Truman too busy with 1946 to think about 1948

WASHINGTON (UP) – President Truman has not made up his mind about running for re-election in 1948.

He told his news conference yesterday he’d been too busy to give it a thought. He, as he put it, was trying to get through 1946. He’d think about 1948 when it arrived.

But he denied that he had said he would not run in 1948. Stories to that effect were untrue, he said.
