'Maybe So'
According to a California Democrat who might know, President Truman has been thinking about the 1952 presidential election.
George Luckey, Los Angeles, vice-chairman of the California Democratic central committee, has reported that he put the question up to the President during a White House visit and got "maybe so" for an answer.
"He said 'maybe so,'" Luckey told reporters. "He said that if we have the same team together again, maybe we can do something."
Luckey said by "team" the President meant those who supported him in 1948.
While Mr. Truman has never declared openly that he would be a candidate for reelection in 1952, he has never flatly ruled out the possibility.
