Morse Predicts HST Not to Run For Third Term - Los Angeles (U.B Sen. Wayne Morse, R-Ore., predicts that President Truman will not run for a third term and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will be his successor in the White House. Morse, a liberal Republican, aid at a press conference here that many GOP stalwarts said to be pledged to Sen. Robert Taft as the party's presidential nominee will bolt to the Eisenhower camp at the first opportunity. "Most of them realize we must win," he said, "and we can win with Ike." Morse said: Sen. Richard Rus sell's announcement that he is a candidate for the Democratic Domination almost automatically put President Truman out of the running. He said the Georgia senator's declaration meant that "every southern state will be pitted against Truman in the Demo cratic convention and thus his goose will be cooked." Morse said his name was put forward as a presidential candi date in Oregon by pro-Taft forces attempting to divert votes from Eisenhower, but he plans to thwart the move by running as a delegate at large to the GOP convention. i in ii ii.i i urn m .. nun iip n wmwmmm!m9T9mP'mmml''lmmm'mmmvH ' " lie '' , - V v . r , ; Buaday.
