EISENHOWER FOR PRESIDENT?
POSSIBILITY OF SELECTION
Democratic Party Convention
Tumultuous Demonstration
Expected
London, July 1
At his news conference today, President Truman was asked whether he would welcome General Eisenhower as his Vicepresidential candidate, and Mr Truman replied that this question
should be put to General Eisenhower himself.
A Washington correspondent says that many people in the last few days have been trying to persuade General Eisenhower to run for the presidency. General Eisenhower has not told any of them that he will be available, but neither has he hrmly turned the suggestion down. The correspondent says that unless he does turn it down within the next ten days, there may well be a tumultuous demonstration on his behalf at the Democratic Party Convention, and it is possible that he might be chosen as Presidential candidate by acclamation, despite the fact that he is not campaigning.
