Washington, Feb. 14 (U.PJ
Government internal revenue
receipt! plumped by $1,800,000
000 in the 1949 calendar year,
moitly because of a huge 12
per cent drop in personal income
tax payments.
Officials said the year end
lummary released by the bureau
ofrinternal revenue sharply re
flected 1949 general economic
decline and the GOP-sponsored
tax euti of 1948.
Total receipt from internal
revenue taxes which yield the
bulk of the government's in
come were $40,501,870,605, or
four and one-quarter per cent

Possibility Of President Truman
Seeking Post In 1952 Creates Stir
Washington, Feb. 14 (U.PJ
You could pay your money and
take your choice on today's big
stickler is President Truman
toying with the idea of running
again in 1952?
One democratic leader an
nounced jubilantly that he is,
but his report drew a guarded
"no comment" from the demo
cratic high command.
OOP Sm Defeat
Several republican! thought
the question was academic. They
said it was obvious that Mr. Tru
man is a candidate for re-election
and predicted confidently
that this time he will be licked.

George Luckey of Los An
geles, vice chairman of the Cal
ifornia democratic central com
mittee, got the thing going. He
told newsmen after a White
House visit that Mr. Truman
answered "maybe so" when he
suggested that the president tiy
for re-election.
"I've Just been talking to the
next president ef the United
States, he said. "He's my boy.
I'm all for him."
Word! Not Repudiated
He said he used the same
words in Mr. Truman's presence
and they were not repudiated.
Luckey did not pin Mr. Tru
man down definitely on his can
didacy, but he left the impres
sion that it was a good political
possibility.
He said the president told him
that "if .we have the same team
together again, maybe we can
do something." By the "team,"
he said, the president meant the
same voters who supported him
in 1948 in his surprise victory
over Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York.
Democratic leaders at f 1 r t
were surprised, then concerned.
Should Not Be Pushed
Some thought the statement
premature. Others took the ktand
that President Truman himself
has not made up his mind and
shculd not be pushed into a de
cision. A spokesman at democratic
national committee headquarters
said only:
"There will be no comment
from the committee on the
Luckey statement. That goes for
Chairman (William M.) Boyle
and all others."
Reaction at the White House
was that Luckey's remarks were
premature at the very least.
While some close associates of
the president have assumed that
he would run again, his closest
advisers aren't talking about it
now on the grounds that the
time for decision is still about
two years away.
James Roosevelt, the late pres
ident's son, said in Log Angeles
ttiut Mr. Truman and Vice Pres
ident Alben W. Barkley seem to
be "an excellent team." He de
clined further comment.

ELLSWORTH
rets From Oregon
publican party being dead. 'We
mempers of congress who spena
some of our time at home know
differently, but it has looked that
way in this city populated by ad
ministration payrollees. Recent
ly, however, the republicans
staged a big Lincoln day party
here. Everyone was surprised, in
cluding the republicans, when
12,000 people crowded into the
hall and another estimated 3,000
were turned away for lack of
room. There has been consider
able optimism in republican cir
cles here since that event,
UNDER THE heading of "now
it can be told." I can reveal the
fact that I had considerable to
do with drafting the recently
published statement of principles
and objectives of the republican
party. Representative Joe Mar
tin, republican minority leader
of the house, asked me to be a
member of a three-man drafting
committee. After drafting our
own version we met with the
three members of the senate
drafting group and with repre
sentatives of the republican na
tional committee and hammered
out a final consolidated draft
which was approved and re
leased. It was an interesting ex
perience for me and I feel that
the job we turned out was a pret
ty good one. One thing about the
recent republican 'statement
which is different from most plat
form documenti is that it con
tains 23 short, positive state
ments under the several headings
which recite in plain language
what the republicans propose to
do when they are voted into
power. When these positive and
definite short statements are set
out by themselves they represent
an effective answer to the ques
tion: "Why don't the republicans
tell us what they stand for?"
Obviously there is nothing
startling or new in the recent re
publican statement. Its chief
value lies in the fact that it is a
short summary of what we have
been saying. It seems to me the
only serious failure of the repub
lican party is its inability to geU
lis actions ana us pnnosopny
properly and accurately publi
cized. We have been a little bit
like the fellow who winks at his
girl in the dark. He knows what
he Is doing but no one else does.
I hope the party statement which
I helped create will do a little to
ward curing this situation.
THE HOUSE during this ses
sion of congress has been plagued
with poorly drawn and ill-considered
legislation coming to the
floor. It has also been frustrated
by delaying tactics. The postal
rate Increase bill passed recently
was a jumble of bad guesses on
how to raise more revenue anc'
was amended on the floor to such
an extent that few members
knew what was in it when the fi
nal vote came. The bill to aid
Korea came to the floor with
the declaration that $120 millions
were required. It was rejected
by a close vote. Warmed over it
was brought back and passed for
half that amount.
Other officers, all named with
out opposition, included Paul II.
ttynning, urst vice president:
Lyndell Newbry, second vice
president; Warren G. Lesseg,
third vice president; Harry Sker
ry Jr., secretary-treasurer, and
Mrs. G, Q. D'Albini, historian,
re-elected. Mrs. M. Allison Moul-
ton headed the nominating com
mittee.
The banquet, which featured
an addres by United States Sen.
George W. Malone of Heveda,
was attended by about 230 coun
ty republicans. Murray Gardiner,
retiring president of the club,
presided.
