Mckinney is seeing the presiden-
tial press party, but whether 1t
will be today or tomorrow. was
undetermined at the outset of his
stay.
President Truman and his
chairman had q lot to talk over
in the wake of the Presidents
setback in the New Hampshire
presidential primary. He went
into the primary at the urging
Iof Mr.. Mckinney who wanted the
regulator Truman-Democratic
convention slate protected there.
The slate was entered without
consultation with the chairman,
however, and he had little altern-
|ative but to urge the President
to back it up. Then came the
upset by Senator Kefauver Of
Tennessee.

On purel y constitutional

ferred on the Legislative Assem-

Legislative Assembly in other
sections Of the Organic Act,
The position here sought to
be created does not differ in
legal significance from other
so-called insular positions
created by the Legislative As
sembly, the salaries of which
are paid from both municipal
budgets. All such officers are
officers of the two municipal
governments and are required
to be appointed by t h e
Governor.
/ am in favor of the creation
by Congress Of the position for
a Resident Commissioner for
the Virgin Islands. Any substitute
for a Resident Commissions,
without his authority and pres
tige as a nonvoting member Of
the House Of Representatives.
would, in my opinion, be in
adequate and Intellectual. For
example,, a Delegate or Resi-
dent Commissioner for terri
torial possessions, W h e n
authorized by Congress, is a
member Of the important In
terror and Insular Affairs
Committee, as well as the
Agriculture Committee, of the
H louise Of Representatives.
Thus, he participates in the
formation Of legislation for the
territories. A representative
appointed under local autho-
rity would not be in such a
strategic position.
If the municipalities were
self-supporting, no one could
properly question the expendi
ture Of the $25, 900 for lobby
ing. However, in the face Of
recent action Of the House Of
Representatives in passing a.
new Organic Act without the

dent Commissioner for the
