Political Comments
By r H.

Speculation is rife today as to what will be the reaction of Pres-
dent Truman to the candidacy of Sen. Estes KeFauver for the Demo
cratic nomination to the presidency.
Some word either pro or con is expected from Mr.. Truman to-
day, when he holds his weekly news conference.
The position Of Mr. KeFauver, to the effect that he seeks nothing
less than the presidential nomination., certainly doesn't leave much
room for the President to generaHze on KeFauver's candidacy.
